Terms of Use

Welcome and thank you for your interest in DNAFeed Inc. ("DNAvisit," "we," or "us"). DNAvisit facilitates an individual to upload genetic information data ("Data") and displays research and other information that’s relevant to the data that was uploaded (“information”). DNAvisit also can facilitate your interaction with healthcare professionals. Your use of the site and any information provided through DNAvisit (collectively, the "Service") are governed by following these terms and conditions.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE OR BY OTHERWISE INDICATING YOUR CONSENT TO THESE TERMS OF USE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY (COLLECTIVELY, THESE "TERMS"). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE OR DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us: (i) that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age; and (ii) that your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

2. Additional Terms

Your use of the Service is subject to any and all additional terms, policies, rules or guidelines applicable to the Service that we may post on or provide a link to on the Service, such as the DNAvisit Privacy Policy. All such additional terms are hereby incorporated by reference into, and made a part of, these Terms.

3. Genetic Counseling

DNAvisit provides genetic counseling and consulting services, consistent with a genetic counselor’s scope of practice as defined by the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) and the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC).

1. No content on the site, and no discussion by way of phone, videoconferencing, electronic communication, or any other manner is intended for medical diagnosis or treatment, nor should any information provided through genetic counseling services be taken as a reason to disregard any previously given medical diagnoses or medical advice.
2. The information provided by genetic counselors and pharmacists is not intended to replace the medical advice and recommendations of your existing healthcare team who is responsible for your overall care. If you have non-genetic concerns about a current health condition, you should consult your local healthcare provider.
3. The clinician will provide an evaluation and recommendations based on your unique medical history and genetic test results based on the clinical testing and knowledge available at the time of the consultation. Genetic testing is evolving rapidly and the significance of certain genetic changes on your health or family’s health may not be known at the time of your evaluation. Management guidelines for genetic conditions can also change based on new information. It is important for you to contact your healthcare provider if there are changes in your medical or family history that would warrant further genetic consultation.
4. You should share complete and accurate medical history and details regarding any conditions you may have or may be aware of in your family. You will also need to provide access to your medical records and any genetic test results. The recommendations from your genetic consultation will depend on the accuracy of your family history. Issues of non-paternity (for example, named father is not the biological father) will affect the evaluation of your family history. We may request that you obtain genetic test results or medical records from a family member.
5. It is recommended that you speak with your physician or other qualified healthcare provider before acting upon any information that you may receive or see.
6. DNAvisit is the provider of certain administrative services to DNAvisit clinicians and healthcare professionals, but does not provide professional medical services.

4. Provider Referrals

By submitting this referral on behalf of a patient, the provider attests to having an established physician-patient relationship with the said patient, possessing the necessary consents, and having informed the patient of what to expect from genetic counseling support and clinicians.

5. Accounts and Activation

To get information about your data, you must create an account and upload your genetic data. During the account creation process, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself (such as your email address or other contact information). You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date. When you create your account, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should promptly change your login information and notify us at support@dnavisit.com.

6. Payment

1. You may be required to pay a fee to receive Services. All fees are in U.S. Dollars. We may be unable to process a refund once you have placed an order. If you pay with a credit card, DNAvisit may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover the fees.
2. DNAvisit does not currently submit or process insurance paperwork or claims on behalf of its clients and does not guarantee that the fees we charge for our Services will be reimbursed by your insurance provider. If you desire to file a claim with your insurance to pay the fees, you must contact your insurer directly. Obtaining any reimbursement of the fees will be your sole responsibility. In the event you are able to submit a claim to your insurer, you authorize DNAvisit to release whatever information is necessary for your insurer to process the claim.

7. Ownership; Proprietary Rights

The Service is owned and operated by DNAvisit. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), bioinformatics pipeline, and all other elements of the Service ("Materials") provided by DNAvisit are protected by all relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights and applicable laws.

8. Indemnity

You agree that you will be responsible for your use of the Service, and you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless DNAvisit and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents (collectively, the "DNAvisit Entities") from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your access to, use of, or alleged use of the Service, or (ii) your violation of these Terms or any representation, warranty or agreements referenced herein, or any applicable law or regulation. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (and without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to such matter), and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

9. Disclaimers; No Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ON AN "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE DNAvisit ENTITIES SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE DNAvisit ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ALL DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE. SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY PROHIBIT A DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

10. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

IN NO EVENT WILL THE DNAvisit ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT THE DNAvisit ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. YOU AGREE THAT THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE DNAvisit ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE (INCLUDING ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE), OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (i) THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (ii) $50 USD. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Limitation of Liability

1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and DNAvisit in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and DNAvisit agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Diego, CA. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse DNAvisit for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND DNAvisit ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 10.1, DNAvisit and you agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
3. No Class Actions. YOU AND DNAvisit AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and DNAvisit agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
4. Modifications. In the event that DNAvisit makes any future change to this arbitration provision, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change in which case your account with DNAvisit shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
5. Enforceability. If the entirety of this Section 10 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 10 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 12 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

12. Modification of the Terms

DNAvisit reserves the right to update or modify the Terms at any time without prior notice, and such changes will be effective immediately upon being posted through the Service, except as set forth below. These Terms will identify the date of last update. Your use of the Service following any such change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the modified Terms of Use. In the case of material changes to the Terms, DNAvisit will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the change, such as through sending an email to any address you may have used to register for an account, through a pop-up window on the Service, or other similar mechanism. Material changes to these Terms will be effective upon the earlier of: (i) your first use of the Service with actual notice of such change, or (ii) thirty (30) days from posting of such change. Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms in place at the time the dispute arose. We encourage you to review these Terms frequently to stay informed of the latest modifications. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no modification to the terms of our agreement to arbitrate disputes will be effective without your express consent, provided that if we propose a change to the terms of our agreement to arbitrate and you do not consent to the change, you must terminate your use of the Service.

13. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and DNAvisit regarding your use of and access to the Service, and except as expressly permitted above may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to these Terms. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and DNAvisit agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Diego, California for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms or any provision of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision that by its nature or express terms should survive will survive such termination or expiration, including Sections 6 through 10 and 12.
