Should for any reason the products you have ordered become lost or damaged in transit, we shall, at our sole discretion, either replace the goods or reimburse you for all amounts received.
Although we welcome orders outside of the UK, our ByOcular 'try at home' service is currently not available outside of the UK.  Deliveries outside of the UK are subject to an additional shipping charge, which will be confirmed at the time of ordering.
Any products to be returned from outside of the UK shall be at your own cost.
Refunds on orders from outside of the UK will not include the outbound shipping cost. 
For bespoke orders a 30-day full refund will only be issued if there is a fault with the product. If a refund is given for any other reason it will be issued, minus the cost of the lenses. 

 

 

• We offer a 7-day Home Trial service (‘Home Trial’) to enable you to check the look and feel of different frames (without lenses) before deciding which frame(s) to buy. We may charge a fee (‘Home Trial Fee’) for this service, should the frames not be returned within the timescales specified in point 2 below.
• By submitting your request for a Home Trial (Home Trial Order) and in consideration for our acceptance of the order, you are agreeing that if you do not return the frames sent to you in the Home Trial, within 7 calendar days following receipt by you (which for these purposes will mean 8 days following despatch to you) then you will have placed a Frame Order to buy the frames.
• If you place a Frame Order as described above we may accept it and if so you will be charged the full price of the frames (less any Home Trial Fee already paid which will be given as a discount). The price of the frames will be the advertised price of the frames at the time you placed your Home Trial Order. To take payment, we will attempt to use the same payment card you used at the time of placing your Home Trial Order and your agreement of these Terms and Conditions is your authority for us to do so.
• Once payment is successfully made you then own the frames. You then have the same right of return as if you had made any other purchase of goods (see Returns Policy). Alternatively, for up to 14 days from the date you order the frames you may return one or more of your frames to us in order to have basic lenses fitted, free of charge, providing that we have already received payment for the frame(s).
• Any Order (excluding a Home Trial Order) placed by you with ByOcular within 15 days of you placing a Home Trial Order will benefit from a discount equal to the Home Trial Fee.
• The Home Trial service is available to UK residents only and is not offered to any addresses outside the UK.
