9.5 Inconclusive or void Covid-19 result. In the event of inconclusive or invalid test results, including void results due to failure of the test kit that we provide, we will offer a replacement test at our cost as soon as possible.

10.2 Suitability of timing of test. Due to the constantly changing global environment and varying country border entry requirements, we are unable to provide guarantees of when samples should be taken in order to satisfy border entry requirements.

It is your sole responsibility to determine when you need to take your test. All purchases are at your own risk.
10.3 Suitability of type of test. Customers travelling to England must check on the Government website the testing requirements required dependent on the country they are travelling from. Due to the constantly changing global environment we are unable to provide guarantees of which test(s) should be purchased and taken. Any information we may provide in this regard to you over the phone, in writing or on our website is purely advisory and we take no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. It is your sole responsibility to determine which test and when you need to take them. All purchases are at your own risk.

18.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later . If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

18.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings .
