TERMS OF SERVICE
OVERVIEW
Welcome to Archie Times Co.
The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Archie Times Co. LLC (“Archie Times Co.”).
Archie Times Co. operates this website and online store, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and services made available to customers (collectively, the “Services”).
Our store is powered by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that enables us to offer the Services to you.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”), together with any policies referenced herein, describe your rights and responsibilities when accessing or using our Services.
Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information regarding purchases, product descriptions, shipping, returns, warranties, limitations of liability, and other legal rights and obligations.
By visiting, interacting with, purchasing from, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, you should not access or use the Services.
⸻
SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or jurisdiction of residence.
To use certain portions of the Services or purchase products, you may be required to provide information including your name, email address, billing information, payment information, telephone number, and shipping address.
You represent that all information provided by you is accurate, current, complete, and that you have the legal right to provide such information.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of any account credentials and for activity occurring through your account.
You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your customer account to another person without our written authorization.
We reserve the right to refuse service, suspend access, or cancel accounts where permitted by applicable law, including in cases involving suspected fraud, misuse, unauthorized payment activity, abusive conduct, or violations of these Terms.
⸻
SECTION 2 – OUR PRODUCTS
Archie Times Co. offers watches and related products that may include new, pre-owned, vintage, collectible, restored, customized, modified, limited-production, discontinued, or otherwise unique timepieces.
We make reasonable efforts to accurately describe and photograph every product offered for sale.
Pre-Owned, Vintage, and Collectible Watches
Pre-owned, vintage, restored, customized, and modified watches may exhibit characteristics consistent with age, prior ownership, refinishing, servicing, restoration, replacement parts, modification, or normal wear.
These characteristics may include, without limitation:
* Scratches
* Marks
* Case or bracelet wear
* Polishing or refinishing
* Strap wear
* Patina
* Aging of luminous material
* Replacement components
* Service-related components
* Cosmetic imperfections
We make reasonable efforts to disclose material condition information known to us.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, photographs of pre-owned, vintage, collectible, or unique watches are intended to depict the actual watch being offered for sale.
Specifications
Reference numbers, production dates, case measurements, movement information, water-resistance ratings, service history, ownership history, and other specifications are provided to the best of our knowledge.
Certain specifications may be approximate unless expressly stated as independently verified.
Vintage watches in particular may contain replacement or service components consistent with maintenance performed during their lifetime.
Appearance
Colors, finishes, proportions, textures, and product appearance may vary depending on lighting, photography, screen calibration, display settings, and the device used to view the website.
We cannot guarantee that your screen will reproduce the exact appearance of a product.
Availability
All products are subject to availability.
Because many watches are unique or available in quantities of one, a product may become unavailable at any time.
We reserve the right to discontinue products, modify descriptions, correct information, and limit quantities where reasonably necessary.
⸻
SECTION 3 – ORDERS
Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase.
An order is not considered finally accepted until payment has been successfully processed and Archie Times Co. confirms or processes the order.
We reserve the right to decline or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including because of:
* Pricing or listing errors
* Product unavailability
* Suspected fraud
* Payment verification issues
* Shipping restrictions
* Compliance concerns
* Security concerns
* Incorrect product information
* Other legitimate business reasons
If an order is cancelled after payment has been processed, the appropriate refund will be issued to the original payment method.
Please review your order carefully before submitting it.
Because many watches are unique, limited, or individually prepared for shipment, cancellation requests may not always be accommodated after an order has entered processing.
Purchases are subject to our Returns & Warranty Policy, which is available through our website and checkout.
⸻
SECTION 4 – PRICES, TAXES, AND BILLING
Prices, promotions, discounts, and product availability may change without notice.
The price applicable to your purchase will generally be the price displayed at the time the order is submitted.
Unless otherwise stated, displayed product prices do not include applicable:
* Sales tax
* Shipping charges
* Customs duties
* Import taxes
* Brokerage fees
* International charges
Such amounts may be calculated at checkout or imposed separately by governmental or customs authorities.
Prices on our website may differ from prices offered through third-party marketplaces, social media platforms, dealers, events, private transactions, or other sales channels.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information.
You represent and warrant that:
1. The payment information you provide is accurate;
2. You are authorized to use the payment method provided;
3. Charges incurred through your purchase will be honored by the applicable payment provider; and
4. You will pay all amounts properly charged in connection with your order.

SECTION 5 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Orders are generally processed and shipped in accordance with our Shipping Policy.
Most orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days following successful payment confirmation.
Certain high-value, customized, modified, authenticated, special-order, or otherwise unique watches may require additional processing time.
Delivery dates and carrier transit times are estimates and are not guaranteed.
We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including:
* Shipping carriers
* Weather
* Natural disasters
* Customs processing
* Governmental action
* Transportation disruptions
* Holidays
* Carrier operational delays
High-value orders may require additional security procedures, including:

Customers are responsible for providing complete and accurate shipping information.
If you discover an error in your shipping information, contact us immediately. Once an order has been processed or shipped, address changes may no longer be possible.
If we are unable to ship an order within the time represented at the time of purchase, we will communicate with you and provide any options required under applicable law.
Please refer to our Shipping Policy for additional information.
⸻
SECTION 6 – RETURNS AND WARRANTY
Purchases are governed by our Returns & Warranty Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
Because many products offered by Archie Times Co. are pre-owned, vintage, restored, customized, modified, collectible, limited-production, or otherwise unique, returns are generally not accepted solely because of buyer preference.
This includes, without limitation:
* Change of mind
* Personal preference
* Appearance or fit on the wrist
* Size expectations
* Finding a lower price elsewhere
* Ordering by mistake
If a watch arrives materially different from its description or has an undisclosed functional defect, customers should contact Archie Times Co. as soon as possible.
Approved returns must comply with the conditions described in our Returns & Warranty Policy.
Certain custom-built or modified watches may include a limited functional warranty as expressly described in the applicable product listing or Returns & Warranty Policy.
Manufacturer warranties, when included with a watch, remain subject solely to the terms, eligibility requirements, exclusions, and decisions of the applicable manufacturer.
Nothing in these Terms or our Returns & Warranty Policy limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived under applicable law.
⸻
SECTION 7 – AUTHENTICITY, INSPECTION, AND HIGH-VALUE WATCHES
Archie Times Co. makes reasonable efforts to evaluate watches before offering them for sale.
Depending on the product, evaluation may include visual inspection, functional testing, reference research, documentation review, serial or reference verification, movement inspection, third-party authentication, or other commercially reasonable procedures.
Certain luxury, vintage, collectible, or high-value watches may be subject to additional:
* Authentication procedures
* Inspection requirements
* Verification procedures
* Shipping requirements
* Payment verification
* Return conditions
* Warranty limitations
When applicable, such conditions may be described in the individual product listing and will supplement these Terms.
If a product-specific term conflicts with a general provision of these Terms, the clearly disclosed product-specific term will govern to the extent permitted by law.

The Services and their contents, including trademarks, logos, branding, text, product descriptions, original photographs, graphics, product reviews, videos, audio, designs, layout, and other materials, are owned by Archie Times Co., its affiliates, licensors, or applicable rights holders and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
