3. Eligibility and Contract Formation

  1. You may only place an order for Services with us if you:
    • are at least 18 years of age;
    • are a resident of England, Scotland or Wales;
    • have capacity to enter into legally binding contracts and can provide valid payment details (which are held in your own name); and
    • are purchasing for personal, non-commercial use. 
  2. To access the Platform and purchase any Services, you must first create a user account via the Website and purchase an active Membership. You confirm that the information you provide as part of that account creation process is complete, accurate and kept up to date.
  3. The eligibility criteria set out above apply equally to the purchase of a Membership. In addition: 
    • only one active Membership may be held per person at any time; 
    • Membership is personal to you and may not be shared, transferred or used by any other person; and
    • we reserve the right to suspend or terminate a Membership where we reasonably believe it is being used by or on behalf of more than one individual.
  4. You confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age you must not create an account, purchase a Membership or order any Services. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account where we reasonably believe the account holder is under 18 years of age, and no refund will be due where termination occurs as a result of misrepresentation of age.
  5. You confirm that you are a resident of England, Scotland or Wales at the time of purchasing a Membership and placing any order for Services. If your residency changes such that you are no longer resident in England, Scotland or Wales, you must notify us promptly at support@moihealth.com. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Membership and cancel any outstanding Service contracts where you are or become resident outside of England, Scotland or Wales, and refunds in such circumstances will be handled in accordance with the Cancellation, Cooling Off Period and Refunds clause of these Terms.
  6. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@moihealth.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials or from any unauthorised access to your account that results from your failure to do so.
  7. If any information provided by you in connection with your account or any order is found to be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, we reserve the right to suspend your account and/or cancel any outstanding Service contracts. Where a Service cannot be completed due to inaccurate information provided by you — including but not limited to an incorrect delivery address or failure to disclose relevant health information requested by us — no refund will be due in respect of that Service.
  8. If you are a healthcare professional, you acknowledge that in purchasing a Membership and using the Platform under these Terms, you are doing so as an individual consumer and not in your professional capacity. The Services and Membership are not intended for professional clinical use. If you wish to use our Services or Platform in a clinical or professional context, please contact us at hello@moihealth.com.
  9. You confirm that you have full legal capacity to enter into legally binding contracts at the time of purchasing a Membership or placing any order for Services.
  10. The Platform is designed for use by you in relation to your own personal health data only. You must not use your Membership or the Platform to input, track or manage the health data of any other individual, including family members or persons for whom you act as a caregiver, unless we have explicitly provided a feature or functionality designed for that purpose and you have obtained all necessary consents from the relevant individual in accordance with applicable data protection law. If you have queries about using the Platform in a caregiving context, please contact us at support@moihealth.com.
  11. Two distinct contracts are formed between you and us under these Terms:
    • Membership Contract: a binding Membership contract is formed upon the earlier of when we confirm activation of your Membership by email following successful payment of the applicable Membership fee or accessing the Web App or the App. The Membership contract governs your access to the Platform and its features, and your ability to order Services during your Membership period; and
    • Service Contracts: a separate and independent binding contract is formed for each individual order of Services (including Test Kits) placed by you via the Platform. Each Service contract is formed when we send you an order confirmation email following successful payment for that order. Each Service contract requires an active Membership at the time of ordering but subsists independently of your Membership — meaning that cancellation or lapse of your Membership after a Service contract has been formed will not automatically cancel that Service contract, and any outstanding Services will continue to be fulfilled in accordance with these Terms.
  12. We recommend you retain all order confirmation emails as records of each contract formed between you and us.

