These Terms apply to your use of the Services regardless of which channel you use to purchase.
6.2 Payment is required in full at the time of booking. Accepted payment methods will be displayed at checkout.
6.3 If you require a phlebotomy appointment, additional charges may apply depending on whether the sample is collected at home or in a clinic.
6.4 NOA reserves the right to change prices at any time. However, any changes will not affect Services already purchased.

6.6 By providing a credit card or other payment method accepted by us, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to use the designated payment method and that you authorise us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your Order. If the payment method you provide cannot be verified, is invalid, or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled until you are able to resolve the payment issue.
7 Cancellations and Refunds
7.1 Your Right to Cancel: Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have the right to cancel your contract within 14 days without giving any reason (the “Cancellation Period”). The Cancellation Period begins on the date your Order is confirmed. To exercise this right, you must inform us clearly of your decision to cancel (for example, by email to info@nowoftenalways.com) before the Cancellation Period expires. However, please note that by requesting us to begin providing the Services during the Cancellation Period, you acknowledge that you may lose your right to cancel once the Services have been fully performed, or once the phlebotomy appointment has taken place or the blood sample has been submitted for analysis. If you wish to cancel your service, you may do so within 14 days of the date on which your contract with us is formed (the “Cancellation Period”) in accordance with your statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, however, you shall only be entitled to a refund on cancellation provided that:
7.1.1 Your phlebotomy appointment has not yet been conducted; or
7.1.2 Your blood sample has not been sent for testing.
7.2 If you cancel after a phlebotomy appointment has been conducted, no refund will be issued.
7.3 If you fail to attend a scheduled phlebotomy appointment without giving at least 24 hours’ prior notice, or if you cancel within 24 hours of the appointment, you agree to pay the following charges, which represent a genuine pre-estimate of the losses we and our partners incur as a result of the missed appointment:
In-clinic appointments: Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows will result in an additional charge of £37 payable by you.
At-home phlebotomy (Inuvi): Missed appointments will be subject to a £63 charge payable by you.
7.4 Refunds, where applicable, will be processed within 14 days of the date on which we receive notification of your cancellation, using the original payment method, in accordance with our obligations under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Where you purchased via the FTF Website, we will coordinate the refund with Face the Future Online Limited.
7.5 NOA reserves the right to refuse refunds in cases of suspected misuse of the cancellation policy.
8 Sample Collection and Testing
8.1 NOA works with accredited partner laboratories to process blood samples.
8.2 If your blood sample cannot be analysed due to inadequate collection, clotting, or insufficient volume, we may offer you a further phlebotomy appointment at no additional charge.
8.3 If your replacement sample also cannot be analysed, you may be required to pay for an additional test.
8.4 Where you select an in-clinic phlebotomy appointment, you are responsible for ensuring that your sample is sent to the laboratory within the timeframes specified in the instructions provided. Delays may affect the validity of the sample.
8.5 NOA is not responsible for samples lost or delayed in transit.
8.6 Your results will be reviewed by our in-house NOA Nutritionist not a medical team. You agree that these results are for your own personal use and it is your responsibility to review any out-of-range results with your doctor or consultant.
