8.1.1 not as described;
8.1.2 not fit for purpose; or
8.1.3 damaged or faulty,

we will provide you with an option to either:

(i) refund the price of the product in full via the method by which you originally paid for such product; or

(ii) obtain a credit to the value of price you paid for the product, which will be applied to your patient account (a credit reimbursement),

in each case together with any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs that you incur in returning the item.

8.1.1 Please note that once your treatment request has been approved by a Doctor, you will be charged and liable for a £8 non-refundable prescription and handling fee in respect of this service.

8.2 Unless you elect for a credit reimbursement, we will refund you by the payment method that you used to pay. If the card that you used to pay with expires before the refund or credit reimbursement is made, please contact the customer service team to provide your new card details.

General Refund DiscretionAll refunds, credit reimbursements, or replacements - including those relating to delivery issues, non-receipt of goods, or service interruptions are granted at our sole discretion. Each claim is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. We reserve the right to refuse a refund or credit request based on our investigation of the situation, including but not limited to carrier data, clinical records, and user activity.

8.10 If your chosen delivery address is not a home or secure work address, e.g. a hotel, or if parcels are diverted at the request of the customer, then this is at your own risk. You will not be entitled to a refund, credit reimbursement or replacement if your order is correctly delivered to that address.

8.11 If the carrier’s tracking GPS evidences that your order was delivered to the correct delivery location, you will not be entitled to a refund, credit reimbursement or replacement on the grounds of non-delivery.

8.15 If you are not present (i.e. not at home) to accept your parcel within the 1hr time slot given by the carrier, and have left no safe place for the carrier to leave your parcel, you are not entitled to a refund, credit reimbursement or replacement on the grounds of non-delivery.

8.16 Parcels (including those containing temperature-controlled medications like Mounjaro) that are delivered to a locker, handed to a chosen neighbour, posted through your letterbox, or left in your chosen safe place are left at your own risk. You will not be entitled to a refund, replacement or credit on the grounds of non-delivery. This includes parcels which are diverted to Parcel Shops or collection points.

8.17 All products are not brand specific, unless stated in either the title or description. Images used are for illustrative purposes only and unless stated, do not dictate the brand you will receive. You are not entitled to a refund, credit reimbursement or replacement if the brand you receive was not desired or if you selected an incorrect medication. This includes if you incorrectly selected a generic medication, when a branded version was required, and vice versa.

8.18 If you request for your parcel to be returned to sender or if you refuse the parcel upon delivery, you are not entitled to a refund.

Missing / Damaged / Dispensing Error

8.19 If an order arrives damaged, with parts of your order missing or if a dispensing error has been made, you must contact us within 14 days of your recorded delivery to organise a refund, credit reimbursement or replacement.

Lost / Undelivered parcels

8.20 If your parcel is marked as delivered but you have not received your order, you must contact us within 14 days of the recorded delivery date.

8.21 If your parcel has had no tracking update within the last 5 days, you must contact us in order to raise an investigation with the carrier. Investigations with carriers can take up to 7 days, so please allow this time for us to try and locate the whereabouts of your parcel.

8.22 You are not entitled to a refund, credit reimbursement or replacement until an investigation has been completed and the carrier has confirmed that the parcel has been lost.

Right of withdrawal

8.23 You have a statutory right to withdraw from an agreement concluded with the Company within 14 days, without giving reasons. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the medication requested.

8.24 Subject to clause 8.6, in the case of a valid withdrawal with regard to Services and/or Products provided, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement (whether by refund or credit reimbursement) without undue delay, and not later than:

8.24.1 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied by the Pharmacy; or
8.24.2 (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods; or
8.24.3 if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

8.25 Subject to cause 8.6, you shall return the goods (without prejudice to the fact that they have been sold and supplied by the Pharmacy) without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

8.26 To exercise the right of withdrawal, please send us an unambiguous statement (by email) in which you notify us of your decision to withdraw from the agreement, within the withdrawal period. You can, but are not obliged to, use the model text below for such notification.
“I hereby inform you that I am withdrawing from the agreement regarding (the booking of) the Prescriber consultation, concluded on [date].

