You agree that, by ordering any of our products from the Website, you will be bound by these Terms and Conditions of Purchase. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions of Purchase in their entirety, you must not order any Product through the Website.
1. General Provisions
1.1 These Terms and Conditions of Purchase are applicable to any purchases made online at the Website and supersede any representations made to you by any Specsavers retail outlet ("Specsavers Store").
1.2 By placing orders through the Website you are offering to contract with Specsavers.
1.3 The products and services offered on the Website may be supplied by Specsavers and/or its associated entities (collectively referred to as the "Specsavers Group").
2. Placing an order; acceptance of an order
2.1 The display of any product or promotion on the Website shall be construed as an advertisement or offer to treat and not as an offer by Specsavers. By submitting an on-line order for a product, you will be deemed to be making an offer to buy that product subject to these Terms and Conditions of Purchase. If your offer is accepted by Specsavers, this will result in a binding contract between you and Specsavers (“Contract”). Each Contract will incorporate these Terms and Conditions of Purchase.
2.2 When you have submitted your on-line order, you will receive an email from Specsavers acknowledging the receipt of your order and confirming the details of your order (including the full details of the Specsavers Store which you have nominated for aftercare) and your order number. Your offer to purchase a product is accepted by Specsavers when Specsavers processes payment for the order. You will receive e-mails confirming when the products have been paid for and when the products are dispatched. The Contract will relate only to those products whose dispatch has been confirmed in the email confirmation. Specsavers will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such products has been confirmed in a separate email confirmation.
2.3 Any coupon or voucher code must be applied prior to checkout for discount to be redeemed. Discounts cannot be refunded post purchase. Orders cannot be adjusted post purchase during sale period.
2.4 Payment will be processed after receipt of your order but prior to dispatch.
2.5 We have taken reasonable precautions to try to ensure that the prices quoted on the Website are correct and that all products have been fairly described. However, please note that Specsavers may not accept your offer if there is an error in any advertisement or representation made by Specsavers, including, but not limited to, any pricing error on the Website. In such event, you will be informed as soon as possible after receipt of your order and you will be given the option to cancel your order.
2.6 All products are subject to availability. As your order is processed, you will be informed by e-mail if any of the products ordered are not available or if there is a problem with your order.
2.7 If any products ordered are not available, Specsavers may offer you substitute products of equivalent quality and price. If Specsavers is unable to offer substitutes or you do not agree to accept such substitute, Specsavers will reimburse your payment within 10 days of the date Specsavers receives your order.
