Making A Purchase
How do I place an order?
When you have found an item that you wish to buy click the 'Add to Cart' button to add it to your shopping basket.

When you have finished shopping click the 'Checkout' button to proceed to delivery and payment.

You will be asked to register with the shop and create a password to process your order, this will also enable you access your account details at a later date. We will ask you for a delivery address for your goods. You will only have to do this once, after that you will just be asked for your email address and password. If you are already registered with Infection A2Z you will still need to register as we are required to keep separate details for the on-line store.

At checkout, you can review and amend your order details on the Order Summary page. Once you are happy with your order click 'Next', then you will be presented with the Order Confirmation page. Check that everything is correct and click 'Pay Now'.

Payment process
You will then be transferred to the secure WorldPay website where you will need to enter your payment method to complete the payment process.

Once the payment process is complete WorldPay will send you a confirmation of your credit card transaction. We will also send you an order confirmation through our store. Please keep these for your records as they act as your VAT invoice and proof of payment.

We can accept the following payment methods:
Credit cards: Mastercard, Visa
Debit cards: Maestro, Solo
Cheque: Sterling cheques drawn on a UK bank, with a UK address
If accompanied by an authorised purchase order or purchase order number we can supply goods on invoice. This service is within the UK only.

How to cancel items from an order
You can cancel or amend any order placed with HealthcareA2Z, provided that the order has not yet entered the despatch process. Please contact us at sales@healthcareA2Z.org for further assistance.

As soon as we receive notice of your order cancellation, we will refund the relevant part of the purchase price for that item together with the item's normal postage charge - we cannot refund any priority, express or courier component of the postage charge.

Tax Charges
All prices shown include VAT (except books and leaflets, which are zero-rated for VAT purposes). When a zero-rated VAT item, such as a book, is ordered together with a fully rated VAT item, such as a CD-ROM, VAT must also be charged on the cost of postage and packing.

VAT is chargeable on all goods delivered to the UK or other EU member state addresses. However, if the delivery address is in the EU, and you can quote a valid VAT number, then we do not have to charge VAT on your purchases.
 
Credit Card Security
We do not store your credit card details on our website at all. When you place an order, before you enter your credit card details you will be transferred to the World Pay website.

WorldPay's payment systems provide very high levels of security including remote data storage, state of the art encryption techniques and continual enhancements to ensure that their technology remains world class.

When you place an order you will receive an email from us informing you of the acceptance of your order and another one from World Pay confirming the transaction on your credit card.
 
Guarantee
Our 10-day returns guarantee means that if for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, you can return it to us in its original condition within 10 days of the date you received the item, unopened (with any seals and shrink-wrap intact) and we will issue a full refund for the price you paid for the item - see our Refunds Policy. Unfortunately, we cannot accept return of downloaded items. This guarantee does not affect your statutory rights.

By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to withdraw from the purchase of an item within seven working days of the day after the date the item was delivered. This applies to all of our products except for digital download items where the item has been downloaded. We regret that we also cannot accept cancellations of contracts for the purchase of CD-ROM, DVD, audio, video and software products where the item has been unsealed. To cancel your purchase within the seven-working-day cooling-off period, please contact us at sales@healthcareA2Z.org. For more information on your right to withdraw from your purchase within the seven-working day cooling-off period, visit the Department of Trade and Industry's website.