4. Description of Services and Third Party Providers

  1. We arrange for the analysis of your biological samples through specialist third-party laboratories selected by us.
  2. We also engage third-party providers to support our Services, including for:
    • fulfilment and packaging of Test Kits;

    • courier or postal services;
    • cloud hosting and data storage (e.g., Amazon Web Services); and

  4. We do not provide medical diagnosis, clinical interpretation, treatment recommendation or healthcare services.

5. User Medical Disclaimer

  1. The Services provided may include services such as reporting on biomarker values, immune activity indicators, inflammaging, pattern analysis, trend summaries and interpretive insights.
  2. These outputs may relate to physiological or immune function parameters that can be associated with certain health conditions, including autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions.
  3. Notwithstanding the above, the Services are not intended, and must not be used by you, to undertake the following, which should always occur under the care and guidance of suitably qualified medical professionals:
    • diagnose any disease, disorder or condition;
    • confirm or rule out autoimmune, autoinflammatory and/or disease activity;
    • replace clinical testing or medical assessment;
    • monitor disease progression or treatment response; and/or
    • guide or modify medication, therapy or clinical care.
  4. Interpretive insights are narrative in nature and may highlight patterns or correlations, but they do not establish causation or clinical meaning(s).
  5. Results and insights are provided for informational and educational purposes only.
  6. You must seek advice from a suitably qualified medical professional before making any medical or lifestyle decisions based on the Services.
  7. You acknowledge that misinterpretation of results without medical advice may result in harm, and you accept sole responsibility for any such outcomes and waive and release us in full from any and all claims, actions, rights and similar arising out or otherwise related to the same.
  8. You acknowledge and agree that none of our Services are a substitute for emergency medical services, for which you should consult your doctor or hospital provider.

6. Regulatory Status

  1. The App and digital insights platform are classified as a Class I Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002. As a Class I device, mOI Health is self-certified by OtoImmune. The platform is designed to provide informational and organisational outputs only and does not provide clinical diagnosis or treatment recommendations, as noted more specifically in clause 5 of the Terms.
  2. If and when our regulatory status changes, we may amend the scope, intended purpose, disclaimers and risk language of the Services and these Terms.
  3. Any such changes will be made in accordance with clause 1.9 of these Terms.

