The Contract

These Terms and Conditions govern the sale of Goods and the sale and provision of Services by Us and will form the basis of the Contract between Us and you. Before submitting an Order, please ensure you have read these Terms and Conditions and any Pre-Contract Information carefully. If you are unsure about any part of these Terms and Conditions, please ask Us for clarification.

Nothing provided by Us including, but not limited to, sales and marketing literature, price lists and other documents constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your Order constitutes a contractual offer that We may, at our discretion, accept.

A legally binding contract between Us and you will be created upon our acceptance of your Order, indicated by Our Order Confirmation. Order Confirmations will be provided in writing by email.

We shall ensure the following information is given or made available to you prior to the formation of the Contract between Us and you, save for where such information is already apparent from the context of the transaction:

  • The main characteristics of the Goods and/or Services;
  • Our identity and contact details;
  • The total Price for the Goods and/or Services including taxes;
  • The arrangements for payment, performance and the time by which (or within which) We undertake to deliver the Goods and/or perform the Services;
  • Our complaints handling policy;
  • Where applicable, details of after-sales services and commercial guarantees; and
  • The duration of the Contract, where applicable, or if the Contract is of indeterminate duration or is to be extended automatically, the conditions for terminating the Contract.

When you place your Order, you must answer a series of questions and provide Us with information about your health and condition. When We enter into the Contract with you, we rely in good faith on your answers to those questions and the information you provide. A failure to answer truthfully or providing incomplete, inaccurate or outdated information could have severe or life-threatening consequences. It is therefore vital for your health and wellbeing that you answer the questions truthfully and that all information you provide is complete, up-to-date and accurate. If you do not do so, We will not be responsible for any loss, damage or injury you suffer as a result of purchasing Goods and/or Services from Us but you will be responsible to Us for all losses, damages, fines, penalties and costs (including, but not limited to, legal costs) We suffer because of your actions.

Our website is neither designed nor suitable for the treatment and/or management of a medical emergency, any acute condition, any condition that warrants diagnosis or treatment in person, or where diagnosis or treatment is required urgently. You place your Order on the bases that the information provided on Our website is not intended to replace advice provided to you by your GP, and that you should always consult with your GP about the Goods and/or Services supplied through Our site.

 

Orders

All Orders for Goods and/or Services made by you will be subject to these Terms and Conditions.

You may change your Order at any time before We dispatch the Goods or begin providing the Services by contacting Us in writing.

If your Order is changed, We will inform you of any change to the Price in writing. The prescriber may wish to change the dose and strength of the treatment, dependant upon your consultation. 

We may cancel your Order at any time before We dispatch the Goods and/or begin providing the Services due to the unavailability of stock, the unavailability of the required personnel or materials, due to the occurrence of an event outside of Our reasonable control, or if the prescriber assessing your consultation does not deem the medication you have requested to be clinically appropriate. If such cancellation is necessary, We will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible.  If you have made any payments to Us, the payment(s) will be refunded within 14 days of Us informing you of the cancellation and made via the same payment method originally used by you. Cancellations will be confirmed in writing.

Pictures are for illustration purposes only. We cannot guarantee that you will receive the same generic brand of medication as shown on our website. If you require a particular generic medication produced by a certain manufacturer, please let Us know before placing your order, and we can confirm availability.

 

Price and payment

The Price of the Goods and/or Services will be that shown on Our website in place at the time of your Order. If the Price shown in your Order differs from Our current Price We will inform you upon receipt of your Order.

If We offer a Special Price which is different to the Price shown on Our website, the Special Price will be valid for the period shown on Our website. Orders placed during this period will be accepted at the Special Price even if We do not accept the Order until after the period has expired.

Our Prices may change at any time, but these changes will not affect Orders We have already accepted.

All Prices (excluding prescription items) include applicable VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Order and the date of your payment, We will adjust the rate of VAT that you must pay. Changes in VAT will not affect any Prices where We have already received full payment from you.

We have made every reasonable effort to ensure that Our Prices, as shown on Our website are correct. Prices will be checked when We process your Order. If the correct Price of the Goods and/or Services is lower than that shown on Our website, you will be charged the lower Price. If the correct Price of the Goods and/or Services is higher than that shown on Our website, We will inform you and ask you how you wish to proceed.

Our Prices for Goods do not include the cost of delivery. We normally offer standard and premium delivery options; however, your choices may be limited for certain Goods owing to the nature or characteristics of those Goods. The cost of your chosen delivery method will be added on to the final sum due.

All payments for Goods and/or Services must be made in full, in advance, before We will dispatch the Goods to you and/or start to provide the Services.

Where We have tried to contact You regarding an Order query, or to clarify details in relation to your Order, you will be refunded 1 month after not hearing back. This will incur an admin fee of £5.00, which will be deducted from the amount that is owed to you by way of refund.

The price checker is for reference purposes only, so that You can check the cost of medication. Your order will only be processed if is deemed to be safe and clinically appropriate by the on-duty prescriber at the time. Orders that are rejected by the prescriber will be refunded.

 

Delivery of Goods

Delivery of Goods is only possible within the United Kingdom.

