Provision of the Service
The service to be provided by the Company to the User shall comprise:
the conduct of a video-conference session during which the personnel appointed by the Company will provide the User with eyewear styling advice and recommendations; and

subject to such other services as may be expressly set out on the Purchasing Platform from time to time, and which services shall, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude the sale or provision by the Company of any eyewear to the User (including any eyewear recommended to the User) (the “Service”).
The Fees are payable in consideration of the provision of the Service. Unless otherwise notified to the User by the Company, payment of the Fees shall be reflected as a voucher purchased on the Purchasing Platform.
The User may request the Company to provide the Service to the User by submitting a request for an appointment for the provision of the Service (“Appointment”) through such Platform as designated by the Company.

The Appointment will be conducted at the date and time confirmed by the Company (“Appointment Date”) through such media as the Company may notify the User (including through the use of such video-conferencing platform as designated by the Company).
The User shall be responsible for procuring and obtaining all necessary equipment for the purposes of attending the Appointment.
The User may request for a change to the Appointment Date no later than 24 hours prior to the Appointment Date. Any change to the Appointment Date is subject to confirmation by the Company. If the User fails to attend or is late in attending the Appointment on the Appointment Date, unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, the User shall not be entitled to any refund of the Fees.
The Company shall be entitled to change or postpone the Appointment Date at any time immediately by written notice to the User without any liability to the User.
