Terms of Service

These terms cover mancro.net. Using the site means reading its figures, holding them against your own week, and following its links. They are written for that use and no other.

Prices and availability

Every price on this site comes from our own catalog data, and the whole catalog is refreshed on a schedule described on our updates page. Between two updates a figure can move. Where the price at the till differs from the price here, the till is right, and we would rather you knew that before you clicked than after.

A piece with no live offer is not published at all. If something you saw here last month is gone, it is because we do not keep pages for things nobody can buy.

Where the sale happens

No order is placed on this site and no payment is taken here. Payment, delivery and returns are handled at checkout with our retail partner, not on this site. Their terms cover the transaction, the delivery estimate, the return window and anything that goes wrong with the parcel.

Milk, medicine and the limits of a bag

This is a bag, not a refrigerator, and nothing here is medical advice. The federal guidance is specific and worth reading in full: freshly expressed milk keeps about four hours at room temperature, four days in a refrigerator, and, the line that matters for a cooler bag, up to twenty-four hours in an insulated bag with frozen ice packs while you are traveling. Once it is cold it has to stay cold until it is used. Our insulated bags are built to hold that cold for a commute and a working day; how long they hold it depends on how many bottles are inside, how warm the day is, and how often the bag is opened. If a feed has been out longer than the guidance allows, the guidance wins, not the bag.

A medicine bag organizes what a pharmacist dispensed. It does not change what the label says, and nothing on this site is medical advice. Two things are worth taking from the national guidance. First, storage: a damp bathroom cabinet can weaken a medicine before its expiry date, and the advice for most medicines is a cool, dry place away from a sink and away from hot appliances, which is the case a soft bag can make and a car glovebox cannot. Second, children: about thirty-five thousand young children a year reach an emergency room after getting into medicine that was within reach, and the national campaign asks specifically that medicines carried in bags, purses and pill organizers be kept out of sight and reach as well. A lockable zip helps with the second point. It is not a substitute for putting the bag up high.

What we do not claim

A water-resistant shell is not a waterproof one: it handles rain on a walk to the station and it is not a dry bag for a canoe. A combination lock deters an opportunist; it is not a safe, and a determined thief with a knife is not in scope. A charging port is a socket and a cable, not a battery. Where a page says otherwise, the page is wrong and we would like to know.
