COLOR AND PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear at the Site. However, as the actual colours you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will be accurate. We have attempted to be as accurate as possible. However, we do not warrant that the product descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by the Site is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.

We will issue a full refund or replacement of goods in all instances where
1. prescription contact lenses or related products are supplied to the wrong specification as per your prescription;
2.contact lenses or related products are supplied damaged; and
3.the products you have ordered are returned to us as undeliverable by the postal service.
4.product is returned within 30 days of purchase

In all instances (save returns to us as undeliverable) you should contact our customer services to request a return and the relevant return address. A refund or replacement will be issued to you following their receipt at that address within 30 days of that date. If goods are returned as undeliverable, you will be contacted by email for confirmation of the delivery address. If no reply is received within a reasonable period and in any event within 30 days of the return of the goods, then a refund will be made within 30 days of that date. You will need to organise & incur any costs to deliver the goods to be returned to the practice under this article before a refund will be processed. We may refuse to accept future orders from those who have made previous unsubstantiated claims for non-delivery of goods. Refunds will be limited to the maximum value of the original order, including delivery charges and will only be issued against the same credit or debit card account as supplied to pay for the goods. We reserve the right to proportionately reduce the level of the refund if only some of the original quantity of contact lenses or related products is returned, or if it is clear that some of the products have been used. In the case of goods returned under your cooling off right, these must be returned undamaged and unused to qualify for a refund (no open packages).
