1. Purchase agreement / contract
The following terms and conditions apply to all purchases and orders of Test/s from Allergy Link.
When you proceed and checkout to accept or use the Test/s from the website or purchase the test by other means directly from Allergy Link sending the completed order form, making payment (by cheque or Bank transfer), you accept the conditions and a contract shall come into effect.

2. What the Tests involve
Allergy Link's unique combination Allergy & Intolerance Tests are intended as information only, and are aimed at helping people to making informed decisions.

The test/s provided by Allergy Link are by no means a substitute for professional medical advice and are not to be used as a diagnosis.

The test/s are further not designed to diagnose or forecast reactions, nor will the results indicate that the individual will or may suffer any adverse or negative reaction (allergic or intolerant) to any of the indicated foods, food groups or substances.

  • Please note that our test/s can not fully guarantee to identify adverse reactions to food, food groups or substances when contact or ingestion has been avoided for more than 2-3 months. If you are currently not suffering from symptoms, or if you have been eliminating a known allergen this can affect your test results and reactions may not show up as positive. Especially if any food or food group has not been consumed regularly, or ‘known offenders’ been avoided and eliminated for a period of time (usually more than 2-3 months). However, If you have eliminated a particular food or substance that triggers your symptoms, please don't ingest or contact it just to have this confirmed by the test; simply note this and any avoided substance on the form.
  • If your test result does not show a positive result on a known previously advised allergen(or adverse reaction), it does not mean that you are not allergic to that particular allergen. So even with a negative result you should continue avoiding that particular allergen, food or substance.
  • Allergy Link accepts no responsibility for any adverse effects or any results that may occur from the usage of the information provided on the website; or contained in the test report/s or advice notes.
  • We make no medical claims as to the benefits of the test, or any of the suggestions to improve medical conditions.
  • Severe and potentially fatal anaphylactic reactions can still occur on exposure to any substance (allergen) at any time, even  if you found a negative rating from your test. Allergy Link accepts no responsibility for any symptoms or conditions that may develop caused by an allergic reaction to certain foods, food groups or substances.
  • Not all symptoms are caused by allergies or intolerances, they can always be symptomatic of an underlying medical condition.
  • We always recommend that you work in conjunction with your primary medical advisor, particularly if you have an existing medical condition, and that you do continue to take any prescribed medication.

As with any information provided by Allergy Link within this website or in the test reports, we recommend that everybody takes precaution to not apply, use or take anything without prior consulting or supervision of their primary healthcare provider.

Please Note: In our continued efforts to improve our service to you we may change or alter the items tested at any time. We further reserve the right to increase the price of the tests, delivery charges and/or any change in processing and delivery dates.
