3. How our service works
3.1 Registration on our website: Before you can access our Consultative Services and Products you will first need to register an account on our website.
3.2 Health questionnaire: You will need to complete and submit an online health questionnaire. We will then, as an initial triage stage, review your responses and promptly confirm to you in writing whether your application for Treatment is suitable to be forwarded to our doctors to formally review. The health questionnaire is necessary as it will, subject to your application for Treatment passing the initial triage stage, provide our doctors with information that will help them to assess whether prescribing weight loss medication is safe and appropriate for you and, if so, which such medication is appropriate to prescribe. You acknowledge that there is no guarantee that submitting the health questionnaire will result in a prescription being given for the Products.
3.3 Entering into the contract: Provided that we have accepted your application at the medical questionnaire stage, you must then:
- Pay the agreed initial price for the Treatment as set out on our website;
- Provide us with a copy of your passport or driver’s licence and a current photograph of yourself in order that we can verify your identity and qualifying BMI (why do we ask for this?). We will ensure that any such identification documents are stored securely; and
- Agree to these Terms of Sale. Immediately upon completion of points (a), (b) and (c) above, your contract with us in relation to the Treatment will become effective. We will also send you an email to confirm that: (1) your completed questionnaire has been forwarded to one of our doctors to review and that we will get back to you shortly with a response; and (2) your initial payment in respect of the Treatment and form of identification have been received.
3.4 Our Treatment must not be used in an emergency. If you consider that you are in an emergency, please call 999.
4. Your responsibilities
4.1 Our Consultative Services and the provision of prescriptions of the Products are provided through an online service and, subject to clause 2.2(b), our communications with you will be online or by telephone. Any course of Treatment is based on the information you provide to us. In order that we can provide the Treatment most effectively, and safely, it is imperative that you are truthful and honest at all times in your communications with us.
4.2 You must ensure that:
a) You are at least 18 years old.
b) You are resident in the United Kingdom and require delivery of the Products to an address in the United Kingdom. We will only supply the Treatment and send Products to individuals who are resident in the United Kingdom.
c) You only apply to receive the Treatment on behalf of yourself and not for anyone else.
d) All information and responses you provide to us are honest, complete and accurate in all respects and to the best of your knowledge.
e) If you are at all unsure about anything during the course of the Treatment, including any elements of the initial health questionnaire or any advice provided by us, please do contact us so that we can clarify this with you; alternatively, please contact your GP.
f) You co-operate with us in all matters relating to the Treatment.
g) You tell your GP about any Treatment we are to supply to you. Please let us know if you would like us to inform them on your behalf.
h) You always read all Product packaging, instructions, directions and labels carefully before use. You are responsible for taking Products correctly.
i) You store all Products securely and in accordance with any instructions or directions provided with or relating to the Products.
j) You ensure no-one else receives Products upon delivery or has access to the Products.
k) You always check the date on the box of the medication to ensure that it has not expired, and not take or use any Products which are beyond their expiry date.
l) You will notify us as soon as possible if there are any changes in your medical condition. This is important as any such changes may affect your suitability for treatment. Such changes would include any new diagnosis, new medication and a substantial decrease in your body mass index (BMI) to a level below any threshold which would deem you unsuitable for continuing to receive the Treatment.
m) You are authorised to use the payment card for which you pay for the Treatment.
n) You will: (1) check that the Products are the correct Products prescribed for you and that such Products are not damaged in any way; and (2) not consume any Products which are not the Products prescribed or which are damaged on arrival. Instead, you must contact us pursuant to clause 9.4.
o) You will provide a valid ID and current photo to enable our clinicians to complete your prescription. Read why we ask for this here
5. Prescription of products
5.1 The prescribing of medicines through our website is carried out by CheqUp Health Limited (registered with Care Quality Commission with number 1-17083303713). Our medications are dispensed by either CheqUp Health Limited (regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council with number 9012707) or by CloudRx (regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council with number 9011284). You can view our pharmacy terms and regulatory information by clicking here.
From time to time, it may be clinically appropriate for our prescribers to recommend or prescribe a medication for an “off-label” use. This means the medication is being used in a way that is not specifically included in the regulatory licence approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), but which is supported by clinical evidence and expert guidance. Our prescribers only consider such use when, in their professional judgment, it is in your best interest and aligned with accepted medical practice.
