4.2 You place an order for digital content by completing our website order form at https://www.ontrackpharmacy.com/ontrack/buy-access-to-questions. Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it. However, if you need to correct any errors you can do so before submitting it to us.

4.3 When you place your order at the end of the online purchase process (e.g. when you click on the Purchase button), we may acknowledge it by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted – your order is only accepted when you receive an email to confirm your Subscription has been activated as explained in Clause 4.5.

6 Cancellation of the contract

6.1 When you place an order for an immediate subscription to our digital content, you will be asked to tick a box to confirm that you consent for the subscription to ONtrack to start immediately after you place your order by clicking the Purchase button and that you acknowledge that this means you lose your right to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and will be charged a minimum of the equivalent of a 30 day subscription.

6.2 However, even once your access to Pharmacy Knowledge ONtrack has begun, you can end your Pharmacy Knowledge ONtrack subscription with us at any time by contacting us as set out in Clause 6.4. The contract will end immediately and any sums you have paid will be refunded as follows: -

6.2.1 30-day subscription – no refund payable unless Clause 6.2.3 applies.

6.2.2 All other subscriptions – we will refund you the unused portion of your Subscription Fee pro-rated against the length of your subscription up to the date of cancellation less a fee equivalent to the 30-day subscription fee you would have paid, unless Clause 6.2.3 applies. Please note if a discount code was used towards your Subscription, and cancelling your Subscription means you no longer qualify for that discount, we may reduce your refund to reflect this. 

6.2.3 In the following situations we will refund you in full for any Subscriptions which have not been provided:

(a) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Subscription you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

(b) we have suspended supply of Pharmacy Knowledge ONtrack materials for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 14 days; or
