You're eligible to register and utilize the Services via our Site if you’re a minimum of eighteen (18) years, residing in the UK, and legally qualified in your nation of residence to commit to the Service agreement and to procure Products. Notably, Prescription Items can be purchased only if you're aged between 18 and 65 for safety reasons.

PLACING ORDERS
You can use our site to request Consultations, Prescription and Non-Prescription Products. Before making any such requests, you must first establish an Account as detailed earlier. Should you wish to order a Prescription Product, a comprehensive medical intake form should be completed for clinical review. Some Non-Prescription Products are categorized as pharmacy medicines or "P-meds", which require a pharmacist's approval for purchase. For these, a questionnaire needs to be completed for the pharmacist's assessment.
Our platform is exclusively designed to offer our Services and Products to UK-based clientele. We regretfully do not cater to orders from or deliveries to non-UK addresses.
Post your order, we’ll send an email containing your order reference number, which is also accessible through your Account. This reference number proves useful in future communications regarding your order.
For Non-Prescription Products, a confirmation of your order symbolizes the establishment of a contract with us.
In cases where the order includes a P-med, the order stands as unconfirmed until obtaining the Pharmacy's approval. An email will be dispatched to notify you upon this approval.
If the order involves a Prescription Product, it remains unconfirmed until a prescription is issued and subsequently approved by the Pharmacy. Another email will be sent upon this endorsement. Receipt of the order confirmation email also implies you've agreed to the underlying Pharmacy Terms.
Upon selecting “Confirm Order/ Place Order”, the entire order amount, covering any P-med or Prescription Product, is deducted. Should there be any disapprovals for the P-med or Prescription Product, you’ll be refunded the amount, excluding any Consultation fees if applicable.
All Products procured through our platform are strictly for your individual use.
Our mode of communication with you encompasses phone (inclusive of SMS) or written correspondence either through email or traditional mail. The contact details used will be the ones shared during the order. Therefore, it's imperative that these details remain current in your Account for uninterrupted communication concerning your order.
Should you reconsider a previously ordered product, possibilities to return it can be explored as per our Cancellation, Refunds and Returns Policy, detailed in the subsequent sections.
PHARMACY TERMS FOR HAIR LOSS PRESCRIPTION PRODUCTS
Upon acquiring a prescription for a hair loss Prescription Product, your purchase shall be facilitated through our pharmacy, hereinafter denoted as “Pharmacy”. The binding agreement regarding the acquisition of Prescription Products is directly established between you, the user, and the Pharmacy.
For those obtaining a Prescription Product to address alopecia or general hair loss, the transaction will be processed by The Family Pharma Ltd T/a Dense Hair Experts located at Unit 6 Acorn Business Park, Keighley Road, Skipton BD23 2UE. Terms pertinent to The Family Pharma Ltd Pharmacy will oversee these transactions.
For any further inquiries, clarifications, or communication needs, reach out to us at help@densehairexperts.com.
CONSULTATIONS
For the acquisition of a Prescription Product from our website, it's imperative to undergo a Consultation initially. These Consultations are facilitated by independent, certified prescribers, all of whom are registered in the UK with the General Pharmaceutical Council, hereinafter referred to as a “Clinician”. Clinicians are accountable for assessing your treatment requests, potentially diagnosing conditions, and issuing relevant prescriptions if they deem it apt.
The Consultation process necessitates that you fill out a comprehensive medical form online. This encompasses details like current medications, health history, and more. This data is subsequently relayed to the Clinician, who assesses the appropriateness of the desired Prescription Product based on your input. Given the reliance on the accuracy of the information provided by you, it's vital to be honest and meticulous. Post-review, the Clinician might pose additional queries which you're obligated to address. Issuance of a prescription remains at the sole discretion of the Clinician. In scenarios where a prescription isn't sanctioned, purchasing the Prescription Product from our website won't be viable. However, if approved, the transaction will be facilitated via the Pharmacy.
SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS, MODIFICATIONS, AND RENEWALS
Some products showcased on our platform are exclusively available via subscription. Upon ordering such products, you automatically enroll in the stipulated subscription. During the order process, you'll be notified whether your chosen product is a one-off purchase or a subscription-based acquisition. We offer an array of subscription choices depending on your chosen product. The frequency of your subscription (“Subscription Period”) can be determined during your order.
