  1. Selecting Your Frames. We sell eyeglasses and sunglasses with either prescription or non-prescription lenses. To learn more about the lenses we offer, you can visit the Lenses section of our Site. To order frames/glasses and sunglasses, select your desired frame/pair of glasses and sunglasses and click the “Add to Cart” button to add it to your order. As part of the checkout process, you will have the option to add prescription lenses to your order if you have a valid prescription and scan.When you check out, you will have the option of choosing between prescription and non-prescription lenses.

  2. 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 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. 

  3. Your Prescription. If you are purchasing prescription eyewear, you hereby certify that you have a valid prescription for the contact lenses or eyeglasses that you are ordering. You represent and guarantee 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 licensed eye care provider. You understand that we will not fulfill your order unless you have a valid prescription. If your prescription information is incomplete, we may need to take additional measures to track down current information and hereby consent to our contacting you or your eye care provider, which could mean you have to wait longer for your glasses.

  4. Delivery Times. Production times for prescription lenses vary in business days depending on 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. Wait time for contact lenses depends on your lens type. Some products are in stock, and others are custom orders through the manufacturer. Once your contact lenses are in stock, they will be shipped to you using your chosen shipping method. Quality assurance technicians inspect and verify each and every eyewear order. If your eyeglasses happen to fail quality assurance, your expected delivery time will be delayed. We will inform you of any such delays and provide you with up-to-date information on your order. 

  5. Delivery Information. We’ll need your name, address, and telephone number to complete your order and send you your purchase. Deliveries will be completed as soon as possible and are “effort” based. 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. Subject to delays outside our control, the overall delivery period will not exceed [30]

  6. Payment Information. After you have made your eyewear selections and provided your prescription and shipping information, you will see a prompt for your payment details, such as your credit card information and any promotional codes or gift cards you may have. By entering your payment information and submitting your order, you authorize us and our third party payment processors to charge the amount of the order to your selected payment method. We currently accept the following forms of payment: Visa and Mastercard. If using a discount code, please note that only one discount code can be used per order.

  7. Checking Order Status. We know how exciting it can be to get a delivery, so once your eyewear is on its way to you, we’ll send you an email confirmation with tracking information.

  8. Changing or Cancelling an Order. Our team works hard to process orders quickly so that you don’t have to wait. However, this means that although we will try our best to accommodate order modifications, we cannot guarantee them. You may cancel your order without stating any reason for doing so, such within 24 hours following the confirmation of your order. To change or cancel an order, follow the instructions detailed in our Return Policy section on greiche-scaff.com ■.
