In addition, when using particular Geneus Services, you shall be subject to any guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted, revised, and/or changed from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. When any such change and/or revision are made, we will provide notice as described in this TOS. Geneus also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms of service.

1. Whether you submit your own saliva/buccal tissue sample, a saliva/buccal tissue sample for anyone for whom you have the 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 Geneus, or (2) you are a person who is not allowed from receiving the Services under the laws of the jurisdiction in the country which you reside.
2. In addition to the conditions above, if you contribute or otherwise provide your own Genetic Information, you must be twenty (20) years of age or older to agree to these TOS on behalf of yourself or those for whom you have the legal authority to agree.
3. If your use of the Services includes creating a Geneus 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.

The Services include access to the Geneus’s Website and personal genetic testing services, including the collection, processing, extraction, and analysis of your saliva/buccal tissues sample and also your Genetic Information. Unless stated otherwise, each new feature that is added or enhanced to the current Service will 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 used and/or performed by Geneus at the time of the purchase or viewing. As research and scientific knowledge and technology are always progressing and evolving, Geneus is continually innovating to provide the most possible information to its users. You acknowledge and agree that the Services which Geneus provides may change from time to time without prior notice. As part of the science continues evolving, you acknowledge and agree that Geneus may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or some features within the Services) without prior notice. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not have to inform Geneus when you stop using the Services unless you request the closure of your account. Geneus has no responsibility for the use of Services that are unapproved in TOS or other applicable terms.

1. Limitations – Genetic Information is subject to significant limitations, and you rely on information provided by Geneus, Geneus’s employees, and others that appear on Our Site at your own risk.
2. Only a small selection of genetic variants specifically associated with wellness traits that we provide the services. The scientific and research community is still learning more about genetics, and one of our missions is to contribute to this research. Additionally, many ethnic groups differ and/or are not included in many genetic studies. As our services interpret Genetic Information and rely on these published studies, some of the interpretations that we provide may not be applicable to you. In addition, future genetic research may change how DNA is interpreted by Geneus. In order to expand and accelerate the understanding of genetic knowledge in health care, we invite all genotyped users to participate in Geneus Research. Participation in such research is voluntary and based upon a consent document.
3. Geneus does not guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on Our Site. If we provide recommendations on what might work for you based on Genetic and User-Reported Information or scientific research, this is for informational and educational purposes only. Geneus is not a healthcare provider, and no medical advice is provided. Nothing contained in the Services should be assumed as such advice or as a diagnosis. The information and reports generated by us should not be interpreted as a substitute for physician consultation, evaluation, or treatment. Your use of the Services does NOT create a Doctor-Patient relationship between you and Geneus.
4. Lifestyle behaviors should not be changed solely based on the information from Geneus. You should discuss your Genetic Information with a healthcare professional or physician before acting upon data provided by Geneus services. There are other factors besides genetic markers involved such as environmental factors and lifestyle choices, which also affect wellness traits.
5. Learning about one’s Genetic Information is not for everybody. In some cases, Genetic Information may provide knowledge and information that may induce stress and strong emotion and has the potential to alter your worldview. You should consider the impact the information may have on you before using the Services provided by Geneus.
6. You should understand that as scientific research advances, additional services from Geneus and/or from a healthcare professional might be needed to evaluate and understand the meaning of one’s DNA. In many cases, the analysis of your Genetic Information is based on correlations between certain genetic markers and different characteristics. Genetic Information often cannot provide conclusive information about the interaction between certain genes and environmental factors, which can significantly change a particular outcome.
7. During the course of the Services, we collect information on a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). As a company, we focus on our analysis and reporting on information services related to the relationship between genetic markers and traits which means, in some reports, products, and/or services, some SNPs related to the Service you use are chosen to be analyzed by Geneus’s algorithms. This may cause additional charges if you need the full course of our services and you may contact us directly.
8. Sharing Genetic Information – Genetic Information you share with others such as companies, family, friends, or employers should be done with caution. Nowadays, very few businesses or insurance companies request genetic information. We can guarantee that your Genetic Information on our system is secured against those insurance companies. But if you receive the Services via hospital and/or clinic, the securities may not be guaranteed. Furthermore, Genetic Information that you choose to share with your physician or other health care provider apart from our health coaches may become part of your medical record and through that route be accessible to other third-party healthcare providers and/or insurance companies in the future. Choosing to share Genetic Information with these insurance providers is done at your own risk and if in doubt, should be discussed with a legal professional to understand the legal protections when sharing Genetic Information before disclosure.
9. The technology used by Geneus, which is also used by the research community, has not been used for clinical testing. To speed the understanding and the applications of genetic knowledge for clinical use, we may invite Users to voluntarily consent to participate in Geneus Research.
