Further, the undersigned agrees and acknowledges that no guarantee can be made or has been made at the time of the imaging as to the picture or video quality and/or content of the imaging due to circumstances beyond the control of This Little Piggy Ultrasound, including, but not limited to: the position of the fetus(es), position of the placenta, mother's body habitus or position of the internal organs of the mother. If the technician deems beneficial, and you qualify by being in the recommended gestation for your session choice, the undersigned may be brought back for one rescan session at no charge within 7 days of initial appointment. If at that time the position of the fetus(es) impedes on the quality of images, all further rescan sessions are only $39.00 per session. Rescan sessions vary in length from 5 to 15 minutes. As we provide a service, not a product, refunds will not be granted for any circumstances listed above, or for circumstances out of our control.
