4. Description of the Services

Lumi analysis is performed at accredited genetic laboratories adhering to international and local standards. Analysis of results is based on currently available information in the medical literature and scientific databases, as well as laboratory informatics and algorithms that may be subject to change. New information may replace or add to the information that was used to analyse your results.

Please note that this test does not provide diagnosis or treatment. The report and comments are for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as specific professional medical advice.

Lumi’s analysis is based solely on the sample and information provided by you to Lumi and does not take all factors related to your health into account. Therefore, Lumi employees and its DNA laboratory shall have no liability to any person or entity with regard to claims, loss, or damage caused, or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly, by the use of information contained herein.

5. Risks and Considerations Regarding Lumi’s Services

Our DNA Laboratory may not be able to process your sample, and our laboratory process may result in errors. While our DNA Laboratory adheres to international quality standards, we may not be able to process your sample if your DNA sample does not contain a sufficient volume of DNA, you do not provide enough DNA sample, or the results from processing do not meet our standards for accuracy. If the initial processing fails for any of these reasons, we will reprocess the same sample at no charge to you.

6. User Representations
