OptimallyMe Terms & Conditions are comprised of two constituent terms and conditions. These are OptimallyMe Customer Terms and OptimallyMe Website Terms & Conditions. The details of both these Terms are provided under their respective headers below.

OptimallyMe Customer Terms

These OptimallyMe Customer Terms govern your order, and our performance, of the services we make available from www.optimallyme.com (the “Site”), a website operated by OptimallyMe Ltd (“we”/“us”/ “our”). PLEASE READ THESE OPTIMALLYME CUSTOMER TERMS CAREFULLY. BY SUBMITTING AN ORDER FOR SERVICES TO US YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE OPTIMALLYME CUSTOMER TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE OPTIMALLYME CUSTOMER TERMS, YOU MUST NOT SUBMIT ANY ORDERS FOR SERVICES TO US. You acknowledge and agree that the Services are not a substitute for emergency medical services, actual medical diagnosis or consultation with a doctor, and that the information contained in the Recommendations and Advice does not constitute medical advice and/or recommendations for medical treatment and you will not rely on it as such.

INFORMATION ABOUT THESE TERMS 

4. These OptimallyMe Customer Terms do not apply to:
   (a) your use of our website generally. Instead, please refer to our OptimallyMe Website Terms & Conditions which is made available below; or
   (b) our processing of personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us. Instead, please refer to our Privacy Statement which is made available here. 
5. We may revise these OptimallyMe Customer Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. The version of the OptimallyMe Customer Terms which exist at the time you place your order will be the terms which govern the Services contract. Please check this page before you submit an order for Services, as this version may be different from the version(s) which applied to the previous order(s) for Services you submitted. References to the OptimallyMe Customer Terms in this document refer to the OptimallyMe Customer Terms as amended and updated and in place from time to time. 

GEOGRAPHICAL RESTRICTIONS 

6. OptimallyMe’s Services are not available to customers in locations outside the United Kingdom. Customers access our Site and the Services on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws. 

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SERVICES 

7. The services which you are ordering consist of:
   (a) Delivery of a blood/DNA sample kit (“Kit”) by an external third party laboratory (“Laboratory”);
   (b) Blood/DNA testing which is carried out by a Laboratory (as further detailed in clause 8); and
   (c) General Lifestyle, Dietary, Supplement recommendation and referral to your healthcare practitioner presented via your account dashboard (the “Services”). Please note that, as well as via the Site, we may also sell or give away Kits at physical stores, trade shows, at popups or other similar promotions where the recipient of the Kit is not yet registered with us (“OptimallyMe Retail Kit”). References to Kits in these OptimallyMe Customer Terms include references to OptimallyMe Retail Kits, in all instances except where the reference is specific to making an order online. 
8. The blood testing is carried out by a Laboratory engaged by us. We reserve the right to change the Laboratory from time to time without notice. We will pay the Laboratory directly for both the Kit and the blood testing services on your behalf at cost. The cost of this will be shown separately on our invoice to you.
9. The recommendations and referral to your healthcare practitioner will be based on biomarker data and health assessment which are collected via tests, connected devices and health assessment on our website.
10. If you have any questions about the Services, please email support@optimallyme.com and we will arrange a consultation with our team. The Services do not include any telephone or in-person consultation with a doctor.
    
11. We will endeavour to ensure that we will endeavour to provide you with most accurate recommendations based on research and studies.

SUBMITTING ORDERS AND FORMATION OF CONTRACT 

12. To submit an initial order, you must register for or log in to your account on the Site (“Account”) and, via your personal profile dashboard, provide the requested information. 
13. Our acceptance of your order for Services will take place when we email you to accept it, at which point a Services contract will come into existence between you and us on the basis of these OptimallyMe Customer Terms. You confirm that you request immediate performance of this contract for Services. 
14. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by email and we, on behalf of the Laboratory, will not charge you for the Services (or shall refund you). For example, in the case of unexpected limits on resources which we or the Laboratory could not reasonably plan for. You acknowledge that a refund of any amounts paid will be your only available remedy if we are unable to accept your order after it has been placed. 
15. For Customers not opting for our subscription product, if you request further blood tests (including retests), each such request constitutes an additional and separate order which we will notify you as being accepted by us pursuant to these OptimallyMe Customer Terms. 
16. For Customers opting for our subscription product, your initial order constitutes acceptance of the OptimallyMe Customer Terms for all subsequent tests. 

PRICE AND PAYMENT 

17. The price of the Services (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages of the Site when you placed your order. We will provide you with an invoice on request, which, as per clauses 8 and 9 will set out the Laboratory’s costs of the Kit and the blood/DNA testing services.. 
18. Payment of the price of the Services shall be made at the time you place the order. We will not accept your order for Services until payment has been received by us. As per clauses 8 and 9, we will pay the relevant amounts to the Laboratory on your behalf.
19. For Customers opting for our subscription product, Payment for subsequent tests will take place on the next test date specified in your dashboard. 
20. For Customers who have ordered a one-off test, but have a recommended retest date for a subsequent test, Payment will only take place if the Customer confirms they want the test. 

BLOOD and/or DNA TESTING PROCESS 

21. Unless you are handed a OptimallyMe Retail Kit or purchase one from a member of our team in person, we will usually post the Kit to you on the next working day after we have accepted your order. This Kit is for you to collect your own blood sample in accordance with the blood collection protocols provided, and contains instructions on how to submit your blood sample along with a return form and shipping label to the laboratory. You must complete your personal details on the form provided entitled “return form” – and also on the blood sample(s). You acknowledge that blood samples that are not fully and correctly labelled cannot be processed. It is not possible to make changes to the return form once it has been sent to the Laboratory. 
22. The validity of the Kit will expire after 120 days of delivery to you, so you are required to collect and post your blood sample to the Laboratory using the returns label within that period. You acknowledge that test outcomes depend on the quality of the blood sample provided by you, so you agree to adhere to the blood collection protocols provided. If you do not follow these protocols a defective or partial test result may occur. We may, at our discretion, give you the opportunity of retesting free of charge if a partial result is reported by the Laboratory, and/or similarly if your blood sample was clotted at the time of receipt by the Laboratory. 

THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADVICE

23. We anticipate that the Results will typically be available within 2-7 working days from the date your blood sample is received by the Laboratory. We will notify you by email that your Account dashboard has been updated accordingly. 
24. The Recommendations are prepared on the basis of your blood sample, data gathered from connected devices, MirrorMirror and the information which you have provided to us, without access to your full medical records. Whilst tailored to your personal information, you understand the Recommendations are generic in nature. 
25. This means that(i) you must not rely on the Recommendations to diagnose or treat suspected or actual medical conditions; and (ii) you are solely responsible for any actions you do (or do not) take before and after receiving recommendations, and when you take (or do not take) such actions. 
26. We recommend that you always consult an appropriate medical professional for advice on your specific circumstances and situation, in particular before adopting any of the general healthcare or lifestyle advice offered in the Recommendations and Advice or otherwise via the Services. 
27. You accept that any incomplete or inaccurate information on your health profile may lead to incomplete or inaccurate interpretation and healthcare and lifestyle advice. 
28. You assume full responsibility for reading, and drawing conclusions from the results and Report obtained from use of the Services (including the Recommendations and your Account dashboard) and understand that we do not offer follow-up consultations based on the results.

29. Subject to clause 30, you will have no right to cancel the Services contract and receive a refund if we have made available the Results and Recommendations via your Account dashboard within 21 days of the day after we have accepted your order (or within 60 days if test you bought was a DNA test) pursuant to clause 13; as we and the Laboratory would have fully performed the Services contract as it relates to your order. This provision will apply in a similar manner to each subsequent re-test that you request and order we accept. 
30. If you have a right to cancel the Services contract and wish to do so, you must email us at support@optimallyme.com with details of your order (including the date it was accepted, your name and any order reference number we provided to you) and a clear statement that you wish to cancel your Services contract, in either case before the expiry of the 21 day period (or before the expiry of the 60 day period if the test you bough was a DNA test) referred to in clause  29. For subscription Customers you can cancel your Services contract through the website at any time. 
31. If you cancel a Services contract within this 21 day period (or within this 60 day period if the test you bought was a DNA test), you will (subject to any deduction permitted by law – as detailed in clause 32 below) receive a refund for all money paid by you for the Service contract. The refund will be made as soon as reasonably possible, but not later than 21 days after the date on which we were informed about your decision to cancel the Services contract. We will reimburse you using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you expressly agree otherwise. 
32. We reserve the right to deduct the following reasonable amounts which we consider to be in proportion to what Services have been performed up until the point you communicate cancellation to us: (a) If your blood sample has been received by the Laboratory before the date that we receive notice of your decision to cancel the Services contract, but you have not yet received the Report, we will refund you 10% of the relevant Service price; or (b) If you have not sent your blood sample to the Laboratory for testing before the date that we receive notice of your decision to cancel the Services contract, we will refund you the relevant Service price less £10.00. The £10.00 is used to cover the costs of the Kit and postage. The kit can be disposed of by recycling the card and placing the rest in general waste. All other circumstances will be assessed on a case by case basis. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. 
33. Apart from your cancellation rights above: (a) if you inform us and can demonstrate that the Kit received is within reason damaged or defective, you will be entitled to a replacement or, where we are unable to send you a replacement Kit within a reasonable time, a refund of the relevant Service price; and (b) if the Service is not otherwise carried out to the standard outlined at clause 11, you can require repeat performance or, where we or the Laboratory are unable to perform the repeat Services within a reasonable time, a refund of an appropriate amount. 
34. Nothing in these OptimallyMe Customer Terms will affect any statutory or other rights you are entitled to by law 

OUR RIGHT TO CANCEL THE SERVICES CONTRACT 

35. We may end the Services contract at any time by written notice to you if:(a) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us or the Laboratory to provide the Services;(b) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow the Laboratory to deliver the Kit to you; or(c) you do not, within the time period referred to in clause 22, send your blood sample to the Laboratory. 
36.

YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

37. By placing your order, you agree and represent to us that you are legally capable of entering into this binding agreement between you and us; that you are at least 18 years old and you have completed an accurate and up-to-date request form identifying the blood sample as one taken from yourself. We shall have no liability for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions in any information provided by you in connection with the Services, or any action taken by us or the Laboratory at your direction. 
38. By placing your order, you acknowledge the potential impacts and risks of taking your own blood sample, and that (subject to clause 39) you are proceeding on the basis that you accept full responsibility for any outcomes or consequences that may arise from this. 
39. You acknowledge and agree that the Services are not a substitute for actual medical diagnosis or consultation with a doctor, and that the information contained in the Recommendations and Advice does not constitute medical advice and/or recommendations for medical treatment regarding any aspect of your health, medicine intake, nutrition or lifestyle. 
40. You acknowledge that the Recommendations and that the information contained in it may not be comprehensive (including information which could be obtained through blood testing but was not identified in your Recommendations for any reason). 
41. You acknowledge and agree that in rare cases, viable blood samples cannot always be taken from the blood sample actually provided. 
42. You acknowledge and agree that minor inter-laboratory variability exists. Consequently, where minor variability is seen, for example upon tracking an individual test over time, such minor variability is tolerated and you assume overall responsibility for overseeing your long-term trends. You also agree that on occasion, because of inter-laboratory variability, minor changes may throw two adjacent test points narrowly inside and outside of ‘normal’ reference range but are essentially indicating insignificant variation.
