Our contract
How our contract is formed.
Our acceptance of an Order occurs when we send you a confirmation email and give you an order number. It is at this point that a contract between you and us will come into existence – as noted above, this contract is governed and conditioned by these Terms.
Accounts
Account Creation.
Although you can go through the order process as a guest, you may choose to register for an account on our Site (“Account”). Registering for an account will allow you to benefit from increased functionality and features. If you choose to register you will have to provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form.
Accurate and up-to-date Information.

You are responsible for your Account.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account log-in information (including, for example, your password). Accordingly, you are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account.
What to do if you become aware of, or suspect, unauthorised use of your Account.
You should notify us immediately if you suspect or become aware of any unauthorised use of your Account or any other breach of its security.
Delivery
Delivery costs.
Standard UK delivery of all ocushield Products are seen on the Site – there are no hidden costs added at checkout. You have the option for faster delivery as set out and for the price as set out at Checkout.
Where does delivery take place?
Delivery of Products takes place at the front door of the property at the address you specified for delivery. This means that if the Products are being delivered to a flat or property with a reception/concierge, delivery shall take place at the front door of this property and not at the door of the specific property within an apartment block. Provided that we deliver the Products to the address you have specified in the order (or any other address agreed by us in writing) then the Products will be deemed to have been delivered and we will not be liable to you for non delivery of the Products, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not have to satisfy ourselves that the person who accepts delivery at the address you have provided is you or is a person authorised by you to accept delivery of the Products.
When you become responsible for the Products.
Any Products in your Order will be your responsibility from the time we deliver them to you in accordance with this section and the Terms generally.
Split shipments.
For logistical reasons, ocushield reserves the right to split shipments. This means that if you order multiple Products in one Order, the individual Products may be sent and arrive separately and potentially by different carriers.
When we will provide the Products.
During the order process we will give you an estimated date of delivery for the Products – this will depend on the delivery option selected. This date is an estimate only, but we will try our best to make sure we meet it. That said, if our supply of the Products is delayed, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.
Price
Our prices on our UK website are in GBP and include all taxes (for example, our prices include VAT at the rate that is in force on the date you make a payment). The price that you will actually pay in respect of any Order will be the amount shown to you at the checkout page.
Ocushield reserves the right to change the prices shown for the Products at any time.
Payment
Payment can occur by listed means only.
You can pay for your purchase by all means listed from time to time as available on the Site. The account associated with your payment method will be charged at the time the Order is accepted. We are not responsible to you for any losses that you might suffer as a result of trying to pay for an Order by any other means than those offered on the Site.
You authorise us to charge your payment card account.
By submitting an Order and providing us your payment card details at checkout, you fully authorise ocushield to use those payment card details to pay for your Order and that such payment means legally giving access to sufficient funds to cover all costs of the Order. Ocushield cannot be held liable for any fraudulent use of the payment method used.
Payment information encryption.
For information on how we secure your payment information, please see this section of our Privacy Policy.
Store your own records.
It is up to you to save and print the certificate of payment if you wants to keep the banking details of your Order – we won’t store these for you.
Product Availability
What happens if a Product in your Order is unavailable?
In case of unavailability of one or more Products after placing the Order, we will notify you by email or telephone. The amount of the Order will be recalculated and you will be charged the new amount, which will be: your original Order value, less the value of the missing Products. If the Order is entirely unavailable, we will notify you by email or telephone and your payment card account will not be charged for that Order (or it will be refunded if it has already been charged).
We are not liable for Product unavailability.
In case of unavailability of Products before or after Order, (subject to the “Our liability” section of these Terms) ocushield will not be liable for any loss you suffer nor liable to you for any damages as a result of the unavailability of such Product(s), to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Product Warranty
Please note that our Products’ warranties are provided at no additional cost and are in addition to the rights given to you by the law.
So …what does the warranty cover?
Ocushield warrants to the original purchaser of this Ocushield product that the product shall be free of defects in design, assembly, material, or workmanship, and shall be in an undamaged condition at the point of first sale to the original purchaser.
What is the period of coverage?
Ocushield warrants this Ocushield product for the 12 months from the time of purchase of the product.
How will we rectify any problems?
Ocushield will replace, at its option, any defective product free of charge (except for shipping charges for the product) with an identical or similar Ocushield product. Ocushield reserves the right to discontinue any of its products without notice, and disclaims any limited warranty to repair or replace any such discontinued products. In the event that Ocushield is unable to replace the product with an identical Ocushield product (for example, because it has been discontinued), Ocushield will offer either a refund or provide a replacement of another product from Ocushield.com in an amount equal to the purchase price of the product as evidenced on the original purchase receipt and as discounted by its natural use. For multi-pack purchases, the value is the value of the defective product only, and not the price of the multi-pack.
What is not covered by this warranty?
All above warranties are null and void if the Ocushield product is not provided to Ocushield for inspection upon Ocushield’s request at the sole expense of the purchaser, or if Ocushield determines that the Ocushield product has been improperly installed, altered in any way or tampered with. This limited warranty does not protect against damage caused by vandalism, theft, normal use, wear and tear, improper installation, misuse, accident, erosion, depletion, obsolescence, abuse, damage due to power disturbances (i.e. brownouts or sags), war, terrorism, or acts of God such as flood, fire or earthquake. This limited warranty does not, under any circumstances, cover the replacement or repair cost of any electronic device or personal property inside or outside of the Ocushield product.
This limited warranty does not cover products provided to you as replacement products for other products deemed to be replaceable per the terms of this warranty. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that if you purchase a Ocushield product, and that product is covered by this limited warranty and is therefore replaced with another product by Ocushield, the replacement product is not covered under this warranty or any other warranty, whether implied or express.
How to claim warranty for purchased products
To claim for your Ocushield product you must take the following steps:
1. Contact Ocushield at customerservice@ocushield.com or using our contact page. Be prepared to provide the following information:
a. Copy of original receipt.
b. Where you purchased the product.
c. When you purchased the product.
d. Order number if applicable
e. Image of product defect
2. The Ocushield team will then instruct you on how to proceed with your claim.
Ocushield reserves the right to review the damaged Ocushield product. All costs of shipping the Ocushield product to Ocushield for inspection shall be borne solely by the purchaser. Ocushield reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing insurance policies the purchaser may have.
What if I only want a refund?
This warranty does not give you the right to get a refund. The warranty only covers replacements, and upgrades for successful warranty claims.
Returns, Refunds & Exchanges
The following Products purchased from our direct website only (www.ocushield.com) have a free trial period – ocushield screen protector, ocushield glasses and ocushield clip-on glasses.
The free return period for each Product is as follows: 100 days
Please note that it may take up to 7 days for your bank to credit your account. We are not liable, and cannot take responsibility for, any bank charges that you may incur during the refund process.
If you are returning your product you are responsible to make sure the item is sent back to us at your own costs.
Any refund you are eligible for will be paid when the return has been logged in on our side.
We reserve the right to refuse the 100 night trial to anyone not operating as a consumer or who is otherwise in breach of these Terms. The 100-day trial is intended to give you the opportunity to see if you are happy with the product and therefore we ask for feedback on why you have returned a product as part of any return. If we have grounds to believe that you are returning the product for reasons other than because your genuinely dissatisfied with the product we reserve the right to refuse to accept the return, not give you a refund and reserve the right to refuse to sell ocushield Products to you in the future, either through the site or otherwise. Please note that this does not affect your legal rights as a consumer, which are summarised below.

