Afaxys Pharma Return Goods Policy
Effective: 01 March 2022
Afaxys® values your business and we appreciate the opportunity to serve you. Our commitment to affordability and access is supported by a return policy that best assures management of costs, security of the product supply chain, and compliance with applicable laws for the benefit of all customers.
You can assure quick and correct request processing by reviewing and following the below instructions and policy. Afaxys processes requests for product refund, credit or replacement of its products in accordance with this policy only from parties that purchased product from an Afaxys Authorized Trading Partner for purposes of resale in the normal course and/or dispensing to patients (and customers for OTC products). To the extent applicable state law or Afaxys contracts provide different or additional return rights, those other laws and/or contractual rights will apply as required.
For all product issues at receipt (quantity, shipping damage) please contact your wholesaler for immediate resolution. For any questions regarding this policy, please contact CustomerReturns@Afaxys.com
