Terms of Use

Agreement

These Terms of Use govern your use of dialandcrown.com, an international horology publication and a title of VAUDERIVE, the Swiss luxury group. By accessing the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Site use

The site is provided for your personal, non-commercial use. You may read, view and share links to our content. You may not use the site in a way that disrupts its operation, interferes with other users, or violates applicable law.

Copyright and trademarks

All editorial text, design, and the Dial & Crown masthead on this site are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights held by the publisher or its licensors. You may not reproduce, republish, or create derivative works from our content without prior written permission, except as permitted by fair use, fair dealing or other applicable exceptions for quotation, criticism and review.

Third-party trademarks appearing on the site (for example the names and marks of watch manufacturers and auction houses) belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement of, or affiliation with, Dial & Crown or VAUDERIVE.

Prohibited use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, harvest, crawl or extract content or data from the site in bulk or at scale.
• Use the site's content for training machine learning or AI models without prior written permission.
• Circumvent access controls, technical measures or the consent management system.
• Impersonate Dial & Crown, VAUDERIVE or any contributor.
• Submit unlawful, infringing or abusive material to us.
• Introduce malware or attempt to disrupt the site's infrastructure.

Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites (manufacturers, retailers, auction houses). We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not constitute endorsement.

Accuracy of editorial content

We take verification and editorial standards seriously, but horology coverage is published for information and enjoyment. Specifications, prices, availability and dates can change; confirm details with the manufacturer or retailer before acting on them.

Not investment advice

Coverage of watch prices, auction results, market trends and collectible value is editorial content, not investment advice. Nothing on this site should be taken as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any watch or asset. Markets fluctuate; do your own research or consult a qualified professional.

User submissions

If you send us material (for example a watch submission or press material), you represent that you have the right to share it. You grant us a license to review and, at our editorial discretion, to publish or reference it. Submissions are not confidential unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing. We do not return submitted material.

Liability

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content, including editorial errors or omissions and the unavailability of the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Changes to the terms

We may revise these terms as the publication evolves. The updated date at the top of this page will change with each revision. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

Governing law and jurisdiction

To be confirmed by the publisher. Dial & Crown is a publication of VAUDERIVE, the Swiss luxury group.
