Operational Matters
Additional Information
1 Essilor reserve the right to refuse to process any order
with a tint combined with an MAR coating.
2 Due to the nature of dyes available, it is not possible to
guarantee an exact match for any tints other than those
from the Essilor Tints ranges. Orders for single
tinted lenses will not be accepted.
3 For rimless eyewear, we recommend use of Airwear
1.59, Ormix 1.6 or Stylis 1.67 lenses. With low power
lenses it may not be possible to use stock
lenses. Minimum drill hole and edge thickness will be
specified in order to ensure the aesthetic appeal and
integrity of the rimless spectacles.
4 Essilor will not undertake the removal of vacuum coating or
a hardcoat.
5 PRECAL will be charged provided at least one of the lenses
of a pair show a reduction in centre thickness.
6 UVX will normally only be applied to pairs of lenses.
Single lens orders for UVX are tinted at the customer's
own risk.
7 Guarantees of Origin are available for all Varilux
products. Essilor honour the Guarantee of Origin of their
lenses only to direct customers. Essilor will not
forward guarantees to retailers who have not received
them from their suppliers.
8 European Community Directive 93/42/CEE for medical
devices, which defines the minimum impact resistance of
lenses, was implemented on 15 June 1998. All optical
lenses supplied by Essilor comply with this standard and
our lens packaging carries the CE marking. The CE
regulations prohibit Essilor from glazing any new frames
which are not marked with the CE mark, or are
not accompanied by a tag or literature which has the CE
mark. This does not refer to secondhand frames (so-called
re-glazing) where normal quality verification
activity will be conducted.
9 Orders combining lenses of different indices will not
be accepted.
10 Alterations and cancellations to prescription orders cannot
be accepted once orders have commenced processing. In
the case of cancellation after the production of the
order has commenced, we reserve the right to charge and
ship as normal. If the order is shipped, Essilor will
not accept any return or request for credit.
11 Standards, specifications and definitions are subject to
ongoing review through developments in technology and
manufacturing improvements.
12 These terms and conditions apply to all distributors of
Essilor products and shall be incorporated into the Terms
and Conditions of Sale issued by Essilor from time to
time.
13 Essilor Ltd reserves the right to withhold supplies to any
distributor who fails to honour these Terms and
Conditions and to claim compensation in any courts
having jurisdiction.
14 Delivery times quoted in the catalogue are indicative and
are therefore not contractual. These times do not include
Sundays or UK public holidays and may be subject to
variance due to operational conditions. Essilor cannot be
held accountable for transport delays. Actual delivery
times are provided at the point of order placement
and Essilor endeavour to ensure a high level of
reliability of the quoted delivery duration.
