our contracted laboratory in the United Kingdom for the purpose of carrying out the tests

3.1.2 you are at least 18 years old.
4. HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US
4.1 After placing an order for the Test via our sites, you will receive confirmation from us
acknowledging that we have received your order.
4.2 All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you
by one of the following means:
4.2.1 Where your order relates to a Kit, by sending you an e-mail confirming that the order
has been accepted and an indication as to when the Kit will be dispatched;
4.3 The Contract will relate only to those Services we have confirmed in the Order
Confirmation. If you place an order for multiple Services we will not be obliged to supply all
of the Services to you simultaneously. You will be informed in your Order Confirmation of
any Services which will require an alternative delivery or appointment date (as appropriate).
5. DELIVERY OF THE KIT
5.1 We will dispatch the Kit to arrive with you on your fifth day of your arrival into the UK.
5.2 We will take reasonable steps to meet the delivery date set out in the Order
Confirmation or as otherwise agreed between us. However, occasionally delivery may be
affected by factors beyond our control and so cannot be guaranteed. We will let you know if
we become aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery date with you.
Please allow extra time for deliveries across bank holidays & weekends, and to the Scottish
Highlands and Ireland.
5.3 If you fail to take delivery of the Kit within 14 days of the date set out in the Order
Confirmation, then, except where this failure is caused by our failure to comply with these
Terms or by an event beyond your control we shall have no liability to you for late delivery
and you shall be responsible for re-arranging delivery of the Kit at your sole expense.
5.4 If we are not able to deliver the Kit within the time scale set out at clause 5.1 due to
operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the Kit as soon as it becomes
available. If the Kit cannot be dispatched within 21 days of the date set out in the Order
Confirmation, we shall notify you as soon as reasonably practicable and you shall be entitled
to cancel the Contract and receive a full refund in accordance with our refunds policy (set out
in clause 8 below).
6. CANCELLATION AND RETURNS
6.1 A Contract may not be cancelled by you at any time after the order has been
dispatched.
6.2 In the event that a Kit delivered to you under these Terms is damaged, faulty or in
some other way unusable in accordance with the instructions provided, you must notify us
within 7 days of receipt of the Kit, confirming the damage or fault to the Kit. Within 7 days of
receipt of such notice we will arrange for a replacement Kit to be sent out to you.
7. YOUR OBLIGATIONS
7.1 When placing an order for a Kit you accept that it is your responsibility to comply with
all and any instruction included with the Kit and to return the Kit to us for testing within the
time limit specified in the Kit. This includes providing a sufficient sample for testing in line
with the instructions. If you fail to provide a sufficient sample, we are not obliged to provide
a replacement Kit.
7.2 When placing an order for a Kit you accept that it is your responsibility to ensure the
sample kit is posted back to the laboratory within any required timeframe and that Latus
Health cannot be held responsible for any delays that may occur in transit. If you choose to
use a Royal Mail trackable service the vast majority of kits will arrive in time, however this is
guaranteed by Royal Mail and not Latus Health. Any turnaround time, including that of any
guaranteed service does not start until a correctly taken sample is received by the
laboratory. Latus Health cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by late receipt of
the testing kit by the laboratory or any delays outside of Latus Health’s control such as for
instance the lack of testing capacity at the laboratory in the case of supply problems.
7.3 When you Order a Test, 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 Latus
Health 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.
7.4 Failure to comply with the provisions of clause 7.1 or 7.1 will not entitle you to a refund
of any price paid for the Services and may affect the accuracy of the results of any tests
carried out on your behalf.
7.5 If you order a test with Latus Health you are consenting to the sample collection
procedure associated with that test or tests and the performance of those tests in any
laboratory. You further consent that the results of any additional tests undertaken may be
shared so as to ensure anyone affected can receive appropriate advice and treatment. You
can withdraw that consent at any point up to when your sample is collected, and our normal
refund and cancellation policy will apply.
7.6 We reserve the right to refuse to process a Kit returned to us for processing if such Kit
is not receiving within 6 months of the date of dispatch, as set out in the Order Confirmation.
8. PRICE AND PAYMENT
8.1 The price of the Services and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our sites from
time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
8.2 VAT is not payable in respect of the Services but may be charged for any other service
offered by us.
8.3 Service prices and delivery charges 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.
8.4 Our sites contain a wide range of Services and it is 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.
8.5 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.
8.6 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.
