• Have completed our registration procedure.
• Have had optical appliances prescribed by a qualified Optometrist or Dispensing Optician and have previously worn such optical appliances in accordance with their instructions and without experiencing any problems with them.
• Have ensured that the details you provided during the registration process on our website are complete and accurate and that any prescription details entered by you upon registration, or at any other time, match those issued to you by a qualified Optometrist or Dispensing Optician.
• Agree to inform us immediately of any changes to the details you have provided to us during the registration process by updating your account through our website, via telephone or via e-mail. Failure appropriately to update your details will be a breach of the contract between you and us, and we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of your failure to provide us with correct and up-to-date information.
• That the prescription relied upon by you when ordering from us has not expired and is not more than 24 months old.
• Consent to us contacting your prescribing Optometrist or Dispensing Optician for the purposes of verifying your prescription details or obtaining a duplicate copy of your prescription. In the event that we are unable to verify your prescription to our satisfaction, you agree that we will not be bound to process your order and supply you with any optical appliances until such time that you have obtained a valid and up-to-date prescription from a qualified Optometrist or Dispensing Optician. Our Opticians are also available to assist you in finding a suitable prescribing Optometrist or Dispensing Optician and can assist you to make an appointment or make an appointment on your behalf.
• Will speak directly to one of Our Opticians if you have any queries at all regarding your existing prescription, its validity and/or suitability for your current needs.
• It is your responsibility to check that the optical appliances you have ordered comply with the correct prescription. We accept no liability for injury or damage to eyes due to an incorrect order placed by you.
• Will follow all instructions for use of any optical appliances or other products supplied by us to you as stated on the product(s), enclosed with any product(s) and/or any instructions provided to you by Our Opticians.
• Undertake that any order placed by you is in respect of your own needs and requirements and that you are not ordering any optical appliances for another person who does not have a valid and up-to-date prescription for optical appliances.
• Are aware that Our Opticians are available on the phone, via the Your Online Optical Clinic portal, via email or in person at our designated office address Mon - Fri, 8am - 5pm to discuss your needs and requirements and that you will seek appropriate advice, as necessary, before placing any order(s) with us via our website.

• Your order does not by itself complete a contract between you and us. Instead, in placing an order through our website you make an offer to us. A binding contract will only be formed between you and us once we have accepted your offer. We are not obliged to accept any offer that you make, we may refuse to accept an offer for any reason whatsoever (including but not limited to inability to take payment from you), and we will have no liability in respect of refusing or otherwise failing to accept any offer from you. No term of these Terms and Conditions may be construed as creating an obligation on us to accept any offer from you.
• After you place an order with us and make appropriate payment, you will receive an e-mail confirming your order. This Order Confirmation e-mail will confirm the details of your order. The Order Confirmation e-mail will also include details of delivery (e.g. delivery address and delivery estimate). Please note that when we send you this Order Confirmation e-mail, we are accepting your offer and a contract is formed between you and us at this stage. At this point only will a legally binding contract be concluded between you and us in Guernsey and under Guernsey law.
• In the event that your order is refused after payment is taken, the payment will be refunded in accordance with clause 11 below.
• Each separate supply of optical appliances to you shall constitute a separate contract between you and us subject to these terms. The fact that we may have previously accepted an order placed by you is not an indication that we will continue to accept orders in the future and we have no obligation to accept such future orders.
• In the event that an order placed pursuant to our Terms and Conditions is returned, any free gifts advertised on our website in connection with that order must also be returned together with the order and to the same return address (see clause 10 and 11).

