Effects of withdrawal

Users who correctly withdraw from a contract will be reimbursed by the Owner for all payments made to the Owner, including, if any, those covering the costs of delivery. However, any additional costs resulting from the choice of a particular delivery method other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by the Owner, will not be reimbursed

22.8

In order to claim the refund or credit to which clause 22.7 entitles them, Users must return their goods within 14 days of receipt of them, either in person, to a Corona Test Centre clinic, or by post to Xmedical Ltd, c/o Corona Test Centre, 224 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6PJ.  Refunds or credits will be issued only if returned goods are unopened and undamaged, and the User’s name and order number must be clearly written on the package.  A return form must also be fully completed and returned with the goods.

In any event, the User shall not incur any costs or fees as a result of such reimbursement

Effects of withdrawal on the purchase of physical goods to be used at home

In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, if so permitted or stated under the applicable law.

25.18

Without prejudice to the above, the nullity, invalidity or the impossibility to enforce a particular provision of these Terms shall not nullify the entire Agreement, unless the severed provisions are essential to the Agreement, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract if they had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship on any of the parties.

Exception for European Consumers

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

28
HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US 
28.1

After placing an order for an appointment at our Corona Test Centre clinic, you will receive an Order Confirmation. Your order constitutes an offer by you to purchase our Services, and that you consent to those services. Once an appointment has been made for you at the time and date that order will be accepted by us and you will be subject to our normal cancellation policy.

28.2

All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by email to confirm the details of your appointment, including the location of the clinic at which the Services are to be provided; (together the "Order Confirmation”).  The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you confirmation. The Contract will relate only to those Services we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation.

29
CANCELLATIONS AND REARRANGEMENT OF APPOINTMENT POLICY 
29.1

If you exercise your Right of Withdrawal during the first 14 days of entering into our Contract, (or, in the case of an application for a Covid-19 Recovery Certificate, during the period between submission of your application and issue of the Covid-19 Recovery Certificate by us) you will be entitled to full reimbursement of any and all fees paid. You can find details of your Right of Withdrawal at clause 22.

29.2

The following arrangements apply once your Right of Withdrawal expires, which is 14 days after you enter into our Contract.

29.3

If you cancel your appointment at least one hour before it was due to take place, you will be able to claim a full refund or credit for the cost of it.  Alternatively, you can reschedule your appointment at least 1 hour before it was due to take place without incurring any additional charges in respect of the rescheduled appointment.  However if you subsequently cancel the rescheduled appointment at any time before it is due to take place, you will be entitled to claim a credit in respect of the charges you have paid, but not a refund.

29.4

If you cancel an appointment less than 1 hour before it was due to take place, you will be entitled to a credit in respect of the charges you have paid, but will not be entitled to a refund.  The credit issued can be used to pay for a rescheduled appointment, and any subsequent rescheduling or cancellation will attract a credit but not a refund

Our Refunds Policy

29.5

If you exercise your Right of Withdrawal during the first 14 days of entering into our Contract, (or, in the case of an application for a Covid-19 Recovery Certificate, during the period between submission of your application and issue of the Covid-19 Recovery Certificate by us) you will be entitled to full reimbursement of any and all fees paid. You can find details of your Right of Withdrawal in our Terms and Conditions at clause 22.

29.6

Our Refunds Policy applies once your Right of Withdrawal expires, which is 14 days after you enter into our Contract (or, in the case of an application for a Covid-19 Recovery Certificate, on the earlier issue by us of the Covid-19 Recovery Certificate).

29.7

If, following your application for a Covid-19 Recovery Certificate, we decline to issue the Covid-19 Recovery Certificate, you may be entitled to full reimbursement of fees paid. Exceptions to this would include (but not be limited to) situations where it is suspected that evidence uploaded for approval has been tampered with or is not true and accurate.

29.8

This is with the exception of all Travel Test Packages that contain a Day 2, Day 8 or Day 5 Test to Release test listed on our Website. All Travel Test Packages are non-refundable. This is because these packages contain mandatory government tests that require you to enter a uniquely generated Booking Reference into your Passenger Locator Form (PFL) to gain entry to the UK as an international arrival after purchase. These tests are a legal requirement for entry to the UK.

