  • Secure;

  • Error-free;

  • Compatible with every device; or

  • Free of harmful components.

Use of Personal Information is addressed in the Home Optical Privacy Policy.

Health information may also be governed by a separate Notice of Privacy Practices issued by Home Optical, an optometrist, a tele-optometry provider, or another healthcare provider.

18. Call Monitoring and Recording

Home Optical may monitor or record a telephone call only when:

  • Appropriate notice is provided;

PART III — TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND SERVICE

19. Product and Service Information

Descriptions, samples, estimates, measurements, demonstrations, photographs, and recommendations are intended to help you make a purchase decision.

Because eyewear is affected by individual anatomy, prescription, use, and preference:

  • A frame that looks suitable in a photograph may fit differently in person;

  • Colors may vary;

  • Materials may feel different than expected;

  • Frame measurements do not guarantee identical fit;

  • Lens thickness depends on prescription, frame, material, design, and measurements;

  • Progressive lenses require adaptation and proper positioning;

  • Coatings and lens materials have different benefits and limitations;

  • No lens is completely scratch-proof;

  • No frame is indestructible;

  • “Blue-light,” anti-reflective, photochromic, polarized, tint, and similar features have limitations; and

  • A recommendation is not a guarantee of personal preference or adaptation.

You are responsible for asking questions before approving an order.

20. Prescription Requirements

Prescription eyewear and contact lenses require a valid prescription as required by applicable law.

You agree to provide:

  • A complete and legible prescription;

  • The patient’s correct name;

  • The prescribing provider’s information;

  • The examination or issue date;

  • The expiration date, when applicable;

  • Lens or contact-lens information;

  • Any special instructions;

  • Accurate measurements when you are responsible for supplying them; and

  • Any authorization reasonably needed to verify the prescription.

You represent that a submitted prescription:

  • Was lawfully issued by an authorized prescriber;

  • Belongs to the intended wearer;

  • Has not been altered;

  • Is not fraudulent;

  • Has not expired;

  • Is complete; and

  • May lawfully be filled.

Home Optical may contact the prescribing provider to:

  • Verify authenticity;

  • Clarify handwriting or information;

  • Confirm expiration;

  • Resolve an inconsistency;

  • Confirm contact-lens information; or

  • Obtain other information needed to fill the order lawfully.

Home Optical may decline or delay an order when a prescription is:

  • Expired;

  • Incomplete;

  • Illegible;

  • Internally inconsistent;

  • Suspected of alteration;

  • Outside Home Optical’s lawful scope;

  • Unsuitable for the requested Product;

  • Missing required measurements;

  • Not verified when verification is legally required; or

  • Otherwise unable to be filled safely or legally.

Home Optical will not intentionally alter a prescription.

A spectacle prescription and a contact-lens prescription are not interchangeable.

21. Pupillary Distance and Other Measurements

Prescription eyewear may require measurements such as:

  • Pupillary distance;

  • Monocular pupillary distance;

  • Segment height;

  • Optical-center height;

  • Vertex distance;

  • Pantoscopic tilt;

  • Face-form angle;

  • Frame dimensions; or

  • Other fitting information.

Measurements may be taken by Home Optical when appropriate and permitted.

When you provide your own measurement, you are responsible for its accuracy.

Home Optical may not be responsible for remake costs caused by:

  • An inaccurate customer-supplied measurement;

  • Measurements taken by an unauthorized third party;

  • A changed frame selection after measurements were taken;

  • A prescription change after the order was approved; or

  • Inability to perform an in-person fitting because you declined or were unavailable.

Home Optical may require an in-person or mobile fitting before accepting certain prescriptions, frames, or lens designs.

22. Prescription Release and Copies

When Home Optical is acting only as an optical retailer or dispenser, the prescribing healthcare provider is generally responsible for issuing and releasing the prescription.

Home Optical may assist you in requesting a copy but cannot guarantee how quickly an independent provider will respond.

Where Home Optical or an associated provider is legally responsible for releasing a prescription, the prescription will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the provider’s policies.

A prescription copy does not necessarily include:

  • Measurements taken solely for manufacturing or fitting;

  • Proprietary laboratory calculations;

  • Internal work tickets;

  • Insurance claim records;

  • Clinical notes not included within the prescription; or

  • Information that applicable law does not require to be placed on the prescription.

Nothing in these Terms requires you to purchase eyewear from Home Optical as a condition of receiving a prescription when such a condition would violate applicable law.

