We are dedicated to supplying a secure, user-controlled atmosphere while using our Services. However, you share liability for privacy and security maintenance—for example, keeping your password secure.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Utilizing Omega Biomics's Services (not including any services provided by Omega Biomics under a separate contract) is subject to the terms of the legal contract between you and Omega Biomics set forth in these TOS. Except as specified herein, these TOS apply to any use of the Services, including but not limited to (a) submitting a sample for Microbiome Analysis and processing, (b) uploading a digital version of your Microbiome Information and interacting with it on the Omega Biomics website, and/or (c) creating and using a free Omega Biomics account without providing your sample or Microbiome Information. To use the Services, you first must agree to the TOS. You may not use the Services if you do not accept the TOS. You can accept the TOS by (1) clicking to accept or agree to the TOS, where this option is made available to you by Omega Biomics for any Service; or by (2) actually using the Services. In this case, you acknowledge and agree that Omega Biomics will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of the TOS from that point forward. Furthermore, while utilizing specific Omega Biomics Services, you shall be subject to any guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted intermittently. All such rules or guidelines are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. Omega Biomics also may offer other services intermittently that are governed by different TOS.

3. PREREQUISITES

a. Whether you submit your own sample, a sample for anyone for whom you have legal authority to agree, or otherwise provide your own Microbiome Information, you may not use the Services and may not accept the TOS if (1) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Omega Biomics, or (2) you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.

b. In addition to the conditions above, if you contribute or otherwise provide your own Microbiome Information, you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to agree to these TOS on behalf of yourself or those for whom you have legal authority to agree.

c. If your use of the Services includes creating a Omega Biomics account, without submitting a sample or otherwise providing Microbiome Information, you must be thirteen (13) years of age or older to use the Services and accept the TOS.

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICES

The Services include access to the Omega Biomics public website and personal services, including the collection and analysis of your sample. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each new feature that augments or enhances the current Service shall be subject to the TOS. You acknowledge and agree that the Services are provided "AS-IS" and are founded on the current state-of-the-art of Microbiome research and technology in use by Omega Biomics at the time of the purchase or viewing. As research advances and scientific knowledge and technology evolve, Omega Biomics is constantly innovating to deliver the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services that Omega Biomics provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. As part of this ongoing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Omega Biomics may discontinue (permanently or temporarily) providing some Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at Omega Biomics's sole discretion, without prior notification to you. You may discontinue using the Services at any time. You do not need to explicitly notify Omega Biomics when you discontinue the Services unless you are requesting closure of your account. Omega Biomics assumes no responsibility for the use of Services outside the terms of this TOS or other applicable terms.

To use the Services, you must attain Internet access, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees related  to such access. You are exclusively accountable for paying any and all such fees. In addition, you are solely responsible for providing all equipment necessary to make such Internet connection, including a computer and modem or other access device. You acknowledge and agree that while Omega Biomics may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through the Services or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any Service, such fixed upper limits may be set by Omega Biomics at any time, at Omega Biomics's discretion.

5. RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING OMEGA BIOMICS SERVICES

After obtaining your sample data, your awareness is irreversible. You should not assume that any information we may provide to you, whether now or as Microbiome research progresses, will be welcome or positive. You should also understand that as research progresses, for you to assess the meaning of your sample data in the context of such advances, you may need to seek additional services from Omega Biomics, your physician, or other healthcare provider.

You may learn information about yourself and your health that you do not expect. This information may induce strong emotions and potentially alter your life and worldview. You may learn things about yourself that distress you and you may not have the ability to control these outcomes. These results could have social, legal, or economic consequences.

You should not change your health behaviors based solely on the data provided by Omega Biomics. You should discuss your sample data with your physician or other healthcare provider before acting upon the sample data resulting from Omega Biomics Services. For most common diseases, the genes we know about are only responsible for a small fraction of the risk. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices that are far more important predictors. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated Microbiome risk for a particular disease or condition, you should not feel that you are protected. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not mean you will definitively develop the disease or condition. In either case, if you have concerns or questions about what you learn through Omega Biomics, you should contact your physician or other healthcare provider.

