Local Laws

We do not accept any liability arising from you attempting to purchase or any subsequent delivery of Products if such action is prohibited or illegal where you are ordering from or having the Products delivered to. Legal advice should be taken in cases of doubt and you shall remain wholly responsible for ensuring that you are permitted to purchase our Products from where you access the Site from and import them. You are wholly responsible for any duty or import charges once the product has left our premises.


Your Status

To place an order on the Site you must be:
(a) legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
(b) at least 18 years old, unless a parent or guardian is supervising you placing your order.


Product Purchase & Contract Information

After placing an order through our Site (or an order by telephone or post where you provide an email address), you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. We will confirm dispatch of your order to you by sending you an e-mail confirming that the Product has been dispatched (the “Dispatch Confirmation”).

The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we take payment from you.

We may decline to accept an order in circumstances including but not limited to:
(a) your payment has not been authorised;
(b) you do not satisfy the status requirements set out above;
(c) Product(s) ordered are not available from stock and/or suppliers; or
(d) where a pricing or product description error has occurred.

We reserve the right to cancel orders without prior notice. If we cancel any order, it will be without charge to you and any payment taken for such order will be refunded to you in accordance with our Refund Policy set out below.


Cancellation of a Contract

If you would like to cancel a Contract, you may notify us that you would like us to do so within 7 calendar days of receipt of your order. Please notify us in writing at info@dermatology-m.co.uk so we can consider the cancellation.

Goods have to be returned to us unopened and unused and in their original, undamaged packaging before we can issue a refund. We are afraid we cannot be liable for costs of sending and packaging returned items.

Cancellation of contract is not possible for custom made and/or individually prepared items.


Risk & Title

The Products will be at your risk from the time they leave out premises and are delivered to you. Ownership of the Products will pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.


Price & Payment

The price of any Products will be as quoted on the Site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

Prices include VAT but exclude any delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due. More information about our delivery charges can be found in our Delivery section.

Unless otherwise stated, promotional codes (including any displayed or offered by third parties) cannot be used against purchases of Gift Vouchers, E-Vouchers, Courses or Therapies or redeemed against delivery charges.

Prices are liable to change at any time without prior notice, but changes will not affect orders for which we have already issued a Dispatch Confirmation.

Despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our Site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have confirmed your order or sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card, using e-vouchers (website only) or gift vouchers (mail order only). We accept payment by all major credit and debit cards.


Practitioner Discount

Practitioners and students please register a Practitioner’s Account and access our Login site to access the Practitioners & Student Discount Scheme for larger orders.

Nothing in these Product Terms is intended to limit or exclude any statutory rights you may have as a consumer (if any) or limit our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, nor our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or misrepresentation as to a fundamental matter, nor any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

These disclaimers and exclusions shall be governed by English law. If any provisions of these disclaimers and exclusions are deemed to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.


Miscellaneous

Nothing within the Site or materials accessed via the Site, other than the Product Terms, is intended to form any binding contract. In particular, notes on products are stated on an ‘invitation to treat’ basis (i.e. they are not offers which will become binding upon purported acceptance by you) and are ‘subject to availability’.

These terms and any document expressly referred to in them represent the entire agreement between us and supersede any previous agreement, understanding or arrangement between us. In entering into a Contract, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other before the Contract except as expressly stated in these terms.


Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

The English courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising from, or related to, a visit to our Site although we retain the right to bring proceedings against you for breach of these conditions in your country of residence or any other relevant country.

These terms and any dispute or claim arising out of, or in connection with them or their subject matter, or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England.
