Couldnt really find a suitable board for this, so general chat will do!

Regarding the competitor rules on this site, is it allowed to direct to a competitor if OCUK does not stock the specific item?

Thanks!

no linking or mentioning competitors at all

Not normally, if they some what Ocuk sell then they tend to be classed as a competitor, but some common sense is used with the some high street stores.
