By placing an order through the Client Relations Center or on the Website, you represent and warrant that you are a bona fide end-user customer and will not deliver, sell or otherwise distribute Cartier products or purchase Cartier products for commercial purposes or any other commercial benefit.

Quantity limits may apply in relation to certain products.  All orders placed through on the Website are subject to availability and acceptance by Cartier.

Cartier further reserves the right to refuse at any moment in time, without prior notice, orders exceeding a certain number of authorized products. 

In order to place an order, you or the Cartier Ambassador (on your behalf) may either register and create an online account, or place an order as a guest without creating an online account by selecting the "Guest Checkout" option. 

If you are ordering on the Website, orders will be processed as follows: Once you have chosen a product, you may place this product in your shopping bag.  You may then decide to continue shopping for other products and add them to your shopping bag (subject to availability and quantity limits) or proceed to “Checkout”. You may also remove one or several products you have selected from the Shopping Bag.  Once on the payment page, review your order details and personal information (including email, shipping address, billing address and payment information), check the box next to “I have read and I accept the Conditions”. Then, place your order.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Cartier reserves the right to refuse, cancel and terminate orders at any moment in time. For example, Cartier may refuse, terminate or cancel your order if there is an ongoing dispute concerning payment of a prior order or if Cartier suspects, in its sole discretion, that you have engaged in fraudulent or grey market activities or have otherwise violated these Conditions of Sale or the policies incorporated herein by reference.

All prices shown on the product pages of the Website or quoted by the Client Relations Center are in Singapore Dollars.

Cartier reserves the right to modify prices and delivery costs at any time without prior notice. The price of a product and delivery costs displayed on the Website or quoted by the Client Relations Center, at the time Cartier provides you with a Confirmation of Order, will be honored by Cartier.

Actual shipping costs and applicable taxes will be reflected on your payment page before you are asked to confirm and place your order (in the case of a Website order) and will also be reflected in the Confirmation of Order. Delivery costs, if any, are described in the shipping policy set forth below and specified on the Website. Sales and use taxes will vary based on the location to which products are being shipped.  Delivery costs and estimated sales and use taxes are not stated on the product pages but will be added to the product price, if applicable, after you have chosen your delivery location and options.

Please note that changes to applicable law between the date your order is placed and the date you are sent a Confirmation of Order may result in changes to the sales tax associated with your purchase.  If the resulting change is an increase in the sales tax you are charged, we will contact you and ask that you reconfirm your purchase.

We accept the methods of payment offered on the Website or through the Client Relations Center.

When ordering on the Website, you will need to enter your payment details on the appropriate form. In the case of an order placed by telephone, you will need to communicate to the Client Relations Center your credit/debit card number and your three -or four- digit security code that is printed on the back or the front of your card (CVV2/CVC2/CID).

All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to Cartier, you will need to contact your card issuer directly to solve this problem.

In order to process your order, we may perform security checks on your credit card.  The full amount of your purchase will be blocked on your credit card until your order is shipped to the shipping address you have provided to Cartier, at which point in time you will be sent a Confirmation of Order and your credit card will be charged the applicable purchase price.  By submitting an offer to purchase Cartier products on the Website or through the Client Relations Center, you expressly authorize Cartier to perform security checks, where Cartier deems necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit-card number, to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorization and to authorize individual purchase transactions.

Where we offer Credit Card/PayPal/PayPal Express/Alipay/WeChat Pay or any other similar payment service as specified on the Sales Channels as a payment method, the full amount of your purchase may be debited on your payment card immediately following the placement of your order or when payment is approved by the payment provider. Pre-payment shall not impact any of your legal rights under these Conditions of Sale (including for example any right of refund). If we cannot meet our shipping and/or delivery obligations set out below, we will notify you via e-mail and we will refund the pre-payment without undue delay.

Wire transfer payment is available through the Client Relations Center. All customers must provide proper form of identification and documents when making a purchase by bank wire transfer. Cartier will only process bank transfers via personal bank accounts and not via corporate or business accounts. Cartier does not charge a fee for bank wire transfers; however, some financial institutions will charge a fee for using a bank wire transfer.

Cartier requires that all bank wire transfer orders by phone be confirmed through an order approval process. Cartier may acknowledge a bank wire transfer order, but the order will not be processed until the payment has been received and confirmed by Cartier by email. If your wire transfer payment is not credited into our bank account within seven (7) days after you have placed your order, your order will be cancelled.

You should carefully check and confirm all details on the payment page before placing your order.  In the case of an order being placed through the Client Relations Center, the Cartier Ambassador will verbally ask you to confirm the details of your order.

Please make sure that you save this Order Reference Number for any future enquiries regarding your order. This Acknowledgment of Order is not an acceptance of your order. Following the transmission of the Acknowledgment of Order, Cartier will conduct its usual credit, anti-fraud, security and related legal checks and, if acceptable, will then process your order.

These Conditions of Sale will be provided to you with the Acknowledgment of Order. Please carefully review these Conditions of Sale upon receipt.
