2. Description of Goods and Services

a. A description of the goods is set out on our website and any other documents referred to on our website. Whilst we will attempt to ensure that there are no changes to the goods to be supplied, it is possible that there might be some minor variations to the description and/or specification of the goods which arise by virtue of changes made by the manufacturers of the parts supplied which form part of the goods.

3. Delivery

Unless agreed otherwise in writing:

a. Delivery of the goods will take place at the delivery address stated on the order form;

b. Delivery of the goods must be to a physical address (no P.O. Boxes) in the UK to allow a signature to be obtained for delivery and Royal Mail International Signed for will be used for customers outside the UK which also requires a signature

c. Delivery of the goods will take place within a maximum of 30 days.

d. Any dates specified by us for delivery of goods are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery is not guaranteed. If no dates are specified, we will endeavour to deliver within a reasonable time.

e. If for any reason (not due to our fault) you do not accept delivery of any of the goods in accordance with this paragraph then we may charge you an additional fee to cover any reasonable additional direct costs incurred by us as a result (including additional insurance, delivery, storage or similar charges).

f. Prices exclude delivery. Delivery costs will not be refunded if you choose to return your order for a refund.

g. If the goods are not delivered by the courier we must launch an investigation with the courier to determine if the goods are lost, being returned sender or delivered to a neighbour/safe place. In this period we are bound by the courier's policies and procedures until we can confirm the non-delivery. We can only refund fully once we have confirmation from the courier on the final outcome. For more information on this procedure please contact our customer service team.

h. Delivery of prescription goods is applicable after the product has been glazed. For example, next day delivery chosen at the checkout will apply when we have the prescription lenses fitted to the pair. This won't be sent the next day with prescription lenses.

c. As of 1/1/2021 VAT discounts will apply to orders to countries outside of the UK and the EU. This is to remove any value-added tax that we apply to our prices as mentioned in point 5b. This discount is to remove the UK VAT that customers outside of the UK are exempt from paying. We have added this discount to aid and offset any additional charges your country of residence may charge on your UK purchase. These are charges that we cannot predict or have control over. Yet, we hope by passing on the VAT savings, this will help you. 

d. All taxes and duties are applied at the Checkout for customers in EU countries. You will incur no tax or duty fees at delivery. Taxes and duties change in the checkout in accordance with your domestic rates. 

Note: The 20% VAT refund applies to the cost of goods only, not to additional shipping costs, or your domestic VAT or Import charges.

- You are not registered blind or partially sighted.

Prescription Lenses are a bespoke product that is created and fitted to a product specifically for you. Therefore the prescription element of your order is non-refundable.

Therefore you will not be refunded for your prescription element. The price of the prescription element will also not be added to any exchanges unless otherwise stated by ourselves. 

This doesn't affect your statutory rights regarding the return of defective goods.

- The delivery option chosen at checkout only applies once the product has been glazed by our lab. Please allow time for the product to have your prescription lenses added. Once this has happened, we will ship your prescription eyewear by the delivery option you chose.