7. Prices, Payments and Subscriptions

  1. All prices for any Membership and/or Services are displayed on the Website and, where applicable, in the Web App, in each case in GBP. VAT (where applicable) is also displayed next to our prices. Prices for the Membership and/or any of our Services may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any existing order we have accepted.
  2. All payments — whether for Membership or for individual Services — must be made via the Platform (whether through the Website or the Web App). Payment for Membership is required at the time of sign-up. Payment for Services is required at the time of order. No Membership will be activated and no shipments will be made until we have received the applicable payment in full.  We use third party payment processing providers to purchase our Services. Extra security may be required by such third-party providers as part of the payment process (e.g. Verified by Visa) – we do not control this process.
  3. Membership Subscriptions:
    • Access to the Platform requires an active Membership. Membership is available on a monthly or annual basis, with the applicable fee displayed on the Platform at the time of sign-up. Membership fees are charged separately from, and in addition to, the cost of any individual Services or Test Kits ordered through the Platform.
    • Membership fees are payable in advance at the start of each billing period. By purchasing a Membership, you authorise us to charge your chosen payment method the applicable Membership fee automatically at the start of each billing period (monthly or annually, as selected by you) until your Membership is cancelled.
    • Membership subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. You may cancel your Membership at any time via your account settings on the Platform. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, after which your access to the Platform and ability to order further Services will cease. No refund or partial refund of any unused portion of a Membership period will be due upon cancellation, except as set out in the Cancellation, Cooling Off Period and Refunds clause below or as otherwise required by applicable law.
    • Cancellation of your Membership does not automatically cancel any outstanding orders for Services placed during your Membership. Any such outstanding orders will continue to be fulfilled in accordance with the relevant Service contract and these Terms. Where results from an outstanding Service contract become available after your Membership has lapsed or been cancelled, we will deliver those results to you by email in a format of our choosing to the email address held in your account. It is your responsibility to ensure that the email address held in your account is accurate and up to date at the time of Membership cancellation. If you have any difficulty accessing your emailed results following Membership cancellation, please contact us at support@moihealth.com and a member of our team will assist you.
    • If your Membership lapses or is cancelled, any data, results and insights stored within the Platform will cease to be accessible, unless otherwise agreed with us. Your personal data will be retained following Membership lapse or cancellation in accordance with the retention periods set out in our Privacy Notice and our internal Records Retention Policy
    • We aim to notify you of any change to your Membership fee no less than 14 days before that change takes effect, using the contact details held in your account. If you do not wish to continue your Membership at the revised fee, you may cancel before the change takes effect without penalty.
    • If payment of any Membership fee fails, we will notify you using the contact details held in your account and access to the Platform will be suspended until payment in full is made. If payment remains outstanding for a total of 30 days following suspension, we reserve the right to treat your Membership as cancelled and your account as dormant, in accordance with the account closure provisions of these Terms. 
    • You are responsible for ensuring that your payment details are kept up to date on the Platform at all times. If you require assistance updating your payment details, please contact us at support@moihealth.com. If your payment details change or expire and you do not update them before your next billing date, your Membership renewal payment may fail and the consequences set out in the failed payment provisions above will apply. We are not responsible for any interruption to your Membership or access to the Platform resulting from outdated or expired payment details.
    • We may from time to time offer free trial periods for Membership (“Free Trial”). Where a Free Trial is offered: the duration and any applicable conditions of the Free Trial will be displayed on the Platform at the time of sign-up; you will be required to provide valid payment details at the time of commencing a Free Trial; unless you cancel your Membership before the end of the Free Trial period, your Membership will automatically convert to a paid Membership at the end of the Free Trial and your chosen payment method will be charged the applicable Membership fee; you may cancel your Membership at any time during a Free Trial without charge via your account settings or by contacting us at support@moihealth.com; and we reserve the right to withdraw, modify or restrict Free Trial offers at any time and to limit Free Trial eligibility to new members only.
    • All prices are displayed and charged in pounds sterling (GBP) regardless of your location at the time of access or purchase. We do not currently offer pricing in any other currency. We are not responsible for any currency conversion fees or charges applied by your bank or payment provider in connection with any payment made to us.
    • Membership may not be purchased on behalf of another person. All Membership purchases must be made by and for the individual who will be the account holder and member. If you wish to give a Membership as a gift, please contact us at hello@moihealth.com to discuss whether and how this may be accommodated.
    • Where your Membership has lapsed or been cancelled and you have not requested account closure, your account will be treated as dormant. Dormant accounts and all data associated with them will be retained pursuant to our Privacy Notice. We reserve all our rights to permanently delete your account and all associated data, subject to any longer retention periods required by applicable law or our regulatory obligations. 
  4. We may from time to time provide promotional offers and/or discount on Memberships and/or Services. For these:
    • promotional offers and discount codes may be restricted to use by certain customers and/or on specific Memberships and/or Services and we reserve the right to cancel, modify or restrict these offers at any time for any reason and without notice to you; and
    • promotional offers and discount codes may not be shared, sold or exchanged. Promotional offers and discount codes from unauthorised internet postings are not valid and may be declined. We reserve the right (in our sole discretion) to decline orders or cancel orders placed with unauthorised promotional offers and discount codes.
  5. It is possible that some prices for Memberships and/or Services may be incorrect from time to time (albeit we will use all reasonable efforts to reduce the chances of this occurring). If we discover a pricing error or discrepancy that affects all or any part of your order for a Membership and/or any Services, we will tell you as soon as possible after we become aware and will give you the option of continuing with your order at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process the incorrectly priced order (or part thereof) until we have received your instructions. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the relevant part(s) of your order as cancelled and notify you using the applicable contact details we hold for you. If the pricing error is obvious or could reasonably have been recognised as a mispricing, we will not be obliged to fulfil your order at the incorrect price even if we have already provided you with any form of order acknowledgement or acceptance.

8. Delivery of Test Kits and Return of Samples

  1. Test Kits will be delivered by or on our behalf to you to the address provided by you at the time of placing the order for Services with us.

  5. Once a Test Kit has been delivered and for those Services that require blood to be taken from you, we will either contact you by email, or provide via the Platform, the details required (and relevant links) to arrange a phlebotomy appointment with our chosen phlebotomy provider(s). It is your responsibility to book, attend and complete the phlebotomy appointment once we have provided you with the applicable details. We do not guarantee the availability of any particular appointment time, date or location. If you fail to book or attend a phlebotomy appointment, or if you delay booking or attendance, this may affect the ability to obtain a viable sample.

