Certior Health Terms and Conditions of Sale of Goods and Provision of Services:
Consumer Terms and Conditions
- For users of the service an advance payment is required for confirmation of the booking through the website.
- Any variation, cancellation or waiver of the booking can be made upon request by reaching out to customer service at the email provided and only up to 24 hours before your appointment. In this event, a full refund will be issued. Cancelled within 24 hours, bookings are non-refundable.
- Certior Health shall process all tests in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (IFU) and where required Certior Health shall report test results to the relevant health authority as per the Infectious Disease Regulations.
- All tests carried out by Certior Health are screening tests and not clinical diagnostic tests. Under no circumstances should clinical decisions be solely made on the basis of test results that are derived from tests processed by Certior Health.
- In certain instances, the test may not always give a clear ‘Detected’ or ‘Not Detected’ result and interpretation is required to determine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 the virus that causes Covid-19. This may be due to (1) an Unclear or indeterminate result or (2) an invalid or inhibitory result. If you get an unclear / indeterminate result you will be contacted by the lab to arrange for a retest 24-48 hours after your initial test. For the avoidance of doubt all retests are treated as a new test.
- For group bookings, a no show cannot be refunded as stated earlier. For the avoidance of doubt any tests that are processed, whether used to test a person or not, are deemed to be consumed.
- Certior Health endeavours to deliver the test results in the time defined ie. 4-8 hours. However, in certain circumstances a retest may be required as stated above in which case the time may exceed and it is not the liability of Certior Health.
- All results and data provided by the Test results are for informational purposes only;
- Testing for the presence of a molecular pathogen such as SARS-CoV-2 RNA is technically challenging and relies on the quality of the sample collection and the appropriate transportation and processing of the test, hence the test results will not always be 100% reliable;
- A negative (not detected) test result does not exclude infection and you must continue to follow current health guidelines by the Regulatory Authorities.
- A positive test result of an individual will be reported to the HSE as per the Infectious Disease Guidelines.
- Certior Health assures you that patient confidentiality will be maintained and the EU GDPR regulations will be adhered to, to the effect that all Certior Health employees have signed policies for the same.
- Certior Health shall not in any circumstances whatsoever (whether by reason of negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or otherwise) be liable for any economic loss, damage or expense, whether direct, indirect or consequential (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, loss of profits, business interruption, loss of goodwill or reputation) arising out of or in any way connected with the delivery and/or sale and/or use of the Service whether by the Users/Patients or by any third party.
- In no event Certior Health shall be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damages, including loss of profits, or for any claim by any third party, arising out of the use, the results of use or the inability to use the Tests by the User/Patient.
- Nothing in this clause shall be taken to limit or restrict Certior Health’s liability (i) for personal injury or death resulting from the negligence of Certior Health, its employees and agents; or (ii) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for any other matter for which it would be illegal for Certior Health to exclude, limit or attempt to exclude or limit its liability.

- Non-Partnership: Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create, and Certior Health and User/Patient do not intend to create, any relationship of agency or other fiduciary relationship, partnership or joint venture, nor shall any similar relationship be deemed to exist between Certior Health and User/Patient other than the relationship expressly provided in these terms. This applies notwithstanding any title that may be given to Certior Health in its performance of the Services.

The terms are as follows:
“Consent To Test I consent and authorise Certior Health Ltd to conduct a COVID-19 diagnostic test involving the collection of an appropriate sample through a nose and throat swab. I Understand the Risks I understand that there are risks associated with undergoing any such COVID 19 test to include minor swabbing trauma such as nasal bleeding/irritation. I accept that, as with any COVID-19 test, there is the potential for a false positive or false negative COVID-19 test result. Not an Indication of Immunity. I understand that a positive/detected and/or negative/not detected test is not an indication that I am immune to COVID-19 and therefore I will continue to behave as if I might contract or transmit the infection. I Will Take Appropriate Action. I assume complete and full responsibility to take appropriate action with regard to my test results. I will provide my COVID-19 test result to my GP. I will seek medical advice, care and treatment from my medical provider if I have questions or concerns, or if my condition worsens. No Liability I understand that Certior Health Ltd or any third party does not accept potential liability arising from this COVID-19 test, to the extent that is permitted by law, to include but not limited to any potential liability arising from any minor swabbing trauma such as nasal bleeding/irritation and/or false positive or false negative test results. I understand that neither Certior Health Ltd nor any third party accepts liability for any missed flights/ferries/travel accommodation due to late or inaccurate results. Process and Sharing of Data By authorising Certior Health Ltd to conduct a COVID-19 diagnostic test, I note that Certior Health Ltd will be processing my personal data for the purposes of medical diagnosis and research, and will be obliged to share a positive test result and my personal data with the HSE. Sharing with HSE in line with Infectious Disease Regulations, I consent to my COVID-19 test result being shared with the HSE. Statistical and Auditing Requirements I understand that my test result may be used in a breakdown of percentages report which may be shared with third parties for statistical and audit purposes but I understand that this is not considered to be personal data as I will not be identified in any such report.”
