Order Process Overview

Your order via our online purchase order system constitutes an offer to us to buy the products you select from the Website. All orders are subject to availability and to acceptance by us. We reserve the right to refuse to accept an order. We will send you an email acknowledging receipt of your order. All communications will be addressed to the email address you supply when you register. Please note that this does not constitute acceptance by us. The contract for purchase of the product is formed when we send you an email dispatch confirmation.

You may select items from our range of products to purchase, details of which will be added to the "Shopping Cart" by clicking on the "Purchase" button. By clicking on the "Proceed to Checkout" button in the Shopping Cart, you submit an offer to buy the goods in the Shopping Cart. As soon as this offer is accepted by us via an Acceptance Email  your order becomes a binding contract of sale between you and us.

Please note that due to BOCA toothpastes being made in small batches there could be longer delivery time than when purchasing traditional  “off the shelf” mass produced products. We will aim to keep you informed of the expected delivery time for your order.

You will automatically be sent an email confirming receipt of your order (the "Confirmation Email") with a summary of the details of your order, which we would recommend that you  keep this for your own records. The Confirmation Email does not constitute our acceptance of your order; it merely records the fact that we have received your order. Please check that all details in the Confirmation Email are correct. If you do not receive a Confirmation Email please contact us immediately on info@bocatoothpaste.com

 

We will normally send a second email when we dispatch your goods which shall constitute our acceptance of your order (the "Acceptance Email") at which point a binding contract of sale will be concluded between you and us. We will file a copy of any orders that are accepted by us. Please note we do not allways send this email. 

Please note that we only obtain from our shipping partners a confirmation of posting which we can provide to you. We therefore do not track the order. If your order is not delivered we cannot offer any refund but will investigate the incident on your behalf. In the event that your order does not arrive within a reasonable time please email us with your order number with the words- ORDER NOT ARRIVED in the subject line. 

When you purchase from BOCA the name BOCA will be shown on PayPal and your credit or debit card or other payment processor.

SUBSCRIBING CUSTOMERS

For customers that have selected to receive regular deliveries of products by way of a subscription, Boca will send the replacement products at the default frequency of 8 week delivery intervals. The delivery frequency can be amended by the customer who can login to the web site and alter their delivery frequency. 

 

FOR SUBSCRIBING CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE SELECTED TO BE PART OF THE TUBE REFILL & REUSE SYSTEM TRIAL.

For toothpaste subscribing customers in specified countries only, Boca is operating a trial to determine which route of refill and reuse is the most acceptable and easy for the customer. Two routes are currently on offer.

1/ Ongoing shipments of the toothpaste will be in cellulose refill cartridges that will require the customer to clean out the empty tubes and either insert the cartridge or squeeze the contents of the cartridge into the tube and be sealed with clip.

2/ The customer sends the empty tubes back to us at the address below so that we can clean them and refill them and seal them with clip. Boca will ensure that you receive two new tubes before you need to send the used tubes back to us in the box that you received the new tubes in.With this rotation system Boca will pay for the postage.

We reserve the right to use different packaging for shipping the products to the customer, this will mainly be due to the lack of supply of the cardboard but could be to ensure better protection of the product for different shipping partners or countries.

Any change in legislation in any territory or country could require us cancelling a customers subscription or order. These changes are out of our control and we may not be made aware of proposed or implemented changes. This could mean that you may have paid for product(s) but we are unable to fulfill your order. We will once we have fully investigated the issue aim to refund any customer who has paid for a product but has not received it due to these changes. There may be instances where we have shipped your order and a change in legislation or, import taxes or other takes place within a territory or country before it arrives, in these instances we will seek to resolve the matter with each individual customer. 

Shipping and delivery partners: Our distribution centres are in the UK and Europe. A new shipping agent is being established in Malaysia for shipping to Malaysia (terms of shipping will be updated here) When shipping to the UK and EU from date of order the shipment is anticipated to take up to 7 working days. When shipping to other countries we anticipate around 15-20 working days for delivery (however this may vary widely) . In all locations we are dependent on the local postal services and these are out of our direct control. If you need updates on shipping relating to your order please email us at info@bocatoothpaste.com quoting your order number and postal address and we will endeavour to locate your shipment within the system. 

It is our aim to reduce the amount of shipping required and over time we will be establishing alternative more localized fulfillment centres.
