Terms and conditions
​
​
1. The contract is between The Baby Suite Ltd and the Customer (you) and shall be governed by the following terms and conditions. Nothing in these conditions will affect your statutory rights. The Baby Suite Ltd aim to provide the highest level of service possible. We only employ healthcare professionals, radiographers and midwives that have undergone rigorous sonography training and hope the experience will be positive.
2. Services provided
The Baby Suite will provide a self-referral private ultrasound service for women in their pregnancy. Scans at The Baby Suite should never take precedence over your primary care provider, usually the NHS. A number of packages are available to choose from with the understanding that we do not diagnose abnormalities.
The purpose of the Early Pregnancy & Viability Scan is to determine viability of an early pregnancy
The purpose of the Reassurance Scan is to determine the wellbeing of the pregnancy.
​
The purpose of the Gender Confirmation Scan is to provide a professional opinion of the gender (sex) of the baby.
The purpose of the 4D Bonding Scan is to provide enhanced 3D/4D imagery for the purpose of parental bonding and to produce souvenir images.
The purpose of the Presentation Scan is to determine foetal lie together with providing an estimate of size and weight.
I understand that The Baby Suite offers me the ultrasound scan on the basis that I am receiving the appropriate ante-natal care and that under no circumstances should any scan provided by the company be a substitute for your hospital scans
3. Age
You must be over the age of 18 to use our services. 16 or 17 years old must be accompanied by a responsible adult. We cannot scan anyone under 16 years of age. If we suspect you are under 18 we may ask you to provide verification of your age.
​
4. Reports and images
A written or printed scan report will be provided confirming the well-being checks that have been completed, estimated fetal weight, gender confirmation and placental location. This report should be kept for your own records and shown to the GP/Midwife if necessary.
Digital movies are dependent on the position and activity of the baby so recording times can vary. You have license to use the recorded imagery on the basis that you will not use it for medical reference or for any other purpose other than home use
Scans quality can vary greatly between pregnancies and are determined by a number of factors such as fetal position, amount of amniotic fluid, placental position, cord location and maternal body mass index. We will try our hardest to acquire good quality images for you and suggestions will be made on how to improve the quality but sometimes this is unachievable. In these instances, you will be offered one free rescan on an alternative date.
​
5. Gendering
Ultrasound alone cannot give 100% confirmation of fetal gender but our highly qualified team and the latest ultrasound technology makes it possible for us to determine the gender with 99% accuracy. Fetal position, amount of amniotic fluid, fetal movements, cord location and maternal body mass index. all play a important role in being able to visualise the gender, For occasion where a gender cannot be easily identified you will be offered one free re-scan. The Baby Suite Ltd will not be held liable for incorrect sexing.
5. Bookings
Bookings can be placed online or over the telephone and will be confirmed via email. It is the customers’ responsibility to check the date and time of their scan and to notify a member of the The Baby Suite should these be incorrect.

If you wish to cancel or re-schedule your appointment we need at least 48 hours notice. Outside of this period refunds will not be provided.. If your appointment is booked within 48 hours (same-day or next day) then the payment is non-refundable and thus any cancellations or appointment amendments will result in loss of any monies paid.
​
7. Rescan policy
The rescan policy applies to Reassurance plus ,4D & HD scans. It does not apply to early reassurance scans. If we are unable to determine the gender of the baby at your Reassurance Plus scan you will be offered an appointment to return for a free re-scan on an alternative day. We are only able to offer one free rescan. Re-scans do not include a secondary well-being check if it has already been performed. In the event we are still unable to obtain imaging at a rescan appointment, not withstanding circumstances beyond our control, no refund or further free re-scan will be made.
