We offer a large selection of contact lenses, glasses, and related products, along with a wealth of information designed to help consumers make educated purchasing decisions. We want each visitor to the Site ("you") (i.e. any natural person acting on the Site with purposes having no relationship to his/her commercial or professional activity) to have a safe, pleasurable visit, so we have established the following general terms and conditions so that we (we and you) know what to expect from each other.

These general terms and conditions (which include the returns policy, intellectual property policy and privacy policy) are applicable to any use of the Site and to any agreements concluded between you and us through the Site. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you cannot use this Site and/or buy any products or services through this Site. We may make changes to the Site, these Terms and Conditions of Use, or the policies and conditions that govern the use of the Site at any time. We encourage you to review the Site and the General Terms and Conditions periodically for any updates or changes. Your continued access or use of the Site shall be deemed to be your acceptance of these changes and of the reasonableness of these standards for notice of changes.

In consideration of your use of the Site, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the checkout form for your account information (the "Account Information") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Account Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current and future use of the Site. Account Information and certain other information about you are subject to our Privacy Policy. Please review our privacy policy to understand our privacy related practices.

You are prohibited from posting on or transmitting through the Site any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, fraudulent, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law.

You agree not to access the Site by any means other than through the interface that is provided by us for use in accessing the Site.

You hereby certify that you have a valid prescription for the contact lenses or eyeglasses that you are ordering. You represent and warrant to Clearly by placing an order that your information you enter into the Site is valid and true and matches exactly your prescription as provided by your eye care provider. You further certify that you will renew your prescription in strict accordance with your eye care providers suggested regime. You understand that we will not fulfill your order unless you have a valid prescription. You hereby consent to our contacting your eye care provider, or providing a copy of your original prescription to us, if necessary, to verify your prescription information and any other necessary information.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors of our products that appear at the Site. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color 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.

Deliveries will be as soon as possible to the address on your order and are "best effort" based. Subject to delays outside our control, the overall delivery period will not exceed 30 days.

From time to time, we will send samples of product, including, but not limited to, contact lens solutions.

We offer a 30 day return policy on prescription glasses and sunglasses, and a 30 day return policy on contact lenses, as well as a 365 day warranty on eyewear, from your delivery date. We provide free returns on our products during these time periods. Frames that are Last Chance, Clearance, or Final Sale are exempt and not eligible for a refund, exchange, or store credit. To make a return, simply call us within the stated days for a complimentary electronic shipping label that you can print off. Once you have the label, we ask that you ship your glasses back to us as soon as possible to initiate your refund.

Looking for an exchange? We want to help you find your perfect pair of glasses. Our Customer Service Representatives can walk you through finding the best fit, style, and prescription correction.

Glasses and sunglasses must be returned in their original unused and unworn condition. Contact lenses must be returned in unopened, unmarked boxes and must be within 6 months of their expiry date. Returns or exchanges may be denied, in very rare circumstances, based on the nature of prior transactions.

All service credits are issued to your MyAccount and will be valid for 3 months from the date of issue, unless otherwise stated. To use the credit, ensure you are logged into your MyAccount prior to placing your order. Your credit will automatically be deducted from your total at checkout. Credits must be used in that time on our website and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash.

We guarantee the quality of our frames, glasses lenses, and coatings. If you experience a manufacturing defect within 365 days of delivery, simply contact our Customer Service Representatives for a free return label to facilitate a replacement or exchange. Our warranty does not cover the damage caused by the wear and tear of everyday use, or the damaged caused by sudden force or impact.

Shipping and Payment

Glasses

Production times for prescription lenses vary in business days depending on the intricacy of the prescription and the type of lens required. Once your lenses have been crafted and mounted into the frame, they will be shipped to you using your chosen shipping method.

Contact lenses

Your wait time depends on your lens type. Some products are in stock, and others — including toric/astigmatism, RGP, and multifocal lenses — are custom orders through the manufacturer. Once your contact lenses are in stock, they should be shipped within 1-2 days and will arrive within the time estimate provided by your chosen shipping method.

When your order ships, you will be sent an email confirmation that includes a tracking number and instructions for how to track your order online.

Please keep in mind that quality assurance technicians inspect and verify each and every eyeglass order. If your eyeglasses happen to fail quality assurance, your expected delivery time will be delayed. You will be kept up-to-date of any delays via email.