Name consumer:

Address consumer:

Order number:

I am aware that I can no longer exercise my right of withdrawal if the service has already been fully performed. The time of receipt of the statement of withdrawal by UK Meds Direct Limited shall be decisive.”

Exclusions

8.27 The right of withdrawal does not apply to Services which are provided immediately with your consent, such as the Service performed by the Company or the Prescriber. By placing and paying for an order, you explicitly consent to the immediate performance of the Services provided by the Company and the immediate performance of the Prescriber. You waive your statutory reflection period and right of withdrawal as soon as the Company and/or the Prescriber has fully performed the Service. Any medication which is prescribed by the Prescriber is tailored to your personal (medical) situation and your personal need. Therefore, the issued prescription is excluded from the right of withdrawal.

8.28 In accordance with clause 8.6, the right of withdrawal does not exist for sealed medicinal Products, which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery.

9. Cancellation by us

9.1 We may from time to time have to cancel a Service before the provision of such Service has commenced, due to any one of the following:

9.1.1 an Event Outside Our Control, as defined in clause 17; or
9.1.2 the unavailability of any Associate or Medicine, without which we are unable to provide the Service.

9.2 In the event that any Service becomes unavailable pursuant to clause 9.1, we will notify you as soon as is reasonably practicable in writing.

9.3 If we cancel a Service pursuant to clause 9.1 and you have paid in advance but the Medicine or Service has not yet been provided to you, we will provide you with, at your option, either a full refund or credit reimbursement.

9.4 We may cancel a Service request at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice if:

9.4.1 you do not pay us when you are required to; or
9.4.2 you are otherwise in breach of these Terms and you do not remedy your breach within 7 (seven) days of us asking you to in writing, or sooner if reasonably required.

9.5 From time to time, we will request certain information from you which may be confidential and/or covered by data protection legislation, for example, details of any medical conditions. If you do not provide us with this information, or you provide us with incomplete, misleading or incorrect information, we may suspend the provision of the Services or the supply of a Medicine by giving you written notice. We will not be liable for any delay or non-performance where you have not provided this information to us and we will not be obliged to provide you with any refund or credit reimbursement in such circumstances.

10. Unacceptable Use

10.1 We reserve the right to deny you access to our site, or terminate the provision of a Service, including removal of your account and information, immediately upon notice, where we determine that you have materially breached the terms of our Acceptable Use Policy or you have been abusive or have behaved in an inappropriate manner towards any Associate or any employee or agent of ours, including:

10.1.1 using foul language, threatening, inappropriate, abusive, offensive behaviour or remarks;
10.1.2 engaging in any behaviour believed to be time-wasting; or

11.3 You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our site through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and other applicable terms and conditions, including those of the Associates at Parts 2 and 3 of these Terms, and that they comply with them.

Delivery of Medicines

12.1 Medicines will be delivered directly to an address of your choosing. We will inform you of any delivery costs at the time you indicate that you wish to purchase a Medicine and the expected date and time for delivery.

12.2 Medicines will be charged per item prescribed at the price stated on our site at the time of dispensing.

13. Display and availability of Medicines

13.1 Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site, including descriptions of any Medicine or Service, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is accurate, complete or up to date.

However, you acknowledge and agree that the final decision as to the Medicine to be offered to you will always be the Prescriber's.

14. Price of Medicines and Services

14.1 The prices of the Medicines and the Services will be as indicated on our site, and shall include the fees payable to the Prescriber and the Pharmacy. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of the Medicines and the Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto our site.

14.4 The price of a Medicine does not include delivery charges, which shall be as stated on our site before you submit your request for a Medicine.

14.5 Our site contains a large number of Medicines. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of these Medicines may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check our prices as part of the dispatch procedures so that:

14.5.1 where the Medicine’s correct price is lower than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when providing such Medicine to you. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide such Medicine to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and

14.5.2 if the Medicine’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will notify you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing with purchasing the Medicine at the correct price or cancelling the purchase of the Medicine. We will not process your request until we have received your instructions.

15. Making payment

This is done only to confirm your identity. A credit check is not performed and your credit rating will not be affected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with current and applicable data protection legislation.
