4. Information and Advice

The information and advice provided by Simple Online Pharmacy when you use the service is based on the information you have supplied to us. It is your responsibility to ensure this information is accurate and you accept that failure to do so (whether intentionally or not) will affect the information and advice we give to you and the medicines we supply to you and, as such, may have consequences for which we are not responsible.

We also use this information to ensure we ship the medication to the right address. It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct shipping address is provided. 

Whilst we will do our best to meet and specific brand requirements, we cannot guarantee that we can send you the brand of your choosing.

5. Pricing

All prices on this website are in GBP and include VAT unless expressly stated otherwise. We take care to ensure that all pricing information on our website is accurate but occasionally there may be an error. In the event that an error has occurred and the price charged is too high, we will identify all those that have overpaid and refund the difference.

6. Completed Orders

When you place an order for medicines or engage in a service that includes the prescribing of medicines, we must assess your clinical suitability before the medicines can be approved for supply. By placing an order, you consent to us beginning this assessment immediately. We will validate your identity using a specialist ID checking service. In the event that we are unable to validate your identity, we may require more information and will get in touch to request this. Our clinical team may reach out to you for further information to ensure the medication is safe and suitable for you, and we may also need to speak to you in person. We are unable to ship medication until the ID check and clinical assessment is complete and clinically approved. There may therefore be time delays in dispatching your order as a result of these follow ups.  You acknowledge that the dispatch of your order may be delayed whilst completing all ID and clinical checks, and that you will be available to receive and sign for the delivery following dispatch, if the dispatch is delayed for any reason.

According to the requirements of the UK medicines regulator (MHRA), we are unable to reuse or resell any dispensed medication. This policy also applies to sealed medication that has left our premises. We therefore cannot accommodate patient requested changes, cancellations or returns once your order has been placed, unless required by our clinical team to ensure safe and suitable supply. 

7. Concluding a Binding Contract

When we receive an order from you to purchase goods or services from us, we will confirm that we have received the order by sending a confirmation email to the contact email address that you supplied. Professional codes of conduct and legal restrictions may limit the number and frequency of any item we are permitted to supply to you and, as such, we have no obligation to supply quantities exceeding the relevant permitted maximum and will charge only for those we do supply. We reserve the right to reject any order.

8. Payment

In providing payment card details, you confirm that you are authorised to use the card and authorise us, or our payment service provider, to take payment in full for the items in your order and any associated postage and packaging fees and any other charges that become due to us under these terms and conditions.

9. Authorisation of Orders for Medicines

Our doctors can only make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the patient to receive a medicine when the doctor has all relevant information. On occasion, this may require the doctor to ask the patient for additional information further to the information that was provided in response to an online questionnaire.

10. Postage Costs

Postage and packaging is charged on all orders of medicines that are sent in the post. The different costs associated with postage can be seen under 'Delivery' on our website.

11. Delivery of Orders

Our pharmacy will dispense all medicines. Medicines will be dispatched normally within 1-2 working days of the doctor and pharmacist authorising the prescription. Our clinical team may have additional follow up questions and may wish to speak in person to discuss a medication or condition with you. This may delay approval and dispatch of your order.  All medicines for delivery by post are sent using one of our courier partners, either on a Next Day Delivery service, an Express Fridge Service, or standard delivery, depending on what is selected with the order and appropriate for the medication. All medication deliveries must be signed for, and it is the patient’s responsibility to ensure they are available to receive the medication delivery in person. We ensure our couriers issue tracking details upon receipt of the parcel and it is the patient’s responsibility to liaise with the courier to ensure they receive their package. We take no responsibility for orders that aren’t delivered because the patient was not present at the registered address to receive the delivery.

It is your responsibility to ensure your address is correct, complete and up to date in advance of placing your order, particularly when repeat ordering. Whilst we will work with you to try and ensure any updates and amendments are made to the delivery address after an order is made, we cannot take responsibility for shipments to a wrong address, or not completed if the address is wrong or incomplete when the order is placed.

For Express Fridgeline deliveries, products are shipped in temperature controlled packaging, which has been mapped to maintain the product at fridge temperature for over 48 hours. If the first delivery attempt fails, a second attempt will be made. We will share specific information along with the order on storage and use of fridgeline products. It is the responsibility of the patient to ensure they read and comply with storage and usage instructions.

12. Returns Policy

According to the requirements of the UK medicines regulator (MHRA), we are unable to reuse or resell any dispensed medication. This policy also applies to sealed medication that has left our premises. We therefore cannot accommodate patient requested changes, cancellations or returns once your order has been placed, unless required by our clinical team to ensure safe and suitable supply.  Our pharmacy is not able to use returned medication, which means that we cannot issue a refund on any returned medication. If you do have unwanted medication from an order placed with our pharmacy, please contact us and we can arrange for you to safely send the medication back to us for disposal.

If you believe that there has been an error made with your order, and the medication sent to you is incorrect, please contact our Patient Care Team upon receipt of the order. In the event of incorrect medication being sent to you, we will be more than happy to work towards a resolution that suits you best.

If you have concerns about the condition of your medication upon receipt, please get in touch with our Patient Care Team in the first instance and they will work with you on a resolution.

 For returns relating to an NHS order, please contact our Patient Care Team.

13. Refunds Policy

In the case that our clinical team reject your order, your refund will automatically be processed within 5-10 business days, but in some cases can take up to 14 days. We want you to be happy with your purchase - if you're not, please contact our Patient Care Team to let us know and we'll be happy to resolve any issues.

The person signing for medicines does not need to be the named patient. You acknowledge and accept that we have no control over the courier service, and we have no liability in respect of items that are not received by you after we have dispatched them. It is your responsibility to ensure that the person signing for the medicines delivers them to you.
