1. Nature of the Service

PharmaClear provides a marketplace platform for registered South African pharmacies to trade dormant or near-expiry medicines. PharmaClear is NOT a pharmaceutical wholesaler or distributor. The legal contract of sale is strictly between the Buyer Pharmacy and the Seller Pharmacy.

2. User Eligibility

Only pharmacies registered with the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) and in possession of a valid RAMS number are eligible to use the platform. Access is subject to administrative approval of submitted documentation.

3. Transaction Fees

a) Pay-per-transaction-only Option (no monthly fees):

PharmaClear charges an 8.5% service fee on each successful transaction, to both the Buyer and Seller each. Thus the Buyer pays 8.5% and the Seller pays 8.5% of the total transaction value.

b) Subscription Option:

A subscription model exists for Chain or Hospital pharmacies. Please contact us for a quotation and presentation for your pharmacy chain.

4. Shipping and Returns

Sellers are responsible for the safe and correct transport of medicines in accordance with GPP (Good Pharmacy Practice). Given the nature of dormant and near-expiry stock, all items are sold "as described". Returns are only permissible if the items received do not match the product description or NAPPI code listed.

5. Payments

Buyers need to pay the value requested on the Payment Request to Buyer to conclude the transaction and enable the Agreement of Sale.

In order to protect Buyers and Sellers, funds are retained in escrow by PharmaClear until goods are received by the Buyer in good order, after which funds will be disbursed to the Seller within 7 days of both parties agreeing that all conditions have been met.

6. VAT

All prices used on the site, invoices and agreements include VAT at the current legal VAT rate for South Africa.

7. Mandatory Disclosures (ECTA)