23. Eye Examinations and Tele-Optometry

An eye examination may involve a licensed provider located remotely and technology that transmits information for professional review.

By participating in tele-optometry, you understand that:

  • The provider may not be physically present;

  • Electronic equipment and communications will be used;

  • Technology may fail or produce incomplete data;

  • The provider may require additional testing;

  • The provider may decline to issue a prescription;

  • The provider may recommend an in-person examination;

  • Tele-optometry is not appropriate for every patient or condition;

  • The quality of the examination may depend on patient cooperation and equipment performance;

  • A technical failure may require rescheduling;

  • Separate telehealth consent may be required;

  • The patient may need to be physically located in a jurisdiction where the provider is authorized to practice; and

  • The provider is responsible for clinical decisions.

Payment for an examination does not guarantee:

  • A particular prescription;

  • A particular diagnosis;

  • Insurance payment;

  • Eligibility for contact lenses;

  • Clearance for driving, employment, or another purpose;

  • That every eye condition will be detected; or

  • That no further examination will be recommended.

An examination intended primarily for refraction or eyewear may not replace a comprehensive medical eye examination when one is medically indicated.

24. Placing an Order

An order submitted to Home Optical is an offer to purchase Products or Services.

Home Optical may accept or reject an order.

An order is not necessarily accepted merely because:

  • You submitted information;

  • You received an automated message;

  • A payment authorization was obtained;

  • Insurance eligibility was checked; or

  • A preliminary estimate was issued.

Acceptance generally occurs when Home Optical:

  • Confirms the order;

  • Accepts payment or a deposit;

  • Submits a Custom Product for production;

  • Delivers the Product;

  • Performs the Service; or

  • Otherwise communicates acceptance.

Home Optical may decline or cancel an order because of:

  • Product unavailability;

  • Prescription problems;

  • Measurement concerns;

  • Pricing errors;

  • Suspected fraud;

  • Unauthorized payment;

  • Insurance problems;

  • Safety concerns;

  • Service-area limitations;

  • Legal restrictions;

  • Manufacturer or laboratory limitations;

  • Inability to contact you;

  • Inaccurate information; or

  • Another reasonable business or professional concern.

If Home Optical cancels an accepted order without providing the Product or Service, Home Optical will issue any refund required by applicable law, subject to charges for Products or Services already lawfully provided.

25. Order Review and Customer Approval

Before approving an order, review:

  • Patient name;

  • Prescription;

  • Frame;

  • Frame color;

  • Frame size;

  • Lens design;

  • Lens material;

  • Lens coatings;

  • Tint;

  • Contact-lens brand and parameters;

  • Measurements;

  • Price;

  • Insurance allowance;

  • Copayment;

  • Deposit;

  • Expected balance;

  • Pickup or delivery method; and

  • Any special instructions.

You must notify Home Optical immediately if information appears incorrect.

Once a Custom Product has entered production, changes may require:

  • A new order;

  • Additional payment;

  • A laboratory charge;

  • A restocking charge;

  • Loss of a deposit; or

  • Payment of costs already incurred.

Home Optical is not obligated to absorb costs caused by information you approved when the approved information was accurately used.

26. Prices and Pricing Errors

Prices are displayed or quoted in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

Prices may change without notice before an order is accepted.

The total price may include:

  • Frames;

  • Lenses;

  • Coatings;

  • Tints;

  • Add-ons;

  • Examination charges;

  • Mobile-service fees;

  • Travel fees;

  • Delivery;

  • Repairs;

  • Taxes;

  • Insurance adjustments;

  • Copayments;

  • Deductibles;

  • Noncovered services; and

  • Other disclosed charges.

A typographical, system, insurance, or pricing error does not require Home Optical to sell a Product at an obviously incorrect price.

When a pricing error is discovered, Home Optical may:

  • Correct the price;

  • Request approval;

  • Offer an alternative;

  • Cancel the affected item; or

  • Refund the affected payment.

Home Optical will not increase an accepted order price without explanation, except when:

  • You request a change;

  • The prescription changes;

  • Insurance information changes;

  • A quoted benefit is denied;

  • Additional work is authorized;

  • Taxes or legally required charges change; or

  • The original price resulted from an error that could not reasonably be honored.

27. Payment and Deposits

Payment may be required:

  • At the time of order;

  • Before an examination;

  • Before a mobile visit;

  • Before production begins;

  • At pickup;

  • Before delivery; or

  • According to another written arrangement.

Custom Products may require a deposit or full payment before Home Optical submits the order to a laboratory, manufacturer, or supplier.

