2. This Site Does Not Provide Medical Advice

The Athletigen Services are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have about a medical condition or regarding your physical or mental health and wellness. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on Athletigen’s website or information that is mentioned, provided or recommended as part of Athletigen’s Services. If you experience any pain or difficulty with exercise or diet, stop and consult your healthcare provider. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or 911 immediately.

3. Acceptance of Terms

Your use of Athletigen's Services is subject to the terms defined in these Terms of Service (“TOS”). These TOS apply to any use of Athletigen's Services, including:

1. Submitting a saliva sample for DNA extraction and analysis;
2. Providing a digital version of your Genetic Information, interpreting the analyzed data and information on the Athletigen website, and following any recommendations, advice, suggestions or proposed actions that Athletigen provides related to your Personal Information or in general; and/or
3. Registering and using a free Athletigen account without providing a saliva sample or Genetic Information and acting on any information or recommendation, advice, suggestion or proposed action provided by Athletigen.

To use Athletigen's Services, you must first agree to the TOS. You cannot use the Services if you do not accept the TOS. The TOS is accepted by using the Services.

You accept and agree that Athletigen will treat your use of the Services as implied acceptance of the TOS from that point onward. Some of the Services (both existing and new) may be subject to additional terms and/or conditions. When you first use these services, we will bring this to your attention. The terms for such services are subject to revision or change, like the rest of the TOS. When any such changes are made, we will provide notice as described in the TOS.

4. Prerequisites

Users who provide genetic information must be (a) at least 18 years of age or have the written permission of a parent or guardian, and (b) lawfully able to use the Services under the laws where you reside.

Specifically with regard to the 7e service, Athletigen will only genotype those under 18 years of age with the written permission of a parent or guardian.

5. The Services

The Services include access to the Athletigen website and its personal genetic services, which include the collection, extraction, and analysis of your Genetic Information, as well as the provision of recommendations, advice, suggestions or proposed actions, both in general and specific to your Personal Information, based on a saliva sample or the electronic transmission of your Genetic Information from other sources at your direction. Unless stated, each new feature that is added to the current Services will be subject to the TOS. You accept and agree that the Services are provided “AS-IS” and are based on the current state of genetic research and technology used by Athletigen when using the Services.

Scientific research is always changing and genetic technology is always evolving, therefore, Athletigen is always innovating in order to provide the best information to its users. You agree that the Services might change from time to time without any prior notice. As part of this continuing evolution of science, you accept and agree that Athletigen might stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or features within the Services) to its users without prior notice.

You can stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to inform Athletigen when you stop using the Services, unless you request to close your account. Athletigen does not have any responsibility for the use of the Services outside the TOS terms or any other terms that apply.

In order to make use of the Services, you must have Internet access, directly or through devices that have access to web content, and you must pay any outside service fees associated with this access. You must also provide all the equipment necessary to connect to the Internet, which includes a computer and a modem or another access device. You agree that while Athletigen does not have a set upper limit on the number of transmissions you send or receive through the Services, or the amount of storage space used for providing any Service, this fixed upper limit may be set by Athletigen at any time at its sole discretion.

6. Risks and Considerations

Limitations of Genetic Information

Genetic Information provides a limited window into your health and fitness. It is only one aspect of your entire health and fitness outlook and should not be assumed to be conclusive.

Learning about one’s Genetic Information is not for everybody. In some cases, your Genetic Information may provide knowledge and information that is not positive. You should not assume that any information we provide will be positive. You should also understand that as scientific research advances, you might need to obtain additional services from Athletigen, or from your physician or health care provider, in order to assess and understand the meaning of your DNA, now and in light of new scientific information. In many cases, the analysis of your Genetic Information is based on correlations between certain genetic markers and different characteristics. Genetic Information cannot provide you with conclusive information about the interaction between certain genes and environmental factors, which can significantly change a particular outcome.

You should not act, refrain from acting or alter your health behaviours solely based on the information provided to you by Athletigen. Make sure you discuss your Genetic Information with a physician or health care provider before you act upon the data or recommendations, advice, suggestions or proposed actions provided by Athletigen Services. For most common diseases, individual genetic markers are only responsible for a small fraction of the risk factors. There are other factors, such as other (perhaps unknown) genetic markers, environmental factors and lifestyle choices, which might be more important predictors for diseases.

