Acceptance of orders
Working with industry-leading secure payment processors, we validate your order and the payment 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 email to the email 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 once despatched 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 any items are not available and you paid using a debit/credit card or PayPal you will not be charged for the cancelled items. If you paid using an eVoucher or Boots Advantage Card points, you will be given a refund for the amount paid for the items.

We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards and PayPal. Payment will be debited from your account when we despatch your order. We also accept Boots Advantage Card points, which will be debited when the order is placed.

All orders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. We may submit your order to DataCash Fraud Services who securely review orders on behalf of boots.com to eliminate fraud and safeguard our customers’ transactions. We may also submit your address, date of birth and the value of your order to Experian Ltd. We will not be liable for any delays that this may cause to your order. 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 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, BFPO addresses and stores.

Colour reproduction
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.

Price information
Boots.com has taken great care to ensure prices are accurate. Prices may change over time, so if you use your previous orders within 'order history' as a way of re-ordering items, prices on your previous order may no longer be valid. However, the correct prices will be applied when the products are added to your current basket.

All prices include VAT where appropriate. Promotions and prices you see in Boots high street stores do not always apply to boots.com, and vice versa.

Prescription medicines
The Online Prescription Delivery Service is provided by Boots UK Limited. For details of the service and for pharmacy FAQs, click here. We may invite you to give feedback on Boots services you’ve used or take part in market research activities such as customer surveys, questionnaires or focus groups. Although, the invitation may be sent to you by third party agencies on our behalf.

Trading name and address
Boots.com is a trading name of Boots UK Limited Registered Office, Nottingham, NG2 3AA. Registered England 928555 VAT number 116 3001 29A member of Walgreens Boots Alliance.

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 are in Boots shops and other locations.

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.

In order to buy an eGift voucher, you must be registered to boots.com. A recipient of an eGift voucher must have a valid email address, and although it is possible to receive an eGift voucher without being registered to boots.com, it is not possible to redeem before registration.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to collect Boots Advantage Card points when buying an eGift voucher. However, points are awarded when the eGift voucher is redeemed.

Our eGift vouchers may only be redeemed on boots.com, towards the purchase of items listed on boots.com, sold by boots.com. They cannot be spent in any of our other shops or with Boots Opticians.
When payment is made with an eGift voucher, your account is debited immediately upon order acknowledgement.

This eGift voucher has a cash redemption value of 0.001p and is not transferable or assignable.

Any unused balance will be placed in the recipient's eGift voucher account.

If the order exceeds the amount of the eGift voucher, the rest of the balance must be paid by credit or debit card, or by PayPal.

If you request a refund for an order paid for by eGift voucher, your refund will be processed to the same eGift voucher account. Unfortunately it is not possible to issue refunds to alternative payment types.

eGift vouchers and unused portions of eGift vouchers expire one year from the date of issue.

Buying or redeeming eGift vouchers is subject to our normal terms and conditions and order validation procedures.

Promotional discount is not valid when buying eGift vouchers, although it is available when the eGift voucher is being redeemed.

Boots.com reserves the right to remove, block or deactivate eGift voucher accounts without notice. 

Through our mailings and email service we try to keep customers informed of carefully selected special offers that are available on the products you regularly buy from us. If you are a Boots Advantage Card member* this service can ensure you immediately know about the most generous points offers. However, we do understand that you may have a few questions to ask us before you sign up so please check our Boots Advantage Card FAQs for more information.

*For UK Advantage Card members only.