• The prices you will pay for any products ordered through our website are listed on our website at the time you place your order, except in cases of error.
• For customers located in the UK & Northern Ireland the prices of products shown on the website are correct and displayed in full.
• For customers located outside of the UK & Northern Ireland, including customers from the European Community, the gross price will remain the same. However, the customer may be subject to import taxes, customs duties imposed by the destination country. These charges can vary and are based on the price and type of item, package weight and dimensions, origin country, and the taxes, duties, and fees of the destination country. Lenstore isn’t responsible for any additional charges that may apply after a purchase is completed.
• The prices shown on our website do not include postage costs. The postage costs for your order will be shown to you at the time you make that order.
• We may change the advertised prices of services and goods displayed on our website at any time without liability or notice. Such price changes will not affect orders which have already been confirmed (that is, orders in respect of which a binding contract has been formed). If the price changes after an order has been submitted, but before that order is accepted and dispatched, you may be charged the new price (i.e. the price after the change was made).
• Products advertised on our website, despite best efforts, may be incorrectly priced. As no contract is concluded between us and you until we have accepted your order, we are under no obligation to supply to you at an incorrect price. If we have advertised an incorrect price and you have placed an order based on that price, we may, at our absolute discretion, either contact you to notify you of the error and to ask whether you wish to continue with your order on the basis of the correct price, or reject your order and notify you that we are rejecting it. If you indicate to us in response that you wish to continue at the correct price, your new order at the correct price will be treated as an offer and processed in accordance with clause 5 above.
• You may be responsible for the payment and processing of any applicable import duties associated with orders made through our website. We will not be liable for any breaches of laws and regulations of the countries to which products are delivered.
• Payment for services and goods purchased from our website must be made through one of our chosen payment services providers, a list of which is to be found here:
  • Cyber Source
  • Secure Hosting
  • Sage Pay
  • PayPal
• In order to make a payment through one of these providers, you will need a credit, debit card or a PayPal account. From time to time, we may change the providers through whom we will accept payments. If we do so, we will update the list of providers accordingly.
• Your credit or debit card will be charged at the time that the order is placed, though, as detailed in clause 5 above, no contract is formed between you and us at this time. In the event that your order is refused for any reason after payment has been taken, a refund will be made in accordance with clause 11 below.

• Auto Reorder is an automated re-ordering service that allows you to create repeat orders on a delivery schedule chosen by you.

• We reserve the right to change the prices of our products, discounts and services at any time, without liability or notice. 
• All automatic orders will be dispatched via Royal Mail for UK delivery addresses and Royal Mail International for all non-UK delivery addresses.

• You can pause or change an order prior to its dispatch, or cancel the service at any time by visiting the Auto Reorder section of your account. Alternatively, you can call our Customer Service Team on 0800 010 6865 during working hours (Mon - Fri, 8am - 5pm). 
• Select promotional offers can be used in conjunction with the initial Auto Reorder discount but are limited to one discount per customer.
• Lenstore reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Auto Reorder subscription at any time, without notice, if it believes you are violating the Terms in any way.

• Delivery will be made to the “Delivery Address” specified when you placed your order. The Delivery Address is displayed on the “Confirm Order Details” page of our website. It is your responsibility to check and confirm that the Delivery Address is correct. Once confirmed you will receive an Order Confirmation e-mail from us. If the Delivery Address is not correct you assume responsibility for the error and we cannot be liable for any loss or damage caused by that incorrect Delivery Address.
• If no one is available to accept delivery, orders that have been sent via Royal Mail delivery services will be sent to your local Royal Mail sorting office. You must contact your local sorting office before calling us to check if your order has been delivered there. If your order was sent via Evri or City Sprint, you will be contacted to provide the details required for delivery (e.g. new delivery address, suitable delivery time). If you do not respond within a reasonable time-frame, the order will be returned to Lenstore.co.uk.
• We will endeavour to dispatch any products forming part of your order within the time frames laid out on our product pages and “Delivery & Postage” information page of our website. After five days have lapsed if your order has not arrived you must first check your local Royal Mail sorting office before calling us for a replacement order. If your order was sent via Evri or City Sprint (which may require a signature upon delivery) and has not arrived within the designated delivery time, we will be required to carry out a full investigation before determining whether a replacement order can be issued.
• We cannot guarantee that the products contained in your order will be in stock at all times and this may cause a delay in delivery. However, we will endeavour to deliver any products forming part of your order within a reasonable time.
• Delivery of orders sent by Royal Mail will be subject to a five day grace period during which no replacement orders will be sent out.
• We do not accept responsibility for delays or failures resulting from circumstances beyond our control, including, but not limited to, mechanical breakdowns, traffic delays and the weather.

• The products will be held at your risk from the time of delivery.

• Purchases from the Lenstore.co.uk website are subject to a period within which you have the right to cancel your contract with us and return any products that you have purchased, irrespective of whether those products are in any way defective or not in conformity with your order. The period runs for 7 working days from the day after the date of delivery of the products to you (where a working day is any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday celebrated in the Island of Guernsey).
• The cost of the products returned, but not the cost of postage and packaging, shall then be refunded to you in accordance with clause 11 below.

