Your booking is subject to the Terms, which are set out below, as well as any TP Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict between these, the Terms shall prevail, unless we nominate otherwise.

• Definitions
  • In these terms, the following words have the following meanings:

• These definitions apply to these General Terms and Conditions and mutatis mutandis to each of the TP Terms and Conditions.

• Introduction
  • We provide a service where, via the website www.securescanners.com or otherwise and in return for a Fee, you may obtain a Scan and, where required, a Referral.
  • We are appointed by Imaging Centres as their agent to display their services on the Website and to act on their behalf in order to book a Scan.
  • In order to obtain a Referral or a Scan, you must complete a Template, which we shall submit to one or more Health Professionals and/or Imaging Centres. You agree that we may share the information on the completed Template with the Health Professionals and/or Imaging Centres.
  • After considering your completed Template and/or request for Referral or Scan, the Health Professional will approve your request only if judged appropriate in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) Guidelines (8^thEdition, or any modification thereof or successor thereto).
  • In the event you choose to complete our Template and obtain a scan for the purposes of any legal action , such as personal injury claims or medical negligence actions, or insurance claims, please note that the related validation/administration  Fee is non-refundable in any circumstances and that the cost of any subsequent Scan is in addition thereto.
  • Once you have selected a Scan and we have confirmed your booking, you form a contract with the Imaging Centre and are legally obliged to pay us the Fee.
  • In the event that the Imaging Centre cancels your booking, we will use all reasonable efforts to advise you as soon as possible using the contact details you provided at the time of booking. If the Imaging Centre is unable to provide an alternative, we can assist you to make a new booking with an alternative Imaging Centre. If that proves impossible, your booking will be cancelled and you will be entitled to repayment, limited to the value of any amount paid by you
  • If after we have confirmed your booking you or the Imaging Centre or Health Professional wish to alter the modality, location, contrast or number of body parts to be the subject of the Scan you must first obtain our prior written approval to any such alteration, failing which you may become liable to pay for the increase in cost and for paying us such increase in the Fee as we judge reasonable
  • If after you have booked a Scan you cancel it you may be entitled to a rebate of the Fee, subject to, amongst other things, the TP Terms and Conditions and our discretion
  • If you do not have and/or require a Health Practitioner, we can provide one or more contact details, without endorsement, upon payment of a Fee.

• Pricing errors and changes to law
  • We will use all reasonable endeavours to correct errors and omissions on the Website or elsewhere, as soon as practicable after being notified of them. Neither we nor the Imaging Centres are under any obligation to honour a booking for a Scan where there is a pricing error, even if you have received a confirmation email. In these circumstances, we reserve the right to correct any pricing errors on the Website and either to offer you the opportunity to keep your booking at the correct price or cancel your booking without liability beyond repayment of any amount paid by you.
  • Save as otherwise stated in the Terms, in the event of any new laws or regulations resulting in any additional, or increases to existing, taxes, charges or other fees, we reserve the right to pass on such amounts to you, whether or not your booking has been confirmed.

• General
  • The Terms govern your relationship with us.
  • The Terms do not affect any other legal rights that you may have, about which your local Citizens Advice Bureau can give you help and advice.