A deposit is applied to the purchase price.

Once production or special ordering begins, some or all of the deposit may become nonrefundable to the extent permitted by law because Home Optical may have incurred:

  • Laboratory charges;

  • Manufacturer charges;

  • Shipping charges;

  • Professional time;

  • Custom-material costs;

  • Insurance reversals;

  • Processing charges; or

  • Other nonrecoverable expenses.

Home Optical will disclose material deposit and cancellation terms on the estimate, order form, receipt, or other transaction document.

You authorize Home Optical and its payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for:

  • Approved purchases;

  • Approved deposits;

  • Remaining balances;

  • Authorized changes;

  • Shipping;

  • Applicable taxes;

  • Approved cancellation or no-show fees; and

  • Other disclosed charges.

You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method.

28. Flexible Spending and Health Savings Accounts

Home Optical may accept certain flexible spending account or health savings account payment cards.

Acceptance of the card does not guarantee that a Product or Service is eligible under your plan or tax rules.

You are responsible for:

  • Confirming eligibility;

  • Retaining receipts;

  • Submitting documentation;

  • Responding to plan requests; and

  • Any taxes, penalties, or repayment resulting from an ineligible purchase.

Home Optical does not provide tax advice.

29. Insurance and Vision Benefits

Insurance and vision benefits are agreements between you, the subscriber, the insurer, the benefit plan, and any applicable administrator.

Home Optical may assist with:

  • Eligibility verification;

  • Benefit estimates;

  • Authorizations;

  • Claim submission;

  • Claim correction;

  • Coordination of benefits; and

  • Explanation of available options.

Any statement concerning benefits is an estimate, not a guarantee of payment.

An insurer may later:

  • Deny a claim;

  • Reduce payment;

  • determine that a Product is not covered;

  • Apply a deductible;

  • Apply a frequency limitation;

  • Reject an authorization;

  • Reverse a previously quoted benefit;

  • Require additional documentation;

  • Treat a provider as out of network; or

  • Decide that a Service was not medically necessary or eligible.

You remain responsible for:

  • Copayments;

  • Deductibles;

  • Coinsurance;

  • Noncovered Products or Services;

  • Charges exceeding an allowance;

  • Denied claims;

  • Incorrect insurance information;

  • Benefits already used elsewhere;

  • Coordination-of-benefits problems;

  • Coverage termination;

  • Claim reversals; and

  • Other amounts not paid by the plan.

By asking Home Optical to submit a claim, you authorize Home Optical to provide the information reasonably necessary to process the claim.

Where applicable, a separate assignment-of-benefits or payment authorization may be required.

If an insurer pays you directly for a Product or Service supplied by Home Optical, you remain responsible for paying Home Optical.

Insurance limitations do not change Home Optical’s standard retail price unless required by a provider agreement or applicable law.

30. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Contact Home Optical promptly if you believe a charge is incorrect.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising a lawful payment-card dispute right.

However, submitting a false, misleading, or fraudulent chargeback may result in:

  • Suspension of future services;

  • Cancellation of pending orders;

  • Collection activity;

  • Submission of relevant transaction records to the payment processor;

  • Recovery of amounts lawfully owed; and

  • Other remedies permitted by law.

A chargeback does not automatically cancel an insurance claim, laboratory obligation, custom order, or remaining lawful balance.

31. Appointment Scheduling

An appointment request is not confirmed until Home Optical or the applicable provider confirms it.

You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate contact information;

  • Arriving on time;

  • Bringing required identification;

  • Bringing insurance information;

  • Bringing current eyewear;

  • Providing prescription information;

  • Bringing a parent, guardian, or representative when required;

  • Completing required forms;

  • Following preparation instructions; and

  • Notifying Home Optical of accessibility or language needs.

Home Optical may reschedule or cancel an appointment because of:

  • Provider unavailability;

  • Equipment failure;

  • Internet or power failure;

  • Weather;

  • Illness;

  • Safety concerns;

  • Incomplete information;

  • Insurance problems;

  • Location problems;

  • Emergencies;

  • Delays outside our control; or

  • Another operational or professional reason.

When practicable, Home Optical will attempt to notify you using the contact information provided.

32. Late Arrivals, Cancellations, and Missed Appointments

Late arrival may reduce the time available or require rescheduling.

Home Optical may establish reasonable:

  • Appointment deposits;

  • Cancellation deadlines;

  • Late-cancellation fees;

  • No-show fees;

  • Mobile travel fees;

  • Setup fees; and

  • Rescheduling requirements.

