We aim to offer transparency around our use of your personal information. We (and our partners) will need to process your personal data (including sensitive (special category) data) in order to provide you with our Services – for example, data concerning your health and medical history. We explain how we do this and how we take steps to comply with applicable data protection laws (including the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and the Data Protection Act 2018) in our
.We may, in the future, offer for sale home DNA and hormone testing kits – we will update these Terms and our Privacy Policy to reflect that (and any other) new Service prior to making the same available to you. Please keep an eye on this page for any updates.
Please note, the contract for the sale and supply of any contraception to you will be between you and our selected Pharmacy (detailed below). We act as sales agent on behalf of the Pharmacy and help to process your orders and payments. You will be notified of any additional terms and conditions which apply to your order for contraception by the Pharmacy at the time you place your order on the Site (please see paragraph 8 for more details).

Our Site is owned and operated by Uniq Health Limited registered in England and Wales with registered office at 82b High Street, Sawston, Cambridge, England, CB22 3HJ and company registration number 10972015 (“Tuune” or “we”, “our”, “us”). You may contact us at help@tuune.com.
If we need to contact you for any reason we will do so by phone, email or post to the telephone number, email address or postal address that you provided when registering for your Tuune account. When we say “writing” or “written” in these Terms, this includes emails.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you understand the questions in the questionnaires you complete on our Site (including the Health Assessment). You must contact us at help@tuune.com or speak to your regular healthcare provider if you do not understand a question or are unsure how you should answer certain questions or you do not fully understand the recommendations or information given to you on our Site (including during the Health Assessment). PLEASE ALSO READ THE IMPORTANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AT SECTION 14 OF THESE TERMS.
You acknowledge that the recommendations given on our Site are not intended to replace your regular healthcare provider service. You must tell your regular healthcare provider about any contraception prescribed and supplied by our Pharmacy.
At Tuune we strive to provide high quality services by providing personalized recommendations based on your responses and specifications. For this purpose, we rely on the information you submit to us during the Health Assessment and any other consultation questionnaires presented on our Site. You must therefore ensure that such information is always submitted truthfully and honestly. You must disclose all relevant information to the best of your knowledge, and ensure it is accurate (whether regarding your age, gender, health history or otherwise) and provide complete, accurate and reliable answers to the questions asked during the Health Assessment regarding your physical and mental profile.
Save as expressly stated in these Terms, no warranties, representations or guarantees are given by Tuune (whether express or implied) as to your use of the Site and/or the Services.
To reduce the impact of any potential adverse effects of prescribed contraception, Tuune will help you monitor the effects of your chosen contraception over time through the use of online questionnaires. It is your responsibility to participate in such questionnaires; if you fail to do so, we cannot help to address and mitigate any adverse effects you may be suffering.
Tuune is not an emergency service.
If you believe that you are in a situation requiring urgent or emergency care you should contact the emergency medical services in your area immediately. 999 is the official emergency number for the United Kingdom and 911 is the nationwide emergency number in the United States.
Unregistered guests are free to browse limited areas of our Site (subject to the relevant provisions of these Terms), but if you wish to access all areas of our Site and use our Services (including our Health Assessment and/or to purchase contraception) you must first register for an account with us by completing the online registration form on our Site.
When registering for an account, we ask you to ensure that all information you provide to us on registration is true and accurate, current and complete. If there are any changes to the details supplied to us at registration (or thereafter) it is your responsibility to inform us straight away. Changes to your registration details should be made via your Tuune account.
If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms. If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user identification code or password, you must promptly notify us at help@tuune.com.
Please note, the majority of Services (including our Health Assessment and prescription service) are intended for users who are:
UK resident;
above the age of 18 and below the age of 50; and
who are on or considering combined hormonal contraceptive or progesterone-only contraception.
Our Services are not available for users under the age of 18.
By agreeing to these Terms, you are deemed to be capable of making medical decisions regarding your own health and to have sufficient fluency in English as to understand these Terms.
The Tuune questionnaire is a digital health assessment tool that enables both a better understanding of your hormones and precision contraceptive recommendations. The Health Assessment is an integrated health assessment consisting of questions relating to your cycle, wellbeing priorities, medical history and contraceptive history.
