You can accept the TOS by (1) clicking to accept or agree to the TOS, where this option is made available to you by TruDiagnostic for any Service; or by (2) actually using the Services. In this case, you acknowledge and agree that TruDiagnostic will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the TOS from that point onwards. In addition, when using particular 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. TruDiagnostic also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms of service.

3. Prerequisites

- Whether you submit your own blood sample, a blood 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 TruDiagnostic, 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.
- In addition to the conditions above, if you contribute or otherwise provide your own Epigenetic 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.
- If your use of the Services includes creating a TruDiagnostic account, without submitting a blood sample or otherwise providing Epigenetic 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 TruDiagnostic public website and personal epigenetic services, including the collection and analysis of your blood 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 TruDiagnostic at the time of the purchase, viewing or other use. As research progresses and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, TruDiagnostic 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 TruDiagnostic provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that TruDiagnostic may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at TruDiagnostic’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform TruDiagnostic when you stop using the Services. TruDiagnostic 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. You acknowledge and agree that while TruDiagnostic may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service, such fixed upper limits may be set by TruDiagnostic at any time, at TruDiagnostic’s discretion.

5. Risks and Considerations Regarding TruDiagnostic Services

Once you obtain your Epigenetic Information, the knowledge is irrevocable. You should not assume that any information we may be able to provide to you, whether now or as epigenetic 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 TruDiagnostic, your physician, a genetic counselor, or other health care provider.

We encourage you to talk to a licensed healthcare provider prior to collecting your sample for testing to learn more so you can make an informed decision about whether testing is right for you. A licensed healthcare provider can also help you understand your results and options.

Some people feel a little anxious about getting health results. This is normal. If you feel very anxious, you should speak to your physician or a counselor prior to collecting your sample for testing.

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 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 5% of the time if your blood does not contain a sufficient volume of DNA, you do not provide enough blood, or the results from processing do not meet our standards for accuracy. If the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, TruDiagnostic will reprocess the same sample at no charge to the user. If the second attempt to process the same sample fails, TruDiagnostic will offer to send another sample collection kit to the user to collect a second sample at no charge. If the user sends another sample and TruDiagnostic’s attempts to process the second sample are unsuccessful, TruDiagnostic 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 TruDiagnostic, 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, TruDiagnostic 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.

You should not change your health behaviors solely on the basis of Epigenetic Information from TruDiagnostic. Make sure to discuss your Epigenetic Information with a physician or other healthcare provider before you act upon the Epigenetic Information resulting from TruDiagnostic Services. If you have concerns or questions about what you learn through TruDiagnostic, you should contact your physician or other healthcare provider.

Epigenetic research is not comprehensive. While we measure many hundreds of thousands of data points from your DNA, only a small percentage of them are known to be related to human traits or health conditions. The research community is rapidly learning more about epigenetics, and an important mission of TruDiagnostic is to conduct and contribute to this research. In addition, many ethnic groups are not included in epigenetic 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.

Epigenetic Information you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about sharing your Epigenetic Information with others. Currently, very few businesses or insurance companies request epigenetic information, but this could change in the future. While the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (“GINA”) was signed into law in the United States in 2008, its protection against discrimination by employers and health insurance companies for employment and coverage issues, respectively, has not been clearly established. In addition, GINA does not cover life, long-term care, or disability insurance providers. Some, but not all, states and other jurisdictions have laws that further protect individuals with regard to their Epigenetic Information. You should consult a lawyer to understand the extent of legal protection of your Epigenetic Information before you share it with anybody. Furthermore, Epigenetic Information that you choose to share with your physician or other healthcare provider may become part of your medical record and through that route be accessible to other healthcare providers and/or insurance companies in the future. Epigenetic Information that you share with family, friends or employers may be used against your interests. Even if you share Epigenetic Information that has no or limited meaning today, that information could have greater meaning in the future as new discoveries are made. If you are asked by an insurance company whether you have learned Epigenetic Information about health conditions and you do not disclose this to them, this may be considered to be fraud.

TruDiagnostic Services are for research, informational, and educational use only. We do not provide medical advice. The Epigenetic Information provided by TruDiagnostic is for research, informational, and educational use only. This means two things. First, many of the epigenetic discoveries that we report have not been clinically validated, and the technology we use, which is the same technology used by the research community, to date has not been widely used for clinical testing. Second, in order to expand and accelerate the understanding and practical application of epigenetic knowledge in health care, we invite all users to participate in TruDiagnostic Research. Participation in such research is voluntary and based upon an IRB-approved consent document. As a result of the current state of epigenetic 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. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other health care provider with any questions you may have regarding diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or other medical condition or impairment or the status of your health.

TruDiagnostic does not endorse, warranty or guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action, resources, tests, physician or other health care providers, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on our website. If we provide to you on our website any recommendations that identify for you, based on your Epigenetic Information and Self-Reported Information and scientific literature or research, potentially actionable information, this information is intended for informational purposes only and for discussion with your physician or other healthcare provider. As explained on our website, TruDiagnostic believes that (a) epigenetics is only part of the picture of any individual’s state of being, (b) the state of the understanding of Epigenetic Information is rapidly evolving and at any given time we only comprehend part of the picture of the role of epigenetics, and (c) only a physician or other health care provider can assess your current state of health or disease, taking into account many factors, including in some cases your epigenetics as well as your current symptoms, if any. Reliance on any information provided by TruDiagnostic, TruDiagnostic employees, others appearing on our website at the invitation of TruDiagnostic, or other visitors to our website is solely at your own risk.

We are not universally licensed by all state, federal, or international authorities for genetic testing conducted for health and disease-related purposes. In addition, there are certain jurisdictions in which we do not offer our Services because we do not have the required licenses.

28. Dispute Resolution (including Arbitration, Class Action Waiver and Time to Initiate Action)
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

(a) Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at customercare@TruDiagnostic.com to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. You agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

(b) Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 28(a) above, then either you or we may initiate binding arbitration. Except for any disputes excluded below in Section 28(d), all claims arising out of or relating to these TOS (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these TOS, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these TOS is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these TOS shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. If you initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250) and the claim is found to be non-frivolous, we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. We will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by you for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by us if you do not prevail in arbitration. We will also pay JAMS to reimburse you for any portion of the $250 filing fee that is more than what you would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law.

You understand that, absent arbitration, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

(c) Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and we each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 28(b) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief (i) in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction, and (ii) any disputes relating to intellectual property rights, obligations, or any infringement claims.

(e) 30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 28(b) and 28(c) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out by emailing us at arbitrationoptout@TruDiagnostic.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Service, or the effective date of the first set of TOS containing an Arbitration and Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver section otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

(f) Term for Cause of Action. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

(g) Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 28(b) do not apply or if you have opted out of arbitration, you agree that any litigation shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in LaFayette County, Kentucky (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). You expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in LaFayette County, Kentucky for any litigation other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these TOS or the Service, you agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.

29. Miscellaneous

(a) Entire Agreement. The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and TruDiagnostic and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and TruDiagnostic on this subject. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software

(b) Waiver. The failure of TruDiagnostic to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.

(c) Admissibility of printed version. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

(d) Section titles. The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

(e) Severability Clause. If any portion of these TOS is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect.

(f) Assignment: You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Agreement. Any purported assignment and delegation shall be ineffective. We may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under the Agreement, fully or partially without notice to you. We may also substitute, by way of unilateral novation, effective upon notice to you, TruDiagnostic for any third party that assumes our rights and obligations under this Agreement.
