Terms of Sale

 

PAYMENT AND BILLING INFORMATION

 

By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, as applicable, an "Order"). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any payment method problems in order for us to proceed with your Order. If you want to change or update your payment method information, you can do so at any time by calling you’re the Vivo Health Mail Order pharmacy or by logging on to your account. If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your payment method information or cancel your Order, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and, with respect to your Order, authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as it may be updated.

In some cases, we (or our third party payment processor) may authorize or reserve a charge on your payment method. The authorization is not a charge. However, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount. In the event that the amount of our authorization exceeds the total funds on deposit in your payment account, you may be subject to overdraft or non-sufficient funds charges by the bank issuing your payment method. We are not responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

All prices on our Services are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. PRICES, PROMOTIONS AND OFFERS DISPLAYED ON THE SERVICES ARE SOMETIMES DIFFERENT THAN THE PRICES, PROMOTIONS AND OFFERS THAT ARE DISPLAYED IN, OR ADVERTISED FOR, VIVO PHARMACY LOCATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, SOMETIMES PRICES ON THE SERVICES WILL BE HIGHER THAN IN-STORE PRICES. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice, including without limitation, as based on geographic or other criteria as we may establish from time to time.

All of the products sold through the Services are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any Order, to reject all or part of an Order, to discontinue offering certain products and to substitute products without prior notice. We strive to provide you with high-quality products, and given the perishable nature of certain products and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. If you are not satisfied with a substitution, please contact us via e-mail at vivo.mailorder@northwell.edu.

TAXES

We will collect applicable sales, use and other tax (collectively, "Tax") on products shipped to jurisdictions for which we determine we have a duty to collect Tax applicable to your purchase. If an item is subject to Tax, you agree that the amount of Tax shown at checkout may be adjusted. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in applicable Tax rates.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING

To make purchases on the Services, you must have a shipping address in New York. In certain instances, we will consider special circumstances, such as when you are traveling. We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, to decide whether to accept Orders from patients traveling out of New York. You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to a purchase before you make your purchase. Generally, we ship products via a third party courier. When you purchase a product through our Services, any shipping times shown are estimates only. Actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain, or direct shipment of, a product for export.

An adult who is 18 years of age or older must be present and have a valid form of identification to sign and accept delivery of controlled substances.

All products purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that when you purchase a product that is fulfilled by one of our third party fulfillment partners, title to and the risk of loss of such product passes to you upon the fulfillment partner’s delivery of such product to the third party courier, and when you purchase a product that is fulfilled by us title to and the risk of loss of such product passes to you upon the third party courier’s delivery of such product to you.

We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, issue a refund or replacement products, or take no action.

PRODUCT INFORMATION DISCLOSURES

While we work to ensure that product information is correct, on occasion manufacturers may alter their product formula and update their product label. Actual product packaging and materials may contain more and/or different information than that shown via the Services, at a pharmacy location, or in an Order confirmation. For these reasons we do not recommend that you rely solely on the information provided via the Services, but should always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. For additional information about a product available for purchase through the Services, please contact the manufacturer. Information and statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Neither Northwell, its content provider(s) nor product manufacturers assume any liability for inaccuracies, misstatements, or omissions. In the event of an error, whether on the Services, at a Vivo Health Mail Order pharmacy, in an Order confirmation or in processing an Order, or delivering a product, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your Order accordingly (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the Order and refund any amount charged.
