Terms & Conditions

You agree to these Terms and Conditions, which prevail over any Terms, Conditions, Waivers or Consent agreed with or given to the Point-of-Care Provider ("Provider"). The Testing Service given by the Provider includes sample collection and processing to give a positive or negative screening result. You may have been referred or linked to our service by a third-party ("Affiliate"). The types of test, dependent on the selected Provider and testing location are:

• Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
  
• Reverse Transcription Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP)
• Antigen
• Antibody

Countries only accept certain types of test, with RT-PCR tests being the most common standard. Some countries require more than one type of test to be conducted (e.g. RT-PCR and Antibody).Sample collection methods are test-dependent and include:

• Nasopharyngeal swabs (back of the nose)
  
• Oropharyngeal swabs (back of the throat)
• Saliva
• Blood sample (only for Antibody tests)

Some countries might only accept certain types of samples, with nasopharyngeal being the standard for RT-PCR tests.

Processing Times

Processing times vary according to spikes in demand so it makes sense to take the test as soon as possible within the acceptable time window for your destination.Delays in delivering test results are not sometimes not within the control of the Provider. Ink will endeavour to facilitate communication between you and the Provider in case there are unexpected delays in providing the result of your test.Quoted timescales for results cannot be guaranteed. Neither Ink, the Provider nor the Affiliate accept any liability or incurred costs for unusable samples or delayed, inconclusive or lost test results.

Test Results and Accuracy

Tests are carried out to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (also commonly known as Covid-19 or Coronavirus) infection or, in the case of Antibody Tests, SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. No test is 100% correct 100% of the time. Tests can sometimes deliver false results:

• false negative (i.e. indicating negative when you are actually positive); or
  
• false positive (i.e. indicating positive when you are actually negative)
  
• negative in the early stages of infection before the viral load has built up to a detectable level
• the detection of unviable virus fragments very many days after initial infection

Neither Ink, the Affiliate nor the Provider accepts any liability or costs incurred for false-negative or false-positive test results. Unless specifically stated by the provider, the results are informational based on normal ranges for the general population and are not a clinical diagnosis. Some types of tests are screening tests and cannot be used for clinical diagnosis.

Your Responsibilities

Your responsibilities are to:

1. Select the appropriate and acceptable tests or combination of tests for your immediate and onward travel destinations. More information can be obtained from the transportation carriers (e.g airlines) and the appropriate government websites of your destination country.
   
2. Ensure that you take a test no earlier than is accepted by your immediate and onward travel destinations. Time limits are usually specified in hours rather than days so calculate your test time with care.
   
3. Leave enough time between taking your test and your departure date time to allow for the processing of results.
   
4. Ensure your own sobriety and cooperation with the Provider. Anti-social or threatening behaviour, intoxication and being under the influence of narcotics are valid grounds for cancelling your test.
   
5. Follow pre-testing instructions given by the Provider.

1. Inability to administer test because of your failure to adhere to pre-test requirements.
   
2. Your failure to follow the medical advice given by the Provider.
   
3. Test not being provided in the stated time.
   
4. Your late arrival for the test for any reason or failure to attend the scheduled test.