Our liability
We are responsible to you only for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.
If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time these Terms are entered into and both we and you knew it might happen during the Services.
What we do not exclude.
Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
- Death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;
- Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- Your key legal rights described below;
- Defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
- Any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by English law.
We are not liable for business losses.

Should you use the Products in a manner which is not their intended use or, or what would be regarded as their intended use, or in accordance with recommendations then we shall not be liable for any loss suffered. In relation to mattresses, this relates to any loss or damage suffered by not using the mattress on a bed frame.
Summary of your key legal rights
We are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with the contract formed by these Terms – although we offer trials and additional warranties at no extra cost for a lot of our Products (that we feel are more generous than your basic legal rights) nothing in these terms will affect or limit such rights. If a Product does not come with a trial period or has no additional warranty, your basic legal rights will still apply to that Product.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says that the Products must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. This means that during the expected lifespan of your Product you are entitled to the following:
- Up to thirty days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.
- Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
- Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013).
As you are purchasing the Products online you have a legal right to change your mind within fourteen days from delivery of the Products and receive a refund. For example, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 do not entitle you to be reimbursed for the costs of returning products.
Our right to vary these terms and conditions
Small changes.
From time to time, we may make changes to the Services or these Terms:
- To improve or enhance any feature(s) of the Services; to ensure the ongoing viability of the Services; to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example, to address a security threat.
More significant changes.

The timing of any significant changes.
The Terms that will apply to your purchase of any Products will be those that are in force at the time you place your Order, unless:
- Any changes we subsequently make to these Terms or the Services have been required by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you); or
- If we have notified you of a change to the Terms that apply and will materially affect your Order before we send you the delivery confirmation and you have confirmed that you wish to proceed with your Order.
Privacy and security policy
You will be required to provide certain personal information to us as a necessary prerequisite of being able to place an Order. Our policies and procedures relating to your information are outlined in our Privacy Policy.
We will only use your data outlined in our privacy policy.
We shall not be liable where we are unable to perform or delayed in performing our obligations where such inability or delay is due to you not providing personal information required to perform such obligations.
Other Terms & Conditions
Products may vary from their pictures.
Ocushield aims to give you the information you need to know the essential characteristics of the Products. Ocushield agrees that the photographs of the Products on the Site should be as faithful as is possible to the actual Products themselves. However, given the digital mode of presentation, it is possible that your perception may not exactly match the relevant Product itself.
Compliance with UK Laws.
All the Products are made to comply with applicable UK laws and regulations.
Headings and Interpretation.
The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”.
We may transfer our rights under these Terms to someone else.
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation – for example, this could include another member of our group of companies or someone who buys our business. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these Terms.
Nobody else has any rights under these Terms.
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation – for example, this could include another member of our group of companies or someone who buys our business.

These Terms are between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force.
Each of the sections of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay enforcing our rights under these Terms, we can still enforce them later.
If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
Which laws apply to these Terms and where you may bring legal proceedings?
These Terms are governed by English law and we both agree to submit to the non exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. This means that, if you are a citizen of a country in the EU, you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with these Terms in England or in the EU country in which you live.

Should this occur you shall be given the option to cancel or amend your order in line with how the discount code should have been correctly applied.
