Each Testing Kit comes with an expiry date and you are required to send the Sample to us within the relevant expiry period or we may not be able to provide the testing services on the Sample provided.

4.3.1 Where you have purchased a Testing Kit for a food/drink intolerance/sensitivity test, the test will be an IgG antibody test. We will use the defined and CE marked YorkTest Laboratories IgG food intolerance/sensitivity test which uses the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to detect IgG antibodies in your Sample.

4.4 For food intolerance testing, the Test Results will be provided for each IgG antibody food/drink reaction categorised into ‘normal reactivity, ‘borderline’, or ‘high reactivity’ and a reactivity value may be provided for each food/drink ingredient tested. We test for over 200 food and drink ingredients for our Premium Food Intolerance Test and over 100 food and drink ingredients for our Junior Food Intolerance Test. We undertake a high standard of quality control processes in our laboratory during testing which may result in reporting of fewer food and drink ingredients than were tested. YorkTest Laboratories’ ELISA analyses are designed to assay specific IgG (subclasses 1, 2, 3, 4) antibodies. The scoring of 0 to 100 provides an indication of the level of IgG antibodies detected through spectrophotometric analysis. The antigens on the panel are subject to change without prior notice. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by YorkTest Laboratories. Test methodology has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

4.5 You agree that our IgG antibody tests are not designed to indicate an allergic reaction to individual food/drinks or food/drink groups covered by the test. We accept no responsibility for any condition or symptoms that you may develop caused by an allergic reaction.

4.6 You agree that raised levels of IgG antibodies within a person’s blood indicates that an IgG antibody reaction to a particular food or drink has occurred. If you have already taken the decision to eliminate a particular food or drink and have not been eating that food or drink for over six weeks, it may not show up on your Test Results.

4.7 Our IgG antibody tests are not guaranteed to identify food/drink reactions that you suffer from, specifically in the following circumstances:
(a) where any food/drink or food/drink group has not been regularly consumed as part of your diet for at least six weeks prior to the test; or
(b) where you are taking prescribed drugs such as immunosuppressant’s, cytotoxic drugs, or steroids, you understand that reactions may be suppressed but that if reactions are present they may be significant.

4.8 You should consult your medical practitioner about any symptoms of allergic reactions in the first instance, and also consult your medical practitioner with your Test Results, particularly in the following circumstances:
(a) if you are unsure of the difference between food sensitivities, food intolerance or food allergies; or
(b) where you are taking any prescribed drugs or medication.
(c) where your results show high levels of reactivity.

4.9 If we offer an allergy test, where you order a Testing Kit for an allergy test, we will test and issue Test Results for your level of IgE mediated food and environmental allergens in the blood. You accept that if you are not currently suffering from clinical symptoms, or have been avoiding a known allergen that this can affect the Test Results and reactions may not show up as positive.

4.10 You accept the presence of IgE antibodies is an indication that you may be allergic to that particular substance (allergen) but is not a definite diagnosis on its own. If you have previously been advised of a food and/or environmental allergy but your Test Result does not show a positive result, you must continue to avoid that known allergen.

4.11 Where you submit the correct blood Sample in relation to any Testing Kits that we offer, then we, or one of our Laboratory Partners, will undertake the test in accordance with its approved procedures. We will then issue the Test Result.

4.12 Quality control measures will be taken when assessing each Sample to confirm that our test system is working correctly. We will not issue a Test Result, unless the quality control measures have passed our defined specifications.

4.13 We and our Laboratory Partners do not retain your blood Sample after testing and will only test Samples which you have instructed us to test (by posting the Sample to us). We do not undertake any DNA or genetic testing.

4.14 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.

7.4 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If we are unable to deliver your order to the address provided in your order and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, the nominated courier delivering your order will contact you, informing you of how to rearrange delivery or to collect the products from a local depot.

If your order has not been delivered in thirty days of our acceptance, you have the option to cancel your order, provided that you have not caused the delay (for example, because you gave us to wrong address or did not re-arrange delivery).

If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those goods (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After this, we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled goods and their delivery. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must post the goods back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you at your delivery address. We will cover the costs of return postage or collection. Please email us at [email protected] for a return label or to arrange a collection

7.8 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under section 7.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

7.9 When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address provided in your order or at the time you collect your order from us. Where you have ordered a Testing Kit, then you will be responsible for the Testing Kit while it is in your possession.

