6. Identity Verification
If your treatment includes a prescription-only medicine, we may verify your identity before your order is processed.
We may use third-party verification partners to match your data against publicly available databases. The data shared for verification may include your name, date of birth, and address.
If we are unable to verify your identity electronically, we may ask you to provide a copy of your passport, driving licence, or other photographic identification. These documents are stored securely and processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
7. Online Consultations
Some of our products and services require you to complete an online consultation. This includes a questionnaire about your health and wellbeing that you complete before receiving treatment.
You must complete the consultation truthfully and to the best of your knowledge. The consultation must be completed by you, for you. If you are unsure of an answer, check with your regular healthcare provider before submitting.
We and our clinical team will rely on your responses for the purposes of medical assessment and to determine whether a treatment is suitable for you.
If you do not understand something in the questionnaire, please contact us and we will provide the information you need.
7.1 GP Notification
You should always tell your GP about any treatment and medication we supply. During the consultation process, we will give you the option of sharing your information with your GP. We strongly recommend you consent to this, as it ensures your GP has a complete picture of your medical treatment.
In certain circumstances, our clinicians may be obliged to share information with your GP or another healthcare provider in the interests of patient safety, regardless of whether you have consented.
8. Your Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and truthful medical information
- Update us promptly if your medical circumstances change, including any new diagnosis, new medication, or adverse reaction
- Follow all medical advice and instructions provided
- Use prescribed medication only as directed
- Read all product packaging and patient information leaflets carefully before use
- Ensure that only you have access to your medicines
- Return any unused medication to your local pharmacy for safe disposal
Providing false, misleading, or incomplete information may put your health at risk, result in refusal of treatment, void any entitlement to refunds, and limit or exclude our liability.
9. Registration and Your Account
By signing up with trimu, you are creating an electronic patient record which will contain your personal details, treatment history, consultations, and related clinical information.
You acknowledge and agree that we may archive your electronic patient records, including your personal information and treatments, for a minimum of 10 years following your last order or prescription, in line with CQC and NHS records management requirements.
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account login details
- Providing your correct name, address, date of birth, email, telephone number, and GP details
- Restricting access to your account to prevent unauthorised use
Please contact us immediately if you believe someone has accessed your account without your permission.
You agree not to register more than one account with trimu. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel your account if you have, or we have reason to believe you have, created multiple accounts.
10. No Guarantee of Treatment
Submitting a consultation does not guarantee that a prescription will be issued, treatment will be approved, or medication will be supplied.
All clinical decisions are made independently by our clinicians, based on your medical information, and in accordance with professional, ethical, and legal obligations.
We reserve the right to:
- Refuse treatment
- Cancel an order
- Recommend alternative treatment or care
- Refer you back to your GP or another healthcare provider
Professional codes of conduct and legal restrictions may limit the quantity and frequency of any product we are permitted to supply.
11. Ordering and Payment
11.1 Payment Authorisation
We authorise payment at checkout. Funds are only captured if treatment is approved by our clinical team. If treatment is refused, no payment is taken.
11.2 Pricing
Prices displayed generally exclude VAT, as most prescription medicines are VAT-exempt in the United Kingdom. No consultation fees or administration fees currently apply. Prices are confirmed at checkout and will not change after payment is captured.
Prices for our products and services are subject to change without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any price change.
11.3 Cancellation Before Clinical Review
You may cancel your order before a consultation has been reviewed by a clinician by contacting us. Once a consultation has been reviewed, cancellation may no longer be possible.
12. Repeat Prescriptions and Subscriptions
Where applicable, prescriptions may be issued on a repeat basis. The number of repeats and prescription duration are determined by our clinician’s medical assessment.
Your repeat prescription will expire when you have exhausted all repeats or the duration of the prescription has expired, whichever comes first.
You will receive an email before your prescription expires, with information on how to renew.
You can request to cancel or pause your prescription at any time by contacting customer support at [email protected], or through your account settings.
Once you have paused or cancelled, you will no longer receive or be charged for automatic deliveries. However, if medication has already been dispensed, we will be unable to issue a refund.
We reserve the right to cancel your subscription and not supply further medication if you notify us of significant side effects or an adverse change in your medical condition. We will cancel your subscription if you inform us that you do not wish to receive further medication.
13. Refusals, Cancellations and Refunds
13.1 Treatment Refusal
If treatment is refused by our clinical team, no payment will be captured and the order will be cancelled.
13.2 Dispensed Medication
Once medication has been approved, dispensed, and dispatched, it cannot be cancelled, returned, or refunded, in accordance with UK medicines law.
This is because prescription medicines are exempt from the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
13.3 Damaged or Incorrect Products
You may return a product if it is damaged, defective, or if the wrong product has been sent to you. We may require photographic evidence. If confirmed, we will either replace the product or refund the amount you paid.
13.4 Refund Method
If you are entitled to a refund, it will be processed using the same payment method you used. Refunds will typically reach your account within 5 working days of being issued.
14. Delivery
Delivery is available within the United Kingdom only. Delivery times are estimates and not guarantees.
Your delivery will be posted through the letterbox where possible and does not normally require a signature. It is your responsibility to ensure that nobody else can access the products delivered to you. Please take particular care if children or animals are present in your household.
Responsibility for the medication passes to you once it has been delivered to the address you provided.
You are responsible for following all storage and usage instructions, including temperature-sensitive requirements.
14.1 Delayed or Lost Deliveries
There may be instances where your delivery is delayed due to circumstances outside our control. We cannot accept responsibility for these delays, but we will do what we reasonably can to resolve the issue.
If your delivery has been delayed by more than 7 days, please contact us and we will issue a redelivery free of charge.
If your delivery has been delayed being dispatched for any reason, you are entitled to request cancellation of the delivery and receive a full refund.
15. Adverse Reactions and Pharmacovigilance
If you experience any side effects or adverse reactions from medication supplied by trimu, you should:
- Stop taking the medication if you believe it is causing you harm
- Contact us immediately at [email protected]
- Report side effects via the Yellow Card Scheme at yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk or by calling 0800 731 6789