• You may return a product to us so long as it is in its original packaging, unopened and unmarked. We will examine the returned products and notify you via email or telephone whether they are in an acceptable condition for a refund to be granted. We will then process a refund of the costs of the products, but not the costs of postage and packaging for the delivery, in accordance with clause 11 below. The return of a product is at your own risk.
• In addition, if a product supplied by us is in any way faulty or does not conform to your order, including a note specifying the fault or difference from your order and whether you would prefer a replacement or a refund. We will examine the returned products, and if we are satisfied that they are in fact faulty or not in conformity with your order, we will provide, according to your choice, either (i) a replacement product, for which we will not charge additional postage and packaging; or (ii) a refund in accordance with clause 11 of the costs of the products and postage and packaging.
• If you are returning faulty lenses these must be returned for analysis in a lens case with some lens solution in order to receive a replacement or a refund in the event that they are in fact faulty.
• To organise a return, please visit our Refunds & returns page.

• Refund of monies will occur by the same method that was used to make the initial payment to us (e.g. via the same credit or debit card you used to purchase the services and goods from us).

24. eAftercare Trial

Participation in the eAftercare Trial is by invitation only. By taking part in the eAftercare Trial you are confirming that you comply with the suitability criteria:

• You are an existing contact lens customer at Lenstore.co.uk
• You are aged 18-40
• You have been prescribed, and currently wear, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day or Moist 1-Day spherical lenses (excluding monovision prescriptions for presbyopia) with powers between +6.00 and -10.00 on an 8.5 base curve
• You have had a sight test and contact lens check within the last 24 months
• You have:
  • Not been experiencing sudden decline in vision/light sensitivity/sudden increase in floaters/flashing lights in your vision
  • Not been experiencing sudden onset of eye pain or red eye
  • No history of serious eye infections or corneal ulcers
  • No issues reading or seeing close up

Participants understand and agree to continue with eAftercare participation based on the following:

• Participants consent to data being shared between our technology partners required for the eAftercare and Lenstore.
• Lenstore uses two 3rd party technology providers in eAftercare testing. Participants acknowledge that they will have to create an account with our visual acuity testing 3rd party partner and abide by the terms and conditions of that 3rd party to be able to use our eAftercare service. Participants will verbally share the results of the visual acuity test with the eAftercare optician. For eye health screening and contact lens fit analysis Lenstore utilizes a 3rd party service, acting as a data processor, to whom we can disclose participant data, including health data (for which the participant will be asked to give explicit consent), for the purposes of the eAftercare service.
• eAftercare is designed to replicate an in-practice contact lens aftercare but is not a replacement for an in-practice sight test or any other type of in-practice checks. Participants agree that they will continue to attend these appointments in-practice.
• It is not designed to detect all contact lens related eye health issues.
• If you have any concerns with your eye health, you agree to see your opticians or contact our partners Vision Express, as soon as possible.
• You will not be able to continue with the eAftercare process if, during the eAftercare, your visual acuity does not match your current prescription or eye health issues are detected. If this is the case, you will be referred to an in-practice appointment.
• If the eAftercare optician determines that you may wear an alternative contact lens, you will be sent 2x Dailies Total 1 30-packs to assess the suitability of these lenses for your eyes. You will be required to attend a follow up consultation to assess the fit of the lens on the eye and confirm the health of your eyes with the new lenses.
• Subsequent to the follow-up consultation, and only if suitable, the eAftercare optician will issue a Lenstore Specification that can be used to order only the specified lenses and only from Lenstore.co.uk. Lenstore will hold no responsibility should lenses be purchased elsewhere using the Lenstore Specification.

eAftercare Trial promotion terms:

• Participants will be sent 2x Dailies Total 1 30-packs free of charge only if a) the participants' visual acuity has not changed since their last in-practice contact lens prescription was issued, and b) no eye health issues were detected during the eAftercare testing. After the follow up consultation participants will be sent a 20% discount code to use against a future order at Lenstore.co.uk.
• If the eAftercare optician is not able to complete the eAftercare due to visual acuity changes or concerns about eye health, the participant will be sent a 20% discount code to use against a future order at Lenstore.co.uk.
