Your use of the Services is also subject to any applicable terms, policies or rules that we may post or provide links to. This currently includes the Prenetics Privacy Policy, Consent Documents, Delivery Policy and Order Cancellation and Refund Policy. All such applicable terms, policies and rules are considered part of these TOS.
To use Prenetics’s Services, you must first agree to the TOS. You cannot use the Services if you do not accept the TOS. The TOS can be accepted by:
Direct-to-consumer Users who provide a Biological Sample, Genetic Information or Biomarker Information must be (a) at least 18 years of age regardless of permission from parents or guardians, and (b) lawfully able to use the Service under the laws where you reside.
The Services include access to Our Site and its personal DNA and blood testing services, which include the collection, extraction, and analysis of your Genetic or Biomarker Information, based on a Biological Sample or the electronic transmission of your Genetic or Biomarker Information from other sources at your direction. Unless stated, each new feature that is added to the current Services will be subject to the TOS. You accept and agree that the Services are provided “as is” at that point in time and are based on the current state of genetic research and technology used by Prenetics when using the Services.
Scientific research is always changing, and genetic technology is always evolving; therefore, Prenetics is always innovating to provide the best information to its Users. You agree that the Services might change from time to time without any prior notice. As part of this continuing evolution of science, you accept and agree that Prenetics might stop (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or features within the Services) to its Users without prior notice.
You can stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to inform Prenetics when you stop using the Services unless you request us to delete your Personal Information. By asking us to delete your data, we will close your account and terminate access to your online account. If account closure is initiated by us for any reason, then we will provide 30 (thirty) calendar days’ notice to you and may suspend access to your online account. During this time, we will continue to accept Information access requests until the closure date as notified to you. Prenetics does not have any responsibility for the use of the Services outside the TOS terms or any other terms that apply.
To make use of the Services, you must have Internet access, directly or through devices that have access to web content, and you must pay any outside service fees associated with this access. You must also provide all the equipment necessary to connect to the Internet, which includes a computer and a modem or another access device. You agree that while Prenetics does not have a set upper limit on the number of transmissions you send or receive through the Services, or the amount of storage space used for providing any Service, this fixed upper limit may be set by Prenetics at any time at its sole discretion.
For users outside the UK, when entering Our Site you may be directed to our international Prenetics or partner website. If you are not automatically redirected, you may click on the country at the top of the website and you will find a list of countries where the Prenetics service is available. The relevant services within that country will be offered and by using those services, you will agree to any alternative or additional terms and policies that may apply.
Samples must be returned to us within 6 months from the original order date. Samples received after this time will not be processed.
Blood Samples must be returned within 5 days of the test being performed otherwise the results may not be accurate due to the deterioration of the sample quality. Important note: please follow the instructions within the kit carefully as samples may not be analysed if (a) the test has clearly not been performed as per the instructions, (b) the sample has not been packaged for return as directed, (c) they are not sent directly to the nominated lab using the freepost envelope provided. Any samples received anywhere other than the lab will be securely disposed of. Under any of these circumstances you will be charged for a replacement kit.
For kits that require online activation, samples received at the returns centre without activation will be held for a maximum of 3 months before being securely destroyed. It is therefore important that instructions within the kit are followed carefully to avoid results being delayed. Under these circumstances, refunds will not be issued for destroyed samples after the 3-month retention period but will offer a free retest.
