Working with industry-leading secure payment processors, we validate your order and credit or debit card details you submit to us before your order can be accepted. Once that has been done, we will acknowledge that your order has been received by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address you provide in your registration form.

Your order is then subject to further validation checks we may choose to make. If your order passes our validation checks we will send you an order confirmation email, this is our acceptance of your order and it brings into existence a legally binding agreement between us.

When your order contains a pharmacy medicine (identified on this site by a [P] symbol) your order will be subject to review by a Boots pharmacist. Subject to this pharmacist's approval, sale of these medicines will then be made by Boots UK Limited.

Boots reserves the right to restrict the number of items available for sale to any individual customer. All orders are subject to availability. If your order cannot be fulfilled you will be offered an alternative or given a full refund.

We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards. Payment will be debited from your account before the dispatch of your purchase.

This information may be retained by Experian Ltd for future validation enquiries by other companies. For more details of the information Experian Ltd hold about you, visit http://www.experian.co.uk/. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery. Orders can only be delivered to UK addresses.

Boots.com has made every effort to reproduce colours on the site as accurately as possible. However, different computers and mobile devices reproduce colours in slightly different ways, and so exact colour matches are not yet possible over the Internet.

This means that when you order products from the Shop, colours may differ from what you see on the screen.

If you are not satisfied with the colour of the item you have ordered, we operate a returns policy (see Returns for more information).

Boots.com has taken great care to ensure prices are accurate. Prices may change over time, so if you use your shopping list within 'My account' as a way of re-ordering items, prices on your previous order may no longer be valid. (If you are using a mobile device, unfortunately you will not be able to use this feature. Instead you will need to switch to our full website by clicking on the 'Visit full site' link at the bottom of the page). However, the correct prices will be applied when you select an item from the shopping list and add to your current basket. All prices include VAT where appropriate. Promotions and prices you see in Boots high street stores do not apply to Boots.com, and vice versa.

Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Batteries

In the past, most waste electrical and electronic equipment and batteries have ended up in landfill sites, where the toxic materials some of them contain can put communities at risk.

However, facilities now exist for these products to be collected separately from normal household waste and sent for recycling. This enables the hazardous materials to be disposed of safely and other materials to be used to make new products.

So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, we have contributed towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing household recycling centres to deal with this additional waste. To find out more about where you can recycle electrical waste, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk or contact our free helpline 0800 915 9023.

Waste household batteries can also be disposed of at local council sites or at the special collection points that will be in Boots shops and other locations from February 2010.

All new electrical and electronic products and batteries are now marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol to remind consumers to recycle. In the case of batteries this is sometimes accompanied by the letters "Pb", "Cd" or "Hg" to indicate that lead, cadmium or mercury may be present.

We have made every effort to ensure we protect your personal information. Here you will find information on how we protect your security and privacy, changes to the law regarding use of 'cookies', information on ordering with us and assurances about credit and debit details.

Our policy

This privacy information was last updated on 26th May 2011. Boots UK Limited is registered under the Data Protection Act 1998. We are committed to protecting the information we collect from you, which we use to enhance your experience of using Boots. com and to provide you with the services you request from us.

We also outline the security measures we take to protect your details once you have given them to us. You can then make informed choices about the personal information you provide on this site.

When you buy goods and services from us we record your details to ensure that we can for example:

This data will not be used to send marketing offers or shared with any other business other than those identified in our terms and conditions.

If you cancel your registration you will no longer be able to shop online or receive e-mails from us. Any orders you have placed will be processed as normal. You cannot open a new account using the same e-mail address as a previously closed account.

Although the Live Pharmacist service is no longer provided, information you may have supplied through Live Pharmacist is stored in a secure database for at least two years to ensure that we meet the ethical requirements of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and so that we can follow up any subsequent queries.

Ordering online

Ordering online using your credit card details is just as safe as ordering goods over the telephone, if not more so. Boots.com has been issued with a Secure Server Digital Certificate by the online Certification Authority, VeriSign, and has been authorised to display the VeriSign Authentic Site Seal. Furthermore, all credit/debit card payments are securely handled by an industry-leading payment processor and are never stored on the Boots website.

Cookies

A 'cookie' is a file in your web browser that enables us to recognise your computer when you visit the site.

The tool is used by many Web sites to help collect information, such as how many people visit and return to the site, what products are being bought, and to make certain parts of the site function properly.

Like other retailers we use 'cookies' to allow us to fill in our login fields with your email address, once you have registered. This is to enable customers to login to our site more quickly and easily when you make future visits to Boots.com.

If you are using another person's computer to login to our site (eg in an internet cafe or a colleagues computer at work) then it's possible your e mail address will display in the login field to a subsequent user of our site. We therefore advise customers to clear 'cookies' stored by the web browser when using another person's machine in order to prevent this from happening. The option to do this is normally found within the Tools dropdown menu at the top of the browser window.

If you have "disabled" the cookies file in your browser, you may experience technical problems with some parts of the site (for example products you have placed in your basket may be lost.)

In the future, we may use cookies to personalise our web site, but we will let you know when that happens.

From 26 May 2011, websites will need user consent to store a cookie on the user's computer or device, unless the cookie is deemed 'strictly necessary' for a service requested by the user.

We are currently reviewing how this change to the law affects Boots.com, the cookies we use and what changes we will need to implement to ensure we're compliant with the law and maintain a great experience for all our users.

For independent information about cookies visit www.aboutcookies.org

Boots.com is not responsible for the content of external Internet sites.

We would like to advise you that Boots.com uses pixels, or transparent GIF files, to help manage our online advertising. These GIF files are provided by our ad management partner, DoubleClick. These files enable DoubleClick to recognise a unique cookie on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our website. The cookie was placed by us, or by another advertiser who works with DoubleClick. We would like to assure you that with both cookies and Spotlight technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. This information does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. For more information about DoubleClick, please click here.

Credit and Debit security assurance

At Boots.com you don't have to worry about your credit or debit card safety. None of our customers have had an instance of fraudulent use of their credit or debit card as a result of purchases made with us.

We are so confident of the security on our site that we back every purchase with our assurance of security. We use encryption to protect all stored personal information (including name and address) and we use a unique key or code to protect all your information as it travels over the Internet.

In the event of unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, most card issuers either cover all of the charges, or may limit your liability to £50. If your issuer does pass on any of the £50 then Boots.com will cover your liability up to £50 provided that the unauthorised use of your credit or debit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at Boots.com.

In the event of unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, you must notify your card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
