4. Understanding GENEFIT SPORT Services
4.1. About GENEFIT SPORT science:
4.1.1. The GENEFIT SPORT Test focuses on gene variants in key metabolic pathways that have a high level of scientific evidence and are clinically relevant.
4.1.2. Genetic variation is a term used to describe the variation in the DNA sequence in each of our genomes. Genetic variation is what makes us all unique, whether our hair color, skin color or the shape of our faces.
4.1.3. We refer to a gene variant as having a specific “impact”. The impact refers to how much the gene variation affects the protein’s function as well as the metabolic process the protein is involved in.
4.1.4. The gene variants that are tested by GENEFIT SPORT are all considered “low penetrance” genes. This means that the gene by itself does not cause an illness or condition.
4.1.5. The GENEFIT SPORT Test is not meant as a diagnostic tool but is rather used as a preventative and screening tool to detect the root causes for the development of chronic conditions and can be used to implement more targeted treatment.
4.1.6. Nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics are based on personalized nutrition and lifestyle advice, which leads to a better chance of improving health rather than following general dietary advice.
4.2. We recommend that you understand the implications of getting your genetic results.
4.2.1. Knowing your genetic results is irreversible and therefore is a decision that should be taken seriously.
4.2.2. The information you receive may be disturbing or negative and may impact on your psyche, your family, as well as your social, economic, legal and financial surroundings.
4.2.3. It is recommended that you speak to a healthcare provider, trained in genetics, before embarking on a journey to discover your genetic results.
4.2.4. If you experience any anxiety, it is recommended that you seek advice from your physician before getting your genetic results.
4.3. We recommend that you understand the implications of sharing your genetic results.
4.3.1. We recommend that you discuss with a lawyer before sharing your genetic results, for example sharing them with an insurance company or employer. Federal laws, in particular the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, provide you with protection from discrimination by health insurance companies, group health plans, and most employers based on your genetic information.
4.3.2. It is possible that if you share your genetic information with a physician or healthcare provider, it may form part of your medical record which could be accessed in the future by, for example, physicians, healthcare providers, or insurance companies.
4.3.3. It is possible that any genetic information you choose to share, for example with family, friends or employers, may be used against you.
4.3.4. It is important to consider that the relevance or interpretation of your genetic information is subject to change.
4.4. We recommend that you understand what your genetic information means and does not mean for you.
4.4.1. Your genes only form a part of what makes you who you are.
4.4.2. If your genetic results show that you do not have a genetic predisposition for a certain disease or condition, that does not necessarily mean that you will not develop that disease or condition.
4.4.3. If your genetic results show that you have a genetic predisposition for a certain disease or condition, that does not mean that you will develop that disease or condition.
4.5. GENEFIT SPORT is not a healthcare provider.
4.5.1. We provide you with GENEFIT SPORT Services that are for information, research or educational purposes only.
4.5.2. We urge you to talk with your healthcare provider about how the GENEFIT SPORT Test is right for you. GENEFIT SPORT staff can speak to the contents of the report and process of using our test kit but cannot answer questions about why the test is right for you specifically.

4.5.5. We urge you to consult with your physician if you are currently taking medication and/or undergoing treatment or program for any condition or disease before using any GENEFIT SPORT Service.
4.5.6. We urge you to consult with your physician for any information on diagnosis, treatments, disease prevention, cures, medication, or anything else related to your health.
4.5.7. You acknowledge and agree that any information that you get from your GENEFIT SPORT Genetic Test and GENEFIT SPORT Blueprint, including a GENEFIT SPORT Consultation, should not be considered medical advice or medical services.
4.5.8. Any information provided by us should not form a substitute for a consultation or treatment by a physician.
4.5.9. Any information provided by us should not be used for diagnostic or treatment purposes for any medical condition.

4.5.14. You acknowledge and agree that GENEFIT SPORT is not liable for any information or advice provided to you by Your GENEFIT SPORT Practitioner.
4.6. Research into genetics is continually evolving.
4.6.1. With future advances in genetic research, any current state will only reflect a portion of the implications of genetics.
4.6.2. With future advances in genetic research, the interpretation of your genetic results is likely to change.
4.6.3. Any interpretations of your Genetic Information done in the past would need to be revised in accordance with any future advances in genetic research, at your own expense.
4.7. There may be limitations in the laboratory’s tests and the genes tested.
4.7.1. The genes tested in the GENEFIT SPORT Test only constitute a small percentage of your genes.

4.7.4. On occasion, certain DNA cannot be processed at the laboratory because the results do not meet the criteria to be considered an accurate result.
4.7.5. On occasion, data provided by the laboratory may not be able to be interpreted or may be incorrect. In this case, you will not be refunded.
4.7.6. GENEFIT Sport is not a laboratory nor does it perform laboratory testing services. All laboratory services are conducted by a Third-Party Supplier laboratory.
4.7.7. On occasion, the result for a certain gene cannot be provided because it does not meet the criteria to be considered an accurate result or the result cannot be obtained for a certain gene due to technical reasons.
4.7.8. Certain medical treatments, such as bone marrow transplants, stem cell donations, liver transplants can cause your cheek cell sample to contain DNA material belonging to the donor. This could lead to your DNA sample failing at the lab or yielding results belonging to the donor’s DNA.
