Sessions must be confirmed more than 24 hours prior to the appointment. Packages must be paid in full immediately prior to your ultrasound session. The quality of the fetal portraits obtained varies depending on the position, gestational age, cord placement, tissue density, available fluid, as well as other factors. Refunds will not be given, as you are paying for our time, use of our equipment and technical skills; however, if no acceptable views are obtained, you are welcome to come back for 1 follow-up session with no additional fees. This session must be scheduled in office and will last 15 minutes. Redo session will be forfeited in the case of a no-show or cancellation.
Prenatal Care: I acknowledge that I have been informed by Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC that prenatal care is important to a healthy pregnancy. 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 am currently receiving prenatal care. If I have any concerns regarding my pregnancy, I will contact my doctor. I will in no way rely on Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC or its services for medical advice.
No Professional Negligence Claims: I am purchasing Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC services and products for keepsake, non-medical purposes. I agree that I have no right to recourse against Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC in any medical malpractice, professional negligence or any medical related claim arising out of or in any way related to my pregnancy or birth of my child. This includes any claim for error in gender determination.
Assumption of Risks: I acknowledge that there is inherent risk in any activity involving a fetus and there are potential risks in this type of activity. I understand Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC follows FDA recommendations for length of scan and frequency of ultrasound waves, and that no detrimental effects have been found in 40 years of studies. I hereby voluntarily assume all risk of harm or injury to me or my baby resulting from the services provided by Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC.
Waiver and Release of Claims: I hereby waive, release, acquit and forever discharge Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC from any and all claims, expenses, demands, costs, causes of action, and other actions and liabilities, of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, whether in law or equity, that I or my baby may have arising out of or in any way related to my visit to Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC. 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 Sweet Previews 3D Ultrasound LLC.
Image Quality: I understand that this is a non-diagnostic ultrasound. I also realize this ultrasound is done for entertainment purposes only. It is not the responsibility of the technologist to diagnose or report any abnormal finding, however, the technologist may contact my healthcare provider in the event of an anomaly or any abnormal finding. I am aware that certain circumstances may prevent the technologist from being able to obtain the images. Such circumstances include; fetal position, decreased amniotic fluid in the area of interest, maternal obesity, placental location and/or the extremities obstructing the sonographic view point. If this happens you will receive one free redo scan to be scheduled and used within 2 weeks of the initial visit. A no show of the redo scan will not be rescheduled.