To obtain a holistic evaluation of your hormones and health, the Health Assessment will ask you to digitally provide self-reported responses to the questions mentioned above. To provide precision contraceptive recommendations, our proprietary algorithm will match you to the most suitable contraceptive options based on the answers you have provided.
The Health Assessment is registered as a medical device with Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Our Health Assessment will ask you questions relating to your mental and physical background. Tuune will classify users into three contraception eligibility groups:
users who can safely be prescribed a combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) or a progesterone-only pill (POP);
users who can safely be prescribed a POP, but not a CHC; or
users who will require expert clinical review before any contraception can be prescribed.
The Health Assessment will seek to obtain sufficient information about you to determine which contraception eligibility group you sit in. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that when responding to our Health Assessment the information you give is true, accurate and complete.
Each user will be given the appropriate recommendation based on the information provided during our Health Assessment and the report that is created based on the interaction. We may also need to refer you to one of our specialist partner clinicians based on the information you give during our Health Assessment; our clinician will prepare a clinical report which you can choose to share with Tuune.
If our Health Assessment or (where applicable) clinician, determines you can safely be given contraception, you can choose to have your report forwarded to our partner Pharmacy who can prescribe and fulfil the prescription (please see paragraph 8 below for more details). Alternatively you will be able to share your report with your healthcare professional in order to get a prescription.
Please note, details of all consultations and questionnaires communicated via the Health Assessment are retained by us in accordance with all applicable laws.
Title and interest in and to all data generated during our Health Assessment and all intellectual property therein are and will remain with Tuune and its licensors. You acknowledge and agree that you have no right, licence or authorisation with respect to any of the data (including any intellectual property therein) except as expressly set forth in these Terms.
When using our Health Assessment service, you grant Tuune a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to access and use the data you submit to it in order for us to provide the Services, develop pattern data and machine learning, and otherwise use anonymised data for the purpose of delivering the Services and improving our products and services.
Tuune does not itself provide prescriptions or contraception; it provides contraceptive recommendations based on the outcome of your Health Assessment. We work with selected clinicians and pharmacies who are responsible for provision of prescriptions and contraception to you.
The partner clinicians we engage are registered in the United Kingdom with the General Pharmaceutical Council and are trained in providing remote consultations.
Our selected pharmacy is Mayberry Pharmacy Limited (the “Pharmacy”), whose address is 75 High St, Blackwood, NP12 1AA, registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under GPhC number 1043349. Our Pharmacy has been approved to sell and supply prescription contraception online via our Site. The Pharmacy is responsible for the prescriptions it issues.
Except as set out above, the contract for provision of our Services, will be between you and Tuune (and is governed by these Terms).
When you sign up to our Health Assessment, that constitutes an offer to purchase the associated Services from us. We will confirm whether we accept your offer (by email or on-screen) and at that point you enter into a contract directly with us for provision of the Health Assessment pursuant to these Terms.
If applicable, the fees for using our Health Assessment, together with any follow up communications we have with you regarding that consultation, will be communicated to you prior to signing up for the consultation. Any such fees must be paid by you before you can start the consultation. We currently only accept payments made on our Site via Viva Wallet.
We may (at our sole discretion) make our Health Assessment available to users on a free of charge basis for a limited trial period only. Details of the trial period will be published on our Site. Please note, we reserve the right to suspend or withdraw the free trial period for any reason. In such circumstances we will use reasonable efforts to notify you in advance. The free trial will not apply to your order for prescription contraception (fees for which will always be payable, unless you are exempt).
As mentioned above, when you place an order for a prescription you make an offer to purchase contraception via the Site. The fees associated with your prescription will be communicated to you prior to placing your order. Such fees must be paid by you before the Pharmacy issues your prescription and dispense your contraception (as detailed below). We currently only accept payments made on our Site via Viva Wallet.
Once you have placed your order, the request will be sent to our Pharmacy. Our Pharmacy will review the request, and if your prescription is approved, we will confirm your order to you.
Our Pharmacy reserves the right to refuse your order if it is determined the contraception is not clinically appropriate for you. In such circumstances the individual prescriber will let us know and we will get in touch with you to let you know. We may (in certain circumstances) discuss the order request in more detail with you, and (if you agree) will share the outcome of our discussions with the individual prescriber, who may (at their sole discretion and based on that outcome) reconsider the order request. If approved, we will confirm your order to you.
