Gender identification with ultrasound is never 100% accurate. Our sonographer has many years of OB ultrasound experience and will make every effort to correctly identify gender during your scan. If, for whatever reason, the sonographer determines that gender identification was not possible at the time of your scan you will be rescheduled for a repeat scan at no charge. No refunds or credits will be given.

Advanced Women’s Health Specialists assume no liability whatsoever for the inadvertent and unwanted discloser of the gender of the fetus.

Payment is due prior to the start of the scan. During the ultrasound, the sonographer will exercise his/her best efforts to ensure that suitable images of the fetus are obtained. The patient and or customer acknowledge that, due to circumstances beyond our control, the quality or suitability of the images cannot be guaranteed. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, the position of the fetus, maternal factors, the placenta and the age of the fetus.

At the discretion of the sonographer, if optimal images cannot be obtained at the time of the scan you will be rescheduled for a repeat scan at no charge. No refunds or credits will be given.

I have read and agree to the above terms and conditions of the release form.