Any fee must be disclosed during booking, in an appointment confirmation, or in another written or electronic notice.

Unless a different policy is disclosed for a particular appointment:

  • Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice when canceling or rescheduling;

  • Repeated missed appointments may result in advance-payment requirements;

  • A no-show fee does not purchase a future Service;

  • A provider may waive a fee in appropriate circumstances; and

  • Fees remain subject to applicable law and contractual restrictions.

Home Optical may make reasonable exceptions for emergencies at its discretion.

33. Mobile Optical Visits

Mobile visits may be offered at:

  • Homes;

  • Workplaces;

  • Offices;

  • Residential communities;

  • Assisted-living settings;

  • Community organizations;

  • Events;

  • Hotels;

  • Facilities; or

  • Other approved locations.

Mobile service is subject to availability, service area, staffing, provider authorization, equipment requirements, and safety.

By requesting a mobile visit, you agree to provide:

  • An accurate address;

  • A working telephone number;

  • Entry instructions;

  • Parking information;

  • Building or security requirements;

  • A reasonably clean and safe service area;

  • Sufficient lighting;

  • Reasonable space for equipment;

  • Access to electricity or internet when disclosed as necessary;

  • Information about stairs, elevators, pets, hazards, or accessibility restrictions;

  • Permission from the property owner, employer, facility, or host when required; and

  • A responsible adult for a minor or person who cannot legally consent.

Home Optical may decline, stop, or reschedule a mobile visit when:

  • The location is unsafe;

  • A person acts abusively or threateningly;

  • Pets are unsecured;

  • Illegal activity is present;

  • Equipment cannot be used safely;

  • The location is excessively public for the requested service;

  • Required electricity, internet, space, or access is unavailable;

  • The patient is not present;

  • Identity cannot be verified;

  • Required consent is unavailable;

  • The provider determines the Service is inappropriate;

  • Weather or travel conditions are unsafe; or

  • Another condition materially interferes with lawful or safe service.

Travel and setup charges

Mobile-service, travel, parking, toll, or setup charges may apply and will be disclosed before the visit when reasonably practicable.

A travel or setup fee may be nonrefundable after Home Optical has traveled to the location or incurred the related expense, except where law requires otherwise.

Privacy at mobile locations

Home Optical will take reasonable privacy precautions. You acknowledge that Home Optical cannot completely control:

  • Other occupants;

  • Coworkers;

  • Facility staff;

  • Visitors;

  • Public spaces;

  • Noise;

  • Cameras controlled by the property;

  • Building access; or

  • Other environmental conditions.

You are responsible for requesting a reasonably private area and identifying who may participate in the visit.

Home Optical will not intentionally disclose confidential health or prescription information to an employer, host, facility, or other unauthorized person.

34. Statutory Cancellation Rights for Certain Off-Premises Sales

Some transactions completed at a customer’s home or another off-premises location may be subject to federal or state home-solicitation or cooling-off laws.

Nothing in these Terms waives or limits a cancellation right that cannot legally be waived.

When a transaction qualifies for a statutory cancellation right:

  • Home Optical will provide any separate written agreement or cancellation notice required by law;

  • The separate notice will state the applicable deadline and cancellation method;

  • The separate statutory notice controls over any conflicting Custom Product or cancellation provision in these Terms; and

  • Home Optical will process a timely and valid cancellation as required by applicable law.

The existence of mobile service does not mean that every mobile transaction automatically qualifies for a statutory cancellation period. Eligibility depends on the circumstances and applicable law.

A customer exercising a statutory cancellation right must follow the instructions in the cancellation notice.

35. Order Cancellation

Contact Home Optical immediately to request cancellation.

Before production begins

If Home Optical can stop the order before a laboratory, manufacturer, supplier, provider, or other third party begins work, Home Optical may cancel the order and refund the amount paid, less any separately disclosed and lawfully nonrefundable charge.

After production or special ordering begins

Once a Custom Product has entered production or a special-order item has been ordered, cancellation may not be possible.

If cancellation is possible, the refund may be reduced by actual or reasonably allocated costs already incurred, subject to applicable law.

Completed services

Charges for examinations, measurements, adjustments, repairs, travel, fitting, consultation, delivery, and other Services already performed are generally not refundable merely because you later decide not to purchase or use another Product or Service.

Statutory rights

This section does not override any nonwaivable cancellation or refund right.

36. Custom Products and Final-Sale Items

Custom Products are prepared for an individual customer and may have little or no resale value.

