Terms of Service

As a condition of receiving a diagnostic ultrasound from Peek Ultrasound Inc., I hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following statements.

Prenatal Care: I have been informed by Peek Ultrasound Inc. that prenatal care is important to a healthy pregnancy. I am currently receiving prenatal care.

Concerns Should be Referred to Physician: I have been informed by Peek Ultrasound Inc. that Peek Ultrasound Inc. services do not substitute for care of a physician or other qualified provider. I understand that the sonographer performing the ultrasound is not a physician. I will in no way rely upon Peek Ultrasound Inc. services, staff, agents, or employees for medical advice. I understand I am responsible for contacting my physician or other qualified provider if any questions or concerns arise relating to this ultrasound or any aspect of my pregnancy.

No Professional Negligence Claims: I agree that I have no right to recourse against Peek Ultrasound Inc. in any medical malpractice claim, professional negligence claim, or any other medical-related claim arising out of, or in any way related to, my pregnancy or the birth of my child. This includes any claim for error in gender determination.

Assumption of Risks: I acknowledge that there is an inherent risk in any activity involving a fetus. I understand that while ultrasound is believed to have no harmful effects on the mother or the fetus, future research or other information may disclose harmful or adverse effects that are presently unknown. I understand Peek Ultrasound Inc. follows FDA recommendations for ultrasound exam duration and ultrasound machine settings. I hereby voluntarily assume all risks of harm or injury to me or my baby resulting from the services provided. I agree to release Peek Ultrasound Inc. from any and all claims or causes of action for injury, harm, loss, damage, or other liability, whether caused by the negligence of the released parties or otherwise, which results from, or alleges to have resulted from, this ultrasound.

Waiver and Release of Claims: I hereby waive, release, acquit, hold harmless, and forever discharge Peek Ultrasound Inc. from any and all claims, expenses, demands, costs, or causes of action for injury, harm, loss, damage, or other liability, whether known or unknown, whether in law or equity, which results from, or alleges to result from, my visit to Peek Ultrasound Inc., including failure of the released parties to accurately determine fetal gender or any other characteristics of the fetus. I agree that I shall have no right whatsoever to file any lawsuit or institute any other action or legal proceedings of any type arising out of, or in any way related to, my visit to Peek Ultrasound Inc. I will indemnify Peek Ultrasound Inc. with respect to any complaint and will agree to arbitration in the state of New Yok if any disagreements occur.

Photo Release: I give Peek Ultrasound Inc. permission to post, use, and/or edit any photos or recorded data obtained during my session for advertisement purposes. I allow Peek Ultrasound Inc. the right to publish, reproduce, exhibit and/or copyright any images or videos obtained during my session anywhere in the world in connection with Peek Ultrasound Inc. in any manner whatsoever without further authorization or consent from or payment to me. I understand that names and personal information will be removed from any advertising materials.

Image Quality: I understand that the quality of ultrasound images and videos depends on many factors including, but not limited to, maternal body habitus, amniotic fluid volume, gestational age, placental position, and fetal position. I understand Peek Ultrasound Inc. does not guarantee image quality or the ability to visualize any characteristics of the fetus, including fetal gender. I acknowledge that no guarantee can be made relating to picture or video quality due to the circumstances listed above, or any other circumstances beyond the control of Peek Ultrasound Inc., its staff, agents and employees. Further, I acknowledge that factors beyond the control of Peek Ultrasound Inc. may affect the ability to accurately determine the gender of the fetus and that there is no guarantee as to the accuracy of any such determination. I understand no refunds are available if images or gender determination are unobtainable after every reasonable attempt is made.

Rescan Policy: I understand that if the sonographer deems beneficial, and that if I qualify by being within the recommended gestational age for my session choice, that I may be brought back for one (1) rescan session at no additional charge within ten (10) days of my initial appointment. If at that time any factors including, but not limited to, maternal body habitus, amniotic fluid volume, gestational age, placental position, or fetal position impede on the quality of the images or the ability to accurately determine the gender of the fetus, all further rescan sessions are at a cost of $49.00 per session.

Refund Policy: I acknowledge that Peek Ultrasound Inc. provides a service, not a product, and that refunds will not be granted for any circumstances. I understand that Peek Ultrasound Inc. will attempt to retain backup files of any ultrasound images or videos obtained during my session. I understand that Peek Ultrasound Inc. is not responsible for the loss or damage or any media or merchandise in my possession once I leave the premises or once the expiration of a link occurs.

I understand that this ultrasound is not to be used to replace physician care. I have been informed that the Federal Food and Drug Administration has determined that the use of medical ultrasound equipment for reasons other than medical purposes, without a physician’s prescription, is an unapproved use. I have been informed that Peek Ultrasound Inc. follows FDA recommendations for ultrasound exam duration and ultrasound machine settings.

By accepting these terms of service, I hereby release, acquit, hold harmless, and forever discharge Peek Ultrasound Inc., its staff, agents and employees, from any and all matters of foreseen or unforeseen claims, demands, damages, actions, or causes of actions by me individually and/or on the behalf of the fetus(es) resulting from any ultrasound imaging performed at Peek Ultrasound Inc.

By booking and moving forward with the appointment, I certify that I have carefully read, understand, and agree to the above terms of service.
