General
If any of these Terms & Conditions is declared invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent by any court or competent authority, then that provision shall be deemed to be deleted from these Terms & Conditions and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We have the right to revise and amend these Terms & Conditions from time to time. You will be subject to the Terms & Conditions in force at the time that you use the site or order Products or Services from Us, unless any change to those policies or these Terms & Conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these Terms & Conditions including before we send you the Dispatch Confirmation (where relevant), in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the Terms & Conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within seven working days of receipt by you of the Products or Services.

Failure by us to enforce a right or any provision of these Terms & Conditions or to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under any contract between Us or to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under any such Contract, will not result in a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not preclude us from enforcing either that provision (or any similar provision) on a later occasion.

Purchases can be concluded in English only.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
Price and Payment
The price of any Products or Services will be as quoted on our current Price List and Site, except in cases of obvious error. These prices include VAT where required. Delivery costs will be added to the total amount due once the Customer has selected the goods and a delivery service from the available options as set out in Delivery Information. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
We cannot complete your order until you have paid for it in full. Payment can be made by most major credit or debit cards, by cheque (allowing time for clearance), by cash paid directly to our place of business (cash payments will not be accepted via post) or bank transfer. In the event of a dishonoured cheque, We reserve the right to charge the Customer to cover any consequential direct and indirect costs. Invoices may be produced at any reasonable time after goods are ready for collection and delivery. Time of payment shall be the essence of the Contract. We reserve the right to charge interest based on 3% above Barclays Bank Plc base rate from the date charges are due up to and including the date full payment is made (where a payment is late we will be guided by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interests) Act 1998).
By using a credit/debit card to pay for your order, you confirm that the card being used is yours. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment we will not accept your order and we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and we are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal. We are not responsible for your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your order.
Cosmedic Online contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will rectify any such errors as soon as possible once we become aware of them. If a Product’s correct price is different from 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.
When ordering Products for delivery outside the UK, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches the specified destination. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary from country to country, so you should contact your local customs officer for further information before placing your order. Additionally, please note that when ordering from us, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws. Please note that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
Any samples supplied to Customers are supplied solely for information and in no way impart any express or implied conditions or warranty as to qualify, description, fitness for purpose or merchantable quality and the Customer shall be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to such matters prior to receiving the goods.
CoVID-19
As the impact of the CoVID-19 continues we want to ensure that we stay in touch with our customers. We have been taking a very proactive approach and ensuring that we are monitoring the government guidelines daily and following the instructions from Public Health England.
At this moment in time we continue a policy of “business as usual” but regularly monitor the government guidelines and will amend our operation if necessary accordingly. We are packing and shipping as usual from our warehouse.
The well-being of our staff and customers is foremost in all that we do. It is clearly sensible to delay as far as possible the spread of the virus allowing more preparation time.
Our designated delivery company Royal Mail have implemented measures to continue service in this situation and will continue to do so as long as they are permitted. A non-contact/ no signature policy will exist to minimise contact. There may also be delays in orders being delivered.
We must not underestimate the danger of this virus, but if we all continue to take sensible precautions to protect ourselves and our customers, as set out by Public Health England, the interruption to our everyday lives may be relatively small. It is becoming clear that the effect of CoVID-19 upon business and our livelihoods is likely to be far more devastating than the risk to life or health in healthy people.
Delivery Information
We will deliver the Products to you in accordance with the delivery option specified by you when you placed your order. It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that the delivery details are correct and that there will be someone there to receive delivery. Any specific delivery instructions will require confirmation at the time of placing an order. We cannot deliver items within the same order to multiple addresses. Deliveries will be made to your door. We are not responsible for any additional carrying or positioning of products ordered. Where an order is dispatched with more than one delivery, each delivery is considered a different Contract and will be dealt with individually and not as a whole in the case of any dispute or liability. In the event that the Customer fails or refuses to accept delivery of a Contract, We reserve the right to terminate the Contract and recover any costs from the Customer with regards delivery, disposal and any additional costs. All orders are classed as delivered when Royal Mail tracking shows delivered. Royal Mail allow 13 working days after the item due date before investigation on any undelivered parcels. If your have not informed us that you have not received your order within 14 days we shall assume your order has been delivered and can no longer investigate your order. The outcome of any Royal Mail investigation is final.
