6 Cancellation Policy

Our goal is to provide quality healthcare to all our patients in a timely manner. No-shows, late arrivals, and cancellations inconvenience not only our providers, but our other patients as well. Please be aware of our policy regarding missed appointments.

6.1 Appointment Cancellation

When you book your appointment, you are holding a space on our calendar that is no longer available to our other patients. In order to be respectful of your fellow patients, please cancel your appointment as soon as you know you will not be able to make your appointment.

If cancellation is necessary, we require that you cancel at least 48 hours in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your advanced notice will allow another patient access to that appointment time.

6.2 How to Cancel Your Appointment

If you need to cancel your appointment, please go online to https://book.livingcare.co.uk and visit the “Bookings” page under the “My Account” section.

In order to view your bookings you will need to login with the email address and password you used/created at the time the booking was created. If you do not know your password you can reset your password using the “Lost you password” link on the login page.

If you are still unable to access your account you may email [email protected] with details of your booking and/or account information and they will be able to assist you in accessing your account to cancel your appointment. Please do not share passwords and/or payment information with anybody. We will never ask you for this information. In the event you are unable to access your account but wish to cancel your appointment the 48 hours will be taken from the time your initial email is received by our email servers as we recognise that in some cases we may not be able to help you restore access to your account before the 48hour period approaches.

6.3 Refunds

Refunds are manually processed within 72 hours of your online cancellation. For online orders you will receive an email notification once the refund has been processed. Refunded payments are returned back to the original payment method within 7 Business Days of the refund being processed.

Please note, for the products providing Day 2/Day 2/8 testing, we limit the right to refund up until the point of your order being despatched. Once your order has been despatched we are unable to provide a refund for these tests.

For Antigen/Lateral flow testing, please note that the same above policy applies; “Once your order has been despatched we are unable to provide a refund for these tests.”

6.4 Late Cancellations/No-Shows

A cancellation is considered late when the appointment is cancelled less than 48 hours before the appointed time. A no-show is when a patient misses an appointment without cancelling. In either case, we will charge the patient a missed appointment fee of 100% of their original booking cost.

9.1 We will continue to monitor closely the development of the COVID-19 situation in the United Kingdom and abroad.

9.2 In the event that the Services are no longer legally required for travel purposes or for the “test to release” scheme and/or there is no longer significant need for the Services (in the reasonable opinion of LivingCare) from customers, we will provide you with not less than 4 weeks prior notice of our intention to discontinue offering the Services via the contact details which you have provided us.

9.3 We reserve the right to discontinue the Services on the expiry of the notice and to refuse to accept any new Orders received from the date of service of the notice described at clause 9.2.

9.4 If you have Ordered Services but haven’t yet sent your samples back for testing by the time of our notification to you under clause 9.2 you will still be able to send us the samples that require testing during the notice period prior to the discontinuation of the services. If you do not send us the samples within the timeframes specified in the notification to you, you agree that we will not be required to perform the Services you ordered and that we will refund you for the price paid for the Services (excluding a £20 fee for the services provided until any such point that the service ceases).  Refunds made pursuant to this clause 9.4 shall be processed under the terms of clause 6.3.

9.5 We reserve the right at any time to notify you via our website of our intention to discontinue the performance of the Services and to refuse new Orders in accordance with clause 9.2.

10 complaints

11 OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

11.1 We may transfer this Contract to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this.

11.5 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. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

11.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

(a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;

(b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;

(c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

(d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

  1. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
  2. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
  3. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