Phlebotomy appointments can be rescheduled, cancelled or otherwise re-arranged free of charge upon the giving of not less than 48 hours' notice to our phlebotomy provider via the links provided to you on the confirmation email or via such other means as are provided to you from time to time. If you experience any difficulty rescheduling or cancelling a phlebotomy appointment, please contact us at support@moihealth.com as soon as possible and we will use reasonable endeavours to assist you. Please note that if you wish to reschedule, cancel or otherwise re-arrange your phlebotomy appointment within 48 hours from the time of your appointment, you will incur an additional charge (payable to the phlebotomy provider direct) of up to £85 (inclusive of VAT).
  7. We will not be liable to you:
    1. where any analysis of all or any part(s) of any samples cannot be completed within any specified time frames, or for any other reason, should the same occur for any failure (whether by act or omission) by you to comply with all or any part of these Terms;
    2. for the costs of any appointment rescheduling, cancellations or missed appointments (which will be subject to those additional fees charged by the phlebotomy provider as noted above). Any such fees are payable in full by you to the phlebotomy provider and are not included in the price of the Services; and
    3. for the costs of any appointment rescheduling that may occur due to the phlebotomist not being able to extract from you a sufficient volume of blood sample(s) as a result of you failing to comply in full with clause 8.9 (in particular due to dehydration or failure to be sufficiently hydrated). In such an instance, you will be charged by the phlebotomy provider a re-arrangement fee at the rate set out in clause 8.6 and all of such fees are payable by you direct to the phlebotomy provider and are not included in the price of the Services.
  8. For any Services and/or Test Kits that do not require blood to be taken from you, we will not provide to you the details and/or links to book a phlebotomy appointment.

Accordingly, we are not responsible to you for any fees, refunds, costs or otherwise where analysis cannot be completed due to:
    • insufficient (including as to volume), degraded, damage or contaminated samples caused by any act or omission (including delays) on your part;
    • late returns to us outside of notified stability windows;
    • failure by you to follow all or any part of the instructions provided; and

  2. Where replacement Test Kit(s) and/or retesting is provided at no cost under clause 10.1, no further compensation, refund or damages shall be payable by or otherwise due by us to you in respect of the same, and replacement and/or repeat phlebotomy appointments and/or retesting shall be your sole and exclusive remedy against us.
  3. Where a sample is deemed unsuitable by us and/or our partners and third party providers for reasons that we believe to be within your control (and determination of whether a sample is unsuitable and whether such was as a result of matter(s) within your control will be made by us in consultation with our relevant partners), we may offer a replacement Test Kit(s), subject to the payment to you of a replacement fee.

