Services Provided

We offer an online communication platform for you to engage with us via our Platform through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technology and other communication tools. Our Platform facilitates communication between you and us to enable us to provide the Services and the Products.

Not for Emergencies

The Services and Products that are accessible via our Platform are not suitable for emergency medical treatment. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD CALL 999 IMMEDIATELY.

You should not disregard or delay seeking medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on our Platform.

You should continue to consult with your GP and other healthcare professionals, as recommended by them or us.

Risks of Telehealth Services

  • Information transmitted may not be sufficient (e.g. poor resolution of images) to allow us to make appropriate medical or healthcare decisions
  • Delays in evaluation or treatment could occur due to failures of electronic equipment
  • A lack of access to your medical records (for instance if, when requested, you deny us consent to access your summary care records) may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors
  • Although the electronic systems that we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information

Prescription Policy

We do not endorse any specific POM Product.

If a POM Product is prescribed for you by your GP or a pharmacist independent prescriber who is employed or engaged by us, they will limit its supply based upon relevant law and guidance and will only prescribe a POM Product as determined in their own clinical discretion and professional judgement.

We give no guarantee that any prescription that you order via our Platform will be issued to you.

You acknowledge and agree that any prescriptions that you acquire from us which you have ordered via our Platform will be solely for your personal use.

You agree to fully and carefully read all provided Product information and labels and to contact us or your GP if you have any questions regarding the prescription.

ORDERING AND PURCHASING OF SERVICES

Subscription Terms

Subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription in relation to certain Services and Products, your subscription is continuous and will be automatically renewed at the end of the applicable subscription period, unless you pause your subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period by clicking pause in your patient profile.

The price for your subscription may change from time to time and, in such circumstances, we will use reasonable endeavours to communicate any price changes to you in advance. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Services or to accept the Products after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing prior to the price change taking effect.

Typographical Errors

In the event any information (including any pricing of any Product or Service) on our Platform is incorrect due to typographical error or error in pricing information received from a third party, we have the right to refuse or cancel any orders that have been placed at that incorrect price. We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your Patient Account has been charged. If your Patient Account has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, we will promptly issue a credit to your Patient Account for the amount of the charge.

Online Payments

We accept any payment method or system that is authorised within the UK, including direct debit, debit and credit cards, and third-party platforms. If a credit card account is being used for a transaction, we may obtain pre-approval for an amount up to the amount of the payment. If you enrol to make recurring payments automatically, all charges and fees will be billed to the Patient Account that you designate during the registration process on our Platform. If you want to designate a different payment method or if there is a change affecting your payment method or system (e.g. if you want to change your credit or debit card), you must change your information online. This may temporarily delay your ability to make online payments while we verify your new payment information.

You represent and warrant that, if you are making online payments:

  • any payment account information that you supply is true, correct, and complete;
  • charges incurred by you will be honoured by the relevant institution;
  • you will pay the charges incurred by you in the amounts posted, including, without limitation, any applicable taxes; and
  • you are the person in whose name the payment method was issued and you are authorised to make a purchase or other transaction with the relevant payment method.

You will be given the option to add several payment methods to your Patient Account as payment options, with one of them as your default option. If payment from your default option is not authorised or fails, we will automatically attempt to take payment from one of the other payment methods that you have registered with your Patient Account.

Consent for Recurring Charges

You agree and authorise the payment method to be billed automatically for the Services and Products, according to the published pricing on our Platform, which is subject to change at any time. If we are unable to secure funds from your payment method for any reason, including, but not limited to, insufficient funds in the payment account or insufficient or inaccurate information having been provided by you when submitting electronic payment, we may undertake further collection action, including application of fees to the extent permitted by law.

You have the right to revoke this authorisation by logging into your Patient Account and pausing your subscription up to 24 hours prior to your next scheduled renewal.

Right of Withdrawal / Cancellation

As a consumer entering into a distance or off-premises contract with a trader, you have certain statutory rights of cancellation pursuant to Regulation 29 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“CCR”). This right is, however, subject to certain exceptions, including pursuant to Regulations 27(2)(a) and (b) of the CCRs:

  • (a) contracts for supply of a medicinal product by administration by a prescriber, or under a prescription or directions given by a prescriber; and
  • (b) contracts for supply of a product by a healthcare professional or a person included in a relevant list, under arrangements for the supply of services as part of the health service, where the product is one that, at least in some circumstances, is available under such arrangements free or on prescription, to which this statutory right of cancellation does not apply.

As such, contracts which result in the supply of POM Products cannot be cancelled in accordance with Regulation 29 CCR and, once dispatched, cannot therefore be returned, exchanged or refunded under such statutory provision. However, you have the right to reasonably inspect your POM Products, as you would in a shop, but you cannot return POM Products that you have used, unless you are returning them because they are damaged or faulty.

For Products that are not medicinal products, such as certain OTC Products, you have the right to cancel any transaction made online within 14 (fourteen) days of the relevant transaction. You must return any such OTC Products received within 14 (fourteen) days of receipt, it being noted that any return within 14 (fourteen) days of the relevant transaction shall be deemed to comply with this requirement. You may not return any OTC Product that has been opened, and you shall not be refunded should we receive any returned OTC Product that has been opened. The same shall apply for any Services that have been provided prior to or at the same time as your cancellation.

Shipping the Products

All POM Products that you order from us via our Platform will be dispatched to you either directly by us or via a third-party carrier who we engage to provide delivery services (e.g. DHL, DPD, Yodel, Evri/Hermes etc).

ELIGIBILITY, PLATFORM ACCESS, SECURITY AND RESTRICTIONS

You agree to fully, accurately, and truthfully create your Patient Account, including but not limited to: your name; mailing address; phone number; email address; and password, which become your Patient Account ID and credentials. The Patient Account ID or credentials are personal to you, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Patient Account ID or credentials, and for all activities that occur under such Patient Account ID or credentials. You agree to prohibit anyone else from using your Patient Account ID or credentials and agree to immediately notify us of any actual or suspected unauthorised use of your Patient Account ID or credentials or other security concerns of which you become aware.

If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential. You must not disclose it to any third party.

We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, and to revoke your access to our Platform and your Patient Account if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of these Terms.
