Services

The description of the Services and any Goods is as set out on our website, catalogues, brochures or other form of advertisement. Any description is for illustrative purposes only
In the case of Services and any Goods made to your special requirements, it is your responsibility to ensure that any information or specification you provide is accurate.
All Services are subject to availability.
We can make changes to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law or safety requirement. We will notify you of these changes.
Earwax removal via micro suction is considered more effective than other methods such as syringing. However, alternative methods such as probe removal eg. use of a Jobson-Horne tool, or gentle irrigation eg. use of a spray-wash tool, may be undertaken if considered to be more appropriate by the clinician.
Incidents during ear wax removal are uncommon, especially with micro-suction. However, possible minor risks that can occur and are deemed to be acceptable include: small nicks to the ear canal which can result in minor bleeding, soreness, mild discomfort and short-term ringing in the ear (tinnitus).
More serious risk to the ear or eardrum can occur if the client cannot remain adequately still during the procedure. Clients should inform the clinician of any likely movements.
Very severely impacted wax may result in incomplete removal of ear wax requiring a return visit. Return visits may also be required for clients who require extra care, such as children who display sensitivity to the procedure or clients with complicated medical / health requirements.
To keep the risk of infection to a minimum, all equipment used in the ear is sterilised or single-use. However, there is always a risk that infection may occur once out of the practitioner's care, for which we cannot be held responsible. Please consult your GP as soon as possible should you experience any discomfort or worrying symptoms post procedure.
The CE marked suction unit is designed to remove fluids from the airway or respiratory support system and infectious materials from wounds. It has been adapted for the use of aural micro-suction.

Basis of Sale

The description of the Services and any Goods in our website, catalogues, brochures or other form of advertisement does not constitute a contractual offer to sell the Services or Goods.
When an Order has been made, we can reject it for any reason, although we will try to tell you the reason without delay.
A Contract will be formed for the Services ordered, only upon the Supplier sending an email to the Customer saying that the Order has been accepted or, if earlier, the Supplier's delivery of the Services to the Customer.
Any quotation or estimate of Fees (as defined below) is valid for a maximum period of 1 day from its date, unless we expressly withdraw it at an earlier time.
No variation of the Contract, whether about description of the Services, Fees or otherwise, can be made after it has been entered into unless the variation is agreed by the Customer and the Supplier in writing.

Booking Terms

Payment fees for the Services that are set out in our price list are current at the date of the Order or such other price as we may agree in writing.
We cannot guarantee that you will be seen or treated if you arrive late for your appointment. A second appointment may be required to complete your full treatment if you arrive late for your appointment, in which case you will be liable for the full cost of the both the first and second appointment.
If you cancel or reschedule your appointment without at least 24 hours’ notice, or it is cancelled or rescheduled due to your late arrival, we reserve the right to charge a full or partial deposit to secure any future bookings made by you. We also reserve the right to refuse your future bookings.
Advanced payments made to secure a future booking, for example booking deposits, are nonrefundable under any circumstances. Cancellation or rescheduling of any booking where a deposit has been paid will result in a forfeit of the deposit. Deposit payments already paid cannot be used to provide the deposit of a new booking.
If you attend any appointment without requiring treatment, you will still be liable to pay the full appointment fee.
Treatment for children aged below 13 years is not offered by our service. If you attend any appointment with a patient aged 12 years or below, we will not be able to treat your child and you will still be liable for the appointment fee.
An adult aged 18 or over is required to be present during the appointment for patients aged under 16. If you are under 16 and arrive for an appointment without an adult aged 18 or over, we will not be able to treat you. In this case you will still be liable to pay the full appointment fee.
All products sold by us alongside our Services are non-refundable.

Duration, termination and suspension

The Contract continues as long as it takes us to perform the Services.
Either you or we may terminate the Contract or suspend the Services at any time by a written notice of termination or suspension to the other if that other: a. commits a serious breach, or series of breaches resulting in a serious breach, of the Contract and the breach either cannot be fixed or is not fixed within 30 days of the written notice; or b. is subject to any step towards its bankruptcy or liquidation.
On termination of the Contract for any reason, any of our respective remaining rights and liabilities will not be affected.
