Terms and Conditions for hei
1. These terms
1.1 What these terms cover. These are the terms and conditions in which we
supply our hei program (“Program”) to you, which is comprised of sample testing
services, health recommendations and various features on our website and mobile
application.
1.2 Why you should read these Terms. Please read these terms carefully before
you submit your order to us. These terms tell you who we are, how we will
provide the Program to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what
to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that
there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us at hei@imagenelabs.com.
1.3 Please pay particular attention to the following clauses: 2.2 (which states
that the Program is not for medical purposes); 3 (important information
regarding the nature of our tests and their results), 5 (our Disclaimer), 7.2
(which provides for auto-renewal of your subscription), and 18.1 (which limits
our liability to you).
2. hei
2.1 What is hei? hei is a wellness program that is tailored to your lifestyle,
biology, and environment.
2.2 hei is not a medical program. It is not used for medical purposes. It
cannot be used to prevent, diagnose, monitor, treat or compensate for any
disease, illness, or medical condition. Nor can it be used to control
conception, or investigate, replace, or modify anatomy or any physiological
process.
2.3 As part of the Program, you will collect saliva, swab and microbiome
samples that will be provided to and tested by our partner laboratories and
tested for indicators (including genetic indicators) of aspects of your health
and well-being. This will only be processed if you provide your consent under a
consent document we provide.
2.4 We will then profile your sample test results using our well-being experts
and proprietary technology, to provide you with personalised lifestyle
recommendations including diet, exercise, skincare, and sleep.
2.5 You confirm that you are above the age of consent in the jurisdiction you
reside in.
3. Biomarker Data
3.1 The test samples you send to our partner laboratories will be analysed to
produce data related to your genotype and other biomarkers (“Biomarker Data”).
We will share with you representations of findings from these data in the hei
applications and website.
3.2 Biomarker Data, like any genetic or other biomarker-based test results, has
limitations. For example:
(a) We measure many points of information derived from your samples, but only a
small percentage of them relate to human traits that is of interest to us;
(b) many ethnic and gender groups differ or are not included at all in many
genetic and scientific studies, therefore some of the interpretations that we
provide may not apply to you.
3.3 Further development in the future from genetic and scientific research may
change how your Biomarker Data is interpreted by us and our partner labs. If
your Biomarker Data tells you that you do not have an elevated risk for a
particular condition, you should not assume that you are entirely protected
from this condition. Similarly, if your Biomarker Data tells you that you are
at higher risk for a particular condition, it does not mean that you will
develop this condition. If you have concerns or questions regarding this, you
should consult your doctor.
3.4 The limits referred to in clauses 3.2 and 3.3 mean that Biomarker Data do
not give a complete or enduring picture of your heath or well-being. It is only
one aspect of your entire health and well-being outlook and should not be
assumed to be the determinant of any particular course of action. Environmental
factors and lifestyle choices should also be significant indicators when
considering any course of action.
4. Risks of the program
4.1 Before you embark on the Program, you need to be certain that it is right
for you. Your test results, including genetic and other Biomarker Data, may be
a surprise to you or not what you may have expected. This may be unwelcome and
troubling, and there may be no practical way for you to take action to change such
findings and results.
4.2 Your samples might not produce any meaningful results, for example, our
partner laboratories may obtain an insufficient sample that prevents them from
processing your sample and producing results, or there might be a risk of human
error resulting in a mistake in providing the results. Some samples collected
and processed may not be able to be interpreted accurately or correctly. If these
happen, we will contact you to obtain new samples.
4.3 Any Biomarker Data that you share with other individual, or entity can be
used against your best interests. Therefore, you should be extremely cautious
when sharing your Biomarker Data. If you have any doubts, please seek legal
advice.
4.4 Any Biomarker Data that you choose to share with your doctor can become
part of your medical records and can potentially be accessed by other
individual or entity including health care providers or insurance companies.
4.5 Disclosing your Biomarker Data to others, especially employers or insurers,
can be used against your interests either at the time of disclosure or in the
future.