We offer free delivery on all orders in the UK over the value of £25.00. For orders below this value, there is a £2.99 postal charge and orders should be received within 2-5 working days.
Next day tracked delivery is available at a cost of £6.99 per order. Orders will need to be received before 1pm to guarantee next day delivery. Our guaranteed delivery for Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1.00pm the next working day will change to by 4.00pm the next working day due to Royal Mail Covid-19 alterations.
Orders need to be received before 1pm to be processed on the same day otherwise they may be dealt with on the next working day. This includes orders scheduled for next day delivery. Orders made after 1pm on a Friday, during the weekend or on a Bank Holiday will be processed on the following working day.
Covid-19 – Royal Mail Signed for delivery update.
In order to protect both our people and customers as much as possible, we will not be handing over our hand-held devices to customers to capture signatures. Postmen and women will instead log the name of the person accepting the item, or a generic marking ie ‘CV or X 19 Covid This will apply to all deliveries that require a signature.
Most orders are received within 48 hours if orders are placed before 1pm, not including Bank Holidays or weekends, however delivery may occur on a Saturday. Occasionally orders may take significantly more time to arrive due to circumstances beyond our control such as the Christmas holiday period. We are unable to investigate lost packages with Royal Mail until 15 working days have passed and so recommend checking with your local Royal Mail depot in the first instance. The outcome of any Royal Mail investigation is final. We also use other courier services and advise you to contact us after 10 days if you have not received your order.
Click and collect is available from our clinic during our normal opening hours. Please allow 24 hours after placing an order prior to collection. Our clinic address is Cosmedic Skin Clinic, Prospect House, 13 Albert Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 7JN.
In the event that an item is out of stock, we will contact you by email or other means to inform you within 5 working days. If the item will be in stock the next working day, we will post the order out the following day. If the item will take longer to arrive, we will post out the rest of the order and then post the missing item as back order as soon as it arrives. You are entitled to cancel your order prior to dispatch and receive a full refund.
We regret that we do not offer a delivery service outside of the UK at this time.
Undeliverable items
If your order requires a signature and there is no-one to sign for it then Royal Mail will leave a card and the package will be taken to the local collection depot. You can either arrange re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it yourself, however if it is not collected or re-delivered within 14 days, it will be returned to us. We will treat this as a cancelled order and refund your cost minus our postage and handling costs. We cannot be held responsible if you have not been notified of an attempted delivery and would recommend checking with your local Royal Mail collection depot if you feel you should have received your order.
If your order does not require a signature, Royal Mail may leave your parcel with a neighbour under its delivery to neighbour scheme (http://www.royalmail.com/personal/receiving-mail/delivery-to-neighbour).
We also use other courier services and if an item is undeliverable, re-delivery will be attempted in the first instance or if this is not possible the order will be either sent to a local collection depot or returned to Us.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the delivery address is correct at the time of ordering and we cannot be held accountable for lost or undeliverable items due to incorrect address details. Undeliverable items which include the correct address details will be treated as a cancelled order and we will refund your cost minus our postage and handling costs. We are unable to claim against a loss with Royal Mail in the event of an incorrect address and therefore cannot refund or replace your order in these circumstances.
Cosmedic Online cannot be held responsible for any losses as a result of failure to deliver, delays in delivery time, no-one present to accept delivery or incorrect delivery details. We will endeavour to ensure that orders are delivered within the time specified when ordering, however, time for delivery will not be enforceable in these Terms & Conditions and the Customer shall not try and do so by the service of any notice or legal action.

Risk and Ownership
Once delivered, the Products ordered become the Customer’s responsibility and, except in relation to Products that are damaged or faulty or have been incorrectly delivered, We will not accept any liability for their loss, damage or destruction after they have been delivered.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to the Customer on delivery or collection of the Products and when We receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products including delivery charges where applicable. Until this time, the Customer is only acting as our fiduciary agent and shall not use, re-sell, purposely deface or damage or dispose of the Products, will take appropriate care and storage of the Products and will insure the Products against any losses or loss of value. If the Customer fails to comply with any of these conditions, full payment will become due with immediate effect. Any money or other gains the Customer has made, will be held by the Customer until such time they receive ownership of the Products or Services. If payment is not received by the due date, We reserve the right to request the immediate return of the Products or to enter the Customer’s premises or place of storage to take repossession.
