You must have the expressed permission of the account holder to use their account on their behalf. You must not create multiple accounts or make accounts on behalf of any groups or entities.

Age restriction
You must be 18 years of age to use our services.
Identity Checks
In order to meet our regulatory obligations, we must ensure that users of our services are genuine and over the age of 18. To do this we verify your identity automatically if you make a purchase with us. We use a third-party partner for these checks, who verify the data you provide against public databases such as the electoral roll.
The information shared with our partner for this purpose is your name, date of birth, and address.
If these automatic checks fail, and we are unable to verify your identity you will receive an email stating this. We will ask for a copy of the relevant ID such as a driving license or passport. These are stored securely.
If We Must Reject Your Order
Once an order is made, we reserve the right to reject it. For instance, if we are unable to verify your identity, we must reject your order. However, we may reject your order for any reason, such as suspected fraud or inaccuracies in the information provided to us.
The decision to issue a prescription always rests with the independent prescribers when issuing a private prescription and pharmacists when choosing over-the-counter medicines. Sometimes our prescribers will need to get more information about your health to fully assess your suitability for treatment. You will receive an email in these circumstances. If you do not respond in a timely manner, we must reject your order.
Sometimes the prescribers will decide that a treatment is not suitable for you, the frequency of the supply is too high or for any other clinical reason. In these cases, we must reject your order. We might also reject your order because of stock availability, operational difficulties, pricing errors, product description errors, not delivering to your location or if it is likely we will not be able to meet delivery targets.
In the event that your order is rejected, we will issue you a full refund.
Making Changes
You must contact us as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your order. We will try to accommodate changes whenever possible and in a timely manner. If this is not possible you may wish to end the contract with us, please see “ending this contract” below.
Please keep in mind that we are unable to offer refunds on medicines that have been shipped from our pharmacy, therefore it is important that you let us know as soon as possible if you wish to make changes to an order.
We reserve the right to make changes to our products or services at any time. For instance, this may be to meet regulatory requirement changes, relevant changes in law, stock availability, or on account of internal safety audits.
Delivery
All our products are delivered via Royal Mail. If size allows, the items will be put through your letterbox. Tracked 24 and Tracked 48 services do not require a signature, whilst Special delivery parcels may require you to sign for the delivery. By agreeing to order with us, you confirm that no children or pets might have access to delivered products left anywhere on your premises. If a delivery is not successful, it is your responsibility to reschedule a delivery or collect your product from the delivery depot. If an uncollected item is left undelivered and finally sent back to us, we will attempt to contact you to arrange a redelivery.
We will aim to deliver the products to you as soon as possible unless otherwise notified. It is possible that your delivery may be delayed, often due to factors outside our control. In the event that we are aware of this, we will aim to let you know as soon as possible. We will aim to take action to resolve these issues and ensure the best standard of service. If there is a likelihood of a very long delay to delivery, we may end the contract and refund your order.
In some instances, we may upgrade your delivery type to ensure you receive your order in a timely manner. You will not be charged for this.
In some instances, our prescribers can delay the shipment of your product based on clinical grounds such as the medication not being due or your order frequency being too high. In these circumstances, you will be notified of this and will have the choice of a full refund instead.
In some instances, and at the discretion of our pharmacists we will combine orders from the same account and going to the same destination into one parcel.
If you have any issues with the delivery of your product, please contact us within 14 days of the expected delivery date at info@onlinechemistuk.net. We will be unable to help you if your item tracking details state the item has been delivered and you are contacting us 14 days after the date of your stated delivery.

Refunds Policy
We cannot accept returns of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medication. This is for safety reasons. Any unwanted or unused medication should be taken to a local pharmacy to be disposed of.
Because of this, we are unable to offer refunds for medicines that have been shipped to you. For prescription-only-medicine (POM) orders you wish to cancel, you must let us know before our prescribers approve the prescription to receive a refund.
For orders of non-medical products, you will have 14 days to change your mind about the product. This 14-day period starts from when you receive the product, or when the product is shipped in instalments, 14 days from the date of receiving the last instalment. Some non-medical products are exempt from this, such as sealed products which are not suitable for return.
In the event that a product is damaged or defective, or we have sent the wrong product to you we will accept returns on the product. We are unable to reimburse you for the cost of returning it to us. We will replace the product or issue a refund.
Making a Complaint
We have an internal complaints procedure for handling customer complaints. We will make sure a relevant line manager is made aware of your complaint in a timely manner.

This includes any indirect or consequential loss. We supply products and services only to individuals for private use and do not supply any of our services or products to businesses.
