TERMS FOR PURCHASED SERVICES

General Information about DNA COMPLETE’s Purchased Services

DNA Complete‘s purchased services are genetic sequencing, bioinformatics and state of the art genetic reporting services involving the purchase of a DNA collection kit to allow the user to collect a DNA sample, sequencing and analysis of the sample by DNA Complete or its affiliates as described in DNA Complete‘s genetic testing services FAQs, continued offering of similar or associated services, and state-of-the-art genetic reports that include ancestry information and non-diagnostic or treatment-related health information (“Purchased Services”).

By purchasing the Purchased Services, you are indicating your acceptance to be bound by these Terms. These Terms form a legal contract for the purchase of the Purchased Services and can only be amended with DNA Complete‘s written consent. Any purchases that you make are subject to these Terms.

A copy of these Terms will be provided to you when you receive confirmation of acceptance of your order as described below. You are advised to print a copy of these Terms for reference.

As a user of DNA Complete‘s Purchased Services, you understand and agree to the submission of a sample for DNA extraction, DNA sequencing, and storage of your sample and genetic data.

DNA COMPLETE PRODUCTS

As part of the Purchased Services, DNA Complete offers three Whole Genome Sequencing products. In order to obtain your Genome Sequencing data, you must choose one of the three below products (“DNA Complete Product”) . Purchasing the DNA Complete Product allows us to process your DNA sample and extract the DNA. The Memberships enable you to then process that extracted DNA sequencing data and obtain your genetic data. Except as discussed in these Terms, all DNA Complete Product purchases are final, but all Memberships can be cancelled at any time.

MEMBERSHIP FEES AND REFUNDS

We give our customers a choice of Three different Products, which are described above. We charge a fee that includes a Membership to enable our users to benefit from the almost daily new scientific studies that advance our understanding of human genetics. Your purchase of a Product will allow us to collect, process, and extract your DNA and genetic data, and the Membership allows you to continue to have that data used and re-processed on continuing basis to show you new results based on evolving understanding of the human genome. We offer a separate product, named DNA Expand, to customers that have raw genetic data from AncestryDNA, 23andMe and other genetic ancestry tests. DNA Expand is a membership that allows members to upload their raw ancestry data file into the DNA Complete Portal to access the DNA Complete proprietary reports and features (it can take up to 7 days for the reports to be generated). We do not provide a minimum guarantee for the number of reports and features you will be provided, as the frequency of these will depend on the quality of the member’s genetic data and the speed in which the science in this field develops for new reports.

A Membership is required to complete your order and receive your first genetic report, but it can be cancelled at any time. All Memberships offer the benefits that come with the Product you chose to purchase.

All of our prices include all sales and other value-added taxes but do not include delivery and other handling charges, which will be displayed to you prior to your purchase and added to the total amount due. Import taxes (if applicable) charged by national authorities on your DNA collection kit are your responsibility. For non-USA customers, the cost to ship your sample to DNA Complete is your responsibility.

Please see our Refund and Cancellation Policy for more information on your right to a refund.

By purchasing a Membership, you agree to these Terms and Privacy Policy and that you are over 18 and you will pay the one-time fee to cover the setup and membership. You also authorize DNA Complete to automatically continue your membership after the first year for an additional one year and charge the membership renewal fee to your payment method until you cancel. All Membership plans are subject to change, and DNA Complete will notify Members of changes as they occur in via updated terms and conditions. You must cancel at least 24 hours before your membership renews to avoid being billed for the next year. All purchases are final and non­refundable. No refunds are given for partial term cancellations. To cancel, go to your account and click “Cancel Membership”.

General Information Regarding DNA Complete’s Genetic Testing Services

DNA Complete‘s Services are based on current state-of-the-art genetic research and DNA sequencing technology. As the research progresses and available technology evolves, DNA Complete will continue to innovate to provide the best possible experience and information to its users. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that DNA Complete may update its technology, analysis, and reporting at its sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You also acknowledge that you may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to continue using the Services and Purchased Services, including accessing reports.

Details about DNA Complete’s processing of samples

Once your sample is received by DNA Complete, DNA extraction, sequencing, and data analysis are performed to provide ancestry, non-diagnostic trait reporting, and oral microbiome analysis. At its discretion, DNA Complete may use third-party companies to perform DNA extraction, sequencing, and data analysis. Your Product may be DNA Complete-branded even when such a third party will be doing DNA extraction, sequencing or data analysis. By returning a sample, you acknowledge and agree that DNA Complete may provide the sample to such third parties for DNA extraction, sequencing or data analysis. Any data shared with such third parties is described in our Privacy Policy and is shared for the limited purpose necessary to provide you the Services and Purchased Services.

DNA Complete or one of its third-party partners may store your sample and/or the extracted DNA after your sample has been processed. Having your sample stored allows your sample to be analyzed again when new and updated tests become available. DNA Complete will never process your sample without your explicit, specific consent. If you would like your sample permanently destroyed, you may contact us at [email protected] and request your sample to be destroyed. Destroying your sample is irreversible and will limit your access to tests offered in the future.

