2. Acceptance of Terms

 

Your use of Fzero Genomics Services is subject to the terms of the legal agreement between you and Fzero Genomics set forth in these Terms of Service ("TOS"). Except as specified herein, these TOS apply to any use of the Services, including but not limited to a) submitting a saliva sample for DNA extraction and processing, b) uploading a digital version of your Genetic Information and interacting with it on the Fzero Genomics website. In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the TOS. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the TOS. You can accept the TOS by (1) clicking to accept or agree to the TOS, where this option is made available to you by Fzero Genomics for any Service; or by (2) actually using the Services. In this case, you acknowledge and agree that Fzero Genomics will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the TOS from that point onwards. In addition, when using particular Fzero Genomics Services, you shall be subject to any guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. Fzero Genomics also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms of service.

 3. Prerequisites

 a.         Whether you submit your own saliva sample, a saliva sample for anyone for whom you have legal authority to agree, or otherwise provide your own Genetic Information, you may not use the Services and may not accept the TOS if (1) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Fzero Genomics, or (2) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.

b.         In addition to the conditions above, if you contribute or otherwise provide your own Genetic Information, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to agree to these TOS on behalf of yourself or those for whom you have legal authority to agree.

c.         If your use of the Services includes creating a Fzero Genomics account, without submitting a saliva sample or otherwise providing Genetic Information, you must be thirteen (13) years of age or older to use the Services and accept the TOS.

4. Description of the Services

 The Services include access to the Fzero Genomics public website and personal genotyping services, including the collection and analysis of your saliva sample. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each new feature that augments or enhances the current Service shall be subject to the TOS. You acknowledge and agree that the Services are provided "AS-IS" and are based on the current state of the art of genetic research and technology in use by Fzero Genomics at the time of the purchase or viewing. As research progresses and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, Fzero Genomics is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services which Fzero Genomics provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Fzero Genomics may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Fzero Genomics’ sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Fzero Genomics when you stop using the Services unless you are requesting closure of your account. Fzero Genomics assumes no responsibility for the use of Services outside the terms of this TOS or other applicable terms.

In order to use the Services, you must obtain Internet access, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. You are solely responsible for paying such fees. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such Internet connection, including a computer and modem or other access device.  You are solely responsible for providing such equipment.

5. Risks and Considerations Regarding Fzero Genomics Services

 

 Once you obtain your Genetic Information, the knowledge is irrevocable.  You should not assume that any information we may be able to provide to you, whether now or as genetic research advances, will be welcome or positive. You should also understand that as research advances, in order for you to assess the meaning of your DNA in the context of such advances, you may need to obtain further services from Fzero Genomics or a genetic counselor. A genetic counselor also can help you understand your results and options.

 You may learn information about yourself that you do not anticipate.  This information may evoke strong emotions and has the potential to alter your life and worldview. You may discover things about yourself that trouble you and that you may not have the ability to control or change (e.g., your father is not genetically your father, surprising facts related to your ancestry, or that someone with your genotype may have a higher than average chance of developing a specific condition or disease). These outcomes could have social, legal, or economic implications.

 The laboratory may not be able to process your sample, and the laboratory process may result in errors.  The laboratory may not be able to process your sample up to 3.0% of the time if your saliva does not contain a sufficient volume of DNA, you do not provide enough saliva, or the results from processing do not meet our standards for accuracy.*  If the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, Fzero Genomics will reprocess the same sample at no charge to the user. If the second attempt to process the same sample fails, Fzero Genomics will offer to send another kit to the user to collect a second sample at no charge. If the user sends another sample and Fzero Genomics’ attempts to process the second sample are unsuccessful Fzero Genomics will not send additional sample collection kits and the user will be entitled solely and exclusively to a complete refund of the amount paid to Fzero Genomics, less shipping and handling, provided the user shall not resubmit another sample through a future purchase of the service. If the user breaches this policy agreement and resubmits another sample through a future purchase of the service and processing is not successful, Fzero Genomics will not offer to reprocess the sample or provide the user a refund. Even for processing that meets our high standards, a small, unknown fraction of the data generated during the laboratory process may be un-interpretable or incorrect (referred to as "Errors"). As this possibility is known in advance, users are not entitled to refunds where these Errors occur.

 Genetic research is not comprehensive. The research community is rapidly learning more about genetics, and an important mission of Fzero Genomics is to conduct and contribute to this research. In addition, many ethnic groups are not included in genetic studies. Because interpretations provided in our service rely on these published studies, some interpretations may not apply to you. Future scientific research may change the interpretation of your DNA. In the future, the scientific community may show previous research to be incomplete or inaccurate.

 Genetic Information you share with others could be used against your interests.  You should be careful about sharing your Genetic Information with others. You may want to consult a lawyer to understand the extent of legal protection of your Genetic Information before you share it with anybody.

Genetic Information that you share with family, friends or employers may be used against your interests. Even if you share Genetic Information that has no or limited meaning today, that information could have greater meaning in the future as new discoveries are made.

Fzero Genomics Services are for research, informational, and educational use only.  The Genetic Information provided by Fzero Genomics is for research, informational, and educational use only. We invite all genotyped users to participate in Fzero Genomics Research. Participation in such research is voluntary and based upon an IRB-approved consent document.

 As a result of the current state of genetic knowledge and understanding, our Services are for research, informational, and educational purposes only.  The Services are not intended to be used by the customer for any diagnostic purpose and are not a substitute for professional medical advice.

We are licensed to conduct business in Trinidad and Tobago.