29.9

Failing to take your mandated government tests is a criminal offence and carries a fine of up to £2,000.

29.10

‍Supplying this Booking Reference to you is considered by the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) as services rendered and thus, you will not be eligible for any refund.

29.11

Therefore, in this case, there will be no legal obligation for Corona Test Centre to provide a refund in these circumstances. All Travel Test Packages must be used within 30 days of purchase.

29.12

As an alternative to cancellation and refund, we may discuss other options with you such as credits or vouchers for future use, but where a legal right to cancellation and refund exists, your right to a cancellation and refund will always be an option.

29.13

Refunds will be provided in one of the following ways:

29.13.1

Payment made via bank transfer – the appropriate amount of refund will be repaid to a nominated bank account of your choice; or

29.13.2

Payment made on a credit or debit card – the appropriate amount of refund will be repaid to the relevant credit or debit card.

Please contact us on hello@coronatestcentre.com if you would like to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

29.14

Refunds will not be issued to Users who have been refused entry on the basis of a User’s unreasonable refusal to wear a face covering. 

29.15

If a User buys a Day 2 and Day 8 Travel Test Package by mistake and can provide evidence of their full vaccination status in the UK, EU or USA and they have not already sent to their Corona Test Centre their sample, Corona Test Centre will refund the User the difference between a Day 2 test and a Day 2 and Day 8 Travel Test Package.

Refunds in respect of failure to meet turnaround times for test results

29.16

We will offer you a choice of either a refund or credit where we fail to meet turnaround times for test results in accordance with clauses 44.7, 45.6, 46.13, and 47.8.

29.17

Any applicable refunds will be offered in accordance with and subject to clauses 29.11 to 29.13.

Credits issued under this agreement

29.18

Any credit which you receive under this agreement shall remain valid for a period of ninety (90) days from the date it is issued by us. Any amount of credit which is unused at the end of this period shall expire. You may use any such credit to purchase other products produced by us, including home tests, clinic tests, or recovery certificates. You may not transfer or assign any credit issued by us to any other individual or party.

30
YOUR OBLIGATIONS

When booking an appointment you accept that it is your responsibility to attend the appointment at the time and on the date specified in the Order Confirmation and to comply with any instructions provided to you at that time.

30.2

When you book an appointment, you accept that you have requested a method of communication for results, if this method fails, or is not available, or in the opinion of Corona Test Centre an alternative method of communication is in the best interests of you and public health, an alternative method of communication with you may be used.

30.3

If you book any appointment with Corona Test Centre you are consenting to the sample collection procedure associated with that test or tests and the performance of those tests in any laboratory.  

30.4

31
PRICE AND PAYMENT
31.1

The price of the Services will be as quoted on our sites from time to time, except in cases of obvious error and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.

31.2

VAT is not payable in respect of our in clinic services, but may be charged for any other service offered by us including home test kits.

31.3

Service prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.

31.4

Our site contains a range of Services and it's always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services listed on our sites may be incorrectly priced.  We will normally verify prices as part of our Order procedure so that, where the correct price of a Service is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount to you.  If the correct price of a Service is higher than the price stated on our sites, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before providing the Order Confirmation, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

31.5

We are under no obligation to supply the Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.

31.6

Unless expressly agreed otherwise by the parties, payment for all Services must be by credit or debit card.  We accept payment with Visa, Maestro, Mastercard, Visa Electron, AMEX, and Delta.  We will not charge your credit or debit card until after we have issued the Order Confirmation.

31.7

We may in our sole discretion offer you a discount from time to time on the price of our Services.  

Zero Tolerance Policy

31.8

Corona Test Centre takes it very seriously if a member of staff or one of the doctors or nursing team is treated in an abusive or violent manner.  

31.9

Our staff should be able to come to work without fear of violence, abuse or harassment from Users or their relatives. To successfully provide our services a mutual respect between all staff and Users has to be in place. All of our staff aim to be polite, helpful and attentive to all Users’ individual needs and circumstances. They would respectfully remind Users that very often they are confronted with a multitude of varying and sometimes complex tasks and situations, all at the same time. The staff understand that given the circumstances caused by Covid-19, Users do not always act in a reasonable manner and will take this into consideration when trying to deal with a misunderstanding or complaint.

