THE ORDERING PROCESS
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 paragraph 4.1
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept the order, we will contact you by telephone to inform you of this. If you are not contactable we will also send an 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 we will return your prescription to you.
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 timescale. Mamedica Dispensary cannot take orders for a prescription that is no longer valid.
Your order number. 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.
PAYMENT & CHARGES
Mamedica Dispensary 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 Mamedica Dispensary 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 30 days regarding any order you may have placed through our website if there is any delay.
Charges. In addition to being charged for the products ordered, you may also be charged for postage and packaging of your medication. The total amount of charges payable by you will be notified to you in accordance with paragraph 5.2 below.
Payment Methods. Payment is only accepted by debit or credit card. Receipts will be emailed after the payment is taken.

No retail outlet. Mamedica Dispensary 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 order.
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.
Courier Delivery. Delivery will be made via trackable courier and will require a doorstep identification check and signature. Once the package is signed for, our responsibility for the delivery ends.
