3. Important medical notice
⚕️ Lyvoo is not an emergency medical service and does not replace consultation with your GP or specialist.
Lyvoo's services are preventive and wellness-oriented. The information, reports, and recommendations provided through the Platform:
- Do not constitute a medical diagnosis
- Do not replace the assessment and advice of your attending physician
- Should not be used as the sole basis for health decisions
- Are not appropriate for urgent or emergency medical situations
In the event of a medical emergency, call 112 or go to your nearest A&E immediately.
If any Lyvoo result or recommendation causes you concern, we recommend consulting your GP or a specialist.
4. Account creation and management
4.1 Registration
To access Lyvoo's paid services, you must create an account by providing true, complete, and up-to-date information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activities carried out on your account.
4.2 Security
You must notify us immediately of any suspected unauthorised use of your account: suporte@lyvoo.pt. Lyvoo is not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorised use of your account.
4.3 One account per user
Each account is personal and non-transferable. Sharing an account with third parties or creating accounts on behalf of others without express authorisation is prohibited.
5. Plans and payments
5.1 Pricing
Lyvoo is a single annual all-inclusive programme, priced as follows at the date of publication of these Terms:
- Lyvoo Programme - €359/year (all inclusive)
All prices include VAT at the applicable legal rate. Lyvoo reserves the right to change prices with 30 days' prior notice to users with an active subscription.
5.2 Billing
Payment is annual and processed at the time of subscription. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. You will receive an invoice by email after each payment.
5.3 Renewal
The annual plan does not renew automatically. You will be notified by email 30 days before the programme ends, with the option to renew.
5.4 Add-on modules
Optional modules (Microbiome, Hormonal, Expanded Thyroid, etc.) are charged separately and are not included in the base plan. Prices are available on the modules page.
6. Cancellation and refunds
6.1 Immediate commencement of service and waiver of right of withdrawal
By confirming your subscription, you expressly agree that the performance of the service begins immediately - specifically the dispatch of the collection kit. Under Article 17(1)(a) of Decree-Law No. 24/2014 (Portuguese consumer law implementing Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights), the right of withdrawal does not apply after full performance of the service where performance has begun with the consumer's prior express agreement and acknowledgement that they would lose that right upon completion of performance.
This acceptance is obtained at the time of subscription via a mandatory checkbox with explicit legal text, before any payment is processed.
6.2 Refund policy by service phase
Eligibility for a refund depends on the stage of service execution at the time of the request:
| Situation | Refund |
|---|---|
| Cancellation request before kit is dispatched | Full refund |
| Kit dispatched but unused (sample not collected) | Refund minus shipping and processing costs (€15) |
| Kit used (sample sent to laboratory) | No refund - service commenced |
| Report delivered in the app | No refund - service completed |
6.3 Lyvoo's responsibilities
Regardless of the stage, Lyvoo commits to:
- Send a replacement kit at no cost in the event of a defective kit, kit damaged in transit, or technical failure
- Repeat the laboratory analysis at no cost in the event of an insufficient sample due to kit failure (not due to user collection error)
- Issue a full refund in the event of an inconclusive result attributable exclusively to Lyvoo or the partner laboratory
6.4 Account cancellation
You may cancel your account at any time via the Platform settings or by email to suporte@lyvoo.pt. Cancellation does not trigger any automatic refund - the table in section 6.2 applies depending on the stage of execution. The programme is annual and does not renew automatically.
6.5 How to request a refund or replacement
Send an email to suporte@lyvoo.pt with the subject line "Refund - [order number]", stating the reason and the stage you are at. We will respond within 3 working days.

8. Intellectual property

The user is granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable licence to access and use the Platform exclusively for personal purposes, within the scope of the services contracted.

9. Limitation of liability
Lyvoo is committed to providing its services with the utmost rigour and professionalism. However, there are limitations to our liability that are important to understand.
Lyvoo is not liable for:
- Damages resulting from medical decisions taken solely on the basis of Lyvoo results, without consultation with a healthcare professional
- Errors or inaccuracies arising from biological samples incorrectly collected by the user (not following the kit instructions)
- Temporary Platform unavailability for technical reasons beyond Lyvoo's control
- Indirect damages, loss of profits, or special damages, to the maximum extent permitted by law
Lyvoo's total liability to any user shall not exceed the amount paid for the current plan, except where the law imposes broader liability.
These limitations do not affect the consumer's statutory rights under Portuguese and European consumer protection legislation.
10. Suspension and termination
Lyvoo reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, in the following cases:
- Breach of these Terms
- Provision of false or misleading information
- Fraudulent or abusive activities
- Non-payment
- As required by law or court order
In the event of termination initiated by Lyvoo without cause attributable to the user, you will be refunded proportionally for the unused period of the plan.
11. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by Portuguese law. In the event of a dispute, the parties commit to seeking an amicable resolution in the first instance.
If no agreement can be reached, the user may have recourse to:
- Consumer dispute resolution (EU ODR platform) - ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
Without prejudice to the above, the courts of the consumer's domicile shall have jurisdiction to settle any disputes, in accordance with Portuguese law.
