We endeavour to display through this website all items in our current range. We aim to hold stock of all styles and sizes whilst a product is active. Sometimes errors do occur in our stock inventory or other customers order just before you. We reserve the right to cancel any order without notice which are subject to stock issues. In the event that an item is temporarily out of stock, we will endeavour to notify you as soon as possible. We cannot be liable or responsible for any loss occurring because your items are not in stock.

We will make every effort to deliver your order within the time estimate, however all dates quoted are estimates only and delivery within the time quoted cannot be guaranteed and may be subject to change. All estimates are given in working days unless otherwise stated. We will not be liable for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) caused to you by late delivery over the estimate provided. All orders received before 4pm will, subject to availability, be despatched on the following working day for a 7 working day delivery. Those orders received after 4pm will, subject to availability, be despatched on the second working day following receipt.

It is the buyer's responsibility to notify us if the goods have not been received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date or receipt of our invoice. If no notification is made within this time period the buyer shall be deemed to have received the goods.

If an item is returned to us uncollected and has to be reshipped, the customer will have to be charged for postage again.

Our products are packaged to ensure they arrive to you in good condition. However very occasionally items will arrive damaged or with defects. If this does occur then please see the returns section for details on how to return your item.

DUTY/IMPORT/GENERAL SALE TAX ON INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

There may be taxes and fees or other charges that you may be liable for. Please check with your local customs office before the order is placed as these charges vary from country to country and we do not have a control over these charges.

If local import and custom charges are refused or not paid by you, then the item could be returned to us or possibly even destroyed. If your order is not returned to us we may not be able to refund you for your order. We would not be able to refund any original postage costs paid and can only refund for the returned products minus any costs incurred in returning them to us.

CONFORMITY OF GOODS

A description of the goods is set out on our website. Whilst we will attempt to ensure that there are no changes to the goods to be supplied, it is possible that there may be some minor variations to the description and/or specification of the goods which arise by virtue of changes made by the manufacturers of the parts supplied which form part of the goods. If an order is placed and during the customisation process the original frame colour is no longer available from our suppliers, we shall glaze the lenses into a frame colour that is similar to the original.

PRESCRIPTIONS

When ordering, you must provide us with details of the relevant prescription that is to be applied to the goods. All prescriptions provided to us must have been given to you by a Registered Medical Practitioner or Registered Ophthalmic Optician following an eye examination by them within the last 2 years.

We will rely upon the prescription provided by you and the goods provided will contain lenses matching the prescription that you submitted.

If you are unsure of the relevant prescription to be applied to the goods, please consult a Registered Medical Practitioner or Registered Ophthalmic Optician before placing an order.

Unless you state otherwise, we use an appropriate average Pupillary Distance 'PD' to complete your order. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, and unless you state otherwise, you will be agreeing to let us use an average PD of 63mm. Blue Green Ltd recommend that you consult your Optician to obtain your PD before ordering, and provide that measurement to us when ordering.

The lenses we use in prescriptions are not the brand lenses but our own ophthalmic lenses and therefore will not have the brand logo on.

You must be over the age of 16 to order from Blue Green Ltd and you must not be registered blind, or partially sighted, or ordering on behalf of someone under 16 years of age.

We do not supply spectacles with single vision lenses of a spherical power greater than +9.50 and -9.50 (dioptres) and a cylindrical power greater than +4.00 and -4.00 (dioptres) - please do not request us to do this.

In exceptional circumstances certain prescription and frame combinations may incur an extra charge to be able to be glazed. We will notify you of this before we glaze your frames.
