Payments and refunds
When you pay
When you submit card details, we request a temporary authorisation for the order amount. An authorisation is not a completed charge. We capture the authorised amount only after a qualified prescriber has approved treatment and the approved order is confirmed as able to proceed.
If treatment is declined, stock is unavailable, the order cannot be fulfilled, or the authorisation expires before capture, we release or void the authorisation. Your bank controls how quickly released funds become available again.
What's included
The total price and everything included in your treatment plan are shown before payment is completed.
Refunds
- If we cannot fulfil before capture, we release the authorisation; if capture has already completed, we will refund the relevant amount
- If you change your mind before we dispatch your order, contact us and we'll try to help
- Once medication has been dispatched, we generally cannot accept returns (for safety and regulatory reasons)
- If you receive damaged or incorrect medication, contact us immediately
Our responsibility to you
