IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS, USE OR DOWNLOAD MATERIALS FROM THIS WEBSITE.
Eligibility
The DNA Based Health Reports and GeneFood Services are currently only available in the US & Canada.
The Website is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. By using the Website, you represent that you meet the eligibility requirements in this Section and affirm that you are over the age of 18.
Use of the Services is void where prohibited. Persons under 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services. Providing false information to create an account is always a violation of this Agreement. This includes accounts registered on the behalf of children under the Minimum Age by older parties. If your underage child (child under the Minimum Age) has created an account on GeneFood, please send an email to us via our Website Contact Form and we will delete the account. If you would like to report an account registered for an underage child to us, please email the details to us via our Website Contact Form. We will promptly delete the account of any child under the Minimum Age that is reported to us.
Minors
Except with respect to DNA Services (see in the “Eligibility” Sub-Section under the Section “DNA Services” above), if you are under the age of 18, you can use the Service only by first obtaining the consent of your parent or guardian for the use of the Service (“Consent”). Minors must not use the Service without Consent until they reach the age of 18.
A mandatory parent/guardian consent form will be required when a minor signs up or logs in or if a parent/guardian seeks the Services for a minor. In the consent form, a parent or guardian is required to enter their full name and email address and to check boxes that declare that they are a parent or guardian of the minor, accept this Agreement and the privacy policy of the Service, and take responsibility for the use of the Service by or on behalf of the minor.

For this reason, we encourage you to review these terms and conditions every time you use this Website.
DNA Health Reports
You agree and understand that the Diet Type and DNA Health Reports offered by the Company are for informational purposes only, are not medical advice and are not intended to create a patient-healthcare relationship between GeneFood and you. The Company’s Nutrition Consulting services cannot treat or diagnose any illness and should not be considered a substitute for visits to a doctor or other qualified healthcare provider. By signing up for a Nutrition Plan, you acknowledge that you are under the care of a physician and any nutritional information from Company will also be discussed with your physician before implementing. The use of the information provided as part of the Services is solely at your own risk.
The DNA Health Reports provide genetic risk information based on assessment of specific genetic variants but do not report on your entire genetic profile. The DNA Health Reports do not detect all genetic variants related to a given disease or trait, and the absence of a variant tested does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may be related to the disease or trait.
In addition, for most diseases and traits, the genes we know about are only responsible for a portion of the overall risk. Other factors such as environment and lifestyle may affect the risk of developing a given disease or trait and, depending on the condition, may be more important predictors. If your data indicate that you are not at elevated genetic risk for a disease or condition, you should not feel safe. The opposite is also true; if your data indicate you are at an elevated genetic risk for a disease or condition, it does not mean you will definitively develop such disease or condition. Any findings within the Diet Type and DNA Health Reports should be confirmed and supplemented by additional medical and clinical testing and information.
GeneFood Diet Types and DNA Health Reports generated through our website are not a substitute for allergy testing and should not be considered in allergy diagnosis, evaluation or testing.
Third Party DNA Services – Lab Partners
GeneFood offers DNA test kits for evaluation of DNA as a service to its customers (“Third Party DNA Test Kits”). Test kits offered by Gene Food are not manufactured by GeneFood but are obtained from our authorized partners and are not cleared or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA does not require such tests to go through premarket FDA review. Gene Food only works with partners who are CLIA-certified labs.
If you buy a test kit from GeneFood you specifically agree that your DNA will be genotyped by one of our partner companies. The third-party lab will send GeneFood your raw DNA data which will be analyzed by the proprietary GeneFood algorithm for the purposes of provided a personalized nutrition regimen designed to tailor diet, lifestyle and exercise recommendations to genetic predispositions GeneFood has identified through scientific research processes. GeneFood will only use those portions of the DNA in your genome which GeneFood finds useful in its scoring system. Use of Third-Party DNA Kits is at your own risk.
DNA Services
This Section applies to the Services, including, among others, the ordering of a Third Party DNA Test kit for purposes of providing raw DNA data to GeneFood, submission of DNA samples to our authorized partners, the upload of raw DNA data to our site, the outputs of the genetic analysis of the raw DNA Data which include proprietary GeneFood nutrigenomic diet analysis and lifestyle recommendations, along with genetic health analysis of the DNA Results which may include genetic predispositions, risk factors, sleep chronotypes and exercise tips (collectively, the “Services” also referred to as “DNA Based Health Reports”) and your rights, obligations and restrictions regarding your use of the Services. Please note that in order to use the Services, you will need to register on the Website. Your use of the Services is subject to this Agreement and the GeneFood Privacy Policy.
By submitting your DNA samples to GeneFood partners, you give permission to GeneFood partners to directly or indirectly extract the DNA from the samples, perform genetic analysis on the DNA using methods available now and developed in the future, to disclose the results of the tests performed by way of providing the respective Raw DNA Reports to GeneFood to allow you to download the DNA Health Results, in each and every case subject to and in accordance with this Agreement and with the Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge that in the event that you download your DNA Health Results: 1) such download will create a copy that is not protected by GeneFood’s security and privacy settings; 2) such download and the storage of your DNA Results after you have downloaded it, shall all be made at your own risk; and 3) GeneFood will not have any control over the downloaded DNA Results and shall not be liable to you or to any third party in connection with such download and/or storage.
