1-Year Limited Warranty (California)


Our One Year Limited Warranty covers all complete-pair frame and lens purchases that include Anti-Reflective lenses. The warranty begins on Day 1 and there is no cost upfront for the warranty! Should a customer break or damage their eyewear during the first year of purchase, they simply pay a $100 copayment to have the damaged part(s) replaced.

Given there is a percentage of eyewear that is delivered beyond day 1 (purchase date) we will always honor the dispensing date as the first day. The life of the limited warranty is 1 year from the dispensed date and is not available past the one year.

What Qualifies:*
         • Wear and tear
         • Accidental damages, scratches or breakage
         • Temples or frame chewed, marred

Exclusions:
         • Loss or theft
         • Exchanges due to a change in Rx (Rx is updated due to 'natural' change in acuity)
         • Authentics programs

Some states (only applies to California) do not allow limitations on how long an Implied Warranty lasts or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You.

Transferability and Renewals:
This Limited Warranty is not transferable or renewable.

Subrogation:
If LensCrafters pays loss, it may require you to assign LensCrafters your rights of recovery against others. LensCrafters will not pay for a loss if you impair these rights to recover. Your rights to recover from others may not be waived.

Governing Law, Dispute Resolution and Arbitration:
This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction, provided, however, that this dispute resolution agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Any claim or dispute in connection with this Limited Warranty shall be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration («Arbitration») Any Arbitration under this Limited Warranty will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You and LensCrafters agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Before commencing any arbitration proceeding under this Limited Warranty, you should present your claim or dispute to LensCrafters by calling 1-877-7LENSCRAFTERS (1-877-753-6727), and allowing LensCrafters the opportunity to consider resolving the claim or dispute. If your claim or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may commence arbitration proceedings in accordance with the provisions of this Limited Warranty.

The Arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on a dispute resolution provider, the American Arbitration Association will administer the arbitration process. The alternative dispute resolution provider and the parties must comply with the following rules:
a) the Arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the Arbitration; b) the Arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Alternatively, and notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to bring an individual action against the other in small claims court if the amount claimed is within the jurisdiction of such court. In that event, you agree that the parties are each waiving the right to participate in a class action.

In the event that one or more of these provisions shall, for any reason, be held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
