Delivery times of non-stock goods
Thanks to our extensive stock, we are able to immediately send out 95% of all orders received. The dispatching of special contact lenses that are not stocked frequently depends on the delivery conditions of our suppliers. During the order process, the customer will be shown an indication of the expected shipping date after selecting your desired parameter combination. Please note that the general „in stock“ info indicates the general availability of a product from our company. It does not necessarily mean that your unique combination will be in stock. Please only refer to the expected shipping date revealed next to the drop-down menus for shipping information pertaining to your specific order. Any expected delay in delivery will be reconfirmed in the order confirmation email. The customer will be made aware when only part of his order is in stock at the time of order confirmation. By confirming and completing payment for the order, the customer agrees that the entire order will be shipped only after all products are in stock. The dispatching of stock products before the dispatching of non-stock products will only be allowed under special circumstances. If desired, the customer can pay an extra delivery fee (equal to regular delivery costs) to receive the stock goods before the non-stock goods. We reserve the right to change the delivery times according to updated information from our suppliers at any given time. We strive to always provide accurate information from the point of order placement but remain dependent on the delivery times communicated by our suppliers.

 

We are not responsible for any delay in delivery caused by our logistical partners. To ensure the smoothest possible delivery, we strongly recommend you provide us your complete address information (street name, house number, postal code and city) and a telephone number where our logistics partners can reach you if needed. We will track your shipment and undertake action if any problem occurs. Once the order has been shipped, you will receive access to a track and trace number where you can follow the shipment online. Do not hesitate to contact us if you notice any problems in the track and trace. Our customer service will tend to your problem with great care and a quick response rate.

 

Damaged Packaging
Contact lenses and accessories are delivered in a sturdy container of sufficient size, thus you can be sure you receive your shipment undamaged and in good condition. However, if the box is damaged, do not accept the package from the logistical partner and specify the reason in the delivery protocol, such as „substantial damage to the box,“ „liquid leak“ etc. You should also contact us immediately, so that we can quickly respond to the problem and provide you with a new delivery.

 

Warranty and Returns
The 24-month warranty period begins when the product is received by the Buyer. If the purchased item, its packaging or instructions for use attached to it state an expiration date in accordance with special legal regulations, the warranty period shall end on the expiration date. We usually supply contact lenses with an expiration date longer than 24 months. Use-by dates are available for each product in our web store. If you have any questions or doubts of the use-by dates, please contact our customer service.


Complaints and Returns
If you wish to return a damaged or faulty product, we recommend you place it in a stiff box and send it by registered post. This is to prevent damage during transport. If you wish to return any contact lenses that have been unpacked (or used), it should be prevented from drying out during transport. We recommend you place the lens in a case with solution and close it firmly. As each return is unique in its own way we advise you to contact our customer service help desk beforehand to stipulate the exact details of the return (how many lenses will be returned, was the package opened or unopened, will the box be included in the return, communication of the LOT number, etc.) at our email address. The item you wish to return should be accompanied by a letter describing the product’s fault and the expected result.


Faulty lenses
If you have any complaints about the quality of your lenses (redness, blurred vision, uncomfortable feeling, dryness), we can send the lenses to the manufacturer who will then execute a thorough quality check of the lenses in question. Please note that this process can take up to two months, including shipping time, as we wait on the final result from the producer. Some lenses may need to be sent abroad for analysis, which can also impact length of this process. When a manufacturing error is recognized, we will send you new lenses with the same parameter combination for free. If, however, it is determined there is no manufacturing error, we cannot refund you for the lenses or send a new pair.


Dissatisfaction with a new brand of lenses
Switching to a new brand of contact lenses, even if recommended by a specialist, carries a risk that this new brand may not fit the wearer. The seller is not liable for any medical complications or discomfort that can result from wearing such lenses. We advise you to always consult with your ophthalmologist or optician before attempting new lenses. Each user can have a different experience with the same type of lenses. We can only exchange these lenses if the packaging is unopened and undamaged.


Dissatisfaction with the effect of coloured lenses
The ultimate effect of wearing coloured lenses is very subjective and may vary according to numerous conditions and influences. First, the effect will be influenced by the pigmentation of your eyes. Second, it can be influenced by external factors, such as light conditions, make-up and clothing choices. Furthermore, the type of coloured lenses (enhancing or opaque) may produce a different result on the coverage of your natural eye colour. Because it is impossible to predict the result for each individual, we cannot offer a refund on coloured lenses if you are unsatisfied with the outcome.

Dispute Resolution
The consumer has a right to demand correction of their dispute resolution if they are not satisfied with the manner the dispute was resolved or if they maintain that the seller violated their consumer rights. They can contact the seller by email. If the seller refuses to conduct the correction or does not reply to the query in a 30-day period, the consumer has a right to submit a complaint with an Alternative Dispute Resolution entity (ADR entity), legally bound by the United Kingdom national law (Consumer Protection Law 2015 no. 542). The complaint can be submitted as detailed in United Kingdom national law (Consumer Protection Law 2015 no. 542).


The consumer can also submit their complaint online via the European Online Dispute Resolution platform (ODR platform) – http://ec.europa.eu/…index_en.htm


The definition of ‘consumer’ for the purposes of Alternative Dispute Resolution covers natural persons who are acting outside their trade, business, craft or profession. However, if the contract is concluded for purposes partly within and partly outside the person’s trade (dual purpose contracts) and the trade purpose is so limited as not to be predominant in the overall context of the supply, that person should also be considered as a consumer. Alternative Dispute Resolution shall apply to procedures for the out-of-court resolution of disputes concerning contractual obligations stemming from sales contracts or service contracts between a trader and a consumer. Alternative Dispute Resolution shall apply to long-distance purchase contracts only. Alternative Dispute Resolution shall not apply to disputes where the value of the claim does not exceed €20. The ADR entity can apply a nominal fee to the consumer for filing the complaint which cannot exceed €5 including VAT.


Withdrawal from the Contract
Everyone has the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of receipt of the goods. In the event of withdrawal from the contract, the Buyer must observe the following conditions:
The returned goods must be complete
The goods must not be used or damaged. The original packing must not be opened. If the consumer opens the original packing, then the product can no longer be used for hygiene and safety reasons. Such a product is no longer resalable and cannot be returned.


Required documentation
Please enclose the proof of purchase that we issued, its copy or your order number. Don't forget to include your bank account number.


The goods must be returned in the original condition
We recommend sending the returned goods in a stiff cardboard box rather than an envelope (even if it is an anti-shock envelope). If the shipment suffers damage during transport, we are not obliged to accept it. In the event of withdrawal from the contract, if the Buyer observes the conditions above, he or she shall receive a full refund including the original shipping costs. The Buyer shall bear only the costs incurred in returning the goods. The refund shall be credited to the customer's account within 2–10 days of receipt of the returned goods in a resalable condition.
