6.1.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, for example if the regulatory landscape changes and we require a different type of sample, or different quantities of each sample you might provide; and

7.4 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, our delivery partner will follow their typical procedure.

We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your name, address and other personal details which we need to perform the services for you. 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 clause 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. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.8 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 12.4) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 12.6). We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.5).
8 YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
8.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
8.1.1 If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
8.1.2 You can cancel your subscription at any time. You can notify us to terminate your subscription before the end of the Initial Subscription Term (or Renewal Period, as such may be). This will immediately deactivate your account and you will no longer have access to any of our services including signing into the user dashboard or App. You have the right to request your information, results and data prior to cancelling your subscription. ScreenMe will not be responsible for failing to retrieve any of your data if requested after you cancel your subscription.
8.1.3 If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
8.1.4 If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
8.1.5 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.7.
8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to ;
8.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;

8.2.4 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

8.4 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
8.4.1 services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running; or
8.4.2 products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them – which for clarity include our test kits.
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered. For our test kits and services, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have completed the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.
8.6 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end the contract in these circumstances, just contact us to let us know. The contract will not end until 1 calendar month after the day on which you contact us. We will refund any advance payment you have made for products which will not be provided to you. For example, if you tell us you want to end the contract on 4 February we will continue to supply the product until 3 March. We will only charge you for supplying the product up to 3 March and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the supply of the product after 3 March.
