ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Your use of Maverick Services is subject to the terms defined in these TOS. These TOS apply to any use of Maverick Services, including:

Submitting a Biological Sample for Genetic or Biomarker Information extraction and analysis.
Providing a digital version of your Genetic or Biomarker Information and interpreting the analysed data and information on Our Site; and/or
Registering and using a free Maverick account to enable access to your Services.

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 Maverick 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 Maverick’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:

accepting or agreeing to the TOS (this option is available through Maverick for any Service);
acknowledgment of the Consent Document; and/or
continuous use of the Services. In this case, you accept and agree that Maverick will treat your continued use of the Services as implied acceptance of the TOS from that point onward. Some of the Services (both existing and new) may be subject to additional terms and/or conditions. When you first use these services, we will bring this to your attention. The terms for such services are subject to revision or change, like the rest of the TOS. When any such changes are made, we will provide notice as described in the TOS.

PREREQUISITES

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

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 Maverick when using the Services.

Scientific research is always changing, and genetic technology is always evolving; therefore, Maverick 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 Maverick 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 Maverick 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. Maverick 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 Maverick 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 Maverick at any time at its sole discretion.

For users outside the USA, when entering Our Site you may be directed to our international Maverick 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 Maverick 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.

RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Limitations of Genetic Information – Genetic Information is subject to significant limitations, and you rely on information provided by Maverick, Maverick’s employees, and others appearing on Our Site at your own risk.
We receive from your Maverick test, only a small selection of genetic variants specifically associated with wellness traits. The scientific community is still learning about genetics, and one of our goals is to contribute to this research. Additionally, many ethnic groups differ or are not included at all in many genetic studies. Similarly, some scientific studies may be based solely on research of one sex. As our services interpret Genetic Information based on published scientific studies, some of the interpretations that we provide may not be applicable. In addition, future genetic research may change how DNA is interpreted by Maverick.

Genetic Information provides limited insight into health and fitness. It is only one aspect of an individual’s entire health and fitness outlook and should not be assumed to be conclusive.

Maverick does not guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on Our Site. If we provide guidance on what might work for you based on Genetic and Self-Reported Information or scientific research, this is intended for research, information and educational purposes only. No medical advice is provided, and Genetic Information reported has not been clinically validated.

Health, fitness, nutrition or wellness behaviours should not be altered solely based on the information provided by Maverick. Referral to a healthcare professional to discuss results is recommended before acting upon data provided by Maverick services. There are other factors, such as other (perhaps unknown) genetic markers, environmental factors and lifestyle choices, which also affect wellness traits.

Learning about one’s Genetic Information is not for everybody. In some cases, Genetic Information may provide knowledge and information that may be unexpected or cause distress. You should consider the impact the information may have on you before using Maverick Services.

You should understand that as scientific research advances, additional services from Maverick, or from a healthcare professional might be necessary to assess and understand the meaning of one’s DNA, now and in light of new scientific information. In many cases, the analysis of your Genetic Information is based on correlations between certain genetic markers and different characteristics. Genetic Information often cannot provide conclusive information about the interaction between certain genes and environmental factors, which can significantly change a particular outcome.
Limitations of Biomarker Information – blood results are subject to significant limitations. We analyse only a small selection of Biomarkers associated with wellness traits. The results of your blood test represent the levels of these markers at the exact time you provided your sample. Blood values can vary significantly from day to day. Biomarker Information provides limited insight into health and wellness. It is only one aspect of an individual’s health and should not be considered conclusive.
Incidental Findings – During the course of testing, by way of the Circle DNA test, we collect information utilising Whole Exome Sequencing rather than gene array on a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). As a company, we focus our analysis and reporting on information related to nutrition and fitness, that can be used by you to make changes in those areas. A subset of the SNPs we collect information on may have been associated, in some studies, to a specific phenotypic trait not related to nutrition or fitness, including associations to a specific disease or increased susceptibility to a specific disease. When, as a result of sequencing a portion of DNA, additional genetic information not related to the primary purpose of sequencing is found, that information is referred to as an incidental or secondary finding. We will not report information to you that is not related to the original purpose of our testing – i.e. nutrition and fitness – because we are not a medical company. In addition, the research on genetic associations is continually evolving, and whilst a SNP may currently be associated with a phenotypic trait, including a disease, in the future further research may disprove this link. Similarly, SNPs which are currently not associated with any disease may be in future. Finally, even if a SNP may be statistically associated with a disease state, the magnitude of its impact may be unclear, and may not be clinically significant. As such, Maverick provides only information related to fitness and nutrition.
For your Snapshot blood test, we only test for a pre-defined set of markers and nothing more. Therefore, we will not report on anything outside of these markers including but not limited to infectious agents, disease or of any other clinical or medical significance.
Sharing Genetic and Biomarker Information – Sharing Genetic and Biomarker Information with companies, family, friends or employers should be done with caution as it may be used against your best interests and in some cases, may have limited meaning today, but could have a greater meaning in the future.
Genetic or Biomarker information shared with a healthcare provider can become part of your medical records and can potentially be accessed by third-party health care providers or insurance companies.

Residents of the US should understand that the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (“GINA”) protects individuals’ Genetic Information from use by health insurance providers and employers, but does not apply to disability insurance, life insurance or long-term care insurance providers. Choosing to share Genetic Information with these insurance providers is done at your own risk and if in doubt, should be discussed with a legal professional to understand the legal protections when sharing Genetic Information before disclosure.
Research – The technology used by Maverick, which is also used by the research community, has not been used for clinical testing. To speed the understanding and the applications of genetic and biomarker knowledge for clinical use, we may invite Users to voluntarily consent to participate in Maverick Research:
Maverick believes that:
1. Genetic and Biomarker Information is not the full picture of someone’s present, future or potential state of being;
2. The understanding of Genetic and Biomarker Information is always evolving and there are still many things to discover and understand;
3. Only a healthcare professional can assess your state of health or conditions, considering many factors, including your Genetic and/or Biomarker Information and your current symptoms;
4. There are still unknown risks that may be discovered as research continues.