Except where otherwise required by law or covered by a written remake, warranty, or satisfaction policy, Custom Products are generally not returnable solely because:

  • You changed your mind;

  • You no longer like the style;

  • You selected the wrong color;

  • You later found a lower price;

  • Another person dislikes the appearance;

  • You did not anticipate lens thickness;

  • You did not adapt immediately to a properly made lens;

  • Your prescription later changed;

  • You supplied incorrect information;

  • You did not follow fitting instructions; or

  • The Product was made according to the approved order.

Other items that may be final sale include:

  • Clearance merchandise;

  • Personalized products;

  • Special-order frames;

  • Opened contact lenses;

  • Opened hygiene-sensitive products;

  • Products damaged after delivery;

  • Used accessories;

  • Products altered by another business; and

  • Items clearly marked “Final Sale.”

This section does not eliminate remedies for a verified defect, fabrication error, misdescription, or other right provided by law.

37. Noncustom Returns

Unless a different written policy is provided at purchase, an unused, noncustom retail item may be considered for return within 14 calendar days after delivery or pickup when:

  • The original receipt is provided;

  • The Product is unused;

  • The Product is undamaged;

  • Packaging is complete;

  • Tags and accessories are present;

  • The item is in resalable condition; and

  • The item was not marked Final Sale.

Home Optical may deny a return when the item:

  • Has been worn;

  • Has been altered;

  • Is scratched or damaged;

  • Is missing packaging or parts;

  • Is contaminated;

  • Is hygiene-sensitive and opened;

  • Was specially ordered;

  • Was paid through benefits that cannot be reversed;

  • Was supplied by a third party with stricter return rules; or

  • Is otherwise excluded under these Terms.

Refunds will ordinarily be issued to the original payment method.

Cash refunds, card refunds, insurance reversals, and benefit restorations may require different processing times.

38. Contact-Lens Returns

Contact lenses are regulated medical devices and require a valid contact-lens prescription.

Opened boxes, trial lenses, individually opened lenses, and damaged packaging are generally not returnable.

Unopened, unexpired, unmarked boxes may be eligible for return or exchange when:

  • The boxes were supplied by Home Optical;

  • The request is made promptly;

  • The manufacturer accepts the return;

  • The prescription and insurance transaction can be appropriately reversed;

  • The boxes are in resalable condition; and

  • The return is otherwise permitted by law and the applicable supplier policy.

Manufacturer restocking, shipping, insurance, or processing charges may apply when disclosed and permitted.

Home Optical does not guarantee that a manufacturer or insurer will accept returned contact lenses.

39. Inspection at Pickup or Delivery

You should inspect Products promptly.

At pickup, you may be asked to:

  • Verify the frame;

  • Verify the lens type;

  • Try on the eyewear;

  • Confirm basic fit;

  • Receive adjustment instructions;

  • Review care instructions; and

  • Sign for receipt.

Notify Home Optical promptly if you believe:

  • The wrong Product was delivered;

  • A Product is visibly damaged;

  • The prescription appears incorrect;

  • A part is missing;

  • The frame is materially different from the approved order; or

  • A manufacturing defect is present.

Delaying notice may make it harder to determine whether a problem existed at delivery or resulted from later use.

40. Eyewear Adaptation

Some customers need time to adapt to:

  • A new prescription;

  • Progressive lenses;

  • Bifocals;

  • Trifocals;

  • Prism;

  • High-index lenses;

  • Changes in astigmatism;

  • Changes in frame size;

  • A different base curve;

  • A new lens design; or

  • A significant prescription change.

Adaptation experiences vary.

Temporary symptoms may include:

  • Distortion;

  • Swim effect;

  • Depth-perception changes;

  • Peripheral blur;

  • Awareness of lens zones;

  • Head movement adjustments; or

  • Mild discomfort.

Severe, persistent, or worsening symptoms should be reported promptly and may require review by Home Optical or the prescribing provider.

Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform a hazardous activity while your vision feels unsafe.

Home Optical cannot guarantee that every customer will adapt to every lens design.

41. Adjustments and Repairs

Home Optical may provide adjustments or repairs when reasonably possible.

Adjustment and repair services may involve risk, particularly when:

  • A frame is old;

  • Materials are brittle;

  • A frame was previously repaired;

  • Parts are corroded;

  • A frame is severely bent;

  • Screws or hinges are damaged;

  • The frame was purchased elsewhere;

  • Replacement parts are unavailable; or

  • Heat or pressure must be applied.

Before working on a fragile or damaged frame, Home Optical may explain that breakage is possible.

