The Buyer should take the time to read and check their order at each stage of the order process.

3.2 The Seller will accept the Buyer's order when the Seller confirms to the Buyer that it has been accepted, at which point a Contract will come into existence between Buyer and Seller.

3.3 If the Seller is unable to accept the Buyer's order, the Seller will inform the Buyer in writing and will not raise any charges. An order may not be able to be accepted due a Product being out of stock, unexpected limits on the Seller's resources, issues raised in relation to the prescription added, because the Seller has identified an incorrect price or description of the Product, because the Seller is unable to meet a specified delivery deadline, or because the Buyer has failed to give required information or the Buyer has given false or misleading information. The Seller may suspend the supply of a Product where there are relevant changes of relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

If the Seller discovers an error in the price of the Products the Buyer has ordered, the Seller will contact the Buyer to inform and give the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling the order. The Seller will not process an order until the Buyer gives instructions. Where the Seller cannot contact the Buyer on the contact details provided with the order, the Contract will be cancelled.
