Delivery times are estimates and cannot be guaranteed, as Skans is dependent on third party. 

The place of delivery is deemed to be the shipping/delivery address that you provide in your order. The products are considered delivered when accepted by or on behalf of you at the delivery address. If you fail to accept the products after two delivery attempts, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs.

We have a legal duty to provide products in conformance with the agreement. You should inspect the products for defects as soon as possible after delivery and inform us of any defects to the products preferably within 7 days, so we can make a claim against the carrier, if needed, but in any case within 30 days.

Exchange of non personalized items

  • If the product is exchanged to a product of higher commercial value, the customer will pay the difference.

Skans ApS
Dybbølsgade 27 4 th
1721 Copenhagen
Denmark

In order to receive the full purchase price refunded, you must do the same as you can in a physical store. You may test the product, but not actually use it. If the item has been tried on in addition to what is described above, we consider it as used, which means that if you cancel the purchase, you will only get a part or none of the purchase amount back, depending on the item's commercial value, which Skans will decide on. For example scratched sunglasses or lenses, or a stained eyewear case will not be refunded.

Personalized items

Products that have been manufactured in accordance with the customer's instructions or that have otherwise been given a distinct personal touch, like lenses and prescription spectacles, can be canceled or exchanged within 60 days. A cancellation fee of 25% of the purchasing price (a minimum of DKK 800) will be applied and withdrawn from the purchasing amount before being refunded. 

Exchange of personalized items

If the product is exchanged to a product of higher commercial value, the customer will pay the balance between the new product and the initial product. If a customer is choosing a replacement product of lower value than the purchasing amount, the balance will not be refunded.

Cancellation of personalized items

You can cancel your personalized item within 60 days and be refunded the purchasing price minus a cancellation fee of 25% of the purchasing price (a minimum of DKK 800).

Cancellations must be reported to us no later than 60 days after the purchase, and you must return the shipment no later than 14 days after the cancellation.
The notice must be given by email at eyewear@skans.com. In the message, you must make us clearly aware that you wish to exercise your right of cancellation.

In order to receive the full purchase amount (minus cancelation fee), the item has to be in great condition. If the glasses have been used carelessly or improperly or with neglect you will only get a part or none of the purchase price refunded, which Skans will decide. For example; a scratched frame or a stained eyewear case will not be refunded, but deducted from the refunded amount.

Should the product still be damaged or mis-sent when you receive it, we undertake, in accordance with applicable consumer protection legislation, to remedy the defect free of charge.