DNA Complete and its affiliates may not be able to process your sample if your sample does not contain a sufficient amount of DNA or is contaminated. If this occurs, DNA Complete will contact you to notify you and ask you to provide a new sample (in some instances, an invoice for the replacement product will be provided). In the rare case that we are also unable to process your second sample, we will contact you to request a third sample or offer a refund (less shipping and handling), provided that you do not submit any other sample to us after receiving a refund.

Your contract with us for Purchased Services

If you are placing an order through www.dnacomplete.com, the technical steps required to create a contract between you and DNA Complete are as follows:

• You place an order for Purchased Services on www.dnacomplete.com. You will be guided through the process of placing an order by the instructions on www.dnacomplete.com.
  
• Please take the time to read and check the details entered at each stage of the order process.
• After you place an order, you will receive an email from DNA Complete acknowledging that your order has been received. DNA Complete acknowledges your order when you receive an email that confirms that your Product has been dispatched.
• We will accept your order and the contract between you and DNA Complete will only be formed when you receive the confirmation of dispatch of the Product. The contract with us for the Purchased Services will continue in effect until you exercise your right to cancel or change your mind (if applicable in your territory). Your obligations under the contract will cease when the contract ends.

If we are unable to process your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the Purchased Services.
If you wish to make changes to the Purchased Services, you have ordered please contact us using the contact information below. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the Purchased Services, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract.

The purchase of Purchased Services is subject to availability. DNA Complete will inform you as soon as possible if the Purchased Service you have ordered is not available and DNA Complete will not process your order. If you have already paid for Purchased Services, you will be refunded in full if your order cannot be fulfilled. DNA Complete reserves the right to impose ordering restrictions on the number of Purchased Services that can be ordered and the interval at which these Purchased Services can be ordered.

Legal Rights

DNA Complete is required by law to ensure that Purchased Services ordered from DNA Complete comply with the Terms of DNA Complete’s contract with you. In particular, any Product that DNA Complete supplies to you must correspond with any relevant description included on the DNA Complete website, must be of satisfactory quality and must be fit for their intended purpose as described by DNA Complete.

Nothing in these Terms will affect your legal rights in your country of residence. If there is a conflict between these Terms and your legal rights in your country of residence, your legal rights will prevail.

Delivery

Please see our Refund and Cancellation Policy for information about delivery times.

You are responsible for the Products when they are delivered to you.

DNA Complete will deliver directly to the address specified in your order.

DNA Complete is not engaged in the practice of medicine, and information learned through DNA Complete’s Services and Purchased Services is not intended and should not be used for diagnostic or medical use.

Our Services and our Purchased Services are not intended to be interpreted by users for the purposes of making any decisions regarding parentage or diagnosis or treatment. The information you learn through our Services and Purchased Services does not constitute medical advice, and you should not change your health behaviors solely on the basis of the provided genetic information. The Services and Purchased 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.
BY USING DNA COMPLETE’S SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT USE ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DNA COMPLETE’S SERVICE OR PURCHASED SERVICES FOR DIAGNOSTIC OR HEALTH RELATED DECISION MAKING BEFORE SEEKING PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM A PHYSICIAN, GENETIC COUNSELOR, OR SIMILARLY QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL REGARDING ANY PARENTAGE OR HEALTHCARE DECISIONS BASED ON GENETIC TESTING RESULTS PROVIDED BY DNA COMPLETE.

Rather, DNA Complete’s Services and Purchased Services are for research, information, and educational use only. In short, many of the health-related information learned from the provided genetic sequencing results have not been clinically validated and the technology DNA Complete uses, although used in research, is not broadly used in healthcare settings. Clinical validity refers to how well a specific genetic variant is related to the presence, absence, or risk of a specific disease or condition.

DNA Complete encourages you to talk to a genetic counselor or a healthcare professional prior to submitting a sample collection kit or to aid you in understanding your results.

DNA Complete disclaims to the maximum extent permitted by law all liability for any loss or damage suffered by you or any person, be it directly or indirectly as a result of or in connection with your use of the Services and Purchased Services or any treatment or healthcare decisions that you make based on genetic testing results provided by DNA Complete. However, DNA Complete does not exclude or limit its liability for fraudulent representations, death or personal injury resulting from its negligence or to the extent it cannot limit its liability under applicable law.

Payment processing

DNA Complete accepts most major credit cards for payment. The accepted methods of payment are displayed on the DNA Complete website. PayPal can also be used as a payment method for certain Purchased Services.

Payment for your Product and all applicable delivery and handling charges is in advance of receiving your Product. You will be charged for the Product when your order of the Product is dispatched to you by DNA Complete. The Product will be owned by you when your payment has been processed in full.

Payment for your Membership will depend on the type of Membership you have chosen (see Membership table above).
You confirm that you own the credit card that is being used to make your purchase.

