G.M.T. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF USE.

Welcome to WatchNetwork.com, the website of G.M.T. Distribution, Inc. ("G.M.T."). We at G.M.T. are happy to offer you the ultimate watch store offering a collection of watch straps, watch winders and special order fine time pieces. We collectively refer to the services that we provide to you through this site, and our site itself, as the "Service."

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SERVICE. The following language describes the legal relationship between you and G.M.T. By accessing any area of the Service, you agree to abide by and to be legally bound by the following legal terms of use ("TOU"), including, but not limited to the WatchNetwork.com returns and exchange policy located here and you acknowledge that any other agreement between you and G.M.T. regarding this Service and your use thereof is superseded by these TOU. We reserve the right to modify or update these TOU at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or updates as soon as they are posted on this site. We furthermore reserve the right, at any time and without any liability to you, to discontinue the Service. Please note that our Service is available only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, minors may not use the Service unless these TOU have been agreed to by a parent or legal guardian.

GENERAL TERMS OF PURCHASE.

The purchase terms in the following paragraph relate to items available through the Service from G.M.T.’s affiliated retail companies:

The goods sold through this Service are shipped from the State of New York. Therefore, tax is charged and collected on all shipments within New York State. G.M.T. does not currently ship from any other state within the United States, and therefore does not charge taxes for non-New York, domestic shipments. For all shipments outside of the United States, the customer is responsible for all taxes, customs, and/or import duties. All items purchased from G.M.T. are F.O.B. our New York location, and title to the purchased items passes to the customer at the time the goods are delivered to the carrier. Listed prices may be changed by G.M.T. at any time without notice to you. The price listed on the Service does not guarantee that purchase price until payment is made. If an incorrect price is listed due to typographical or other error, G.M.T. has the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for products listed at the incorrect price, whether or not the order has been confirmed or your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is refused or canceled by G.M.T., G.M.T. will promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge.

COMMUNITIES.

In addition to offering watch and watch accessory products from G.M.T.’s affiliated retial companies, we are proud to offer within the Service on-line discussion communities, including, without limitation, "Watch Classifieds," which offers our users the ability to post and view numerous watch listings (collectively, the "Communities"). G.M.T. encourages your participation but asks you to remember that you are responsible for the content of messages you post. G.M.T. does not and cannot review every message posted (but reserves the right to do so).

1. Additional Communities Terms.

In addition to the other TOU, if you access or use the Communities, you are responsible for complying with the policies in this Communities section (as subsequently modified and posted by G.M.T.); if you cannot comply with the TOU (including these policies), please do not use the Communities. By using the Communities, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. The information you submit to the Communities shall not be deemed confidential, and shall be publicly available to third parties.

2. Content available through the Communities is provided "AS IS," and you are solely responsible for your reliance on and use of such content. In addition, you shall remain solely responsible for the content of messages you post. G.M.T. does not and cannot review every message posted in the Service and is not responsible for the content of these messages or for the consequences of any communications made through the Communities.

3. You agree not to upload to or distribute or otherwise publish through the Communities any content that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, slanderous, threatening, harassing, hateful, abusive, embarrassing to any other person or entity, or that violates or infringes the copyright, trademark, or any other personal or proprietary rights of any third party, or that is otherwise inappropriate.

4. You agree not to use the Communities for any purpose in violation of local, state, national, or international laws or regulations, the TOU or applicable Internet regulations, policies and procedures.

5. The Communities may be used only for non-commercial purposes. You agree not to, without the express approval of G.M.T., distribute or otherwise publish any material containing any solicitation of funds, advertising or solicitation for goods or services (except with respect to your own personal use of the site for the posting of, and response to, ads for watches and watch accessories).

6. You agree not to engage in activities which interfere with Service operations; post chain letters or pyramid schemes; impersonate another person or allow another person or entity to use your identification for posting or viewing comments; distribute viruses or other harmful computer code; harvest or otherwise collect information about others (including email addresses) without their consent; or post the same note more than once or; spam."

7. You agree not to disrupt the normal flow of dialogue, or otherwise engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Communities or the Service, or which, in the judgment of G.M.T., exposes G.M.T. or any of its affiliates, licensors, licensees, or users to any liability or detriment of any type.

8. If you become aware of a violation of these policies, please notify G.M.T. by sending a detailed e-mail message to custserv@watchnetwork.com. If you are writing to report a copyright infringement, please follow the procedure set forth in the section entitled "DMCA Notice" in these TOU.

G.M.T. reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary to protect the personal safety of our users or the public, including, without limitation, terminating your account. G.M.T. has no liability or responsibility to users of this Service or the Communities or any other person or entity for performance or nonperformance of the aforementioned activities.

2. Listing An Item in Watch Classifieds.

By listing an item in Watch Classifieds, you represent and warrant to prospective buyers that you have the right and ability to sell, and that the listing or description is accurate, current and complete, and is not misleading or otherwise deceptive. Listed items should be limited to watches and watch accessories. Note that, in general, there are taxes on anything you sell through the Service; as such, we recommend that you contact a tax expert to advise you about your sales through the Service. You agree to pay applicable fees for listing your classified ad(s).

3. Communities Disclaimers.

By accessing the Communities (including, without limitation, Watch Classifieds), you acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the disclaimers set forth below in the "Disclaimer of Warranties" section of these TOU, the following disclaimers apply:

Although we provide a forum through which users may list and respond to online classified ads, we are not involved in the actual transactions between buyers and sellers. As such, we have no control over the truth or accuracy of the listings, the quality, safety or legality of the items advertised, the ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to buy items. Nor can we ensure that a buyer or seller will ultimately complete a transaction. In addition, because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and do not confirm each user's purported identity.

Again, owing to the fact that we are not involved in the actual transactions between buyers and sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release G.M.T. (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes; you further acknowledge that we are not under any obligation to resolve any such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which provides that: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Finally, we do not control the information or materials provided or items offered for sale by other users which is made available through our system. We do not represent or warrant that the information or items offered through the Service will be as represented by sellers, available for sale at the time of purchase, lawful to sell, or that sellers or buyers will perform as promised. You may find such information to be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive. We urge you to exercise caution, and to use common sense when using our Service. Note that there are also risks of dealing with underage persons, people acting under false pretense, or international trade and foreign nationals.
