2. Acceptance of Terms

Your use of AGQ ‘s Services (excluding any services provided by AGQ under a separate agreement) is subject to the terms of the legal agreement between you and AGQ 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 submitting a water sample for testing and processing. 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 AGQ for any Service; or by (2) actually using the Services. In this case, you acknowledge and agree that AGQ will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the TOS from that point onwards. In addition, when using particular AGQ 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. AGQ also may offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms of service.

3. Prerequisites

Whether you submit your own water sample, or a water sample for anyone for whom you have legal authority to agree, 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 AGQ, 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 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.

4. Description of the Services

The Services include access to testing results provided by AGQ for the sample provided. 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 research and technology in use by AGQ at the time of the purchase or viewing. As research progresses and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, AGQ 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 AGQ provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. As part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that AGQ may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at AGQ’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform AGQ when you stop using the Services unless you are requesting closure of your account. AGQ 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 AGQ 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 AGQ at any time, at AGQ’s discretion.

5. Risks and Considerations Regarding AGQ Services

Once you obtain your requested results based on the sample provided, the knowledge is irrevocable. AGQ does not interpret the results of its testing and will only provide raw data for your review and consideration. 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 results in the context of such advances, you may need to obtain further services from AGQ, your physician, a health care counselor, or other health care provider.

We encourage you to talk to a health care counselor, a health professional with special training in the relevant conditions, 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 genetic counselor also can help you understand your results and options.

Some people feel a little anxious about getting test results. This is normal. If you feel very anxious, you should speak to your physician or a genetic 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 (e.g., someone with similar results 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 due to our standards for accuracy and process. If the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, AGQ care will reprocess the same sample at no charge to the user. If the user sends another sample and AGQ’s attempts to process the second sample are unsuccessful, AGQ 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 AGQ, 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, AGQ 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 information from AGQ. Make sure to discuss your testing results with a physician or other health care provider before you act upon the information resulting from AGQ Services. For most common diseases, the genes we know about are only responsible for a small fraction of the risk. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices that are far more important predictors. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, you should not feel that you are protected. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not mean you will definitively develop the disease or condition. In either case, if you have concerns or questions about what you learn through AGQ, you should contact your physician or other health care provider.

Testing research is not comprehensive. While we measure many hundreds of thousands of data points from your sample, only a small percentage of them are known to be related to human health conditions. The research community is rapidly learning more about genetics, and an important mission of AGQ 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 sample and results. In the future, the scientific community may show previous research to be incomplete or inaccurate.

Furthermore, Testing Information that you choose to share with your physician or other health care provider may become part of your medical record and through that route be accessible to other health care providers and/or insurance companies in the future. Testing Information that you share with family, friends or employers may be used against your interests. Even if you share Testing 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 Testing Information about health conditions and you do not disclose this to them, this may be considered to be fraud.

AGQ Services are for research, informational, and educational use only. We do not provide medical advice or scientific interpretation of the results or the meaning and implication of the results to you. The Genetic Information provided by AGQ is for research, informational, and educational use only. This means two things. First, many of the genetic 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 environmental knowledge in health care, we invite all users to participate in AGQ Research. Participation in such research is voluntary and based upon an approved consent document. As a result of the current state of environmental 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.

AGQ 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 Genetic 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. Reliance on any information provided by AGQ, AGQ employees, others appearing on our website at the invitation of AGQ, or other visitors to our website is solely at your own risk.

While we are licensed in California as a clinical laboratory, not all jurisdictions require our Services to be subject to license. Therefore, 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 required licenses.

6. User Representations

You agree to receive such updates (and permit AGQ to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Services.

You acknowledge that AGQ may offer different or additional technologies or features to collect Testing Information in the future and that your initial purchase of the Service does not entitle you to any different or additional technologies or features for collection or interpretation of your Testing Information without fee, and that you will have to pay additional fees in order to have your Testing Information collected and/or processed using any future or additional technologies or features.

18. Termination

The TOS will continue to apply until terminated by either you or AGQ as set out in this Section.

If you want to terminate your legal agreement with AGQ, you may do so by notifying AGQ at any time in writing, which will entail closing your accounts for all of the Services that you use. Your notice should be sent, in writing, to AGQ’s address, which is set out at the beginning of the TOS, or online via Customer Care. If you provide notice online, AGQ will send you an email asking you to confirm your request, and your notice will be effective following receipt of a second email confirmation from you.

AGQ may at any time, terminate its legal agreement with you (and in conjunction therewith, your password and account(s)) if: (1) you have breached any provision of the TOS (or have acted in manner which shows that you do not intend to, or are unable to comply with, the provisions of the TOS); (2) AGQ is required to do so by law (for example, where the provision of the Services to you is, or becomes, unlawful); (3) the partner with whom AGQ offered the Services to you has terminated its relationship with AGQ or ceased to offer the Services to you; (4) AGQ is transitioning to no longer providing the Services to users in the country or state in which you reside or from which you use the Services; or (5) the provision of the Services to you by AGQ is, in AGQ’s sole opinion, no longer commercially viable.

Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Services may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

CONSENT DOCUMENT

Introduction

We require that each person reads, acknowledges, and agrees to the terms in this Consent and Legal Agreement before his or her sample will be processed.

You are reading this because you have decided to use the AGQ service to help you access and understand your genetic information. We want you to understand the context of the genetic information you will access as well as potential consequences of knowing it. Once you obtain your genetic information, the knowledge is irrevocable.

