This contract is between (1) OOH BABY BABY LIMITED (“OBB”); (“we” “us”) and (2) you, the customer (“you”) and shall be governed by the following terms and conditions of sale (“Conditions”), none of which affect your statutory rights:

​

1. The Services. We do not provide diagnostic health scans of your baby. However, all of our scans are completed by trained and registered medical professionals specialising in fetal ultrasound. They may be radiographers, midwives or doctors (in these Conditions referred to as sonographer(s)). With your consent, we will carry out a fetal ultrasound scan of your baby. The primary purpose of the scan is to obtain recreational images and comment on gender if applicable. A cardiac pulsation observation will take place and be commented on appropriately. Your scan will check the size of your baby, check for multiple fetuses, detect gross anomalies, show the position of the fetus and the placenta (if applicable). If your sonographer believes that there is any area of your baby’s development that needs to be brought to your attention they will discuss their findings openly with you. In these circumstances we will refer you to your NHS care provider for assessment. We will, with your permission, send a copy of the Report to your NHS care provider. It is your responsibility to ensure that you then consult with your NHS care provider.

​

2. Medical history. You understand and accept that we do not have your medical history and therefore cannot provide general medical advice relating to your pregnancy. We will openly discuss any potential results of the ultrasound findings at your appointment with us and advise you on the correct course of action in contacting your NHS care provider. You understand that the Report completed is the lone diagnostic overview of your pregnancy completed by OBB, and can be completed at the same gestation or a gestation different to your NHS scans. It is imperative that you access all antenatal services made available to you by the NHS as OBB is not a substitute for diagnostic screening (such as those provided by a midwife), not currently provided by OBB.. You also understand that your scan is not suitable to be considered as the sole diagnostic assessment of your pregnancy and is not exhaustive to all genetic scenarios due to the limitations of ultrasound and the gestation at which you present. OBB operates as recreational and as such is not responsible for detection of abnormalities inside or outside of the national screening parameters.

​

3. Method. We will complete your scan abdominally but if you have ordered an ‘early scan’ (6 weeks to 15 weeks) it may be necessary to suggest a (Trans Vaginal) scan. Your sonographer will discuss this with you. OBB does not currently operate using Trans Vaginal ultrasound and as such may recommend an alternative clinic in a non-emergency situation or suggest a re-scan at the appropriate time for transabdominal. We will ensure dignity and we provide a trained female chaperone if required. A re-scan for early pregnancy is chargeable at the standard early pregnancy scan rate.

4. Modification. We reserve the right to modify or improve our service without prior notice.

​

5. Photography & recording. We do not allow any personal photography to be carried out in our clinics.

​

6. Age. You must be 18 years old or over; if you are 16 or 17 years old, a responsible adult must accompany you to your appointment. We cannot scan anyone under the age of 16.
