Terms of Service

Please read the following important terms and conditions before you buy anything from our website and check that they contain everything you want and nothing that you are not willing to agree to.


Summary of some of your key rights:

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that in most cases, you can cancel your order within 14 days (beginning the date after the contract is entered into). We will not therefore start the Covid Testing Services until this period has expired unless you agree that we may start during the 14 day period. If you agree the Covid Testing services will start within this time by ticking the relevant box when you place your order, you may be charged for the part of the service that has already been carried out (or the full cost if the services have been provided in full) if you subsequently cancel. Please note that if you cancel your order we will also charge you for the cost of the sample collection kit. The charges will be deducted from any refund.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
• you can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it;
• if a price hasn't been agreed upfront, what you’re asked to pay must be reasonable;
• if a time hasn’t been agreed upfront, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
This is a summary of some of your key rights. For detailed information from Citizens Advice please visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 0808 223 1133.

    4 DESCRIPTION OF OUR SERVICES
    4.1 The services that you may order from our website are Covid Testing services and/or LFD Services.
    4.2 Descriptions of the Covid Testing services and LFD Services we offer can be found on the relevant pages on our website. Please find a link to our Covid Testing services here and a link to our LFD Services here.
    4.3 We will not provide you with any medical and/or clinical advice as part of providing the Covid Testing services or LFD Services to you.
    4.4 We use the current state of the art research and technology to provide our Covid Testing services and LFD Services to you. As such, you acknowledge that we may update the techniques we use from time to time to reflect any new research and technologies that may be developed to ensure that we provide you with the best services and that it may not be possible to notify you prior to us implementing these new techniques. We will keep you reasonably informed with any changes to how we carry out the services we provide. Any changes that we make to how we carry out the Covid Testing services or the LFD Services, will not affect the validity of your test results.
    4.5 Please note that we use a third party as our contractor to provide the LFD Services and whilst we will remain responsible to you for the provision of these services you will need to download an app from Certific for you to be able to use them. The Certific app is available in the App Store and Play Store. Please also note that if you want any support services from Certific you will need to contact them direct on certific@certific.co and their terms apply to those support services.


    5 ORDERING SERVICES FROM US
    5.1 Below, we set out how a legally binding contract between you and us is made.
    5.2 You place an order on the website by following the process outlined on our website. Our website will make it clear what the process to conclude a contract is through our online checkout process. Please read and check your order carefully before submitting it. You will be able to correct any errors before submitting your order to us.
    5.3 When you place your order at the end of the online checkout process (e.g. when you click on the ‘pay now’ button), we will acknowledge it instantly on the webpage. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted by us. We will contact you by email letting you know whether your order is accepted – we have explained this further in clause 5.5 below. Placing an order means that you must pay us for the services (but only if we accept your order).
    5.4 We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. This is typically for the following reasons:
    5.4.1 we cannot authorise your payment;
    5.4.2 you are not allowed to buy the Covid Testing services or LFD Services from us because you don’t meet the age restrictions relating to the services e.g. because you are under the age of 18. Age restrictions can be found in the description of our products and services on our website;
    5.4.3 we are no longer an authorised provider of Covid Testing services by the UK Government or we are not allowed to sell the Covid Testing services or LFD Services to you under laws applicable in the UK and as published in the FAQ section of our website; or
    5.4.4 there has been a mistake on the pricing or description of the Covid Testing services or LFD Services.

    5.5 When we reach our daily inventory and/or daily testing capacity, which will be published on the product page and in the FAQ section of our website (see clause 8.2 below also), we will not accept any further orders on that day and our ordering system will close so that you cannot buy any Covid Testing services and/or LFD Services. Our daily inventory and/or daily testing capacity will reset and reopen on the following day and we will accept orders for the Covid Testing services and/or LFD Services until we reach our daily inventory and/or daily testing capacity.

    5.6 We will only accept your order when the payment is processed successfully and we email you to confirm acceptance (Confirmation Email). For the avoidance of doubt, if the payment mechanism fails, then there is no order and no acceptance email will be sent. At this point:
    5.6.1 a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us; and
    5.6.2 we will provide the Covid Testing services or LFD Services as agreed during the online checkout process.
    5.7 If we do not accept your order your payment method will not be charged.
    5.8 If you are under the age of 18 you may not buy Covid Testing services or LFD Services from the website.
    5.9 If you are not allowed to receive the Covid Testing services or LFD Services under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are resident or from which you use the services, you may not buy the services from the website.

    5.10 If you need to update your contact details after you have placed an order on our website, you must contact us as soon as possible by sending an email to contact@dantelabs.com to ensure that we can contact you about your order if required.
    5.11 When you place an order on our website, you agree to follow the process as set out below in relation to the Covid Testing:
    5.11.1 You will order a personal sample collection kit for the Covid Testing.
    5.11.2 Once you are ready to collect your sample (which must be within three (3) months of receipt- see clause 8.4 below for further details), you must register your sample collection kit (using your Booking Reference Number via the link provided in the separate email we send to you, prior to returning your sample collection kit. You accept that if you do not register your sample collection kit prior to returning the sample collection kit, we will be unable to proceed with the analysis of your sample collection kit and will destroy it.
    5.11.3 We will send you another free sample collection kit (up to a maximum of three (1) time) to allow you to collect the sample again if we cannot perform the Covid Testing services purchased on the sample you have provided.

