3. HOW TO MAKE AN ORDER WITH US

3.1 HOW WE WILL ACCEPT YOUR ORDER FOR MEDICATION

Our acceptance of your prescription will take place when we email you to accept it albeit that preparation of your order will not commence until we have received your prescription and you have paid for it pursuant to point 4.1.

3.2 IF WE CANNOT ACCEPT YOUR ORDER

If we are unable to accept the order, we will inform you of this via email and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected delays or problems with third party suppliers which we could not reasonably plan for or because we have identified an error in the prescription. In such instances the prescription can be returned to patient or prescriber.

3.3 PRESCRIPTION VALIDITY

For most medications, a private prescription will be valid for six months from the time of writing. Where the prescription contains certain controlled drugs, a private prescription is only valid for twenty-eight days from the time of writing. This means that an order for medication must be made within this timeframe. Newgrove Pharmacy cannot take orders for a prescription that is no longer valid.

We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4. PAYMENT & CHARGES

4.1 OVERVIEW

Newgrove Pharmacy provides medication for patients based on their individual prescriptions. Therefore patients must pay for their medication before it will be prepared and an order cannot be cancelled once paid for. Only once you have paid for your prescription will a contract come into existence between you and Newgrove Pharmacy and until such time as (i) your order has been accepted (ii) your prescription has been received and (iii) payment for that prescription has been made, we will not have any liability to you and it will be your responsibility to contact us within twenty-eight days regarding any order you may have placed through our website if there is any delay.

In providing payment card details, you authorise Newgrove Pharmacy to take payment in full for the applicable prescription charges, postage and packing charges and any other charges that become due to us under these terms. Where you may be entitled to a refund, it will only be made using the payment gateway and/or card originally used for payment.

5. MEDICATION DELIVERY

5.1 NO RETAIL OUTLET

Newgrove Pharmacy does not have a retail outlet and we are only able to take orders directly from your GP or clinic or via a prescription you supply via post. Once dispensed, medications will be posted to the patient using the delivery method agreed at the time of the order.

5.2 DELIVERY TIMES

At the point of confirming acceptance of your order, we will endeavour to confirm the delivery time and charges for your order. These will depend on the product ordered and its availability. If we are unable to confirm details on acceptance of your order, we will do so as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

Delivery will be via trackable courier and will require a doorstep signature. Once the package is signed for, our responsibility for the delivery ends.

Due to the nature of the products being supplied from our pharmacy, there is no option for the courier to leave in a safe space, even if you request this.

Considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, if you are isolating or do not wish to sign for the product from the courier please inform the person delivering your package. They will sign for you with their specific Covid-19 signature and may take a photograph of the delivery being handed to you to prove receipt. This signature or photograph will be taken as the product being delivered to you.

5.4 IF YOU ARE NOT AT HOME WHEN YOUR ORDER IS DELIVERED

If no one is available at the nominated address to take delivery, the products cannot be posted through your letterbox. Our courier provider will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.

5.5 IF YOU DO NOT RE-ARRANGE DELIVERY

If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection, the product will be returned to the pharmacy and we may end the contract and you will still be charged for your order.