If your order request is rejected, we will cancel your order and arrange a refund to you of the fees you have already paid for such order.
At the point we confirm your order to you, the contract between you and the Pharmacy will come into effect and will be governed by these Terms and any other terms and conditions notified to you at the time. Payment of the fees will be taken from your chosen payment method and the Pharmacy will sell, supply, dispense and post contraception to you directly.
All communications relating to your prescription must be done via us at help@tuune.com. We will liaise with the Pharmacy and prescribers on your behalf, unless the Pharmacy or prescriber determines they need to speak with directly; in such circumstances will be introduced you. The customer service email help@tuune.com should only be used for general Site queries.
All prices on our Site are in pounds sterling and include VAT unless expressly stated otherwise. We take care to ensure that all pricing information on our Site is accurate but occasionally there may be an error. In the event that an error has occurred and the price charged is too high, we will identify all those that have overpaid and refund the difference.
In providing payment card details, you confirm that you are authorised to use the card and authorise us, or our payment service provider (currently Viva Wallet), to take payment in full for the items in your order and any associated delivery fees and any other charges that become due to us under these Terms. The transaction will appear on your bank or card statement as ‘Tuune’.
Refunds, if applicable, will only be made using the payment gateway to the card originally used for payment. Refunds may take up to ten working days to appear on a card statement.
If you want to make any changes to your order please get in touch. If the change you have asked for is possible we will let you know about any changes we need to make to the price of the order, the timing of delivery or anything else which is different as a result of the change. We will also check whether you want to go ahead with the order on this basis.
Our Pharmacy will dispense all prescription contraception, usually within three working days of the prescriber authorising the supply of the contraception. Deliveries are currently only within the UK.
Delivery charges are set out on our Site.
During the order process for prescription contraception we will let you know when our Pharmacy will deliver the contraception to you or we will contact you with an estimated delivery date.
You agree that a signature will not be required on receipt of delivery and that you are happy for prescription products to be posted through the letter box at the delivery address. You confirm that there are no animals or young children at the delivery address who may have access to the products once delivered.
On receiving your order, and before using any contraception, you should carefully read any information which accompanies the product (including but not limited to the Patient Dispensing Label, the patient information leaflet and/or the manufacturer’s guidelines) and you acknowledge and agree that you will only use the product in accordance with such information and instructions. Any failure to follow such information is at your own risk.
You should stop taking the contraception and seek immediate advice from a doctor or other healthcare practitioner if you experience any significant side effects.
If delivery is delayed then we will let you know as soon as possible, and will work with the Pharmacy to expedite delivery. We are not (and neither is the Pharmacy) responsible for delays that are caused by reasons outside of our (and/or the Pharmacy’s) control.
If no one is available at your address to take delivery and it is not possible to post the parcel through the letter box, the courier may, according to their policies, either leave you a note informing you how to rearrange delivery or leave your parcel with a neighbour. Where the parcel is taken to the delivery depot, if you do not then either collect the products from a delivery depot or contact us to re-arrange delivery we will contact you for further instructions and details (including details of any additional delivery costs). If we are unable to contact you or to re-arrange delivery or collection we may cancel your order (and in such circumstances we will refund the fees paid by you for such order, less the delivery charges).
The product(s) will be your responsibility from the time of delivery to the address you gave us. You own the product(s) once we have received payment in full following acceptance of the order.
We will contact you to tell you if the Pharmacy will be suspending supply of any contraception. You may contact us to cancel your order if such supply is suspended. We will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the contraception.
When you use our Health Assessment and/or place an order for prescription contraception via the Site, that requires us to perform an assessment of your clinical suitability for the contraception before the contraception can be approved for supply. You agree to us commencing this service and an assessment of your clinical suitability for contraception when you sign up to the Health Assessment and place the order, and as such you will have no legal right to cancel your order under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
If the contraception is damaged or does not match the description provided online you may have a legal right to cancel your order, to get a replacement, or to get some or all of your money back. In such circumstances, please contact us. You can email our customer service team at help@tuune.com.