13. Cancellation, Cooling Off Period and Refunds

  1. Cooling Offer Period – Membership:
    • As Membership constitutes a digital service under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, you have the right to cancel your Membership contract within 14 days of the date on which it was formed, without giving any reason (the “Membership Cooling Off Period”).
    • However, by purchasing a Membership and accessing the Platform during the Membership Cooling Off Period, you expressly request that we begin providing the digital service immediately. You acknowledge that by doing so you will lose your right to a full refund of the Membership fee once the digital service has been fully performed. Where you cancel within the Membership Cooling Off Period but have accessed the Platform, we reserve the right to charge you a pro-rata amount representing the proportion of the Membership period during which you accessed the Platform prior to cancellation, and to refund the balance.
    • To exercise your right to cancel your Membership during the Membership Cooling Off Period, please notify us by email at support@moihealth.com during that period, clearly stating that you wish to cancel your Membership and the date on which it was purchased. A support case will be raised automatically and a member of our team will review and get back to you.
  2. Cooling Off Period — Service Contracts (Test Kits and Associated Services):
    • The following provisions apply separately to each individual Service contract and are in addition to, and independent of, the Membership cooling-off provisions set out above.
    • You have the right to cancel any contract for any Services without any reason within a fourteen (14) day cooling off period. Such cooling off period will end fourteen (14) days after the day on which the contract was formed (and such period is hereafter referred to as the “Cooling Off Period”). By way of example, if the contract in question with you was formed on the 1st day of the month, the Cooling Off Period would end at the end of the 15th day of the same month. However, you will lose the right to cancel if we started providing Services to you during the Cooling Off Period and received samples from you for processing (please see clause 13.2.5 for more details).
    • To exercise your right to cancel a Service contract during the Cooling Off Period, you must notify us during the Cooling Off Period by email at support@moihealth.com, clearly stating that you wish to cancel your order and the date on which it was placed. A support case will be raised automatically and a member of our team will process your cancellation in accordance with these Terms. 
    • We will ship to you Test Kit(s) and provide to you the ability to book a phlebotomy appointment during the Cooling Off Period. We need to do this because we aim to send you your Test Kit(s) and arrange your phlebotomy appointment promptly after you place your order for Services with us (and this is very likely to be within the Cooling Off Period in question). By booking a phlebotomy appointment during the Cooling Off Period we shall treat this as a request by you for us to start performing the Services during the Cooling Off Period. In such an instance, you acknowledge that you will lose your right to cancel the contract once the Services have been fully completed (i.e. when we have provided you with your results). 
    • If you cancel during the Cooling Off Period, we will reimburse to you all payments we have received from you for the Services in question, subject to the reasonable deductions set out below and any additional deductions we have reserved the right to make as set out in clause 14.2:
      • if we have sent you a Test Kit but we have not received your Sample, we will deduct the sum of £35.00 from each Test Kit sent out to you from your refund amount to compensate us for the cost of sending you the Test Kit and paying for outbound and return postage (we cannot accept returned Test Kits for any Services for health and safety reasons and because Test Kits personalised to your requirements). For the avoidance of doubt therefore, if the Services you have purchased involve the dispatch of more than one Test Kit (for example, if you order Services that require both blood tests and stool analysis) you will be charged the sum of £35.00 per Test Kit;
      • if you have booked a phlebotomy appointment and that cannot be cancelled free of charge (due to such cancellation occurring within a period of 48 hours prior to your phlebotomy appointment) we will deduct the sum of £85.00 from your refund amount (in addition to deductions made for Test Kit(s) sent out to you) to compensate us for the costs we will incur from our phlebotomy providers. In instances where the phlebotomy appointment can be cancelled free of charge, not deduction of the sum of £85.00 will be made by us; and
      • if you have returned to us or our laboratory partners any samples, no refund of any amount will be due or otherwise payable to you. This is because, at this stage, we and our partners will have already commenced sample processing activities and incurred costs for those.
  3. Subject to the remaining terms of these Terms, we will make any reimbursement properly and correctly due to you without undue delay, and not later than fourteen (14) days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel.
  4. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise with us. 
  5. Cancellation will not affect your or our respective rights and remedies that have arisen prior to cancellation. If you or we cancel for any reason, it will not affect our right to receive any monies that you owe to us.
  6. No refunds and/or reimbursements will be made or otherwise due or payable to you after expiry of the Cooling Off Period.

14. Our Right to Suspend or Terminate Services

  1. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services where:
    • your chosen payment method fails in whole or in part or is reversed;
    • your Membership subscription lapses, is cancelled by you, or payment of any Membership fee fails and is not remedied within 7 days of us notifying you of such failure at the email address held in your account, in which case your access to the Platform and ability to order further Services will be suspended until the outstanding payment is made or your Membership is otherwise reinstated. You may resolve a failed payment or reinstate your Membership by updating your payment details via your account settings or by contacting us at support@moihealth.com;
    • you breach any of these Terms (including but not limited to where: (a) we are unable to carry out all of any part of the Services because of an error by you to properly package, label or otherwise return to us a sample within the time limits, methods or requirements notified to you; (b) we are unable to carry out the Testing Services because of a problem with the Sample arising from your failure to observe the applicable instructions and collection protocols; and/or (c) in breach of any applicable law in relation to the contract for your order, or in breach of any other contract that may exist between you and us);
    • any regulatory or safety concerns arise (for whatever reason); 
    • we are unable (or reasonably believe that we are unable) to provide the Testing Services for reasons beyond our reasonable control or for legal or regulatory reasons; or
    • continued provision of the Services becomes unfeasible (in our opinion).
  2. Refunds will be made to you for cancelled Services as set out more particularly in clause 13. In addition, where a suspension or termination is actioned by us in the circumstances set out in clause 14.1.3 we reserve the right to deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breach of the Terms.

