Where permitted by law, Vitality Care disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of information on this website or anywhere else.

VitalityCare may provide information and advice, both on the website and by email. We will try to ensure this is accurate and appropriate.

Placement and acceptance of orders

Orders can only be requested via the website. The contents of an order can be updated online at any time prior to the order being processed. Orders cannot be changed once they have been processed or dispatched.

We reserve the right to decline the acceptance of any order, or cancel an order, in full or in part, for any reason at our absolute discretion. This applies up to the point we dispatch your order.

Successful placement of an order will trigger an ‘order confirmation’ email to be sent to you. VitalityCare only accepts the order and agrees the contract to supply at the point of order dispatch (physical handover of the goods to the carrier.) When your order has been dispatched you will receive an email confirming that the order has been accepted and providing you with shipment details where relevant.

You warrant that all information supplied by you to us during the order process is true and complete to the best of your knowledge.

Expiry dates on all medication will depend on what is supplied to us by the manufacturers. Whilst we endeavour to supply medication with an expiry date of no less than six months, this will not be the case with all products.

Long term medication use: if you are ordering medications for long term use it is your responsibility to check the expiry dates with us before purchasing. If the medication expiry date is less than six months from the date of purchase, and you intend to use it for more than six months, we will refund/replace the items you cannot use. If the medication expiry date is six months or more from the date of purchase, we will not refund or replace.

Payment

All credit and debit card transactions are carried out on a secure payment service provider. For online orders VitalityCare receives only partial details of your payment card (type of card and the last 4 numbers). VitalityCare does not receive full card details for online payments.

We do not take payments over the phone.

Delivery & Risk

Orders will be processed and dispatched as soon as possible. All orders and payments will be screened for evidence of fraudulent activity. In some instances, this may cause a delay in the dispatch of your order. Orders will be dispatched once all of the items ordered are available. If there is a delay on a specific item, you may be contacted to establish whether you would prefer to split the order or wait for a single delivery. We endeavour to supply orders accurately, however the responsibility remains with the purchaser and user of all products to verify that the product is correct prior to use.

If your order arrives damaged please email our Customer Service team who will arrange a replacement or refund as preferred. Damages should be notified to us within 3 days of receipt. We may ask you for photographs of any damages prior to processing a claim.

Payment will be taken at the time of requesting the order (not at the point of dispatch). All items are offered for sale subject to availability. We aim to dispatch all orders within 3 days of receiving payment.

Lost in transit - if an order has not arrived and was dispatched with Royal Mail, please wait 10 working days from the date the item was due to be delivered before contacting our support team. We will then be able to process this as a missing item.

If an order is dispatched with a courier it will be fully tracked and you should contact Customer Service as soon as you believe it may have gone missing in transit.

For all orders, regardless of delivery method, you must report missing items to us within 14working days of the date of dispatch.

Incorrect Address - you are responsible for entering your full postal address correctly and selecting it on each order. VitalityCare takes no responsibility for missing items that have been sent to an incorrect, old or inaccurate address.

If delivery is likely to be subject to undue delay, we will contact you by email. You will have the option of a full refund in this case, or of waiting for availability (this might be due to a manufacturer or other reason beyond our control). Delivery to some addresses may carry a higher delivery charge for certain items. We will notify you of any such additional charges and you will have the right to cancel the order should you wish not to proceed with the order.  Other conditions do apply regarding deliveries. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you are also agreeing to what is stated on our delivery information page.

Returns and Refunds

In accordance with The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you are entitled to cancel an order and receive a full refund up to 14 calendar days after you receive the item from us. This applies even if you change your mind and no longer want an item. The refund will include the minimum postage costs you could have chosen when placing your order. You are responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. You must notify us of your intention to cancel the order and you must return the item to us by recorded delivery within 14 days of receipt. We will then refund your money within 14 days of receipt of a returned item. It is your duty to take all reasonable care of any items to be returned, including their packaging, up until the time we receive them back from you. Any damage will result in us being unable to refund part or all of the money you have paid.

Items that cannot be returned

• Perishable items i.e. temperature controlled food/medication
• Medication - due to regulatory law, we cannot accept the return of any medication, including licensed and prescription items
• Items that have been opened/used (unless found to be faulty.)

The 14 day limit to request a refund does not apply to any item which is faulty, unfit for purpose, or not as described at the time you placed the order. For damaged and faulty items, you have 30 days to arrange a return/refund.

For all items returned after the 14-day period, you are asked to provide a written explanation of the reason for the return. Returned items in this circumstance may or may not be due a full refund, depending on the circumstances. (For example if you used an item for a while before it broke, you may have to bear some of the cost for the period of time you were able to use it.) In normal circumstances, the limit of our liability for compensation for orders which are delayed or do not arrive at all, will be the value of the order placed. You will not be due for any additional compensation (for instance if you decided to take time off work to receive the order).
