2. Risks and Considerations Regarding Toolbox Services and Genetic Information
Toolbox Services are for research, informational, and educational use only, and are not intended to be used by you or others for any diagnostic purpose and are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Toolbox does not provide medical advice. Genes are only one factor that affect your health, and individual experiences may vary. It is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized health plan that’s right for you.
The information and recommendations in our reports are based on your genetic profile and research studies on associations between certain genes and an individual’s health. Many of the genetic discoveries that Toolbox reports have not been clinically validated, and the technology Toolbox uses, which is the same technology used by the research community, has not been widely used for clinical testing to date. Reliance on any information provided by Toolbox, Toolbox employees, others appearing on the Toolbox website at the invitation of Toolbox, or other visitors to the Toolbox website is solely at your own risk.
You should always seek the advice of a physician, nutritionist, genetic counselor, or other health care provider with any questions you may have regarding diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or other medical condition or impairment or the status of your health. You should not change diet or health behaviors solely based on information from Toolbox. Make sure to discuss Genetic Information with a physician, nutritionist, genetic counselor or other health care provider before you act upon the Genetic Information resulting from Toolbox Services. If you have concerns or questions about what you learn through Toolbox Services, you should contact a physician or other health care provider. Toolbox is not responsible for any advice provided by a third party, whether or not such third party is a physician or health care provider, whether or not that third party based the advice on information obtained through Toolbox Services.
You should not assume that any information Toolbox may be able to provide to you, whether now or as genetic research advances, will be welcome or positive. Genetic Information you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about sharing Genetic Information with others. Some, but not all, states and other jurisdictions have laws that protect individuals with regard to their Genetic Information. You may want to consult a lawyer to understand the extent of legal protection of Genetic Information before you share it with anybody.
You understand that information you learn from Toolbox is not designed to independently provide nutritional or dietary advice; to independently diagnose, prevent, or treat any condition or disease; or to ascertain the state of your health in the absence of medical and clinical information. You understand that Toolbox Services are intended for research, informational, and educational purposes only, and that while Toolbox information might point to a diagnosis or to a possible treatment, it should always be confirmed and supplemented by additional medical and clinical testing and information. You acknowledge that Toolbox urges you to seek the advice of a physician or other health care provider if you have questions or concerns arising from Genetic Information.
By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Toolbox does not endorse, warrant, or guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action, resources, tests, physician or other health care providers, diet, nutritional plan, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information. You further acknowledge and agree that if Toolbox provides to you any recommendations that identify, based on Genetic and Self-Reported Information and scientific literature or research, potentially actionable information, this information is intended for informational purposes only and for discussion with a physician or other healthcare provider. Toolbox is not a health care provider and THE SERVICES SHOULD NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISIT, CALL, CONSULTATION OR THE ADVICE OF A PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. INFORMATION DERIVED FROM THE SERVICES IS NOT INTENDED, OR TO BE CONSTRUED, AS MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT, AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CONSULTATIONS WITH QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH INDIVIDUAL MEDICAL NEEDS.