All credit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by DNA Complete. If DNA Complete believes that the card used to pay for your order is being used fraudulently, this will be reported to the relevant authorities and all orders cancelled. Two-factor authorization may be required to process some payments.
If your card issuer refuses to authorize payment for your order, DNA Complete will be unable to dispatch the Product to you and will not be responsible for any delay or non-delivery. DNA Complete will not be informed of the reason for refusal and therefore, is unable to inform you of the reason that your card issuer has refused payment.

DNA Complete is not responsible for any card or bank charges issued by your card issuer as a result of processing payment for your order, unless local law requires us to be responsible for such payments.

Your account will record that payment has been taken by DNA Complete, Inc.

Right to change your mind (UK and EU customers only)

Change your mind prior to dispatch

If you change your mind about your purchase and decide to cancel the contract prior to the Purchase being dispatched, you should notify DNA Complete immediately and reject any orders dispatched.

Change your mind after dispatch

If you decide that you do not wish to keep the Product that you ordered and only the delivery packaging of the Product has been opened, you are entitled to change your mind without giving any reason within fourteen (14) days from which you acquired, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquired, physical possession of the Products. Unopened Product must have their tamper seals intact. If the Product is opened or the tamper seal is not intact, you lose your right to change your mind.

If you change your mind in these circumstances, you must send the Product back to DNA Complete at your own cost within fourteen (14) days of notifying DNA Complete that you have changed your mind. DNA Complete will reimburse you all payments received from you for the Product once the Product has been returned. We will also reimburse the cost of standard delivery of the Product to you (if any) but will not be responsible for any delivery costs above the standard delivery cost. If you change your mind about the Product in these circumstances, we will refund any Membership fees you have already paid, or, if you have not yet paid for a Membership, we will not take any payments from you.

Timeframe

To meet the cancellation deadline of fourteen (14) days after your order has been delivered to you, it is sufficient for you to call DNA Complete customer services before the cancellation period has expired.

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of New York in the USA, without regard and to the exclusion of New York State’s conflict of laws rules. If applicable consumer laws in your country or residence do not allow these Terms to be governed by foreign law, then the law of your country of residence will apply and, to the extent the arbitration provisions below are not enforceable, you can also bring claims against us in the courts of the country you live in and, in such instance, we can also bring claims against you in the courts of the country you live in.

You and DNA Complete agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Services, as well as any questions of arbitrability, shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial Rules”) by a sole arbitrator. You can access the AAA Commercial Rules at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling +1 800-778-7879. You and DNA Complete shall endeavor to agree upon the arbitrator, and if you and DNA Complete fail to do so within twenty-one (21) days of the commencement of the Arbitration, the appointment shall be made by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The place, or legal seat of arbitration, shall be New York, and the language of the arbitration shall be English.

You may only bring claims in your individual capacity on your own behalf, and not in any representative capacity, or on behalf of any class or purported class, and no arbitration you commence hereunder may be joined with or include any claims by any other persons. Each party shall bear its own arbitration filing fees.

The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award and shall have the power to grant any interim or provisional measures that the arbitrator deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and specific performance, and any interim or provisional measures ordered by the arbitrator may be specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction as a final award. Each party hereto retains the right to seek interim measures from a judicial authority, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party, if any as determined by the arbitrator, its costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the parties, their counsel or the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by any party, unless required by law. Any documentary or other evidence given by any party or witness in any arbitration shall be treated as confidential by any party whose access to such evidence arises exclusively because of its participation in the arbitration and shall not be disclosed to any third party (other than a witness or expert), except as may be required by law. Any party who commences any judicial proceeding in connection with an arbitration initiated hereunder shall endeavor to have the judicial record of any such proceeding sealed or kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.

Any contract for the purchase of Purchased Services is between DNA Complete and you. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its Terms.

If permitted under applicable law, DNA Complete may transfer its rights and obligations under the contract to another organization. This will not affect your rights or DNA Complete‘s obligations under these Terms.

All other transfers of rights and obligations must be agreed with DNA Complete in writing prior to the transfer taking place.

Interpretation of these Terms

Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, that paragraph or part-paragraph shall, to the extent required, be deemed not to form part of the contract, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Delay in Enforcement

If DNA Complete fails to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms or is delayed in enforcing the Terms, this should not be interpreted as a waiver of the rights of DNA Complete under these Terms. You are still required to comply with these Terms irrespective of DNA Complete‘s enforcement or otherwise. A default by you will only be waived if it is in writing, signed by DNA Complete.

CHANGES AND ADDITIONAL TERMS
As we continue to diversify our Services, additional or separate terms (“Supplemental Terms”) may apply. These Supplemental Terms will either be listed in the Terms of Use, or be presented to you for acceptance when you sign up to use those Services. We reserve the right to modify these Terms or any additional terms at any time or to reflect any changes in the law or our Services, or for any other reasonable reason. The effective date of the most up to date Terms will be provided at the top of each version of these Terms, respectively. Any such updates will be effective upon our publishing such updated Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not use the Services. We may notify you of material changes by posting information through the Services or contacting you via email. DNA Complete may require you to provide consent to the updated Agreement in a specified manner before further use of the Services is permitted.
