The details of the services to be provided by NALA to you are set out in the individual service descriptions on the NALA App.
The holistic programme against skin conditions offered by NALA is an online-based, CE-marked Class I medical device in accordance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
However, the services offered by NALA do not constitute medical advice or treatment. They are not intended as substitutes for examination or treatment by a doctor or therapist, but can support a course of treatment and/or provide additional evidence for an examination.

All prices listed on the website http://www.NALA.care/pricing, in the NALA App and in the individual service descriptions are inclusive of any applicable value added tax.
