‍You may cancel your subscription at any time. There are two ways to cancel your subscription:

Order Refunds

‍Generally, we are not able to issue refunds for orders on the day they are processed.

‍Subject to rights that cannot be waived under Australian Consumer Law, cancellations after the Refund Cutoff Time will not be subject to a refund.

‍The Refund Cutoff Time is 11:59pm the day before the applicable order processing date of your subscription.

‍In some circumstances, if you cancel your order after the Refund Cutoff Time you may receive a refund. Those circumstances are:‍

1. that the pharmacy used to fulfil your order cannot fulfil your order due to lack of stock
2. a product or pricing error is identified
3. a product is faulty

‍If you are eligible for a refund, it will be made using the payment method you used for the original transaction. We cannot process refunds to alternative cards or payment methods.

‍Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns of medication as they cannot be re-used.
