DNA Testing
6.1 Part of the service may include a Genetic Test that is carried out by FITNESSGENES LTD these are their Terms and conditions.
6.2 You may learn information about yourself that you did not foresee.
6.3 There is a possibility that, due to the heritable nature of genetic information, sensitive information may be revealed by your DNA results that could have implications in terms of inferring paternity/ maternity (for example, where multiple family DNA results are known, your DNA results would suggest you are not genetically related to your father and/or mother) or other features of your personal genealogy. In addition, your DNA results may reveal you have a higher than average chance of developing a particular condition or disease (e.g. Type 2 diabetes). Such information is likely to be distressing, evoke strong emotions and is obviously irrevocable.
6.4 For clarity, the products and services offered by LVLHealth are not intended for use in paternity or maternity testing and we would advise that anyone with serious concerns of this nature should first speak with their physician or health care provider and, if appropriate, undergo formal paternity/ maternity testing with a laboratory accredited for this purpose.
6.5 Genetic research is not comprehensive.
6.6 The research community is continually learning more about genetics and publishing updates to existing knowledge in scientific journals. Our interpretation of your genetic data is reliant on these published studies, and, as a result, 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. All genetic information provided by LVLHealth is based on the latest research at the time of publication and is correct to the best of our knowledge.
6.7 The laboratory may not be able to process your sample.
6.8 The laboratory may not be able to process your sample if your sample does not contain a sufficient amount of DNA, if the sample has been contaminated in any way, or if the results from processing do not meet our standards for accuracy. In the event the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, LVLHealth will offer to send another kit to collect a second sample at no charge. If this second attempt at DNA collection is unsuccessful, LVLHealth reserves the right to cancel the Agreement in these circumstances and refund in full. This represents the limitation of our liability.
6.9 The laboratory process may result in errors.
6.10 We make every effort to ensure our data is as accurate as possible. However, even for processing that meets our high standards, due to the nature of the laboratory techniques used, a small, unknown fraction of the data generated during the laboratory process may be un-interpretable or incorrect. If you are concerned that your DNA results are in any way inaccurate, we will agree to re-analyse your DNA sample up to 28 days from the date you receive your DNA results to verify the information we have provided you. We reserve the right to charge a fee in these circumstances, which will be refunded to you if significant error is detected in our genotyping process.
6.11 Genetic Data you share with others could have social, legal or economic implications.
6.12 Use of genetic test results by employers in pre-employment medical checks is restricted in the UK by the Equality Act 2010, and in the US by the 2008 Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which makes genetic discrimination illegal and addresses discrimination in health insurance and employment practices. However, as of yet, this protection does not explicitly cover life or disability insurance providers as these products are considered as more discretionary than health insurance. If you are asked by an insurance company whether you have knowledge of Genetic Data concerning health conditions and you do not disclose your DNA results to them, this may be considered fraud.
6.13 Currently, very few businesses or insurance companies request genetic information, but it is possible that changes in legislation for businesses requesting this information could change in the future. As a result, you may want to consult a lawyer in order to understand the full implications of sharing your Genetic Data with others. We recommend you are cautious about sharing your Genetic Data with others, as ultimately the outcome could have significant social, legal, or economic implications for you as an individual.
