To establish clear expectations, we have outlined the following general terms and conditions for both parties (Onlinelenses and you).

These general terms and conditions, including the returns policy, intellectual property policy, and privacy policy, govern any use of Onlinelenses.ca and any agreements made between you and us through the website. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, your use of this site and the purchase of any products or services through it are not permitted.

Your Conduct

Any conduct on your part that, in our sole discretion, hinders or restricts another user from using or enjoying the Onlinelenses.ca website will not be tolerated. You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes. Prohibited actions include posting or transmitting through the site any material that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, fraudulent, racially or ethnically objectionable, or otherwise violates any applicable law.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any part of the Site for commercial purposes without our express written consent. Access to the Site should only occur through the interface provided by us.

Valid Prescription Requirement

By placing an order, you certify that you possess a valid prescription for the contact lenses or eyeglasses being ordered. You affirm that the information you enter on the Site is valid, true, and exactly matches your prescription from your eye care provider. Additionally, you commit to renewing your prescription according to your eye care provider’s suggested schedule. We will not fulfill your order without a valid prescription and may contact your eye care provider or request a copy of your prescription to verify the necessary information.

Color and Product Description

We strive to accurately display the colors of our products on the Onlinelenses.ca website. However, due to variations in monitor settings, we cannot guarantee the precise accuracy of color representation. While we aim for accuracy, we do not warrant that product descriptions are error-free, complete, current, or reliable. If a product received from the site does not match its description, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition.

Delivery

We strive to deliver your orders as promptly as possible to the specified address, making our “best effort” to ensure a timely delivery. The overall delivery period, barring unforeseen delays beyond our control, will not exceed 30 days.

Occasionally, we may send product samples, including but not limited to contact lens solutions.

Returns & Exchanges

We offer a 30-day return policy for prescription glasses and sunglasses, as well as a 30-day return policy for contact lenses, complemented by a 365-day warranty on eyewear from the date of delivery. During these periods, returns are free of charge. However, frames labeled as Last Chance, Clearance, or Final Sale are exempt and ineligible for refunds, exchanges, or store credit. To initiate a return, contact us within the specified days to receive a complimentary electronic shipping label. After obtaining the label, promptly send your glasses back to us for a refund.

In search of an exchange? Our Customer Service Representatives can assist you in finding the ideal pair of glasses, guiding you through the selection process for fit, style, and prescription correction.

Prescription glasses and sunglasses must be returned in their original, unused, and unworn condition. Contact lenses must be returned in unopened, unmarked boxes within 6 months of their expiry date. In rare circumstances, returns or exchanges may be denied based on prior transaction history.

Service Credits

Service credits are issued to your MyAccount and remain valid for three months from the date of issuance, unless otherwise specified. To utilize the credit, log into your MyAccount before placing an order, and the credit will automatically be deducted from your total at checkout. Credits must be utilized within the stipulated timeframe on our website and are non-exchangeable or refundable for cash.

Warranty

We stand behind the quality of our frames, glasses lenses, and coatings. If you encounter a manufacturing defect within 365 days of delivery, contact our Customer Service Representatives for a free return label to facilitate a replacement or exchange. However, our warranty does not cover damage resulting from everyday wear and tear or damage caused by sudden force or impact.

Eyeglasses Policy

Shipping and Payment

Glasses

The production times for prescription lenses vary in business days, depending on the complexity of the prescription and the lens type. Once your lenses are crafted and fitted into the frame, they will be shipped to you using your selected shipping method.

Contact Lenses

The wait time for contact lenses depends on the lens type. Some products are in stock, while others, such as 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 estimated time provided by your chosen shipping method.

Upon shipping your order, you will receive an email confirmation containing a tracking number and instructions on how to track your order online.

Please note that each eyeglass order undergoes inspection by quality assurance technicians. If your eyeglasses fail quality assurance, it may lead to a delay in the expected delivery time. You will be notified of any delays via email.

For FAQs on shipments, please visit our FAQ page.

When using a coupon code, please be aware that only one coupon code can be used per order. We accept payments through Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or PayPal. Payments can be made online or by phone. Note that the title, risk, and rewards of ownership of the product transfer from Onlinelenses to the customer at the point of shipment.

Prescription

When you receive a fitting for eyeglasses from your Eye Care Practitioner, ensure you obtain a paper copy of your prescription. Remember that spectacle and contact lens prescriptions may differ, so ensure you order the correct parameters for your glasses, not your contact lenses.