7.10 When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full with the exception of a Testing Kit. If you have ordered a Testing Kit, then you do not own the Testing Kit at any time and ownership of the Testing Kit remains with us. The Testing Kit is provided to you in order for you to provide us with a Sample, which allows us to provide you with a Test Result accordingly.

7.11 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your delivery address. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and section 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result.

(c) up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

11.4 If your product is services, for example a testing service, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
(a) you can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it is not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we cannot fix it.
(b) if you have not agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.

11.5 Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please contact us on the contact details provided above for a return label or to arrange collection.

12. Price and payment

12.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes sales tax) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see section 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

12.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of sales tax. If the rate of sales tax changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of sales tax that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of sales tax takes effect.

12.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

12.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, Maestro and Delta card and some other payment methods from time to time. If you have placed an order by writing to us, then you can send a cheque for the full amount due. Other methods of payment may be accepted at our discretion. You must pay for products and services that you order before we dispatch them. Where you have paid by cheque, we will not despatch your order until the monies have transferred into our account.

12.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% a year above the base lending rate of HSBC’s bank from time to time or such lesser amount that is permitted by applicable law. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

12.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think you have been charged an incorrect amount by us, please contact us promptly via the contact details provided at section 2.2 You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at section 11.2.

13.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

14. How we may use your personal information

14.1 How we may use your personal information. We may use and disclose your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy, at https://www.yorktest.com/us/privacy-policy/

15. Other important terms

15.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 14 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.

15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

15.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.5 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 products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

15.6 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. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.

No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

20. Limitation of Time to File Claims.

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under these Terms of Use or the purchase, registration, or use of any YorkTest product or Services must be filed within one year in an arbitration proceeding. The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.

24. Dispute Resolution

Unless it is settled or otherwise resolved by mutual agreement, any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement (“Dispute”) arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions, the Platform, or the Services, shall be resolved through arbitration administered by Consumer Dispute Resolution Ltd “Consumer Arbitration” (Consumer Arbitration is a trading name of Consumer Dispute Resolution Ltd – company number 09189773, registered in England and Wales at Unit 12 Walker Avenue, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England, MK12 5TW) under its rules for consumer arbitrations. The venue for all such Disputes shall be the United Kingdom but you and we (collectively, the “Parties”) may agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, online and/or solely based on written submissions. You hereby waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum and covenant not to sue us in any other forum. This agreement to arbitrate will be specifically enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. Notice of a demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party hereto and with Consumer Arbitration. Such a notice should be mailed to:

YorkTest Laboratories, Units 2 & 3 Triune Court, Monks Cross Drive, York, YO32 9GZ

The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the dispute has arisen, and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such dispute would be barred by the applicable limitations period. The Parties agree that one (1) arbitrator shall arbitrate the dispute. The arbitrator shall be selected by the joint agreement of the Parties, but if they do not so agree within twenty (20) days after the date of the notice of a demand for arbitration referred to above, the selection shall be made pursuant to the rules of Consumer Arbitration. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall have sole authority to decide whether claims brought by either party (excluding claims brought under the following paragraph regarding intellectual property and preliminary equitable relief claims) are subject to this dispute resolution agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be made in writing, shall be final, judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the decision shall not be subject to vacation, modification or appeal, except to the extent permitted by sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act, the terms of which sections the Parties agree shall apply.

Other than the exceptions listed herein, the arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity (including attorney’s fees) and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the Parties. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator also does not have the power to vary the class action waiver provisions. The fees charged by Consumer

Arbitration shall be shared equally by the Parties. If, however, you are able to prove that the costs of arbitration will be significantly more prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, Yorktest will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. All arbitration proceedings will be confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed to the fullest extent possible under applicable law.

Either party may bring a claim related to intellectual property rights, seek temporary or preliminary specific performance or temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, or seek to bring an individual action in small claims court (provided such claim qualifies to be filed in small claims court), in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the posting of bond or other security). If any term, clause or provision of this Section is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this section will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this section are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
