In that case, the User shall be informed of the new MRP at the stage of processing the order and before the acceptance of the order by MedSolutions India.

- Shipping and Delivery
5.1 The User confirms and acknowledges that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, all online and offline sales shall be deemed concluded as soon as a sale invoice is raised by MedSolutions India at its Licensed Premises, irrespective of the User’s delivery location. Such sale shall be final, binding and conclusive irrespective of the mode of payment and delivery opted by the User. The User shall have an option to pick the most suitable payment and delivery mode from amongst the options given on the Website. Once a sale invoice is raised and if the User so requests, MedSolutions India shall, on behalf of the User, dispatch the Products to the delivery location by a courier or any other mode of delivery of its choice, unless chosen otherwise by the User.
5.2 Products ordered may be charged with shipping fee which is typically based on the higher of the volumetric (i.e., dimensional) or the actual weight of the order, the mode of shipment opted, the destination of the shipment, the type of package, the content of the package and the total order amount of the shipment. Relevant taxes, fees and surcharges shall also be applied.
5.3 Subject to the User instructing MedSolutions India to arrange delivery for the Products on its behalf, MedSolutions India shall endeavor to ship/deliver the Products within 48 to 96 hours of placing the order, depending on the destination of the order and the ability of the third party logistics companies, all of whom are separate and independent of MedSolutions India, to deliver the Products ordered to that destination. However, in case of any delay in shipping and delivery, MedSolutions India assumes no liability whatsoever regarding the deterioration of the patient’s health. User allows MedSolutions India to deliver the order within a reasonable time, notwithstanding any timelines committed by MedSolutions India at the time of the placement/acceptance of order. For immediate and urgent needs, including those for emergencies or life-threatening situations, and for the situations where the extent of time taken to deliver the Products to the patient is critical and, hence, has to be minimized, the User/patient is strongly advised and urged to purchase the Products from the nearby retail chemists.
5.4 Emergency deliveries may be available but cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in case User needs any Product immediately or urgently, MedSolutions India strongly recommends going to a nearby retail chemist store to purchase it instead of ordering it through the Website.
5.5 By default, the shipping address to be used to deliver Products to User is the one which MedSolutions India has on file in User’s account with MedSolutions India (please refer to paragraph 2.1 above) at the time of placing the order by User. It is User’s responsibility to review, verify and update the address in User’s account before placing his/her order. If User enters the wrong address or does not update his/her address, MedSolutions India shall not be obliged to re-send the order to User’s corrected or new address.
5.6 The User shall be responsible to inform MedSolutions India if an order does not arrive within the expected or stated time. Once MedSolutions India is informed that an order has not been delivered, it shall investigate the reasons for the delay. MedSolutions India shall not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from a late delivery.
5.7 All deliveries of Products that require the User to upload a prescription shall be accompanied by a “sticker” containing the name and address of MedSolutions India as well as the date on which the prescription Product(s) was/were dispensed. The User undertakes and warrants to put the sticker(s) on its original prescription, above the signature of the medical practitioner, immediately upon receiving the Products. In case the User does not receive the sticker, it shall immediately inform MedSolutions India about it.
- Return, Refund and Cancellation Policy
6.1 In the event that the User receives a damaged or incorrect Product, MedSolutions India shall refund the original Product price, delivery, wrapping and other fees via the original method of payment after the damaged or incorrect Product is returned to MedSolutions India at its cost and per its satisfaction. Alternatively, if the User requests a replacement, MedSolutions India shall dispatch the replacement item (subject to availability) once the damaged or incorrect Product is returned at MedSolutions India’s cost and per its (i.e., MedSolutions India’s) satisfaction. The returned Product shall be in the same condition as it was delivered and shall be dispatched back by the User within 7 days from the date of receipt. Refunds shall be processed within 21 business days from the receipt of the damaged or incorrect Product in accordance with this clause. Every order successfully delivered shall be assumed to have been received with full satisfaction of the User if no communication is received by MedSolutions India within 7 days from the date of delivery and no claims of any nature shall be entertained thereafter.
6.2 In the event that User has placed an order but the Product is out of stock or unavailable for any other reason or is not delivered within the stipulated delivery timeline mentioned on the Website and User chooses to cancel the order, MedSolutions India shall refund the payment so processed back to User’s account through which the initial payment was made. Such refund process shall also be completed within 25 days from the date of the original payment. Without limiting the operation of any other Terms herein, MedSolutions India shall not accept liability for any late delivery or loss or damage arising from items lost, stolen or damaged after a successful delivery has taken place.
6.3 Once an order placed by User has been delivered to him/her, User cannot cancel the order. User may, for a genuine unavoidable reason, which must be shared with MedSolutions India within a reasonable time after the successful delivery of the order, return the delivered Products back to MedSolutions India at his (i.e., User’s) own cost and request credit for it. In turn, MedSolutions India may, at its sole discretion, being satisfied with the reasons provided by the User, credit the money to the User’s account for future orders. Further, MedSolutions India reserves the right to deny the privilege of placing orders based upon cash payment to a user who is deemed by MedSolutions India, in its sole discretion, of abusing or otherwise using inappropriately the privilege of placing orders based upon cash payment. Such a situation may occur if User places 2 or more orders based upon cash payment terms and declines or is not available to take delivery for these orders. MedSolutions India shall not be under any obligation to warn User before denying the privilege of placing orders based upon cash payments to him/her.
6.4 MedSolutions India may use any third party logistics company, including a courier company, for the purpose of delivering Products. All of these logistics companies are separate and independent of MedSolutions India. In such a case, if any damage or delay is directly or indirectly attributed to such a third party, MedSolutions India shall assume no liability whatsoever and will ask User to makes all claims against such third party company. Customer should not accept the delivery of any damaged or visibly tampered package. He/she should not open such a package. Instead he/she should return it immediately to the courier who delivered the package and inform MedSolutions India immediately about it.
