III. Risk Warnings
Before purchasing and (or) using WeGene services, you should fully understand and comprehend the following risks. In these circumstances, we shall not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from your purchase and (or) use of WeGene services:
1.Genetic testing results may contain content you did not anticipate,such as disease risks that may be higher than average levels, the emergence of certain genetic defects or diseases without treatment options, or kinship relationships. This may cause certain psychological and life disturbances for you, affect your health, and even produce social, legal, economic, and ethical impacts. If you are concerned that knowing unpredictable content will adversely affect your physical and psychological health or other health risks, please carefully consider whether to use our services. Based on the foregoing, WeGene specifically advises that genetic testing may reveal unexpected family relationships, including situations where presumed biological relationships do not exist or where previously unknown biological relatives are identified. Of course, genetic testing may also reveal that you have other biological relatives beyond existing family relationships. If you do not wish to see this information, you can turn off this analysis result in the system. If the specific content of such "revelations" is beyond your expectations, you may be psychologically troubled and may even have ethical or legal implications. Please understand that the aforementioned revealed content is based on genetic scientific reasoning, and WeGene provides corresponding results based on your consent. WeGene does not assume any responsibility to you or your family members in this regard, nor does WeGene assume responsibility for any risks (whether legal or moral) that may arise from the re-determination of kinship relationships that may occur in genetic testing. Unexpected discoveries such as disease risks and genetic defects that may be revealed by genetic testing are for your reference only. We recommend that you go to professional medical service institutions for professional examination and diagnosis before making judgments. If you still choose to use our services after evaluating the risks, we shall not be liable for the aforementioned adverse effects or other health risks that may arise.
2.Testing may contain errors due to limitations of current biological experimental technology. Although we have adopted high standards to regulate our laboratory testing technology, due to limitations in current technological development, including but not limited to limitations in the level of understanding of genes and limitations inherent in testing methods themselves, and because applicants (users) have individual differences, even when testing personnel have fully fulfilled their work responsibilities and operating procedures,we still cannot guarantee 100% accurate testing results, and there may still be situations where testing results deviate from users' subjective judgments or clinical diagnostic results. Therefore, even if specific characteristics are not detected, the possibility that the individual (user) has such characteristics cannot be completely ruled out. Please understand and agree that errors or omissions in testing results due to the above abnormal circumstances should not be regarded as negligence, fault, or breach of contract by WeGene in providing services, and users have no right to require WeGene to bear liability for breach of contract or tort such as refunds.
3.WeGene testing results may not be comprehensive due to limitations in genetic technology development.Current human research on genetic technology is not comprehensive, and there are still some genetic information that cannot be interpreted, or the same information interpreted under better technology in the future may be different from current interpretations. Current interpretation of genetic testing results mainly relies on existing academic research conclusions and authoritative public database information. As sample quantities accumulate and related research continues to deepen, interpretation information will become richer and more detailed. As genetic technology develops, re-interpreted results may differ from those previously provided to you. Such differences do not constitute negligence, fault, or breach of contract by WeGene.
4.We can only provide these testing results to you online in our formats (for example, TXT, JSON, CRAM, VCF, PDF). If you require other formats and it is technically feasible, additional fees may apply.
5.Regarding your sharing of genetic information with others (including but not limited to your selection of "displaying certain information to others" in the report sharing function on WeGene websites, Apps, E-commerce websites, WeChat official accounts, WeChat mini-programs and use of report sharing functions; Your insertion of report content in community modules on WeGene websites, Apps, E-commerce websites, WeChat official accounts, WeChat mini-programs; Your operations to determine genetic relationships on WeGene websites, Apps, E-commerce websites, WeChat official accounts, WeChat mini-programs without actively choosing to turn off; Your operations to actively authorize third-party websites through WeGene API, as well as your sharing or actively choosing to make public your genetic information through other means), you should remain prudent, as this may affect your interests in insurance or employment or disclose your personal privacy. We hereby remind you to pay attention to protecting your genetic information. You shall bear all consequences arising from your sharing, providing, or allowing others to access (i.e., making public) your genetic information or testing results. Please also note that due to uncontrollable external third-party data crawling, data that you actively display publicly on WeGene websites, Apps, E-commerce websites, WeChat official accounts, WeChat mini-programs may be obtained. We are not responsible for such third-party actions. Please carefully choose the scope of information disclosure and properly anonymize personal information.
6. We may de-identify or anonymize your personal information that we collect for our own statistical analysis, scientific research, medical research and development, and development of related technology products.
7. You understand that you will not obtain any rights to any research results or commercial products developed by us or our partners by providing us with your biological samples and genetic information, nor will you receive any compensation for this.
8.Please note that you have the right to request deletion of the genetic data you provided according to our privacy policy and the procedures described on our official website and App, but after deleting the data, if you need to obtain testing services and reports again in the future, you will need to pay. If you delete your account, you will not be able to use our subsequently launched paid or free genetic testing, genetic analysis, report updates, and other services.