We do not claim any ownership rights in the DNA samples provided to third parties for purposes of extracting raw DNA and submitting to GeneFood for processing. The raw DNA Results and/or the genetic genealogy and genetic health information in the DNA Reports provided to us. Any genetic health information derived from the DNA samples, the DNA Results and/or appears in the DNA Reports continues to belong to the person from whom the DNA was collected, subject only to the rights granted to GeneFood in this Agreement. In addition, you understand that by providing DNA samples to third parties and/or DNA Results to us, you acquire no rights in any research or commercial products that may be developed by us that may relate to your DNA.
You can, at any time, delete your Raw DNA Results and DNA Health Reports from the Website by requesting that your account be removed via our Website Contact Form.
By submitting DNA samples to our third party partners for processing and/or Raw DNA Results to the Website, you grant us a royalty-free, world-wide license to use your DNA samples, the DNA Results and the resulting DNA Reports, and, solely for purposes of the DNA Health Services, any DNA samples and/or DNA Results you submit for any person from whom you obtained legal authorization as described in this Section and the resulting DNA Health Reports, to the minimum extent necessary to allow us to provide the Service to you. The license you grant to us is not perpetual, and it is revocable as you are able at any time to delete your DNA Health Results and Raw DNA Reports permanently from the Website and to direct our third-party partners destroy your DNA samples. You hereby release us from any and all claims, liens, demands, actions or suits in connection with the DNA testing, DNA samples, DNA Results and/or DNA Health Reports, including, without limitation, errors, omissions, claims for defamation, invasion of privacy, right of publicity, emotional distress or economic loss. This section continues even if you stop using the Website or the DNA Services.
You confirm that the submission of a DNA sample by you is not subject to any export ban or restriction in the state in which you reside. You also agree that you have the authority, under the laws of the state or jurisdiction in which you reside, to provide the representations in this Agreement and you explicitly waive any laws or regulations relating to DNA samples, DNA Results and/or DNA Reports and their storage from the state or jurisdiction in which you reside. You agree that the DNA samples will be stored according to our third-party partners’ specifications and are not within the control of GeneFood.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject, block, refuse to post, or remove any Raw DNA Reports and/or DNA Health Results submitted by you or provided by us following processing of your DNA sample, or to restrict, suspend, or terminate this Agreement or your access to all or any part of the DNA Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability, except that we will refund you in case you have purchased a GeneFood DNA kit from us and we have exercised this right.
DNA Samples and DNA Results; DNA Reports
You are solely responsible for the DNA sample(s) you send to GeneFood partners, for the raw DNA uploaded to the GeneFood website and for any material or information that you transmit to us, our members and for any interactions with other users. GeneFood does not control or endorse any actions resulting from your participation in the DNA Health Services and, therefore, GeneFood specifically disclaims any liability with regard to any actions resulting from your participation in the Services. We make no warranties, express or implied, as to the underlying Raw DNA Results and DNA Health Reports or to the accuracy, reliability, comprehensiveness, completeness, quality, currency, error-free nature, compatibility, security or fitness for purpose of the Website or the DNA Services or the DNA Health Reports.
By using the DNA Services, you acknowledge that you may learn information you do not anticipate from the DNA Health Reports, which may evoke strong emotions and has the potential to alter your life and worldview. You may discover things about yourself that trouble you and that you may not have the ability to control or change (e.g., that you have a higher-than-average risk of developing an incurable condition like heart disease or Alzheimer’s disease). Once you obtain this information, the knowledge is irrevocable. You should not assume that any information we may be able to provide to you, whether now or as genetic research advances, will be welcome or positive. These outcomes could have social, legal, or economic implications.
You further acknowledge that your use of the DNA Services and receipt of the resulting DNA Health Reports may have serious implications not only for you, but also for your immediate or other family members, since they share some of your DNA. If you are in any way concerned about any such potential implications, DO NOT USE the DNA Services.
Genetic information you share with others could be used against your interests and therefore you should be careful about sharing it with others. Even if you share genetic information (such as the DNA Results and/or DNA Health Reports) that have no meaning or limited meaning today, that information could have greater meaning in the future as new discoveries are made. In the future, businesses or insurance companies may request such information from you. The Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act (GINA) was signed into law in the United States in 2008, and some, but not all, states and countries have laws that protect individuals regarding their genetic information. You may want to consult a lawyer to understand the extent of legal protection of your genetic information before you share it with anybody.
If you export your GeneFood DNA Health data and upload it to a third-party service, for health analysis, some genetic information not reported to you on GeneFood that GeneFood has not validated may be exposed, and GeneFood does not take responsibility for such information as the DNA data for some variants may be miscalled. Exporting DNA data from GeneFood and subsequently uploading it to a third-party service is solely at your own risk. In the same way, raw DNA data that is uploaded to GeneFood from other sites may have miscalled or misidentified information that will change the DNA Health Plans. This is why GeneFood uses raw data. However, there can be irregularities in the manner in which raw data is generated. GeneFood does not take responsibility for these errors.
Health Intelligence Subscriptions
GeneFood offers a “Health Intelligence” premium subscription plan billed at $99 annually. The Health Intelligence annual subscription is billed automatically and auto-renews.

Prices and terms for subscriptions may change at any time, but we will give you reasonable notice of any change in price or terms before they go into effect.