Microbiome research is not yet comprehensive. We will measure hundreds of thousands of data points from your microbiome; however, only a small percentage of them are known to be related to human traits or health conditions. The research community is quickly discovering further information about the microbiome, and an important mission of Omega Biomics is to conduct and contribute to this research. In addition, many ethnic groups are not involved in Microbiome research. Because analyses provided in our service depend on these published studies, some interpretations may not apply to you. Future scientific research may change the interpretation of your microbiome. In the future, the scientific community may show previous research to be incomplete or inaccurate.

Microbiome Information you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be cautious if sharing your Microbiome Information with others. Few businesses or insurance companies currently request microbiome information, but this could change in the future. You may wish to consult a lawyer to comprehend the degree of legal protection of your Microbiome Information before sharing it with anyone.

Additionally, Microbiome Information that you choose to share with your physician or other healthcare provider may become part of your medical record and in the future be available to other healthcare providers and/or insurance companies. Microbiome Information that you share with family, friends, or employers may be used against your interests. Even if you share Microbiome Information that currently has limited or no significance, that information could have greater significance in the future as new discoveries arise. If you are asked by an insurance company whether you have learned Microbiome Information about health conditions and you do not disclose this to them, this could be considered as fraud.

Omega Biomics services are for research, informational, and educational use only. We do not provide medical advice. The Microbiome Information provided by Omega Biomics is for research, informational, and educational use only. This means many of the discoveries that we report have not been clinically validated, and the technology we use, which is the same technology used throughout the research community, to date has not been widely used for clinical testing. In additions, to develop and accelerate the understanding and practical application of Microbiome knowledge in healthcare, we invite all genotyped users to participate in Omega Biomics Research. Because of the present state of Microbiome knowledge and understanding, our Services are for research, informational, and educational purposes only. The 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 continually seek the advice of your physician or other healthcare provider with any questions regarding diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or other medical condition, impairment, or the status of your health.

Omega Biomics does not endorse or recommend any specific course of action, resources, tests, physician or other health care providers, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on our website. As explained on our website, Omega Biomics believes that (a) Microbiomes is only part of the bigger picture of any individual's state of being, (b) the state of the understanding of Microbiome Information is rapidly evolving and at any given time we only comprehend part of the picture of the role of Microbiomes, and (c) only a trained physician or other health care provider can assess your current state of health or disease, taking into account many factors, including in some cases your Microbiomes as well as your current symptoms, if any. Dependence on any data provided by Omega Biomics, Omega Biomics employees, others appearing on our website at the invitation of Omega Biomics, or other visitors to our website is solely at your own risk.

Samples gathered from your microbiome may contain human material, but are not tested or processed to detect or analyze human material, and are treated accordingly.

The laboratory may be unable to process your sample, and the laboratory process may result in inaccuracies. The laboratory may not be able to process your sample if your sample does not contain a sufficient material, or the results from processing do not meet our standards for accuracy. If the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, Omega Biomics will reprocess the same sample at no charge to the user. Even for processing that meets our high standards, a small, unknown fraction of the data generated during the laboratory process may be un-interpretable or incorrect (referred to as "Errors"). As this possibility is known in advance, users are not entitled to refunds where these Errors occur.

a. Entire Agreement. The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and Omega Biomics and govern your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Omega Biomics on this subject. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software.

Except for any disputes relating to intellectual property rights, obligations, or any infringement claims, any disputes with Omega Biomics arising out of or relating to the Agreement ("Disputes") shall be governed by California law regardless of your country of origin or where you access Omega Biomics, and notwithstanding of any conflicts of law principles and the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods. Any Disputes shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the rules and auspices of the American Arbitration Association, to be held in San Francisco, California, in English, with a written decision stating legal reasoning issued by the arbitrator(s) at either party's request, and with arbitration costs and reasonable documented attorneys' costs of both parties to be borne by the party that ultimately loses. Either party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction.

c. Waiver. The failure of Omega Biomics to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