When you authorize work on an already damaged, deteriorated, or third-party frame, Home Optical is not responsible for unavoidable breakage unless caused by negligence or another basis of liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Home Optical may refuse a repair that appears unsafe or impractical.

A repair may alter appearance, finish, alignment, strength, or fit.

42. Fabrication Errors and Remakes

If Home Optical or its laboratory makes a verified fabrication error, Home Optical will use reasonable efforts to correct the error.

Unless a different written policy applies, a claimed fabrication error should be reported within 30 calendar days after delivery or pickup.

Verification may require:

  • Inspection of the eyewear;

  • Lens measurement;

  • Comparison with the written prescription;

  • Confirmation of the approved order;

  • Review of fitting measurements;

  • Provider consultation; or

  • Laboratory evaluation.

A remake may not be free when the issue results from:

  • A new or changed prescription;

  • Incorrect information provided by the customer;

  • A customer-supplied measurement;

  • A changed frame choice;

  • Loss or accidental damage;

  • Normal wear;

  • Improper care;

  • Another party’s alteration;

  • A preference change;

  • Failure to follow instructions; or

  • An issue outside Home Optical’s control.

Any courtesy remake is limited to the terms stated in writing and does not create an unlimited remake obligation.

A remake does not necessarily restart every warranty or return period unless stated in writing.

43. Prescription Changes After Purchase

A prescribing provider may change a prescription after eyewear has been ordered or delivered.

A prescription change does not automatically establish that Home Optical made an error.

The customer is responsible for charges associated with a changed prescription unless:

  • Home Optical caused the error;

  • A written prescription-change benefit applies;

  • A manufacturer or insurer covers the remake;

  • The prescribing provider accepts responsibility; or

  • Applicable law requires another result.

Home Optical may require the updated written prescription before beginning a remake.

Insurance benefits may not cover a second order during the same benefit period.

44. Manufacturer and Product Warranties

Certain Products may carry a manufacturer warranty.

Manufacturer warranties vary and may require:

  • Proof of purchase;

  • Product inspection;

  • Photographs;

  • Return to the manufacturer;

  • Payment of shipping;

  • Use of authorized parts;

  • Compliance with care instructions; or

  • Waiting for the manufacturer’s decision.

Home Optical does not control a manufacturer’s warranty decision.

Unless expressly stated in writing, warranties generally do not cover:

  • Scratches;

  • Accidental damage;

  • Loss;

  • Theft;

  • Chewing by pets;

  • Heat damage;

  • Chemical damage;

  • Improper cleaning;

  • Normal wear;

  • Cosmetic wear;

  • Bent frames;

  • Unauthorized repair;

  • Alteration by another provider;

  • Failure to follow care instructions; or

  • Damage caused by misuse.

No lens is guaranteed to be scratch-proof or unbreakable.

Statutory warranties and rights that cannot legally be disclaimed remain in effect.

45. Shipping, Delivery, and Pickup

Delivery dates are estimates unless Home Optical expressly guarantees a date in writing.

Delays may result from:

  • Prescription verification;

  • Insurance processing;

  • Product availability;

  • Laboratory workload;

  • Manufacturer delay;

  • Quality-control inspection;

  • Weather;

  • Carrier problems;

  • Customs;

  • Holidays;

  • Address errors;

  • Equipment failure;

  • Supply shortages; or

  • Events outside Home Optical’s reasonable control.

Home Optical is not responsible for a reasonable delay caused by such circumstances.

Shipping information

You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

Additional charges may apply when a shipment must be:

  • Redirected;

  • Reshipped;

  • Replaced because of an incorrect address;

  • Held at a carrier location; or

  • Sent using a customer-requested expedited method.

Risk of loss

Unless otherwise required by law, risk of loss passes to you when:

  • The Product is delivered to the address you provided;

  • The Product is handed to you or your authorized recipient;

  • You collect the Product; or

  • A carrier records delivery according to the selected delivery method.

Notify Home Optical promptly of a missing or damaged shipment.

Carrier investigations may be required before replacement or refund.

Authorized pickup

Home Optical may require identification before releasing a Product.

You may authorize another person to collect an order. Home Optical may request:

  • The authorized person’s name;

  • Identification;

  • Order information;

  • Written or electronic authorization; or

  • Confirmation from you.

Home Optical may refuse release when authority or identity cannot reasonably be verified.

46. Unclaimed Orders

Home Optical will make reasonable efforts to notify you when an order is ready.

