Refund Policy
Last updated: 28 August 2026
Nature of Our Products
All products sold by Apothecary Journal are digital products delivered electronically.
No physical goods are shipped unless a product page specifically states otherwise.
Digital Delivery
After successful payment, you will receive access to your digital product by email, download link or another electronic delivery method.
Delivery is usually immediate, although occasional delays may occur because of payment processing, email filtering or technical issues.
If you cannot find your download email, please check your spam, junk or promotions folders before contacting us.
Change-of-Mind Refunds
Because our products are digital and can be accessed or downloaded immediately, we do not normally offer refunds simply because you:
changed your mind
purchased the wrong product
no longer want the product
did not read the product description before purchasing
expected something different from what was clearly described on the product page
do not have suitable software, equipment or printing facilities to use the files
This does not affect your statutory rights where digital content is faulty, not as described or otherwise does not meet the standards required by law.
Your Right to Cancel Digital Content
UK customers normally have a 14-day cancellation period for distance purchases.
However, that right can end once supply of digital content begins if you have:
expressly agreed that the digital content may be supplied immediately, and
acknowledged that you will lose your 14-day cancellation right once supply begins.
This is the rule we apply when providing immediate access to downloadable products.
Where required, you will be asked to give this consent during the purchase process.
If the legally required consent and acknowledgement are not obtained, your statutory cancellation rights may continue to apply.
Faulty, Corrupted or Incorrect Files
Please contact us if:
your download link does not work
a supplied file is corrupted
significant pages or files are missing
you receive a different product from the one ordered
the digital content does not materially match its description
a technical fault prevents you from accessing or using the supplied content as intended
We will normally try to resolve the issue first by:
restoring your access
supplying a new download link
replacing the affected file
supplying the missing content
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, digital content must meet applicable legal standards. Where the law gives you a right to a refund, we will honour that right.
When a Refund May Be Issued
A refund may be provided where:
we cannot supply the digital product you purchased
a significant technical fault cannot reasonably be corrected
the product is materially different from its advertised description
you have accidentally been charged more than once for the same purchase
you otherwise have a statutory right to a refund
Where a statutory refund is due, it will be provided without undue delay and, where required by law, within 14 days of us agreeing that you are entitled to the refund.
Duplicate Purchases
If you accidentally purchase the exact same product more than once, please contact us as soon as possible.
Once we have verified the duplicate transaction, we can refund the additional charge.
Download and Access Problems
If your order confirmation arrives but your files do not, contact us.
Please include:
your name
the email address used for the purchase
your order number, if available
the name of the product purchased
a brief description of the problem
We may ask for screenshots or other information to help us diagnose technical issues.
Product Compatibility
Our products are supplied in the formats described on the individual product page, typically printable digital files such as PDFs.
Customers are responsible for checking that they have compatible software and equipment before purchase.
However, if a product does not work in the way we expressly stated it would, please contact us and we will investigate.
Printing
When printing at home, colours, sizing and print quality can vary depending on:
printer settings
printer model
ink
paper
screen calibration
scaling settings
Minor variations between what appears on your screen and a printed result are not normally considered faults.
Please follow any printing instructions supplied with the product.
Bundles
Where products are sold as a bundle, the bundle is treated as a single digital purchase unless otherwise stated.
If only one part of a bundle is faulty, we may first replace or correct that part rather than refunding the entire bundle.
Where UK consumer law gives you a refund right relating only to part of supplied digital content, any refund may be limited to the affected part of the purchase price.
Sale And Discounted Products
Your statutory rights apply equally to products purchased during promotions, discounts or sales. A discounted price does not remove your legal rights if digital content is faulty or not as described.
Chargebacks And Payment Disputes
If there is a problem with your order, please contact us before starting a payment dispute or chargeback so we have an opportunity to resolve it.
Where a chargeback is made, we may provide the payment provider with relevant transaction information, including order records, delivery records and download or access information.
Refund Method
Approved refunds will normally be returned to the original payment method unless another method is expressly agreed.
We do not charge a fee for refunds required under consumer law.
Your bank or payment provider may take additional time to show the refund in your account.