    5.11.4 If you do not use the sample kit and send it back to us, or have used the sample kit but have not sent it back to us after three (3) months of receipt, we will be unable to test it as the sample collection kit has a shelf life and will have deteriorated beyond its useful life. We will automatically refund, to your chosen payment method, the amount you paid for the services but will deduct the amount of the sample collection kit from the refund payable. 

    5.12 When you place an order on our website, you agree to follow the process as set out below in relation to the LFD Testing:
    5.12.1 You will order a personal sample collection kit for the LFD Testing.
    5.12.2 Once you are ready to collect your sample (which must be within three (3) months of receipt- see clause 8.4 below for further details), you must download the Certific App, and self-administer the sample collection in accordance with the instructions for use while being recorded and reviewed by Certific to ensure you have taken the test properly. You accept that if you do not download and use the video recording service while self-administering the test, our contractor may not be able to proceed with the analysis of your sample collection kit and the test may not be able to be validated.
    5.12.3 We will send you another free sample collection kit (up to a maximum of one (1) time) to allow you to collect the sample again if the LFD Testing services cannot be validated.
    5.12.4 If you do not use the LFD Testing sample kit and send it back to us within three (3) months of receipt, we will be unable to test it as the sample collection kit has a shelf life and will have deteriorated beyond its useful life. We will automatically refund, to your chosen payment method, the amount you paid for the services but will deduct the amount of the sample collection kit from the refund payable.


    6 RIGHT TO CANCEL
    6.1 You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days starting on the day after the contract between us is formed. We will not therefore start the Covid Testing Services or LFD Services until this period has expired unless you agree that we may start during the 14 day period. If you agree the Covid Testing services or LFD Services can start within this time by ticking the relevant box when you place your order, you may be charged for the part of the service that has already been carried out (or the full cost if the services have been provided in full) if you subsequently cancel. Please note that if you cancel your order we will also charge you for the cost of the sample collection kit in respect of each service. The charges will be deducted from any refund.
    6.2 The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract, starting on the following day.
    6.3 To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. by sending an email) by contacting us at contact@dantelabs.com or by completing the cancellation form on the FAQ section of our website.
    6.4 To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
    6.5 6.5 This does not affect the rights you have if the Covid Testing services or LFD Services are defective. A summary of these rights is provided at the top of this page. See also clause 11 below.


    7 EFFECTS OF CANCELLATION
    7.1 If you cancel this contract within the cancellation period, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you unless you requested for us to start providing the Covid Testing services or LFD Services during the cancellation period, in which case you must pay us:
    7.1.1 for the services we provided up to the time you told us that you want to cancel this contract, which will be an amount in proportion to the performed up to that point in comparison with the full price under this contract; or
    7.1.2 the full price under this contract, if you lost your right to cancel this contract because the services were fully performed (i.e. the work was completed) during the cancellation period.
    7.2 Please note that if you cancel this contract we will also charge you for the cost of the sample collection kit in respect of each service, if we have already sent the sample collection kit out to you when you cancel this contract. The charges will be deducted from any refund.
    7.3 We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
    7.4 We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.


    8 CARRYING OUT OF THE COVID TESTING SERVICES
    8.1 We will carry out the Covid Testing services or LFD Services by the time or within the period set out on the product pages and in the FAQ section on our website. We will also confirm timescales in our Confirmation Email.
    8.2 Both of us and our contractor have limited testing capacity and can only process up to a defined number of tests each day. We will, therefore, only sell a limited number of Covid Testing services and LFD Services each day.
    8.3 Our carrying out of the Covid Testing services or the LFD Services might be affected by events beyond our reasonable control (e.g. we or our contractor suffers a fire or flood at the lab or there is an electricity outage which means that equipment can’t be used). If so, there might be a delay before we can start or restart the Covid Testing services or LFD Services, having made reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and having kept you informed of the circumstances. We will try to start or restart the Covid Testing services or LFD Services as soon as those events have been fixed. If your Covid Testing services or LFD Services are affected by an event or events beyond our reasonable control, we will provide you with a refund of the amount you paid to us if you contact us using the contact details at the top of these terms and conditions.
    8.4 The sample collection kits we send out as part of our Covid Testing services or LFD Services have a maximum lifespan of three (3) months. Once this time period has been reached, we are unable to carry out the Covid Testing services or LFD Services. Further information can be found in the FAQ section of our website. If you return a sample collection kit after its expiry date we will automatically refund, to your chosen payment method, the amount you paid for the services but will deduct the amount of the sample collection kit from the refund payable.

    9.3 Your credit card or debit card will only be charged when we accept your order.