Payments are processed using the account details provided, typically on the corresponding date of your Subscription Period, commencing from the initial order date.
Subscriptions remain active until you choose to discontinue. Termination can be executed anytime by emailing hello@densehairexperts.com. Please note, if cancellations or pauses occur within 48 hours preceding the next billing cycle, the forthcoming product shipment will still be billed.
For uninterrupted Prescription Product shipments, prescription renewals are obligatory every twelve months post the initial prescription date. Renewal mandates a subsequent Consultation either through your online dashboard or by heeding an email request from a Clinician. Renewal notifications will be dispatched via email.
Subscription particulars can be accessed by signing into your account.
Subscriptions may be halted or terminated under circumstances like:
- Outdated/expired payment or contact data.
- Absence of health and medication data validation or updates within the specified timeframe.
- Account suspension or termination.
- Unavailability or stock shortages of the Prescription Product.
- Payment authorizations being unsuccessful.
- Discrepancies in the depiction or pricing of services.
For any clarifications or updates, please contact us at help@densehairexperts.com.
PAYMENTS, DELIVERY, & PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
PAYMENTS:
All figures provided on our website are in pounds sterling, exclusive of VAT (if applicable) and any UK-based taxes. The Consultations and Products' pricing is as specified on the order confirmation page. We strive to ensure all displayed prices are accurate. However, these may fluctuate occasionally, but this will not impact any confirmed orders.
Payment methods include:
- Credit or debit cards as highlighted on the site.
- E-wallets or e-currencies accepted on our site periodically.
During account setup, you will be prompted to select a payment method and input its details. Confirming your payment details asserts that you are the legitimate holder.
Payment authorization depends on your card issuer's approval, e-money or e-wallet provider's verification. We hold no responsibility for declined payments due to failed verifications or any reasons deemed by the issuer. Suspicious activities may be reported to relevant authorities. While we strive for promptness, certain payment processes might necessitate 2-3 working days. Should any challenges arise in obtaining payment authorization, you will be informed, which might postpone Product delivery.
If we can't process your card within 7 days post notification, your Service access may be restricted or paused temporarily. Until outstanding payments are settled, our obligations may be withheld. This doesn't compromise our other entitlements.
Your payments encompass our Service fees and the costs of Consultations and Products. All payments are consolidated and handled on the Pharmacy's behalf.
DELIVERY:
Product dispatch is contingent upon successful order approval and payment clearance. Prescription Products' delivery complies with the Pharmacy Terms elucidated previously.
Delivery charges will be evident during your online transaction.
While we, in collaboration with our Pharmacy, exert utmost effort, we cannot be held liable for delays caused by unforeseen events. Should any delay transpire, we commit to notify you and take remedial actions. If potential substantial delays arise, you have the liberty to terminate the agreement and request reimbursements for undelivered Products.
If delivery attempts to your specified address prove futile, the courier service might leave instructions regarding subsequent delivery arrangements
PRODUCT AVAILABILITY:
Product order acceptance hinges on product availability and raw material accessibility. Post-order placement, any unavailability or anticipated delays will be promptly communicated.
In situations where a product's supply is obstructed – owing to manufacturer shortages or pricing discrepancies – you will be apprised via email. If payments have already been processed, immediate reimbursements will be affected.
On certain occasions, the Pharmacy or we might have to halt product provisions to:
- Rectify technical glitches or instigate minor modifications.
- Update the product in alignment with prevailing legislative or regulatory mandates.
- Implement product changes as instigated by you or as conveyed by us.
Prior intimation will be sent if there's a suspension in product provision, barring emergencies. Should a suspension extend beyond a month, we'll recalibrate the pricing accordingly. If such elongated suspensions occur, you may opt to terminate the contract, and prepayments for undelivered products will be refunded.
Non-payment might also instigate product supply suspension. If dues aren't settled within 10 days post our reminder, product supply can be halted until clearance. In case of genuine disputes, the suspension won't be affected. However, during suspension, interest might accrue on overdue amounts.
For further details or clarifications, kindly reach out to help@densehairexperts.com.
