1. Subject of the contract
Customers have the option of getting appointments and test sites for SARS-CoV2 antibody determination via virinnox.com, and having the test results sent by email and/or SMS after the tests have been evaluated. The possibility of test services is also open to customers who have purchased their test directly from the test centers (eg pharmacies).
The contract between VIRINNOX and the customer comes about as follows: By completing the technical booking and pressing the "Register now" button, the customer makes a binding offer to VIRINNOX to purchase the product in question.
VIRINNOX forwards this offer to the test centers. The transmission takes place automatically, is therefore not a declaration of intent and only serves to inform the customer that his offer has been received and to provide information for any contract processing.
After receiving the registration code, the acceptance will be carried out by qualified personnel at the test centers. The test is evaluated by the test center. The test results are made available to the customer by email and/or SMS.
The customer expressly agrees that the service (evaluation of the test) can be started before the end of the 14-day cancellation period in accordance with FAGG and acknowledges that it is no longer possible to cancel the contract.
2. Ordering process for VIRINNOX/kiweno tests
(technical steps that lead to the binding offer of the customer)
The ordering process is as follows:
- The customer selects a product and a test center (e.g. pharmacy xy) and creates an appointment.
- The customer provides their email address and phone number.
- The customer confirms and agrees to the terms and conditions. Both the general terms and conditions and the cancellation policy can be saved and printed out.
- With the "Next" button, the customer gets to the summary and enters a CAPTCHA.
- With the confirmation, the customer receives a registration code.
