Terms and Conditions
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE
- Prescription Glasses
1.1 When placing an order through our website, you must ensure that any orders placed are correct. If unsure on how to place an order, contact our retail support team via our contact form or visit your local The Unique Hour store.
1.2 You can place an order either in-store or online using an existing prescription from The Unique Hour or an outside optometrist. The prescription must not have expired, must record your full name and the prescribing optometrist’s contact information, and must be for optical glasses and not for contact lenses.
1.3 When placing your order online, you must enter your PD (pupillary distance). This can be obtained from your existing optometrist or by visiting one of our stores.
1.4 If a frame that you want to order is not available online, this means that it is currently out of stock at our lab and will be restocked shortly. Restock dates vary so we will be unable to estimate when the frame may be back in stock.
1.5 All orders for prescription glasses are final and The Unique Hour is not liable for any errors made when entering your prescription information if placing an order online. Once an order has been placed, either in-store or online, The Unique Hour will immediately take steps and incur costs filling the order so, subject to any relevant Australian Consumer Law, orders cannot be amended or cancelled. If you have an issue with your order, contact the store purchased from or our retail support team via our contact form.
1.6 For prescription sunglass orders placed on our website, you are unable to modify the lens colour. If you would like a different lens colour or finish on the lenses, you will need to visit one of our stores so they can place the order for you. This may incur an additional cost as this will be considered a custom order from our lab.
1.7 Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email with the selected frame details. Please review and contact a member of the team immediately if you have any questions.
- Non-Prescription Glasses
2.1 All non-prescription orders placed on our website, come from our warehouse where the lenses are pre-cut. For non-prescription sunglasses, you are unable to modify the lens colour. If you would like a different lens colour or finish on the lenses, you will need to visit one of our stores so they can place the order for you. This may incur an additional cost as this will be considered a custom order from our lab. For non-prescription items, we offer exchanges within 14 days of being received, provided that the items are in satisfactory condition with no damage or adjustments.
2.2 If a custom order is placed (i.e non-prescription but lens extras such as coatings or a different colour tint for the sunglasses), no exchange or refund is possible unless required under Australian Consumer Law.
- Warranties/Exchanges/Refunds
3.1 In addition to the rights under the Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to a replacement for a major failure or fault with the frames or lenses within 1 year of purchase. You are also entitled to have the goods, including the frames or lenses, repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality within this 1-year period. This does not include being due to incorrect options selected when ordering or change of mind. We do not provide cover for mistreatment or general wear and tear over time.
3.2 We recommend that all our half-rim styles are purchased with our Extra Thin (Thin & Light), 1.6 index lenses or above. Any orders with standard lenses that chip or crack will not be covered by The Unique Hour’s standard lens replacement warranty.
3.3 There may be slight variations in the fit of each frame. If the fit is not perfect when you receive it, we’ll help you adjust it to your face at any of our stores.
3.4 Since each pair of glasses is customised based on your prescription, we cannot offer any exchange or refund for change of mind on prescription items. If the prescription provided from an external optometrist is incorrect or if the prescription is no longer valid, purchasers agree that The Unique Hour is not responsible for the cost of the remake and are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses.
3.5 Our warranty does not cover any damage caused by modifications made to the frame.
3.6 Our warranty does not cover damage caused to the lenses by misuse. This includes scratches caused by dropping them or crazing to the lenses due to being left in high temperatures.
3.7 Our warranty policy is in addition to Australian Consumer Law which cannot be limited or excluded. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

9.3 Some health funds cover lens extras including hi-index upgrades or lens coatings but this depends on the level of cover.
9.4 For non-prescription frames with lens coatings or add-ons, we are unable to provide item codes as these are not claimable from a private health fund provider through The Unique Hour.
