These Conditions will apply to the exclusion of any terms or conditions put forward by the Customer. No conduct by the Company will be deemed to constitute the acceptance of any terms or conditions other than these Conditions.

2. Price Lists and Sales Literature

Prices given in our price lists or other sales literature are for information purposes only, and do not constitute an offer. No contract will come into existence until the Customer’s order (however given) is accepted. Invoices will be raised for prices current at the time of order.

3. Carriage

Except as otherwise stated in any quotation or price list of the Company, or as otherwise agreed in writing, all prices are given by the Company on an ex-works basis and exclude postage, packaging and transport.

4. Delivery

Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only. We will use reasonable endeavours to effect delivery on agreed dates based on information available at the time of quoting; however we accept no responsibility for any loss resulting from delays to delivery or from any deterioration in quality resulting from such delays.

5. Payment and Returns

For non account Customers or Patients payment is required in cleared funds before despatch. For account Customers and Patients payment is due within 30 days of receipt of order and time for payment is of the essence.

  • Once payment has been made by the Customer there shall be no refund available by the Company. The Company cannot accept returned goods by the Customer because of the nature of the goods, being medicines.
  • Where agreement has been made between the Company and the Customer for the return of unused and unopened goods no refund shall be issued by the Company; a credit note shall be raised by the Company on behalf of the Customer. Such credit notes shall be subjected to twenty percent deduction by the Company for administration, plus other costs that may have been incurred by the Company, e.g. postage costs, credit card fees, etc.. Such credit notes offered by the Company to the Customer may be used by the credited Customer against any other goods currently available by the Company; such replacement goods chosen by the Customer must also account for carriage costs, and any other costs that may arise, within the terms of the credit note held by the Company.
  • Occasional guarantees. Where the Company offers 100% money back guarantee on unused and unopened products (not services which are unrefundable), the customer must return the products at their own cost, and a refund will be given 100% for the price of the goods excluding postal costs; or a credit note can be issued; or the goods may be exchanged, but postal costs must be paid for. Such offers are made solely at the discretion of the Company Director.

8. Storage

We will be under no liability for any defect in the Goods (including, but not limited to, infestation or mould) arising from incorrect storage by the Customer.

It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that the products are appropriately and responsibly used and stored (eg out of the reach and sight of children).

None of the products is offered as a replacement for consultation, diagnosis and treatment by a medical doctor or medical herbalist.

14. Insolvency of Customer

If the Customer fails to make payment when due or makes any arrangements with its creditors or becomes bankrupt or goes into liquidation (or the Company reasonably comprehends that these events are about to occur) we may in our absolute discretion suspend all further deliveries of goods and/or terminate the contract without liability on the Company’s part. If the Goods have been delivered but not paid for, the price will become immediately due and payable.
