A contract will come into existence between you and us at this point, and not before.

3.3. If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the relevant product or service. This might be because we are unable to provide you with Covid-19 test services at the location you have selected, the applicable law or regulation might have changed, the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the availability of our services, in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.4. Acceptance of your order is conditional on you providing us with certain information about you, which may include your name, address, date of birth, contact details and your identification document number. Where we provide Covid-19 test services to you, we will ask you to confirm if you had any symptoms of Covid-19 in the preceding 14 days.

3.7. Our Clinics will be processing healthcare related data. By placing an order you consent to allow us and the Clinic to process your order. This means confidentially emailing your order confirmation, payment receipt, sending your results to you and contacting you by phone and email when necessary.

If we have confirmed to you that you are required to download the App and you do not do so, we may not be able to supply our services to you.

5.6. We, our Clinics and other partners may be legally required to share certain information about you in relation to your test with Public Health England and other government organisations. Such information may include your test results and your personal data. For details of how we handle your personal data, please see clause 13 – how we may use your personal information.

5.7. Where we provide you with Covid-19 test services, even though we strive to achieve the highest quality of test analysis and adhere to best industry standards and practices, due to the nature of the tests being performed we cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of the test and there might be rare circumstances where the result might show a false positive or false negative. We do not accept any liability for any inaccuracies of the tests and their consequences, unless we are at fault (see clause 10.12). Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Covid-19 tests provide only an indication of a positive or negative reaction; (ii) for the Covid-19 tests, as with all screening tests, in a certain number of cases there can be incidences of false-positive and false-negative results; (iii) that the Covid-19 test kit may not be effective for mutations of the virus.

6.3. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products and/or services is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

We reserve the right, however, to change prices at any time without notice to you (save that any changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have sent you an order acceptance email).

9.2. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the price shown on the checkout page is wrong. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

  • If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products or services provided to you.
  • If you think the price at checkout is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.

9.3. When you must pay and how you must pay. You can pay for our products and services online on our website. Emergency appointments can be paid for either online on our website or in Clinic.

Payment may be debited and cleared from your account before the dispatch of the products you ordered or before we start providing you the services.
  • You confirm that the credit, debit card that is being used is yours. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us we will not be liable to you for any delay or non-delivery.
  • If your credit or debit card payment is not processed successfully for any reason, we reserve the right to reattempt to process payment within 48 hours.

Where you have purchased the product as a consumer (i.e. for private use as opposed to business use), please note that you are entitled to cancel any contract completed with us within 14 days from the day on which you acquire physical possession of the product.

  • All products must be returned unused and in the original packaging as they were in when received by you. Please ensure that when you receive a product that you take reasonable care of it when inspecting it, such as please ensure that any security seals or tags are still intact.
  • You do not have a right to change your mind once the product has been unsealed after you receive it.

10.8. When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:

10.8.1. if the products are faulty;

10.8.2. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

  • In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.

10.9. What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. The costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery.

10.10. How we will refund you. We will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.

10.11. Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) if the product is damaged and we reasonably believe that the damage has been caused by you.

10.12. Your right to end the contract if we are at fault.
