ORDERS
If your new Bäb Katze watch is not 100% to your satisfaction, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to return it.* All special orders are eligible for store credit only. Orders paid for with store credit are not eligible for a refund. For international returns, please note that any return shipping duties/taxes charged to Bäb Katze Watches will be deducted from the refunded amount. †We are unable to accept international returns from South Africa. Unfortunately, mystery watch purchases are final and not eligible for return.
*Unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns for any watches we no longer carry on our store via ValueMyWatch.com.
DISCOUNT CODES
Discount codes or coupon codes cannot be combined with any “Make an Offer” feature or cart-level promotions offered through ValueMyWatch.com. Discount codes are limited to one per order. Some coupon codes are valid for one-time use only.
We hope you understand that a new Bäb Katze watch can only be returned if it has never been worn or used. It is impossible to wear a watch, even briefly, without causing some blemish. Resized or modified watches with links removed are not eligible for returns.
SIMPLE & EASY RETURN INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Ensure the watch has not been worn or sized. All returns must include the original, undamaged packaging containing all original documents (instruction manuals, warranty cards, hangtags, spare links, plastic protectors, etc.).
Step 2
A) Please sign in to your account on ValueMyWatch.com. Navigate to your order history under your account settings, locate the order containing the Bäb Katze watch you wish to return, and select the return option. Indicate the quantity to return, the return reason, and the requested return action. Add any notes in the comments section if needed, then submit the return request.
Note: If you checked out as a guest, please create an account with the email used for your order on ValueMyWatch.com to access your order history and initiate the return.
Step 3
Return the item to us in the original packaging, including all manuals, warranty cards, and any other materials that came with the watch (e.g., spare links, protective plastic). All returns must be shipped in a crush-resistant box with protective padding inside. Do not return items in envelopes, as these will not protect the item during shipment. We recommend using a standard postal service with trackable delivery confirmation and insuring the shipment to protect against loss or damage. For international returns, avoid using FedEx or UPS, as they may charge Bäb Katze Watches duties/taxes, which will be deducted from your refund.
Please allow up to 7 business days after Bäb Katze Watches receives your return for your refund/store credit to be issued. Returns are processed in the order they are received. Ensure you submit a return request and receive approval via ValueMyWatch.com before returning your product.
RETURN SHIPPING
Shipping charges for non-defective returns are the responsibility of the customer. Original shipping and insurance charges are non-refundable.
ORDER CANCELLATIONS
Orders are processed and sent to our fulfillment center within 20 minutes of completion via ValueMyWatch.com. You can cancel an order at no charge if we are notified within 15 minutes. Please email us at Babkatzewatches@gmail.com or contact ValueMyWatch.com support between 8am-5pm Pacific Standard Time for immediate assistance. A $10 restocking fee will be assessed if we are notified after the 15-minute window but before the order ships. Emails will not guarantee cancellation, as they are answered in the order received. Orders cannot be canceled after they ship. Special orders cannot be canceled, as funds have already been sent to the manufacturer to secure your watch.
PRICE GUARANTEE
Bäb Katze Watches offers a 10-day price guarantee. Should any item you purchase be reduced in price on our store via ValueMyWatch.com within 10 days of purchase, we will provide a store credit for the price difference, usable on any future order.
If orders are received damaged or in unsatisfactory condition, Bäb Katze Watches must be notified within 24 hours of delivery to retain return privileges.
SHIPPING
Most items ship within 1 business day from the point the order is received via ValueMyWatch.com. We are unable to cancel orders unless notified within 1 hour of placement. In limited cases, we may cancel an order before it ships for a $10 fee. Our warehouse, coordinated through ValueMyWatch.com, is closed on weekends and US Federal Holidays. Orders placed after 12:00pm PST will ship the next business day. UPS delivers only on non-holiday business days unless Saturday Delivery is selected at checkout on Fridays. Domestic USPS orders over $300 may be switched to UPS for secure shipping. Free shipping applies to domestic U.S. shipments over $100 and most international orders over $249, if listed. If an item is out of stock and unobtainable, an email will be sent to the buyer. Bäb Katze Watches reserves the right to change the shipping method or carrier, provided transit time remains comparable. We are not responsible for items once they leave our premises.
Once shipped, liability falls under the carrier’s terms. We ship to the address you provide; if inaccurate, neither Bäb Katze Watches nor the carrier is liable for loss. Verify your shipping address carefully. Report shipping damage to Bäb Katze Watches at Babkatzewatches@gmail.com within 48 hours of delivery, or it becomes ineligible for insurance/refund claims.
Shipping charges cover freight only and exclude insurance, which is optional at checkout. If insurance is not selected, the customer assumes all financial responsibility for non-delivery and agrees not to hold Bäb Katze Watches liable or initiate chargebacks. If insurance is selected, we will replace non-delivered items within 60 days of shipment, or issue store credit if replacement is unavailable. Insurance does not cover theft from packages in transit or non-delivery by local postal services. Notify us at Babkatzewatches@gmail.com within 30 days if your order hasn’t arrived so we can issue a tracer. For international USPS shipments (e.g., First Class, Priority, or Express), tracking may be limited, and the buyer assumes all risk of non-delivery.
International orders may incur tariffs, duties, taxes, or handling fees assessed by your local postal/customs office, which are not included in our charges and for which Bäb Katze Watches is not responsible. If UPS/USPS bills us for unpaid taxes/duties, you authorize us to charge your original payment method. Refused or undeliverable orders incur a 20% restocking/re-processing fee.
WARRANTY
Warranty issues are handled directly with the watch manufacturer, not Bäb Katze Watches. Customers agree to hold us harmless for manufacturer warranty claims. Warranties do not cover battery, crystal, strap, or bracelet damage from improper handling, accidents, normal wear, or water damage unless due to defects in materials/workmanship.
EMAILS
By ordering, you accept that Bäb Katze Watches and affiliates may email you about sales, specials, or announcements. Opt out via the Unsubscribe link in any email.
WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance ratings are theoretical, tested in labs under static conditions. Real-world use (e.g., arm movement, water pressure) increases stress on the watch. For scuba diving, a watch needs a screw-down crown and case back. Bäb Katze Watches’ ratings:
“Water resistant”: Splash-proof, not submersible.
“50 Meters”: Brief submersion (e.g., hand washing).
“100 Meters”: Swimming.
“200 Meters”: Recreational scuba diving.
Avoid bathing with watches; soap/shampoo can damage gaskets.