5.2 The Products will be provided to you pursuant to a prescription. It may be the case that prescriptions will be issued on a repeat basis (Repeat Prescriptions). The extent, and/ or number, of Repeat Prescriptions issued by our doctors will be entirely at his or her discretion.
5.3 We cannot dispense more Products than is permitted on any prescription. In that light, you will not be supplied with more than one Repeat Prescription every 28 days. Further to this, Repeat Prescriptions will only be supplied following receipt of payment pursuant to clause 7.3(b).
5.4 A Repeat Prescription will end if one of our doctors considers that you no longer require the Treatment and/ or Products (for example, if your BMI decreases to a suitable level whereby the Treatment and/ or the Products are no longer required). In such circumstances, you confirm that you will: a. not consume any further Products; and b. dispose of such Products pursuant to clause 10.3(b).
5.5 Without prejudice to our rights under clause 10.2, where a Product is out of stock or we are unable to fulfil a prescription, we will use reasonable endeavours to source alternative suitable medication, where applicable.
5.6 Prescriptions issued through our service are valid for a period determined by the prescribing doctor and in accordance with UK pharmacy regulations. If a prescription expires before being dispensed, we will not be able to fulfil the order, and a new consultation may be required. It is your responsibility to ensure timely renewal of prescriptions where necessary.
6. Consultative services
6.1 We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the treatment to you.
6.2 Our Consultative Services, including appointments with any of our doctors, health coaches and/ or dieticians, will be booked at dates and times that suit you. [We will send you an email to confirm the date and time of any appointment].
6.3 If: a. you are unable to attend any appointment, you must let us know by either email to the details set out at clauses 2.2(a)(i) and 2.2(a)(ii) above at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the appointment; or b. any of our clinicians need to cancel or postpone your consultation then they will let you know by either email or telephone, and we will then seek to agree with you a revised date and time for the appointment.
6.4 For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be liable to you if you are unable to access an appointment in respect of our Consultative Services for any reason within your reasonable control, including your failure to use appropriate equipment.
7. Prices and payment
7.1 The price of the Treatment will be the price indicated on our website at the date of submission of your health questionnaire pursuant to clause 3.2 and all prices stated are inclusive of VAT (to the extent applicable) and inclusive of the Consultative Services, Products and delivery of the Products. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Treatment advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 7.2 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Treatment.
7.2 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Treatments we sell may be incorrectly priced on our website. Where the Treatment’s correct price is less than our stated price at the relevant time, we will charge the lower amount. If the Treatment’s correct price is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions as in such cases we can only charge you the higher price. For the avoidance of doubt, in such circumstances you are able to terminate the contract in accordance with clause 10.1 or cancel the contract.
Where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract pursuant to clause 10.2 and will refund you any sums you have paid.
7.3 The Treatment will be provided to you on a subscription basis whereby you agree to the following payment arrangements:
- an initial payment to be made pursuant to clause 3.3(a); and
b. thereafter, a recurring direct debit payment to be paid to us monthly in advance throughout the duration of the Treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, you: i. agree to authorise such a direct debit payment arrangement; and ii. accept responsibility for all recurring such charges.
7.4 If you fail to continue with your purchase after making payment (e.g. you don’t provide the required ID or photo verification) we reserve the right to charge a £5 cancellation admin fee.
8. Delivery
8.1 All Products will be delivered to you by registered parcel delivery service at the address provided by you at the time of ordering. Please follow any instructions provided by the relevant delivery personnel. Please be careful to ensure that others (including children and animals) do not access the delivered Products.
8.2 The Products will be your responsibility and, you will own such Products, subject always to compliance with clause 7.3, from the time we deliver the Products to your address.
8.3 If your package is lost or undelivered, please notify us within 5 working days so we can liaise with the courier. If a package is confirmed lost, we will offer a replacement at no additional charge.
We are not responsible for delivery delays caused by incorrect address details provided at checkout. If your package is returned due to incorrect address details, you may be required to cover the cost of redelivery.
8.4 It is the client’s responsibility to ensure they are able to receive the delivery at the address provided. If delivery is attempted and the client is not available to accept the parcel, or if the parcel is otherwise not collected within the courier’s specified timeframe, the medication may become unsuitable for use due to temperature sensitivity. Where an order is returned to us under these circumstances, we will not be able to offer a replacement or a refund.
A replacement can only be issued if the medication has remained within the acceptable temperature range and timeframe, which will be confirmed by our pharmacy before any decision is made.
