1. provide to You a professional and transparent service in compliance with the guidelines and codes of our Industry Governing Bodies (including in respect of the OOP Online Pharmacist Service);

3. CONTRACT FORMATION & HOW IT WORKS

3.1. Our shopping pages will guide You through the ordering process. Whether it be an order for goods (e.g. Products (including testing kits) and Non-Prescription Medicines) or for services (e.g. the private prescription request services required for POM orders by way of the OOP Online Doctor Service, the assessments required for Pharmacy Medicines by way of the OOP Online Pharmacist Service or Testing Services, once You have completed the purchase process, You will receive an e-mail from Us acknowledging that We have received Your order. However, please note that this does not mean that Your order has been accepted. We will confirm our acceptance to You by sending You an e-mail that confirms that the Products have been dispatched (‘Dispatch Confirmation’) or an email confirming that a request service for any OOP Services has been authorised, prescribed and completed (‘Completion Confirmation’). The Contract between Us will only be formed when We send You the Dispatch Confirmation or in respect of a POM, when Your POM requested has been authorised and prescribed. Professional codes of conduct and legal restrictions may limit the number and frequency of any Medicine We are permitted to supply to You and, as such, We:

1. have no obligation to supply quantities exceeding the relevant permitted maximum and will charge only for those We do supply; and,
2. reserve the right to reject any order for OOP Products & Services.

Notwithstanding this, where Your order is specifically for OOP Services which require the OOP Online Doctor Service and/ or the Testing Services, see Clause 3.2 and 3.3 for more information on how these work.

3.2. If you have ordered a test kit (and such has been approved via the OOP Online Doctor Service, You will receive it in the post, carry out the test at home and return it for assessment. All the details on what to do and how and where to return it to will be included in the test kit. Test results will be uploaded confidentially to your account and the results can be accessed via the Message Centre, which is where We record all of the information regarding Your transactions, including any email correspondence. This ensures everything is easy to access in one secure and discrete location. You will also receive an email notification to alert You that there is a message pending in Your Message Centre. Testing Services cover only those conditions and infections that are specified for that particular Testing Service on the Site. For example, a testing service reliant upon a urine sample will not detect any infections in the throat. All tests that are offered through this Site are from reputable laboratories and are of the standards expected for the clinical purpose but as with all tests, no test can be 100% effective. It is important to follow all the instructions carefully to get a valid result.

3.3. When You use the OOP Online Doctor Service to purchase private prescriptions for POMs. To use this service OOP Service, You will need to tick the box ‘I need a prescription’ when ordering Your POM. This will add the prescription to Your basket. Once You have paid for Your order You will need to complete a secure and confidential mandatory Personal Health Questionnaire to provide the doctor with a full overview of Your situation. The doctor will look at what You have submitted and, based on Your answers, Your prescription will be filled out. It is just like the face-to-face chat You would have with Your GP during a consultation and it is important to be as honest and accurate as possible with Your answers. It is Your responsibility to ensure this information is correct and complete and You accept that failure to do so (whether intentionally or not) will affect the information and advice that is given to You and the NPMs recommended and supplied or the POMs prescribed to You and, as such, may have consequences for which We and our OOP Partner doctors are not responsible. Your OOP Partner doctor will use the information (and photos, if relevant) to make an assessment of Your medical needs.

3.4. If We are unable to accept Your order and fulfil a prescription or supply the Products, NPM or POMs ordered, We will inform You of this and will not charge You for the Product. This might be because they are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which We could not reasonably plan for, because We have identified an error in the price or description of the same, because We are unable to meet a delivery deadline You have specified or because the Product or Medicine is not suitable for dispensing for any other reason. We may inform You that an alternative pharmacy that We have identified has the Product or Medicine available. We can not transfer orders using the Online Doctor Service.

3.5. If, for whatever reason, the doctor will not write a prescription for POMs for You, We will first contact You about Your order. It might be that the doctor wants to ask a few more questions before writing a prescription or it might be that the doctor finds that the Medicine You have ordered is unsuitable, and declines Your request. In any event, We will contact You and give You a full refund.

3.6. For the avoidance of doubt, We are legally only able to dispense POMs for You when We have received either an electronic prescription which has been digitally signed by a prescribing doctor, or alternatively a conventional paper prescription signed in writing by a prescribing doctor. The prescribing doctor can be Your own GP or may be one of the OOP Partner doctors who prescribe prescriptions for our Customers via the OOP Online Doctor Service. Prescriptions are issued entirely at the discretion of the prescriber and OOP cannot guarantee that a request for a prescription made through the NHS Prescription Service or the OOP Online Doctor Service will result in a prescription being prescribed. When We receive a prescription from You, We will verify it against the information provided to Us at the time the order was placed. In the event that the information does not match with Your original order, We may try to contact You using the information in Your registration. If We cannot contact You and We are unable to dispense the Medicine, We reserve the right to return Your prescription to You.

4.2. We will always offer to notify Your GP of any POMs that  have been prescribed, but if You decline to take up our offer to contact Your GP, it is Your responsibility to notify Your GP (see Privacy Policy). If You decide not to notify Your GP, it is important that You keep a record of any POMs that have been prescribed.

7. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

7.1. You can always end Your contract with Us. Your rights when You end the Contract will depend on what You have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how We are performing and when You decide to end the Contract:

1. If what You have bought is faulty or misdescribed You may have a legal right to end the Contract (or to get the Product repaired or the Medicines replaced or to get some or all of Your money back), see Clause 10;
2. If You want to end the Contract because of something We have done or have told You We are going to do, see Clause 7.2;
3. If You have just changed Your mind about a Product or NPM see Clause 7.3. You may be able to get a refund if You are within the 14-day cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and You will have to pay the costs of return of any Products or NPMs;
4. If You have simply changed Your mind about the OOP Online Doctor Service or any other services, You may be able to get a refund if You are within the 14-day cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions depending on how much of the services have already been performed (or completed in which case 100% will be payable – see Clause 7.4(c)); and,
5. In all other cases (if We are not at fault and there is no right to change Your mind), see Clause 7.7.