If an order remains unclaimed for 90 days after the first ready notice, Home Optical may send a final notice.

If the order remains unclaimed for an additional 30 days after final notice, Home Optical may, to the extent permitted by law:

  • Place the Product in storage;

  • Charge a previously disclosed reasonable storage fee;

  • Dispose of the Product;

  • Donate an appropriate Product;

  • Return eligible components to a supplier; or

  • Take another lawful action.

Amounts paid for completed Custom Products are not automatically refundable merely because the Product was not collected.

Disposal of a Product does not automatically eliminate an unpaid balance when the Product was custom-made and Home Optical completed the agreed work.

47. Promotions and Discounts

Promotions may:

  • Have expiration dates;

  • Apply only to selected Products;

  • Require a minimum purchase;

  • Exclude insurance transactions;

  • Exclude examinations;

  • Exclude premium lenses;

  • Exclude designer frames;

  • Be limited to one per person;

  • Be unavailable with another offer;

  • Be limited to available stock; or

  • Be subject to additional written terms.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

  • Discounts cannot be combined;

  • Promotions have no cash value;

  • Prior purchases are not eligible;

  • Insurance benefits are not cash discounts;

  • A promotion may end when inventory is exhausted; and

  • Home Optical may correct a promotional error.

Home Optical will not cancel a promotion retroactively after an order is accepted unless necessary to correct fraud, an obvious error, or another lawful basis.

48. Gift Cards and Store Credits

If Home Optical offers gift cards or store credits, additional written terms may apply.

Gift cards and store credits:

  • Are not redeemable for cash except where required by law;

  • May not be replaced if lost unless ownership can be verified;

  • May not be used fraudulently;

  • May be subject to restrictions disclosed at issuance; and

  • Cannot be used to purchase another gift card unless permitted.

Insurance credits, manufacturer credits, courtesy adjustments, refunds, and gift cards are not necessarily interchangeable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes an express written warranty, professional duty, consumer right, or legal remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

51. Clinical Disclaimer

Home Optical is not responsible for the independent professional judgment of a licensed healthcare provider when that provider is legally separate from Home Optical.

Clinical questions, diagnosis questions, and prescription questions should be directed to the provider responsible for the examination.

Nothing in these Terms:

  • Waives a patient right that cannot legally be waived;

  • Excuses professional negligence;

  • Replaces informed consent;

  • WEBSITE USE;

  • WEBSITE UNAVAILABILITY;

  • LOST PROFITS;

  • CARRIER DELAY;

  • INSURANCE DENIAL;

  • MANUFACTURER DELAY;

  • CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED INFORMATION;

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HOME OPTICAL’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM A PARTICULAR PRODUCT OR NONCLINICAL SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID TO HOME OPTICAL FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT DIRECTLY GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limitations do not apply to the extent prohibited by law, including where applicable to:

  • Fraud;

  • Willful misconduct;

  • Gross negligence;

  • Personal injury caused by legally actionable negligence;

  • Professional malpractice;

  • Violation of a nonwaivable statutory right; or

  • Another liability that cannot legally be limited.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limitations. In that event, the limitation will apply only to the maximum extent permitted.

53. Your Responsibility and Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Home Optical and its owners, employees, contractors, and representatives harmless from third-party claims resulting from:

  • Your unlawful use of the Website;

  • Your fraudulent conduct;

  • A forged or unauthorized prescription;

  • Your unauthorized submission of another person’s information;

  • Your violation of another person’s intellectual-property or privacy rights;

  • User content you submit;

  • Your material violation of these Terms; or

  • Damage caused by your intentional misconduct.

This obligation does not require you to indemnify Home Optical for Home Optical’s own negligence, professional malpractice, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot legally be transferred.

54. Events Beyond Reasonable Control

Home Optical will not be responsible for a delay or failure caused by events outside its reasonable control, including:

  • Hurricanes;

  • Floods;

  • Fires;

  • Severe weather;

  • Natural disasters;

  • Public-health emergencies;

  • Building closures;

  • Road closures; or

  • Provider emergencies.

Home Optical will use reasonable efforts to communicate and resume performance when practicable.

This provision does not excuse an obligation to issue a refund when a refund is required by applicable law.

55. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before filing a lawsuit concerning a Product, Service, payment, or these Terms, the complaining party should send written notice describing:

  • The person’s name and contact information;

  • The order or appointment involved;

  • The nature of the dispute;

  • The amount involved;

  • Relevant supporting documents; and

  • The requested resolution.

