LAST UPDATED 22/03/2021

1.  Introduction

These are the Terms of Use (the “Terms”) that govern your use of the online interfaces, software, websites (including easee.online), mobile applications, and online properties that link to these Terms (collectively referred to as the “Site”). The Site is owned and controlled by easee Inc. (“Easee” “we”, “our” and “us”). These Terms describe your rights and responsibilities with regard to the easee Online Prescription Check (the “Test”) that you may use as part of a coordinated service for the purpose of updating your eye glasses or contact lens prescription. In these Terms, the terms “you” and “yours” refer to the person using the Test.

The personal information you submit to easee via the Site is governed by our Privacy Policy.

By accessing and using the Test and/or registering for an account you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agreed to be legally bound by and comply with these Terms and our Privacy Policy, including, but not limited to, binding arbitration, conducting this transaction electronically, disclaimers of warranties, damage and remedy exclusions and limitations, and a choice of New York law. Also all individual users that are granted access by or with assistance from a third party and/or as part of a coordinated service, agree to be legally bound to and comply with the Terms and Privacy Policy. Easee expects you to store a copy of all relevant agreements, contracts and documents, such as these Terms and the Privacy Policy and print such documents when you deem it necessary.

2. Medical Advice Disclaimer

The information provided through the Site is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Easee does not provide any medical treatment: our goal is to provide you with access to eye care services based upon information submitted and test results analyzed by a licensed eye care professional. Using the Test does not create a doctor-patient relationship or any other professional relationship with Easee. If you have any questions with regard to your health, we advise you to seek support from your doctor. Note that the eye care professional who issues you the updated prescription is an independent professional contracted by us to provide you with the Services. Therefore, they have full authority and control over the service you receive, including the updated prescription.

3.  The Test  

General Information

We operate an online eye test and related website that you may use for the purpose of performing a visual acuity test that, after reviewed and validated by an eye care professional, allows you to update your prescription.

When you use the Test, you will provide us with certain information about yourself by answering a series of questions to determine whether you are eligible to participate. If you are eligible to take the Test, you will perform a series of tasks to help an eye care professional at your request to determine whether to issue you an updated eyewear prescription.

If you want the full results of the Test, you may purchase our service, which allows a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist  (“Eye care professional”) to review your eligibility for the test, your test results, and other information about you in order to provide you with an updated eyewear prescription (the “Services”). 

Please note that the Test and the Services are only available to individuals in the United States of America between the ages of 18 and 45. The Test and the Services may not be available in some States. Easee retains all rights in deciding in which States and jurisdiction to offer the Test and Services. 

The Test and the Services are not intended as a substitute for a comprehensive eye health exam. The Test does not test for eye diseases or abnormalities and, therefore, you should visit your eye doctor at regular intervals for a comprehensive eye exam. We recommend that you take a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years.

Instructions for the use of the Test

You, following the audio and visual instructions given during the test and answering the questions truthfully, calibrate the computer screen to ensure that all images projected on the screen are standardized in size and brightness. We will then ask you to connect your smartphone to act as a remote control during the test, using therefore your own device to submit answers to a sequence of images and questions about your visual experience. 

The results are calculated based on the answers and on predefined parameters that allow an Eye care professional to review your eligibility and test results, deciding, therefore, whether or not to issue you an updated prescription. For an accurate result, we advise you to:

1. Use a computer or laptop (the brightness of the display should be between 80 and 320 cd/m2 (nits)).
2. Make sure that you are 10ft (3 meters) away from the screen when taking the test.
3. Use a smartphone.  
4. Make sure to have a good internet connection for both your phone (at least 3G or 4G) and computer.
5. If on, turn off all energy-saving functions on your computer and/or connect it to a power grid.
6. If on, turn off the night mode on your smartphone and/or laptop.
7. Set the brightness of the screen to maximum
8. Set the audio volume to maximum to be able to hear the instructions of the test.
9. Take the Test in a room with dimmed lights, avoid reflections on the computer screen and other light sources in the field of view.

During the Test you are personally responsible for following all instructions given, both audible and visual. This includes, for example, covering the correct eye and standing the right distance away from the computer screen. Failure to follow instructions may result in an inaccurate and / or incorrect prescription. In this case, we cannot be held liable for the inaccurate and / or incorrect prescription. Please be aware that, if you do not fully comprehend the instructions given, you should not use the Test. You explicitly agree and guarantee to only give truthful answers during the use of the Test. 

 Restrictions of the Test – Eligibility

The Test is available to individuals in the United States between the ages of 18 and 45. The Test is not for people with presbyopia and/or amblyopia. Also, if you use hard contacts, bifocals, have had eye surgery or laser surgery, have painful or irritated eyes, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have other certain comorbidities, including diabetes your eligibility for and the results of the online test will be compromised. The relevant health questions are asked in the test to ensure that you meet our medical criteria.  

Note that you need to have an existing glasses or contact lens prescription and know your current prescription. 

If you receive an updated eyewear prescription as a result of the Test and the Services, we will email you to inform you that your prescription is ready. We will add the prescription information to your Easee account. You may then use that prescription to purchase eyeglasses or contact lenses from anywhere you’d like.

By using the Test, you agree that we may email you to discuss further details of your prescription, such as the need for extra information to help the Eye care professionals to issue an accurate prescription.