If your data tells you that you do not have an elevated risk for a particular condition, you should not assume that you are entirely protected from this condition. The opposite can be true as well: if your genetic data tells you that you are at higher risk for a particular condition, it does not mean that you will develop this condition. If you have concerns or questions regarding any of this, you should contact your physician or another health care provider.

As a whole, genetic research is not complete. We measure many points of information in your DNA, but only a small percentage of them relate to human traits. The scientific community is still learning about genetics and one of Athletigen's goals is to contribute to this research. Additionally, many ethnic groups differ or are not included at all in many genetic studies. Similarly, some scientific studies may be based solely on research of one gender. As our Services interpret your Genetic Information based on scientific published studies, some of the interpretations that we provide may not apply to you. In addition, future genetic research may change how your DNA is interpreted by Athletigen.

The Genetic Information that you share with other people can be used against your best interests. Therefore, you should be extremely cautious when sharing your Genetic Information. As of now, few businesses or companies request genetic information, but this can always change. You may want to talk to a lawyer to understand the legal protections surrounding your Genetic Information before you share it with anybody.

Further, Genetic Information that you choose to share with your physician or health care provider can become part of your medical records and can potentially be accessed by third-party health care providers or insurance companies. Sharing Genetic Information with your family, friends or employers can be used against your interests. Your Genetic Information may have limited meaning today, but this information may well have a greater meaning in the future.

Athletigen Services are for research, informational and educational use only. No medical advice is provided. The genetic information reported has not been clinically validated. The technology used by Athletigen, which is also used by the research community, has not been used for clinical testing. In order to speed the understanding and the applications of genetic knowledge for clinical use, we invite all users to participate in Athletigen Research.

Participation in this research is voluntary. Before participating in research, you will be asked to provide consent, which sets out more information on Athletigen Research. Because of the current state of genetic information, our Services are only used for research, informational, and educational purposes.

Our Services are not to be used by the user as diagnostic tools and should not be a substitute for professional medical advice. You should always seek the advice from your physician or health care provider regarding any questions that you have regarding diagnosis, cure, or prevention of any disease or condition or regarding your physical or mental health and wellness.

Athletigen does not guarantee the effectiveness of or make any representation or warranties regarding any specific course of action, procedures, treatment, opinions, usage of dietary supplements, medication, preparation or other product or service or other information that may be mentioned, provided or recommended on our website or as part of Athletigen's Services. If we provide you with recommendations, advice, suggestions or proposed actions that might work for you based on your Genetic and Self-Reported Information and scientific research, this information should be seen as intended for informational purposes only or for discussion with your physician or health care provider.

Athletigen believes that:

1. genetics is not the full picture of someone’s present, future or potential state of being;
2. the understanding of Genetic Information is always evolving and there are still many things to discover and understand;
3. only a physician or health care provider can assess your state of health or conditions, taking into account many factors, including your Genetic Information and your current symptoms.

Genetic Information is subject to significant limitations and you rely on information, recommendations, advice, suggestions or proposed actions provided by Athletigen, Athletigen's employees, and others appearing on our website or as part of Athletigen's Services at your own risk.

Testing Limitations

Athletigen’s laboratory may not be able to process your sample and the analysis may result in errors. The laboratory may not be able to process your sample if your saliva sample does not contain enough DNA volume, you do not provide enough saliva, or the results do not meet the requisite quality and accuracy standards.

If the laboratory processing fails because of any of these reasons, the user has one of two options:

1. Athletigen will process the same saliva sample without any additional charges to the user. If the second attempt fails, Athletigen will offer to ship another kit to the user to collect a second saliva sample at no charge; or the user may elect a full refund of the amounts paid to Athletigen.
2. If the user elects a refund under (b) and subsequently purchases another test that is not successful, the user will not be entitled to a re-test or a refund for that purchase. Despite established standards for the processing of saliva samples, a small fraction of data processed during the laboratory process may not be capable of interpretation or may be incorrect (referred as “Errors”). Users are not entitled to refunds arising from Errors.