Notice to Home Optical should be sent to:

Home Optical — Dispute Notice
6989 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL, 33141
homeoptical777@gmail.com

The parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after receipt of sufficient notice.

This section does not prevent either party from:

  • Filing an eligible small-claims matter;

  • Seeking emergency injunctive relief;

  • Meeting a statutory deadline;

  • Reporting a matter to a regulator;

  • Filing a professional complaint; or

  • Exercising a nonwaivable legal right.

56. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Unless applicable law requires another location, a court proceeding relating to these Terms, the Website, or a Home Optical transaction must be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction in:

[INSERT COUNTY], Florida.

Each party consents to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

An eligible claim may be filed in small-claims court where legally permitted.

These Terms do not shorten a legally applicable limitation period.

57. No Partnership or Agency

Your use of the Website or purchase of a Product does not create a:

  • Partnership;

  • Joint venture;

  • Employment relationship;

  • Franchise;

  • Fiduciary relationship; or

  • Agency relationship

between you and Home Optical.

An independent healthcare provider, laboratory, manufacturer, insurer, or contractor does not become Home Optical’s legal partner merely because Home Optical coordinates or communicates with that party.

58. Suspension and Termination

Home Optical may suspend or terminate Website access, appointments, nonemergency services, or future business dealings when reasonably necessary because of:

  • Fraud;

  • Threats;

  • Harassment;

  • Violence;

  • Repeated nonpayment;

  • Repeated missed appointments;

  • Falsified information;

  • Prescription fraud;

  • Insurance fraud;

  • Theft;

  • Website abuse;

  • Safety concerns;

  • Violation of these Terms; or

  • Another lawful business or professional reason.

Home Optical will not terminate care or services in a manner prohibited by applicable law or professional obligations.

Termination does not eliminate:

  • Amounts already owed;

  • Record-retention duties;

  • Warranty obligations already accepted;

  • Privacy duties;

  • Rights concerning completed transactions; or

  • Provisions that logically survive termination.

59. Assignment

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without Home Optical’s written consent.

Home Optical may assign or transfer its rights and obligations in connection with:

  • A business sale;

  • Reorganization;

  • Merger;

  • Change of ownership;

  • Asset transfer;

  • Financing;

  • Corporate restructuring; or

  • Transfer to a successor,

subject to applicable privacy, healthcare, and consumer laws.

60. Waiver

Home Optical’s failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the particular matter described.

A courtesy adjustment, refund, repair, remake, or exception does not establish an obligation to provide the same exception in the future.

61. Severability

If a court determines that a provision of these Terms is unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable:

  • The provision will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent;

  • If necessary, it will be modified or removed;

  • The remaining provisions will remain in effect; and

  • The invalid provision will not automatically invalidate the entire agreement.

62. Order of Control

If documents conflict, the following order generally applies:

  1. A legally required statutory notice;

  2. A separately signed healthcare consent or Notice of Privacy Practices concerning the applicable subject;

  3. A specific written order form, estimate, invoice, receipt, warranty, or promotion term;

  4. A specific Return, Remake, or Warranty Policy;

  5. These Terms;

  6. General Website content.

A specific written term controls only for the subject and transaction it addresses.

63. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with applicable:

  • Order forms;

  • Estimates;

  • Invoices;

  • Receipts;

  • Privacy Policy;

  • Notice of Privacy Practices;

  • Telehealth consent;

  • Return Policy;

  • Remake Policy;

  • Warranty Policy;

  • Promotion terms; and

  • Other signed or accepted transaction documents,

constitute the agreement concerning the applicable Website use, Product, or Service.

They supersede prior discussions concerning the same subject, except for intentional misrepresentation or another matter that cannot legally be excluded.

64. Changes to These Terms

Home Optical may update these Terms because of:

  • Legal changes;

  • Service changes;

  • Technology changes;

  • Vendor changes;

  • Business changes;

  • Security concerns; or

  • Policy improvements.

Updated Website Terms become effective when posted unless another date is stated.

Changes will not retroactively alter a completed purchase when doing so would be unlawful.

The Terms in effect when an order is accepted generally govern that transaction, except where a later change is required by law or accepted by both parties.

The “Last Updated” date appears at the beginning of these Terms.

65. Headings

Headings are for organization and convenience. They do not limit the meaning of a provision.

66. Accessibility

Home Optical aims to make information and services reasonably accessible.

A person who has difficulty using the Website or needs assistance accessing these Terms may contact Home Optical by telephone or email.

Home Optical will make reasonable efforts to provide the information through an appropriate alternative method.
