Version: 1.1 Last Updated: March 2026 Applicable Law: Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, Consumer Rights Act 2015
This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains your rights when you purchase health testing services from Omniwo Ltd ("Omniwo", "we", "us", "our"). We are committed to fair and transparent refund practices in compliance with UK consumer protection law.
This policy should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 calendar days from the date you receive your test kit, without giving any reason.
How the 14-day period works:
To exercise your right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision by a clear statement. You can do this by:
You may use the Model Cancellation Form at the end of this policy, but it is not obligatory.
If you cancel within the 14-day cooling-off period:
| Scenario | Refund | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kit not yet dispatched | Full refund | Order cancelled before shipping |
| Kit received, unopened and unused | Full refund minus return postage | You must return the kit (see Section 4) |
| Kit received, opened but sample NOT collected | Full refund minus return postage | Components must be unused and in original condition |
| Kit received, sample collected but NOT posted | No refund | See Section 2.4 |
| Kit received, sample posted to laboratory | No refund | See Section 2.4 |
Under Regulation 36(1) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, if you have:
...the service is deemed to have commenced with your explicit prior consent, and you lose your right to cancel. This is because:
If we fail to deliver your test kit within the estimated delivery timeframe (typically 2-5 working days), and you have not received it within 30 days of your order date:
If your blood sample is rejected by our laboratory partner (e.g., insufficient volume, haemolysed sample, clotted sample):
| Rejection scenario | Our response |
|---|---|
| First rejection | We will send a free replacement kit at no cost to you |
| Second rejection (same order) | We will offer you a choice: (a) a second free replacement kit with guidance, or (b) a full refund |
| Third rejection (same order) | Full refund issued automatically |
Important: Sample rejection is outside your control and does not count against you. We cover all costs associated with your first replacement kit.
If results are not delivered within the stated turnaround time (typically 2-5 working days from laboratory receipt) due to a laboratory error:
If you are unable to access your results through the Omniwo platform due to a persistent technical issue on our side:
If you ordered the wrong test by mistake:
| Scenario | Refund |
|---|---|
| Kit not yet dispatched | Full refund or exchange for the correct test |
| Kit received but unused | Full refund minus return postage, or exchange |
| Kit used / sample collected | No refund (service commenced) |
Returned kits must be:
If a kit is returned opened or with broken hygiene seals, we reserve the right to deduct a proportionate amount from the refund to reflect the diminished value.
If you have subscribed to a recurring testing plan (e.g., quarterly BioAge tracking):
If you purchased a pre-paid multi-test plan:
| Scenario | Refund |
|---|---|
| No tests used | Full refund minus any discount applied |
| Some tests used | Pro-rata refund for unused tests, based on the individual test price (not the discounted plan price) |
| All tests used | No refund |
When you book a nurse visit for venous blood draw, a qualified phlebotomist is allocated to your appointment and travels to your location with a venous blood collection kit. This incurs costs regardless of whether the sample is ultimately collected.
| Cancellation timing | Nurse visit fee (£63) | Your test panel |
|---|---|---|
| More than 2 days before appointment | Full refund | Remains active |
| Less than 2 days before appointment | Non-refundable | Remains active |
| Did not attend (no-show) | Non-refundable | Remains active |
Our phlebotomy partner charges us the full visit fee (£63) for any appointment cancelled with less than 2 days' notice and for all no-shows (Did Not Attend). This is a direct cost that we cannot recover, and it is passed through to the customer.
Your test panel (the blood test itself) is not affected by a missed nurse visit. The panel remains active on your account. However:
If a nurse visit is cancelled by us or by our phlebotomy partner (for example, due to phlebotomist unavailability, severe weather, or scheduling error), you will receive either:
In this scenario, no cost is borne by you.
| Stage | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Refund request received | Acknowledged within 1 working day |
| Refund approved | Within 3 working days of receipt of returned item (if applicable) |
| Refund processed to payment provider | Within 1 working day of approval |
| Refund appears on your statement | 5-10 working days (depends on your bank) |
In some cases, we may offer a partial refund. This applies when:
Omniwo services are available to individuals aged 16 and over only. If a blood sample is submitted on behalf of, or is determined to belong to, an individual under the age of 16:
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that only eligible individuals (aged 16+) use the service.
If you are unhappy with our refund decision:
Under the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015, we are required to inform you about ADR. While we are not currently a member of an ADR scheme, we are committed to resolving disputes fairly. We will always consider ADR as an option if informal resolution is unsuccessful. You may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/odr.