While certain test results are associated with a higher incidence of certain diseases or health conditions in certain populations, accessing information through AGQ does not translate into a personal prediction. This is the case for several reasons. First, Testing Information is usually just one factor in whether a person develops a disease or other health-related traits. Other factors include environmental conditions and how your genetic profile responds to these external conditions (gene/environment interactions). Second, our current understanding of the genetics of any particular disease or condition may be incomplete. For example, we may know that a particular SNP in a gene is associated, by proxy, with a disease, but not that a yet-unidentified SNP in another gene is also associated with that disease. Even after identifying a second, third or even fourth gene associated with a genetically complex disease, it’s still unclear if these genes work in concert or are independent players. SNP associations also don’t necessarily identify the biologically relevant factors involved in a disease, but may simply be locational markers that flag a particular genetic involvement. Third, gene/disease associations are typically based on ethnicity, and studies are generally conducted in limited populations. That is, 1) they may provide understanding of a disease in a specific population, but not to any single member of the population, and 2) the associations may not have been studied in many world populations and may not apply in the same or similar ways across populations.

The genetic information provided by AGQ about potential health conditions should not be used to estimate your overall risk of future disease. The available genetic information could indicate higher risk and you might never get the disease. The available genetic information could indicate lower or average risk and you might already have or get the disease in the future. Furthermore, the AGQ Personal Genome Service is not a test or kit designed to diagnose disease or medical conditions, and it is not intended to be medical advice. If you have concerns or questions about what you learn through AGQ, you should contact your physician or other appropriate professional.

While we measure many hundreds of thousands of data points from your test sample, 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 genetics, and an important mission of AGQ is to conduct and contribute to this research. By obtaining AGQ’s services, you are agreeing to contribute your genetic information to our research efforts as described below. These efforts could translate into meaningful information about your genetics.

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 AGQ.

Risks

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 process may result in errors. A small, unknown fraction of the data generated during the laboratory process may be un-interpretable or incorrect.

You should not change your health behaviors on the basis of this information. For most common diseases, the genes we know about are only responsible for a small fraction of the risk. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors or lifestyle choices that are far more important predictors. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, you should not feel that you are protected. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not mean you will develop the disease or condition. In either case, if you have concerns or questions about what you learn through AGQ, you should contact your physician or other appropriate professional.

Genetic research is not comprehensive. 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 sample. In the future, the scientific community may show previous research to be incomplete or inaccurate.

Any data you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about sharing your genetic information with others. Currently, very few businesses or insurance companies request genetic information, but this could change in the future. Your legal protection against discrimination by employers and health insurance companies for employment and coverage issues has not been clearly established. Some, but not all, states and other jurisdictions have laws that protect individuals from this kind of conduct.

Testing information that you choose to share with your doctor may become part of your medical record and through that route be accessible to health care providers and insurance companies in the future. Testing 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. If you are asked by an insurance company whether you have learned genetic information about health conditions and you do not disclose this to them, this may be considered to be fraud.

Data Protection

Account Information: When you sign up for our service, AGQ will collect and store information about you. This information includes contact and payment information and is maintained separately from your genetic data and is not used in genetic research. Account information will be used to transact your purchase and may be used to improve our services and create new features. See our Privacy Statement for further details on data usage and protection.

Data: The laboratory processing your sample will analyze your sample to determine your Testing Information. The laboratory will not analyze your sample for any biological or chemical components, markers or agents other than glyphosate. The laboratory will not have access to your name or your other personal information. A unique bar code will allow AGQ to link data derived from your sample to your account. After analysis, your remaining samples will be destroyed.

Security: AGQ employs robust security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. Our security program includes regular audits of our security measures and systems. As with any security system, we cannot guarantee that our systems can never be breached.

Access: Except as described in this Consent and Legal Agreement, external parties will not be given any of your information without your consent, except as required to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws. Even if we are legally compelled to provide information, we will attempt to notify you before providing your information to external parties unless prohibited by law.

Account Deletion: You have the right to delete your information from our systems. Within thirty (30) days of receiving your written request, we will delete your account, and your information will not be included in any future research, including future research by other organizations. Any research conducted prior to the end of the thirty (30) day period following receipt of your request will not be altered or halted. Once your account is deleted it will not be retrievable. For purposes of clarity, any user-generated content you contribute will not be deleted and your genetic information associated only by barcode may be retained at the laboratory.

Research

AGQ Sponsored Research: We will analyze your voluntarily contributed information as part of our scientific research with the purpose of advancing the field of genetics and human health; your account information will never be associated with this research. We may also analyze your genetic and other contributed personal information for the purpose of reviewing, improving, and expanding our features and services. We may ask you questions and you may choose to give us information about yourself through surveys or other features on our website. Contributed personal information might include age, sex, geographic ancestry, attitudes and health conditions you have experienced. Providing such contributed personal information is entirely voluntary and is not required as part of your use of this Service.

Collaborative Research: AGQ may enter into partnerships with other investigators and organizations—non-profit and/or commercial—that conduct scientific research. Prior to embarking on any such projects, AGQ will establish a research advisory committee to guide such collaborations. AGQ may grant researchers associated with partner organizations access to aggregated data from our database of genetic and other contributed personal information for specific research queries. AGQ will only provide individual level data to external researchers upon individual consent from each customer. In addition, we will ensure that such research partners obtain clearance from institutional review boards, as appropriate, and agree to maintain confidentiality consistent with our privacy statement. Once information is shared with research partners, we cannot guarantee that it will be destroyed upon request.Publication: One of our goals is to advance knowledge in the field of human genetics. Therefore AGQ intends to publish robust results of scientific studies that we conduct or that are conducted with our research partners. AGQ will not include any element of your account information in scientific publications.
