The purpose of these General Terms and Conditions is to define the conditions under which the Company sells Products to its Customers. Therefore, they shall apply to any order ("Order") of Products placed on the Site by any Customer registered on the said Site ("Customer").
The Customer declares that he/she has read and accepted these Terms and Conditions before placing the Order. The validation of the Order, therefore, implies the acceptance of the GTC.
By validating the Order, the Customer certifies that he/she has read and accepted the GTC. Placing an order, therefore, constitutes acceptance without the need for a manual signature.

 

 

ORDERING ON THE SITE

When placing an Order, the Customer is asked to choose the frame he/she owns, then lenses with or without correction, the type of correction desired, the use, the type of lenses as well as the tint, color, and treatment; then the choice of mounting his/her lenses or having them mounted. After making these choices, the Customer is taken to the Order Summary page before validating the Order.
Throughout the Order selection process, the Customer has access to the summary sheet which presents the complete list of Products selected by the Customer as well as any additional charges. Until the final validation of the Order, the Customer can modify it and rectify any errors.
At the time of the final validation of the Order, the Customer shall enter his/her payment details and delivery preferences.
The client certifies at the time of payment:
    • That he is over 18 years old
In the case of an order for corrective lenses, the Customer certifies that
    • That he/she has a medical prescription issued by an authorized health professional,
    • That this medical prescription is less than one year old for persons under 16 years of age, less than five years old for persons between 16 and 42 years of age, and less than three years old for persons over 42 years of age.
Failure to comply with these conditions will result in the cancellation of the order during the verification phase by an optician.

Once the payment of the order is validated, it is verified by one of METAOPTICS opticians. The latter will contact the customer if he/she notices a data entry error or a technical impossibility to produce the lenses to propose an alternative solution. If the customer refuses the modification and/or the payment of a possible supplement, the Company reserves the right to cancel the order.
As a reminder, Decree 2016-1381 of October 12, 2016, on the conditions of delivery of corrective lenses or corrective ocular contact lenses and the rules of practice of the profession of optician-monitor, states that, for prescriptions for corrective lenses issued before the date of entry into force of this decree, on 17/10/2016, the medical prescription is adaptable by the optician in the context of a renewal of optical equipment, provided that it is less than 3 years old and that it is intended for a subject over the age of 16. The Company does not modify or adapt prescriptions in the context of its Internet sales activity.

The Company shall send the Customer an e-mail confirming the Order and listing the various items purchased. The sending of this confirmation e-mail formalizes the contractual commitment between the Company and the Client.
Upon delivery of the Order, the Customer will receive an invoice mentioning the optician who examined the Customer's request.

All the prices mentioned on the site, in the descriptions, or the summaries are expressed in euros and all taxes included including a VAT at 20% in case of delivery in Europe and a VAT at 0% in case of delivery in French Overseas Departments and Territories or outside the EU. Deliveries outside France may be subject to taxes and customs duties imposed when the package arrives at its destination. These taxes and customs duties are the responsibility of the customer. The Company does not verify customs duties and taxes for deliveries outside of France and is not required to inform the Customer.
The total amount of the Sales Order shall be indicated in the Sales Order summary before the Client accepts the Terms and Conditions, validates the Sales Order, enters his/her billing and shipping information, and proceeds to checkout.
The Order shall be subject to payment online, in euros, exclusively by credit card (currently accepted: CB, Visa, and MasterCard). No order shall be validated unless the Client has paid in full at the time of placing the Order. The Customer's bank account will be debited on the date of the order and the order will be considered effective after confirmation of the agreement of the banking payment centers. The Site entrusts the security of its transactions to the company Pay-Plug. The Company never has access to confidential information relating to the means of payment.
For any Order placed on the Site, the Customer certifies that he/she is fully entitled to use the bank card provided for the payment of his/her order and that this bank card gives access to the funds necessary to cover the costs corresponding to the Order placed on the Site.
In the event of non-payment, partial payment, payment incident, fraud, or attempted fraud relating to payment or use of the Site, the Company reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel any Order or delivery, regardless of its progress.

CPAM Reimbursement - 0 Out-of-Pocket Expense as of January 1, 2020

Customers ordering corrective lenses on the Site that may be reimbursed by the CPAM will be given a free quote including a Class A option (0 remaining costs) and a Class B option (free offer).
    • When the Customer's selection of the frame he/she owns does not allow the use of Class A lenses, but only Class B lenses; the Customer is informed of this and is invited to check a box acknowledging the incompatibility of his/her frame with Class A lenses. By placing an Order on the Site, the Customer thus refuses the 100% health offer (Class A) in favor of the free offer. The final validation of the Order and its payment shall constitute acceptance and digital signature of the free offer part of the Order, of the entirety of the Order and the due date of the sums due in the execution of said Order, as well as full and unreserved acceptance of the entirety of this GTC, in the same way as a handwritten signature.

