1. SERVICE

a. “We” are The City & Travel Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 12514445 with our registered office at 98, First Floor, Lansdowne House, 57 Berkeley Square, London, England, W1J 6ER.
b. “You” are the customer and have either accessed our website, entered one of our clinics or called our telephone number and intends to place or has placed an order for our Product(s).
c. Throughout our service, website and during any telephone call or written correspondence between you and us these terms and conditions along with our Privacy policy will apply. If there is any conflict between these Terms and any terms or conditions found elsewhere on our website, or in any written or verbal communication between you and us, these Terms will prevail.
d. By purchasing our service, you are giving CT Clinics and its partner laboratory The Doctors Laboratory Ltd your informed consent to perform the tests you have ordered.
e. Services are offered subject to availability at the times of booking. CT Clinics may, at any time, without notifying the client make any change to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable safety or other statutory requirements, or which are deemed necessary by the business to uphold standards of service. In any event, CT Clinics maintains that you the customer will not be disadvantaged.
f. Scientific research is continually unveiling new markers of disease and identifying additional roles for existing markers. CT Clinics reserves the right to update or amend tests included in all available services without notice.
g. CT Clinics recommends two levels of Packages for valuable service provision. Should a client select or request alternate services, they do so at their own risk. Any deviation from the recommended “Tailored” may not necessarily benefit you as a customer.
h. Tailored testing or alternative/additional services are not in line with the recommended CT Clinics packages. CT Clinics reserves the right not to specialise in, interpret or consult upon tailored tests. Such services are subject to different costs, timeframes and CT Clinics cannot be held responsible or liable for any services selected by any client.
i. You acknowledge that the testing included in packages provided by CT Clinics can potentially help identify signs and risk factors for potential health problems. Although comprehensive in nature, these Programmes cannot screen for all possible diseases or health conditions.
j. Based on the results of your test(s) and/or other information that you have provided to us, we may recommend that you purchase a follow-up consultation with a CT Clinics GP or seek advice from your usual healthcare provider. You agree that you are solely responsible for acting on such guidance and that CT Clinics accepts no liability in the event you choose not to do so.
k. You should not use our services in an emergency, or if you have a condition that you know will require a physical examination. CT Clinics specialises in wellbeing, we are not designed for acute emergency service.
l. Validated reference ranges determine whether a result is in range or out of range. Reference range is the range of values for a physiologic measurement in healthy persons. A test result that is in range does not guarantee that an individual is completely free of any health problem or disease. Equally, an out-of-range result is not a definitive indication that a health problem is present. Should the laboratory supplier fail to provide reference ranges for any test or service, CT Clinics may deem it inappropriate to report the result. On occasion, inter-laboratory variability exists. CT Clinics does not accept any responsibility in overseeing long term trends.
m. CT Clinics packages include many markers that are not routinely available. The information included in a CT Clinics report regarding the potential implications and clinical significance of an out-of-range marker, and the set reference ranges are based on current evidence from scientific and medical research. All information is assumed correct at the time of printing; however, future research into markers of disease may alter clinical significance and CT Clinics will amend prospective reports accordingly.
n. Results may vary depending on the individual’s medical history, current health problems and medications (prescribed or otherwise), or supplements and consideration of all such factors is necessary when interpreting results. You acknowledge that the Services provided are not a substitute for a medical diagnosis or consultation with a GP. Furthermore, you accept that test results can vary over time and may change if repeated in the future.
o. Reference ranges do not consider pregnancy or paediatrics, and therefore some test results may vary in pregnant women and children.
p. In the unlikely event that a client’s test result is above or below a critical threshold and requires more immediate attention, a member of the CT Clinics will contact the client, (usually by telephone) as soon as the test result becomes available and subject to the contact details provided by the client being correct and attainable. CT Clinics does not accept any responsibility for any incorrect contact details provided.
q. As part of our services, CT Clinics offer Doctor Consultations at an additional cost whereby you can discuss and explain testing and associations during your consultation; however, if you require further medical input we strongly encourage you to discuss with a GP or your usual healthcare provider.
r. CT Clinics will use its reasonable endeavours to provide the Services within the timescale indicated to the client; however, the timescale should be regarded as provisional and CT Clinics will not be liable for any delay in providing or completing the Services.
s. CT Clinics strives for excellence and accuracy when reporting test results. However, on rare occasions, anomalies can occur during laboratory analysis, for example, issues with sample collection or processing errors. CT Clinics will endeavour to identify and correct any such issue. Additional samples may be required, if remaining sample is insufficient for repeat analysis. And as a consequence, results/reports may be delayed, or the client may receive an interim report temporarily whilst total results are compiled for the client.
t. You will be asked to complete a short personal medical lifestyle questionnaire (PMLQ). This information is required to generate your personalised results report. You accept responsibility that the information that you provide in the questionnaire is accurate. If you do not wish to provide this information, we may be unable to provide our services.
u. You accept and consent that the information that you provide will be used by CT Clinics and our GPs for the purposes of preparing your results.
v. CT Clinics may use your information for scientific research and development. We are permitted to use this information, following data anonymization. All personal identifiable information is removed. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.
