Terms

Who you are contracting with

ChronoArx is a trading name of TechnoDesign, inženirsko svetovanje in druge storitve, Tom Horvat s.p., a sole proprietor registered in Slovenia at Aškerčeva ulica 3, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia. Registration number (matična številka) 8496072000, tax number (davčna številka) 66333300. Not registered for VAT. Registered activity: Druge inženirske dejavnosti in tehnično svetovanje.

Because the business is a sole proprietorship rather than a limited company, the person named above is the other party to these terms and answers for them personally. Write to info@chronoarx.com.

What this covers

ChronoArx is, today, two things: a free web application for keeping a record of a watch collection, and a waiting list for Series One, a winder that has not shipped. These terms apply to both.

Nothing is for sale here yet. There is no price, no order, and no delivery date anywhere on this site, so nothing on it can be bought and no payment is ever taken.

Joining the waiting list is not an order

The waiting list form asks only for an email address and your consent to be emailed. No payment is taken, no price is stated, and no delivery date is given — the form and the copy beside it are built that way deliberately. Joining the waiting list registers interest and nothing else; it creates no contract to buy, and nothing is owed by either side because of it.

Being on the list gives you no priority, no allocation and no unit set aside for you. If reservations open, what they involve will be described at that point, and joining the list obliges you to take no part in it.

You can leave at any time by writing to privacy@chronoarx.com, or, if you have an account on the collection app, by closing it with “Also remove me from the waiting list” ticked. The Privacy notice describes exactly what happens when you do.

Creating an account

Using the collection app requires an account, created by signing in with an email magic link or a supported identity provider. There is no box to tick: signing in records your acceptance of the version of these terms in force at that moment, shown by its date at the top of this page and at sign-in, and the version is stored against your account — so what you agreed to can be shown again later, rather than only what the document currently says.

You can close your account at any time, on your profile. Closing it deletes the account and everything in it straight away, and the Privacy notice says what is kept and why. We may also suspend or close an account used to abuse the service or to reach other people’s data.

The account is yours and the sign-in link is personal to you. Do not share it: anybody holding it can read your collection.

The app is provided free of charge and with no commitment as to availability. We may change or withdraw it, and if we withdraw it we will give you at least 30 days’ notice. You can download a copy of your data from your profile at any time.

What you put in your collection

The app stores what you enter about your own watches: what you own, what you paid, and where each piece is. How that data is handled is described in the Privacy notice, not repeated here.

It stays yours. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to value anybody else’s collection.

Figures the app shows you

Where the app shows an estimated value or suggests a service interval, it is an estimate produced from recorded evidence and it names what that evidence was. It is not an appraisal, not a valuation for insurance, and not advice about whether your watch needs work. Decisions about your own watch are yours, and a watchmaker who has the piece in front of them knows more than this software does.

Acceptable use

Use the site and the app for their purpose. Do not attempt to reach other people’s data, do not submit addresses that are not yours to the waiting list, and do not use automated means to interfere with the service. The waiting list form is rate-limited for this reason, and abuse of it may be blocked.

What belongs to whom

The site, the application, the renderings and the ChronoArx name belong to us. Watch brand names and reference numbers belong to their owners and appear here only to identify the watches they describe; their appearance implies no endorsement by, or association with, those owners.

Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Beyond that, and because the app is provided free of charge, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profit, or for any decision taken on the basis of a figure the app displayed.

If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by anything on this page.

Governing law, and where a dispute is heard

These terms are governed by the law of Slovenia, and the courts of Slovenia have jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the European Union, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country, and you may also bring proceedings there. You can raise a consumer complaint with us first at info@chronoarx.com.

Changes to these terms

These terms are identified by the date at the top of this page. A change does not rewrite what you accepted: your acceptance keeps the date it was made under, and your next sign-in records an acceptance of the new version. Earlier versions are available on request at info@chronoarx.com.