    • When the client has selected a frame that allows for the use of Class A lenses, the client is invited to proceed with the creation of the Sales Order without validating the final payment until the standardized estimate has been transmitted to him/her by our opticians. The METAOPTICS optician will then validate the Order and send by e-mail a quote with the class A and class B lenses chosen. This quotation is loaded into the data accessible by the client on the Web site, and the client is invited to choose and confirm his choice before proceeding to the payment phase. The final validation of the Sales Order and the payment shall constitute acceptance and electronic signature of the entirety of the Sales Order and the sums due in fulfillment of the said Sales Order, as well as full and unreserved acceptance of the entirety of these General Terms and Conditions of Sale in the same way as a handwritten signature.

According to the Official Journal of December 13, 2018 "For adults and children aged 16 and over, renewal of coverage for equipment (respectively one frame and two lenses) is possible at the end of a minimum period of two years after the last coverage for equipment (respectively one frame and two lenses). For children over 6 and under 16 years of age, the renewal of the reimbursement of equipment (respectively a frame and two lenses) is possible after a minimum period of one year after the last reimbursement of equipment (respectively a frame and two lenses)." The different time limits are understood to be concerning the date of issue of the last device concerned for the application of the time limit. The different time limits shall also apply for the separate renewal of equipment components."

 

 
AVAILABILITY, SERVICE, DEADLINES, AND DELIVERY

    • The services
The Company offers its customers a service of mounting lenses on their frames. In this case, the Customer must send his or her frame to the Company so that it can validate the conformity with the lenses ordered before launching the production phase. However, the Company reserves the right to refuse to mount the lenses on a customer's frame if the latter is in a condition that does not allow mounting to be carried out without major risk of breakage or damage to the frame or lenses, or if the frame requires specific equipment that is not available on the Company's premises. The customer will then be informed and the order will be put on hold.
    • Delivery times
The Company shall do its utmost to ensure that delivery is made within 15 calendar days from the time all the data required to complete the order have been transmitted: prescription, photos requested on the site for the calculation and verification of the 1⁄2 pupillary distances and the 2 heights, receipt of the frame for cases of assembly carried out by the Company on behalf of the Client.

LEGAL GUARANTEE OF CONFORMITY

Each lens is checked by a qualified optician before delivery to the customer. In case of non-conformity of the delivered product, the customer can turn to the Customer Service of the Company by following the procedure available on the website at the following address: http://dev.metaoptics.vision/content/19-garantie-conformite

Under the legal guarantee of conformity of Articles L217-1 to L217-14, L211-1 to L211-4, L111-1 to L111-8 and Article L241-5 of the Consumer Code as well as the Order of December 18, 2014, on the content of GTCs in terms of Legal Guarantee, in case of a defective product or one that does not correspond to the order; acting within two (2) years from the date of delivery, the Buyer has the choice of either repairing the product or replacing it. If repair and replacement are not possible, the Buyer may return the goods and have the price refunded or keep the goods and have part of the price refunded.

However, these legal guarantees cannot be implemented if the defect or damage to a Product purchased from the Company is the result of improper use of the Product (scratches, breakage, deformation, etc.) by the purchaser.

In addition, the information and photos in each "glasses" file are indicative; it is possible that due to the digital presentation mode on the website, the Customer's perception does not correspond exactly to the product delivered following the order: colors of the glasses, colors of the mirrors, colors of the anti-reflection treatments, etc... A deviation related to these aspects of perception cannot be considered as a non-conformity.

In case of a defect on the received order, please contact Customer Service to make note of this said defect, a prepaid return form will be communicated to you. No refund will be made if the Order is returned by any other means.
As part of the continuous improvement of its service, the Company invites the Customer to notify the reason for the withdrawal on the withdrawal form.

This refund will be made within a maximum of 14 days from the date of receipt of the returned Order in our offices. In any event, this refund shall not incur any costs for the Customer.

 Following the provisions of Article L.221-28 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal may not be exercised for the supply of goods made to the consumer's specifications or personalized. Therefore, in the case of an Order for corrective lenses tailored to the shape of the frame or non-corrective lenses tailored to the shape of the frame, no exchange, refund, or withdrawal can be made unless the lenses delivered are defective.