7.2. If You are ending a Contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the Contract will end immediately and We will refund You in full for any OOP Products & Medicines that have not been provided or performed and You may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

7.3. EXERCISING YOUR RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most Products and NPMs bought online You have a legal right to change Your mind within fourteen (14) Working Days and receive a partial or full refund. These regulations stipulate that You have the right to change Your mind at any time within fourteen (14) Working Days (i) after the day on which You receive the Product or NPMs; or (ii) following the day You placed Your order for the OOP Online Doctor Service or any other services. You are responsible for paying the cost of any returns of Products or NPMs. POM's are not reissued to patients and are therefore not able to be refunded if you change your mind. You can still return them for safe disposal.

7.4. You do not have a right to change Your mind in respect of:

7.5. You have fourteen (14) days after the day You (or someone You nominate) receives the Products or NPMs, unless Your Products or NPMs are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case You have until fourteen (14) days after the day You (or someone You nominate) receives the last delivery to change Your mind about the Products or NPMs.

7.6. For OOP Services, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it’s not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or You can get some money back if We can’t.

7.7. Even if We are not at fault and You do not have a right to change Your mind (see Clause 7.1), You can still end the Contract before it is completed, but You may have to pay Us compensation. A Contract for Products is completed when the Product is delivered and paid for. A Contract for OOP Services begins when You place Your order for them and is completed when the OOP Services are completed i.e. in respect of the OOP Online Doctor Service, this is when Your prescription request for POMs has been considered and (i) granted; or, (ii) is pending pursuant to further enquiry; or, (iii) declined.

8. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (including if You have changed Your mind)

8.1. To end the Contract with Us, please let Us know by one of the following methods:

8.2. If You end the Contract for any reason after Products or NPMs have been dispatched to You or You have received them, You must return them to Us. You must either return the Products by posting them back to Us at Unit 7 Apollo Park, Ironstone Lane, Wroxton OX15 6AY or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow Us to have the choice to collect them from You. Please contact the Customer Services team on 01295 262925 or email [email protected] and We will provide You with information about how to return Your Product or to arrange collection. If You are exercising Your right to change Your mind You must send the Products back to Us within fourteen (14) days of telling Us You wish to end the Contract. Please see our OOP Cancellation & Returns Policy.

8.3. Where the Contract is for the OOP Online Doctor Service, Clause 6.5 and 7.4 (c) shall apply. If You cancel the OOP Services after We have started them, You must pay us for the OOP Services provided up until the time You tell Us that You have changed Your mind.

8.4. In all circumstances You must pay the costs of return unless:

8.5. If You are responsible for the costs of return and We are collecting the Product or NPMs from You, We will charge You the direct cost to Us of collection.

8.6. We will refund You the price You paid for the Products or NPMs including delivery costs, by the method You used for payment. However, We may make deductions from the price, as described in Clause 8.7.

8.8. We will make any refunds due to You as soon as possible. If You are exercising Your right to change Your mind then:

9. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

9.1. We may end the Contract for a Product at any time by writing to You if:

9.2. We may need certain information from You so that We can supply the Products or Medicines to You i.e. where You have utilised the OOP Online Doctor Service and the OOP Partner doctor requires further information prior to prescribing for You. You will be contacted for this information. If You do not give Us this information within a reasonable time of Us asking for it, or if You give Us incomplete or incorrect information, We may either end the Contract (and Clause 9.3 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate Us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Products or Medicines late or for not supplying any part of them if this is caused by You not giving Us the information We need within a reasonable time of Us asking for it.

9.3. If We end the Contract in the situations set out in Clause 9.1 and 9.2, We will refund any money You have paid in advance for OOP Products & Services that We have not provided but We may deduct or charge You reasonable compensation for the net costs We will incur as a result of Your breaking the Contract where the Contract includes the OOP Online Doctor Service.

10. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT OR MEDICINE YOU RECEIVE FROM US

10.1. We are under a legal duty to supply Products and Medicines that are in conformity with this Contract. Nothing in these Terms will affect Your legal rights. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says Products must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. In the unlikely event that You receive a Product or Medicine which is not what You ordered or which is damaged or defective, or the wrong quantity is received, We shall make good any shortage or non-delivery, replace or repair any damaged or defective Product (or Medicine as applicable), or refund to You the amount You paid for the Product or Medicine. During the expected lifespan of Your Product or Medicine Your legal rights entitle You to up to thirty (30) days if Your Products are damaged or faulty.

10.2. If You wish to exercise Your legal rights to reject Products You must post them back to Us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow Us to collect them from You unless We inform You that returning or collecting is not necessary.

This provision does not affect Your statutory rights.

10.3. POMs: If You have been provided with the wrong POMs or upon receipt of delivery, the packaging is damaged or could have been tampered with, please let Us know immediately and do not use them. We shall advise You in regards to the appropriate disposal and re-ordering. If You have paid for Your POMs, You will be refunded any amounts due if the POMs are wrong, damaged or faulty. You are not otherwise entitled to cancel an order for a POM and receive a refund if You simply change Your mind.

11. OOP LIABILITY

If We fail to comply with these Terms, We are responsible for loss or damage You suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, but We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

11.2. We only supply the Products and Medicines for domestic, private and consumer use.