15. Account Closure

  1. You may request permanent closure of your account at any time by contacting us at support@moihealth.com and logging a support ticket with us. Account closure will result in the immediate cancellation of your Membership (subject to any applicable notice period) and the termination of your access to the Platform and all associated features.
  2. Account closure does not automatically cancel any outstanding Service contracts. Any Services already ordered and in progress at the time of account closure will continue to be fulfilled in accordance with the relevant Service contract, and results will be delivered to you in the manner set out in clause 7.3.4.
  3. Following account closure, your personal data — including health data, results and insights stored on the Platform — will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable data retention obligations. You may request deletion of your personal data separately in accordance with your rights under UK GDPR by contacting dataprotection@moihealth.com.
  4. We will provide you with written confirmation of account closure within a reasonable period of receiving your request

16. Liability

  1. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.
  2. As a consumer, you have certain legal rights known as “statutory rights” that are enshrined in laws designed to protect you against certain practices. One example of a statutory right is one where we are under a legal obligation to perform our Services with reasonable care and skill. If we do not carry out our services with reasonable care and skill, you can ask us to repeat the service or to fix the problem, or you may be entitled to get some money back if we cannot fix it. Nothing in these Terms of Sale in any way affects your statutory rights. Advice about your statutory rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau (www.citizensadvice.org.uk/) or Trading Standards office (www.gov.uk/find-local-trading-standards-office).
  3. If the Services we have provided to you are in any way defective or negligent or you believe that they do not comply with the terms of contract entered into with you, please contact us at support@moihealth.com and we will do our best to help resolve the problem. 
  4. Except where clause 16.1 applies, we will not be liable to you (under tort, contract, breach of statutory duty of otherwise) for any:
    • Unexpected loss/loss that was not foreseeable: we are not liable for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable at the time you placed your order. Loss is foreseeable only if it is an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was expressly communicated to us by you in writing before the order was made;
    • Loss that you could reasonably have avoided: we are not liable for any loss or damage that you could have avoided by taking reasonable steps, including by following instructions provided with the Test Kit or via the Platform, or by seeking appropriate medical or professional advice where require;
    • Loss caused by third parties outside our control: we are not liable for any loss or damage caused by third parties who are not acting on our behalf or under our direct instructions. Where you obtain phlebotomy, sample collection, clinical services, or other products or services directly from a third party, that third party is solely responsible to you for those products and services and for any outcomes or consequences arising from them;
    • Loss caused by your own acts or omissions: we are not liable for any loss, damage, personal injury or death to the extent it results from your actions or omissions (except where caused by our negligence). This includes, without limitation, failure to follow the instructions provided with the Test Kit or failure to provide accurate, complete or timely information or documentation when requested;
    • Circumstances outside our reasonable control: we are not liable for any loss or damage caused by events or circumstances outside our reasonable control, including delays in postal or courier services, laboratory capacity constraints, supply chain disruption, regulatory changes, or other events of force majeure;
    • Unavailability of the Platform: Unavailability of the Platform: we are not liable for any loss arising from any temporary unavailability, suspension or interruption of the Platform or systems relied upon to provide the Services or Membership, where such unavailability is caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, planned maintenance (of which we will endeavour to give reasonable advance notice), or third party system failures. Where the Platform is unavailable for a continuous period exceeding 72 hours due to circumstances within our reasonable control, and that unavailability materially affects your ability to use the core features of your Membership, you may request a pro-rata credit against your next Membership fee by contacting us at support@moihealth.com. A support case will be raised automatically and a member of our team will review and process your request. Such credit shall be your sole and exclusive remedy in respect of Platform unavailability, save where unavailability constitutes a breach of our obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015; and
    • Business or commercial loss: the Services are supplied for domestic and private use only. We are not liable for any business-related losses, including (without limitation) loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of business opportunity, or loss of goodwill.
  5. Subject to clause 16.1, our total liability to you under or in connection with:
    • any individual Service contract, however arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the charges you have paid for the Services subject to that specific contract; and
    • your Membership contract, however arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the total Membership fees paid by you in the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim,and in no event shall our aggregate total liability to you across all contracts exceed the total amount paid by you to us in the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