When We send you an Order Confirmation, We will provide an estimated delivery date. Estimated delivery dates may vary according to the availability of Goods and/or your location. In any event, subject to any circumstances beyond Our control, and subject to any longer period to which you agree when placing your Order (for Goods that We stock only on demand, for example), Goods will be delivered to you no more than 30 days after the date the Contract is formed.

Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Goods have been received by you (or another person identified by you) at your chosen delivery address.

If for any reason Our Chosen Carrier is unable to deliver the Goods at your chosen delivery address, Our Chosen Carrier will leave a note informing you that the Goods have been returned to the Chosen Carrier's distribution centre, requesting that you contact them to arrange re-delivery or collection. In the event that the delivery driver has failed to provide a written note, We cannot take responsibility for any failures on behalf of Our delivery partners. It is your responsibility to ascertain the whereabouts of your Goods, if they have not been delivered within the specified timeframe.  

You own the Goods once We have received payment in full for them.

In the case of a missing Order, you agree to give consent for Us to provide the details of your Order to Our delivery partners to allow them to conduct their investigations. A replacement order may be sent out, if the investigation concludes that the order has been misplaced. Orders cannot be sent out before the investigation is concluded. 

Where We have notified You of a disruption to delivery services, You will not be eligible for a replacement item or refund, until 28 working days have been exceeded, since the date of dispatch. 

 

Providing the Services

As required by law, We will provide the Services with reasonable skill and care, consistent with best practices and standards in the dispensing pharmacy sector, and in accordance with any information provided by Us about the Services and about Us.

We will begin providing the Services on the date confirmed in Our Order Confirmation.

We will make every reasonable effort to complete the Services on time (and in accordance with your Order). We cannot, however, be held responsible for any delays if an event outside of Our control occurs.

If We require any information or action from you in order to provide the Services, We will inform you of this as soon as is reasonably possible.

If the information or action required of you is delayed, incomplete or otherwise incorrect, We will not be responsible for any delay caused as a result. If additional work is required from Us to correct or compensate for a mistake made as a result of incomplete or otherwise incorrect information or action on your part, We may charge you a reasonable additional sum for that work.

In certain circumstances, for example where there is a delay in you sending Us information or taking action required, We may suspend the Services, and We will inform you of that suspension in writing.

In certain circumstances, for example where We encounter a technical problem, We may need to suspend the Services in order to resolve the issue. Unless the issue is an emergency and requires immediate attention, We will inform you in advance in writing before suspending the Services.

If the Services are suspended, you will not be required to pay for them during the period of suspension. You must, however, pay any invoices you have already received from Us by their due date(s).

If you do not pay Us for the Services as required, We may suspend the Services until you have paid all outstanding sums due. If this happens, We will inform you in writing.

 

Problems with the Services and your legal rights

We always use reasonable efforts to ensure Our provision of the Services is trouble-free. If, however, there is a problem with the Services We request that you inform Us in writing as soon as is reasonably possible.

We will use reasonable efforts to remedy problems with the Services as quickly as is reasonably possible and practical.

We will not charge you for remedying problems under this Clause where the problems have been caused by Us, any of our agents or employees or sub-contractors or where nobody is at fault. If We determine that a problem has been caused by incorrect or incomplete information or action provided or taken by you, We may charge you for remedial work.

As a consumer, you have certain legal rights with respect to the purchase of services. If We do not perform the Services with reasonable skill and care, you have the right to request repeat performance or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time without inconvenience to you, you have the right to a reduction in price. If the Services are not performed in line with information We have provided about them, you also have the right to request repeat performance or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time without inconvenience to you (or if Our breach concerns information about Us that does not relate to the performance of the Services), you have the right to a reduction in price. If for any reason We are required to repeat the Services in accordance with your legal rights, We will not charge you for the same and We will bear any and all costs of such repeat performance. In cases where a price reduction applies, this may be any sum up to the full Price and, where you have already made payment(s) to Us, may result in a full or partial refund. Any such refunds will be issued within 14 days starting on the date on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund and made via the same payment method originally used by you. In addition to your legal rights relating directly to the Services, You also have remedies if We use materials that are faulty or incorrectly described. For full details of your legal rights and guidance on exercising them, contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office. 

 

Description and specification of Goods

We make every reasonable effort to ensure the Goods conform to illustrations, photographs and descriptions provided on Our website. We cannot, however, guarantee that all descriptions, illustrations and/or photographs will be precisely accurate. Nothing, however, excludes Our liability for mistakes due to negligence on Our part.

If We find, or are made aware of, any typographical, clerical or other accidental errors or omissions in any website copy, verbal descriptions, sales and marketing literature, price lists or any other information, We will make every reasonable effort to correct such errors or omissions as soon as is reasonably possible. If, as a result of any such error or omission, you have received the wrong Goods, you may return the Goods to Us as provided in the Returns & Refund Policy. If as a result of any such error or omission, you have paid too much, We will refund the excess paid for the Goods within 14 days via the same payment method originally used by you.

We may make any changes in the specification of the Goods that may be required to conform to any applicable safety or other legal or regulatory requirements without notice.
