Upon engaging in transactions with EWC, you represent and warrant that:
EWC may offer shipping labels for the delivery of Merchandise. The Merchandise is insured under EWC's policy from the moment of shipment until receipt by EWC. The terms outline the process for filing a claim in the event of loss or damage during shipment.

When sending an alligator strapped watch from an international address to European Watch Company:
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a US law designed to protect and conserve threatened and endangered species and their habitats. It prohibits the import, export, and trade of endangered species without proper permits or exemptions. Penalties for violating the ESA can include substantial fines, imprisonment, forfeiture of assets, and civil penalties. Repeat offenders or those found guilty of more serious violations may face harsher penalties. The ESA also allows for the recovery of damages caused by illegal activities, including the cost of restoration and rehabilitation efforts for affected species and habitats.

European Watch Company shall substitute the alligator strap with an alternative strap fabricated from cow leather or offer a discount for the new owner to buy an alligator strap locally to comply with applicable laws.