31.10

However, aggressive behaviour whether violent or abusive will not be tolerated and may result in you being removed from the clinic list and the Police being contacted.

31.11

In order to maintain good relations between Users and the clinic’s staff, we ask all Users to read and take note of the types of behaviour that would be found unacceptable:

31.11.1

Using bad language and/or swearing at clinic staff.

31.11.2

Any physical violence towards any member of staff or other Users, including but not limited to pushing and shoving.

31.11.3

Verbal abuse towards the staff in any form.

31.11.4

Racial abuse and sexual harassment will not be tolerated.

31.11.5

Persistent or unrealistic demands that cause stress to staff will not be accepted. Requests will be met where possible and explanations given when they cannot.

31.11.6

Taking photos or videos when in and around the clinic.

31.11.7

Causing damage and/or stealing from the clinics, staff or Users.

31.11.8

Attending the clinic under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol will not be tolerated and will result in immediate refusal of entry, or removal from the clinic.  

31.11.9

Resisting the test sample being taken accurately and in line with our procedures.  

31.12

We ask that you treat all staff members courteously at all times.

Removal from Clinic list

31.13

Removal from our clinic list and exemption from booking future appointments at one of our clinics is an exceptional and rare event. It is the last resort in an impaired User-clinic relationship, where trust has irretrievably broken down and it is in the User interest as well as the clinic that the individual finds a new Covid-19 testing centre.

32
our liability 
32.1

If we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, we shall only be liable to you for the purchase price of the Services.

32.1.1

Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits our liability for:

32.1.2

death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

32.1.3

fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

32.1.4

any breach of the obligations implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979;

32.1.5

defective Services under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or

32.1.6

any other matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability.

32.2

You agree that your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We cannot and do not warrant that the tests performed as part of the Services will be 100% accurate due to the nature of the tests being performed. You further confirm that you have read the information provided on our Website. You also acknowledge that infections may remain undetectable for several months, and it's recommended that if you have any concerns with the results you should consult with your own medical practitioner.

32.3

All data is on an anonymous basis including, but not limited to: age, gender, location, tests and the results of the test remains the property of Corona Test Centre.

32.4

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the booking process.

32.5

To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, we disclaim any and all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, in relation to the Services. We do not warrant that the results that may be obtained from the use of the home test kit will be 100% accurate or reliable. The use of the home test kit and your results are provided ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ for your use. You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, or incorrect use of, the home test kit is at your sole risk. We accept no liability for inconclusive or incorrect results wherever the sample has been collected, even if it is in one of our Corona Test Centre clinics due to the nature of the tests being performed. 

32.6

For the avoidance of doubt, we are not liable for any loss or damage suffered by you due to:

32.6.1

Incorrect use of the home test kit or instructions; or 

32.6.2

Factors outside our control such as delays in the postal system or by delivery couriers. 

32.7

If you are using our Services in connection with international travel, it is your responsibility to keep up-to-date with the latest applicable travel, entry and other regulations and guidance. Where we provide information on travel regulations and timescales on our Website or via our clinic staff, this information should be checked with the relevant authorities before you commit to making plans. Travel and entry requirements are constantly being updated by the UK Government. Clinic staff are not trained to provide international travel guidance. We will not be held liable for damages resulting from inaccurate information provided on travel regulations and timescales. 

32.8

We are not liable for additional losses. Save for where it is unlawful to do so, we are not liable for any losses suffered by you as a result of using a product which is subsequently subject to regulatory change or where it is subsequently found to be inadequate or inaccurate as a result of research and development in sample collection and testing.

32.9

We are not liable for business losses. We only supply our Services for personal and private use to Consumers. If you use the Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. 

32.10

We work hard to ensure that the complicated and ever changing world of Covid-19 testing and international travel is made a simple as possible. However, if you think we’ve got something wrong please contact our customer support team who will be happy to advise and will escalate so we can make things clearer hello@coronatestcentre.com.

If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
