2) Definitions

In these Terms:

• Account means the user account created to access PharmX.
• Authentication Code means any unique code, access code, login code, or similar credential issued to you to access extra PharmX resources or protected Services.
• Content means all materials, services, and resources provided by PharmX including videos, notes, slides, PDFs, A4 sheets, question banks, MCQs, mock exams, web apps, and any other learning materials.
• Services means all products and services offered by PharmX, whether paid or free.
• Membership means a paid access plan shown at checkout, currently including a one-month membership and a 1-year membership.
• You / User means the person accessing or using PharmX.

3) Eligibility

You may use PharmX only if:

• you can legally enter into a binding contract; and
• you comply with these Terms.

PharmX is designed for UK trainee pharmacists, but may also be used by international learners and others.

4) Account Registration & Security

4.1 Accurate information

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when registering.

4.2 Security responsibility

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your Account.

4.3 No sharing / no transfers

Your Account and any Authentication Code issued to you are personal to you and must not be shared, sold, transferred, published, sublicensed, or allowed to be used by anyone else.

If another person uses your Account or Authentication Code, or if you use another person's Account or Authentication Code, this is treated as a serious breach of these Terms.

4.4 Device/session/IP monitoring

We may use reasonable technical measures to detect and prevent account sharing or abuse. To help prevent abuse of the platform, the following information may be monitored:

• device fingerprint
• device type and browser information
• approximate location information
• coordinates, where available from IP geolocation services
• location source
• IP address
• Internet service provider (ISP)
• language settings
• timezone
• login timestamps, concurrent live sessions, rapid logins from distant approximate locations, and unusual access pattern detection

We do not ask your browser for precise GPS location for account-sharing checks. Location signals used for these checks are based on network/IP data available to our hosting and security providers.

If our systems detect code sharing or other abuse, we may display a warning to active sessions, record the event for admin review, notify PharmX, suspend or remove access, and refuse refunds where permitted by these Terms.

5) Purchases, Plans & Billing

5.1 Products offered

PharmX currently offers, as one-time purchases:

• a 6-month membership, paid once for 6 months of access;
• a 12-month membership, paid once for 12 months of access; and
• a Team membership covering multiple licences, paid once and arranged on request.

A recurring monthly membership was previously offered and is now closed to new sign-ups. Members who already hold a monthly membership continue on their existing terms (see Section 5.2) until they cancel.

Not all plans may be available at all times. Available plans will be displayed at checkout.

5.2 Monthly membership (existing members only)

The monthly membership is closed to new sign-ups. If you already hold one, it is billed automatically on a recurring monthly basis unless cancelled before the renewal date.

You can cancel anytime through your account settings (where available) or by contacting us. Cancellation stops future billing, and you retain access until the end of the current billing period unless access is terminated due to breach.

5.3 6-month and 12-month memberships

6-month and 12-month memberships are paid once, upfront, and provide access for 6 or 12 months from purchase respectively, subject to these Terms. They do not renew automatically.

5.4 Pricing

All prices are shown at checkout. We may change pricing from time to time, but changes will not affect a membership period you have already purchased.

5.5 Payment processing

Payments may be processed via third-party payment processors. By paying, you agree to their terms as well.

5.6 Agreement at checkout

Before completing checkout, you must confirm that you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You must not purchase or use PharmX if you do not agree.

6) Refund Policy (14-day policy)

6.1 14-day refund on your initial purchase

We offer a 14-day refund period beginning on the date of your initial purchase (your first payment for a Membership).

Refunds may be provided even if you have accessed content, provided that:

• the request is made within 14 days of your initial purchase; and
• there is no breach, abuse, or policy violation connected to your account.

6.2 Recurring renewals are non-refundable

Monthly memberships held by existing members renew automatically (see Section 5.2). The 14-day refund period applies only to your initial purchase and does not reset, restart, or repeat on renewal.

Any renewal payment taken after the initial 14-day period — including the renewal at the end of your first month and every renewal after that — is non-refundable.

It is your responsibility to manage your membership and cancel before your renewal date if you do not wish to be charged for the next cycle. You can cancel at any time at manage.pharmx.co.uk. Cancelling stops future renewals and you keep access until the end of the current billing period, but it does not reverse a renewal payment that has already been processed.

6.3 6-month and 12-month memberships

The 14-day refund period applies from the date of purchase of a 6-month or 12-month membership. After 14 days, the membership is non-refundable, including for any unused portion of the access period.

6.4 How to request a refund

Email: [email protected]

Include:

• your name
• email used for purchase
• order details
• reason for request (optional, but helpful)

6.5 No refunds for breaches

You will not be eligible for a refund if:

• you shared your Account, login credentials, or Authentication Code;
• you engaged in prohibited copying (screenshots, recordings, exports);
• you copied PharmX-authored Content verbatim — the whole platform or any part of it — into any location outside the PharmX platform, including for personal use;
• you attempted to resell, distribute, or republish PharmX Content;
• you were removed for misconduct under Section 12.

6.6 Refund processing

Approved refunds will be returned to the original payment method where possible. Processing times depend on the payment processor/bank.

12. Copy or paste any PharmX-authored text — the whole platform or any part of it (MCQ questions, MCQ answers and explanations, mock paper questions and answers, slide text, or any other written Content) — into any location outside PharmX, including for personal use.

Any breach may result in immediate termination without refund, a permanent ban from PharmX, and legal action.

Where account sharing, code sharing, content leakage, or other misuse causes loss, disruption, investigation costs, enforcement costs, or legal costs, we reserve the right to pursue recovery of those sums and any other remedies available under law. The amount claimed will depend on the seriousness and impact of the breach and may be substantial.

Certain Content may be downloadable (e.g., PDFs, A4 sheets, slides).

Where downloads are enabled:
