You must provide the information when necessary and when you are asked the appropriate question by the expert. Oxford Screening is not responsible for what you choose to do with the advice. Oxford Screening is not responsible for sending you or referring you to a doctor or clinic to be seen, or to another party for any investigations that may be suggested by the Oxford Screening expert.

Unless required to do so by law or by current medical ethics, Oxford Screening will not intentionally reveal your personal details to third party organisations other than those directly involved in providing the Oxford Screening service. Oxford Screening takes all reasonable steps to protect your personal details from unintentional disclosure. But the remote nature of the Oxford Screening service necessarily relies upon communications using email, post and telephone. There are inherent vulnerabilities in using email, post, and telephone and Oxford Screening is therefore unable to give an absolute guarantee that a third party unrelated to the Oxford Screening service will not learn your personal details and the result of any test you may have purchased from Oxford Screening. If you purchase a Oxford Screening test, you accept that Oxford Screening will post the test kit to the postal address you provide. Oxford Screening cannot be held responsible if other people open your post when it arrives at your address. If you purchase an Oxford Screening test, you accept that Oxford Screening will normally email test results to the email address you provide. Oxford Screening cannot be held responsible if other people with access to your email account learn of the existence, nature, or content of the communication between yourself and Oxford Screening. If you provide Oxford Screening with a telephone number on which a Oxford Screening specialist can telephone you, Oxford Screening can not be held responsible if other people with access to that telephone number learn of the existence, nature or content of the communication between yourself and Oxford Screening. The Oxford Screening website contains links to third party websites. Oxford Screening is not responsible for the privacy policies or adherence to these policies of third party organisations. Oxford Screening reserves the right, if you purchase an Oxford Screening test and send in a diagnostic sample, to donate or sell your diagnostic sample to third parties for the purpose of scientific research.

DISCLAIMER To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, under no circumstances will Oxford Screening be liable for any of the following losses or damage (whether such losses were foreseen, foreseeable, known or otherwise): (a) loss of emotional well-being (b) loss of data; (c) loss of revenue or anticipated profits; (d) loss of business; (e) loss of opportunity; (f) loss of goodwill or injury to reputation; (g) losses suffered by third parties; or (h) any indirect, consequential, special or exemplary damages arising from the use of the Oxford Screening service regardless of the form of action.

Oxford Screening will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from the transmission of data as may occur during communications with Oxford Screening. Oxford Screening will not be held responsible for loss or damage that arises from the fact that the remote nature of the Oxford Screening service means that Oxford Screening can not fully replicate the level of emotional support often associated with a traditional doctor-patient relationship. The Oxford Screening website explicitly names groups of people who, in particular, need to make an informed decision about whether they would be better off seeking testing at their own doctor’s surgery or their local hospital where the level of emotional support will probably be greater and where there will be face-to-face contact. By naming groups of people who, in particular, need to make an informed decision about whether they would be better off seeking testing and treatment elsewhere, Oxford Screening does not imply that the Oxford Screening service is necessarily appropriate for everyone else. For some people who fall outside the groups of people explicitly named, the Oxford Screening service is not appropriate and these people should not use the Oxford Screening service. Oxford Screening will not be held responsible for any information that is inadvertently omitted from the Oxford Screening service or for any errors that are inadvertently included within the Oxford Screening service. Anyone who feels that an important omission or error has been made in the Oxford Screening service must contact Oxford Screening immediately by emailing oxfordscreening@aol.com For the avoidance of doubt, Oxford Screening will not be held responsible for any loss or damage that results from inaccuracies on the Oxford Screening website that relate to screening tests. Details about the service offered by the NHS and other providers is liable to frequent change and despite Oxford Screening’s best efforts, the information Oxford Screening provides may, on occasion, be out-of-date. EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE ENGLISH COURTS If any of these terms and conditions should be determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise, unenforceable by reasons of the laws of any state or country in which these terms and conditions are intended to be effective, then to the extent and within the jurisdiction which that term or condition is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from the agreement and the remaining terms and conditions shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable. The above terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
