In some areas you will have different rights under these terms and conditions depending on whether you are a business or consumer. You are a consumer if you are an individual and you are buying products from us wholly or mainly for your personal use (not for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession).

Provisions specific to businesses only are underlined.

1 THE WEBSITE

The website is made available free of charge.

We do not guarantee that our website, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of our website for business and operational reasons. We reserve the right to change data, references, product specifications, pricing or otherwise amend the content, in full or in part, at any time without notice.

2 ORDERING ONLINE

You can browse products and educational support information on EMS Shop.

If you decide to purchase a product, click on ‘BUY NOW’ and you will be redirected to an online retailer site PayPal where you will then be able to place the product in your basket and follow the checkout procedure. From time to time, products are sold through other online retailer partners, who will be clearly identified prior to redirecting you to their site. In some cases, such as Amazon.co.uk, the partner site acts as our agent and your contract of purchase is with us. In other cases, the partner site is our distributor and your contract of purchase is with the partner.

We reserve the right to change product specifications, including pricing, at any time before your purchase of a product and without notice. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the actual colours of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.

The prices displayed on the website are only the prices at which Owen Mumford Limited offers the products for sale, through agents such as Amazon.co.uk. Where products are sold through independent retailers, we have no control over the prices charged.

If you would like to download the educational support information available free of charge on medicalshop.co.uk, you will be required to create an account. This will enable multiple PDF downloads of support and information documents, which have been prepared to support people living with the common conditions associated with the products listed.

3 PAYMENT

Payment for product orders will be taken by the online seller. Our default platform for sales transactions is Amazon.co.uk. To purchase the product/s you have selected, and if you do not already have an existing Amazon account, you will need to follow the Amazon.co.uk account set up and payment requirements.

Whilst online retailers offer secure shopping on their websites – we recommend that you always check security information and security guarantees for your own peace of mind.

Support and educational documents are provided free of charge – and can be accessed by creating a Medical Shop account.

4 VAT PAYMENT

All prices listed on our website are given in GBP and include VAT. The final price of the products will be the price listed on the online seller’s website at the time you purchase the product.

5 DELIVERY COST

The delivery cost of your order is determined by the online retailer. In most cases you will have an option of various delivery rates which may including Free Delivery, Standard or Expedited delivery. Medical Shop is a UK-only service.

6 DELIVERY POLICY

Once you have placed the order for your items you will be given an estimated date on which your order will be dispatched. Time of delivery is not of the essence. The general aim for despatch of all items is between 3 to 5 days of receiving your order unless you have selected a faster delivery option, where available. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery where the product(s) are purchased from a partner site other than Amazon.co.uk. Any queries regarding delivery should be directed to the online retailer in the first instance.

If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

A product will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us, and you own a product once we have received payment in full for such product.

If you are a business, then, until ownership of the products has passed to you, you will:

1. a) hold the products on a fiduciary basis as our bailee.
2. b) store the products (at your cost) separately from all other goods of yours or any third party and in such a way that they remain readily identifiable as our property.
3. c) not destroy, deface, or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the products.
4. d) maintain the products in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on our behalf for their full price against all reasonable risks; and
5. e) hold the proceeds of such insurance on trust for us and not mix them with any other money, nor pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank account.

We shall be entitled to recover payment for the products notwithstanding that ownership of any of the products has not passed from us.

7 CANCELLATION POLICY

We cannot accept an amendment to an order that you have placed with a third-party online retailer. If you want to cancel an order, we strongly recommend that you refer to the retailer cancellation policy.

In the case of an order placed on PayPal you may be able to cancel an order whilst it is still ‘open’, meaning it has not entered the dispatch process yet.  

8 REFUND POLICY

We cannot accept a returned product or issue a refund for an order that you have placed with a third-party online retailer.

EMS has a standard 30-day returns policy. To find out how you can return a product and receive a refund click here