9. Cancellation, pausing Treatment and defective, damaged or wrong Products
9.1 Once a prescription has been approved by a licensed healthcare professional, the order is final and cannot be cancelled or refunded. This is in accordance with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which excludes prescription medications from cancellation rights.
However, if the medication is defective, damaged, or not as described, you are entitled to a replacement or refund under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If you receive a faulty product, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with photographic evidence.
9.2 You may pause or cancel your Treatment at any time in My Account. Once you have paused or cancelled the Treatment, you will no longer receive, nor be charged for, any further Treatment.
9.3 Returns Policy
For safety reasons, we do not accept returns of prescription medication once it has been dispensed. If you have any unwanted medication, please dispose of it safely or take it to a local pharmacy for proper disposal.
However, if you believe the medication you have received is faulty or defective, please refer to clause 9.4.
9.4 Faulty, Damaged, or Incorrect Products
If you receive a medication that is faulty, damaged, or incorrect, you must contact us immediately upon receipt at [email protected]. We will require photographic evidence or other supporting information to assess the issue.
If we determine that the product may be faulty, you will need to return it to us for further investigation and quality control. Once received, we will liaise with the manufacturer to confirm the fault. If confirmed, we will provide you with a replacement product at no additional cost. Please note that it can take up to three weeks for the manufacturers to assess each case; if you need medication in the interim, you will need to purchase a new pen.
If a replacement is not possible, we will issue a refund to the original payment method for the relevant month’s subscription. In cases of damaged or incorrect items, we will arrange a replacement as soon as possible.
9.5 Perceived Ineffectiveness of Medication
Clause 9.4 applies only to products that are physically faulty, damaged, or incorrect. If you feel that the medication is not effective, this does not qualify as a defect. Weight loss medication requires adherence to prescribed dosage, lifestyle changes, and dietary recommendations.
If you have concerns about effectiveness, we encourage you to contact us or consult with our clinical team for further advice. In some cases, an alternative treatment may be more appropriate.
10. Termination
10.1 You may cancel your subscription at any time by providing written notice via My Account or email to [email protected]. However, if your cancellation is received after your monthly prescription has been processed, we will be unable to refund that month’s payment. To avoid unwanted charges, we recommend cancelling at least 5 working days before the next billing date.
10.2 We can terminate this contract at any time by immediate notice to you in writing. Reasons for such termination may include:
a) We withdraw the Products.
b) You fail to pay us in accordance with these Terms of Sale.
c) We decide at any time that you are not, or no longer, suitable for the Treatment.

a) not consume any further Products; and
b) dispose of such Products safely or take them to a pharmacy for safe disposal. We do not accept returns of Products pursuant to clause 9.3.
10.4 Notwithstanding clause 9.1 above, if you terminate the contract at any time pursuant to clause 10.1 prior to Products being dispensed to you for the first time under this contract then we may, in our absolute discretion, issue you with a full refund. If such Products have been dispensed then we will be unable to issue you with a refund. Similarly, if you terminate the contract at any time during the course of the Treatment then we will only refund you in respect of that month’s subscription payment if we: (1) receive your termination notice; and (2) are able to instruct our pharmacy to not dispense the Products, prior to that month’s prescription of Products being dispensed to you.
10.5 Subject to clauses 3.4 and 10.6, if we end the contract at any time prior to Products being dispensed to you for the first time under this contract then we may, in our absolute discretion, issue you with a full refund. If such Products have been dispensed then we will be unable to issue you with a refund. Similarly, if we terminate the contract at any time during the course of the Treatment then we will only refund you in respect of that month’s subscription payment if we are able to instruct our pharmacy to not dispense the Products, prior to that month’s prescription of Products being dispensed to you.

b) you commit a material breach of the contract;
c) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Treatment; or
d) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products and/or provide the Consultative Services to you,
then, in addition to the provisions of clause 10.5, we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
10.7 For the avoidance of doubt, if following termination of the contract for any reason, you wish to receive further weight loss treatments similar to or the same as the Treatment, then you will need to submit a new health questionnaire pursuant to clause 3.2 and go through the full review process again.
11. Liability
11.1 We will not accept any liability to you for damages, losses or otherwise which result from you not: (1) adhering to any of the above obligations set out in this clause 4; or (2) following the advice given by any of our in-house or partner doctors, health coaches or dieticians.
