Annexure 2

Specific Terms & Conditions for DNA Reports

1 Introduction
1.1 iDNA’s DNA Report Service involves the profiling of your Genetic Data to identify the presence or absence of a particular single nucleotide polymorphism (snp). The DNA Report will only provide information on the genetic traits that you ask to be tested on. It is not a generalised report to detect every genetic trait or abnormality in your Genetic Data.

1.2 iDNA will provide you with a list of the genetic traits which the DNA Report can identify. It is your choice as to which genetic traits you seek to be tested on.

1.3 The science and technology for the DNA Report is evolving and iDNA can only provide testing within the limits of its current technology. iDNA cannot test for genetic traits which it is not currently able to test for. As research advances, you may need to order further DNA Reports to assess the meaning of your Genetic Data in the context of such advances.

1.4 iDNA is not responsible for any loss or harm that you suffer if you are subsequently found to have a genetic defect which you could have sought to be tested on but did not choose to do so or which was not available at the time that your test was conducted.

1.5 iDNA cannot prepare a DNA Report for you unless you have already had a DNA test done to obtain your Genetic Data. You can engage iDNA to perform a DNA test for your (see Annexure 3 for our DNA Testing services). Otherwise, you will need to make your own arrangements to provide iDNA with your Genetic Data.

1.6 The DNA Report which iDNA provides are focus on health related issues. iDNA does not provide services in the area of ancestry profiling or forensics.

2 Engagement for DNA Report Services
2.1 You may order one or more DNA Reports from us by submitting a signed Authorisation Form which identifies the specific genetic traits you wish to be tested for. Each test constitutes its own DNA report even though we may publish the results from all of the tests in a single document.

2.2 You cannot order a test for a genetic trait which is not listed as an available option on the Authorisation Form.

2.3 Upon our receipt of your signed Authorisation Form, you will be deemed to have entered into a contract to engage iDNA to prepare those DNA Reports which you may only cancel if you provide us with written notice before we have generated your DNA Reports.

2.4 If you cancel your order for the DNA Reports, any DNA Reports which we have generated up to the date that we receive notification of your cancellation will be charged in full even if you choose not to collect those DNA Reports from us.

3 Fees & Payment
3.1 Pricing
iDNA charges fees for each DNA Report that you order from us. The price payable for the DNA Report will be set out on the Authorisation Form or, if not disclosed there, will be provided to you upon request.

3.2 Payment
You are required to pay iDNA for each DNA Report when the DNA Report is generated by us, unless agreed otherwise.

3.3 Cancellation Policy
You may cancel your order for a DNA Report at any time before we have generated that DNA Report and we will not charge you for those cancelled DNA Reports. If we have already generated your DNA Report, then you will be charged the full fee for that DNA Report which we will invoice you for and which you must pay according to our payment terms. Cancellations are dealt with on a per report basis. If you have ordered multiple DNA Reports in the one order, you must specify which DNA Reports you wish to cancel. If you give iDNA a blanket instruction to cancel all Reports in that order, only those DNA Reports which have not been generated will be subject to cancellation. You will be invoiced for the DNA Reports which have been generated.

3.4 Refund Policy
iDNA’s general refund policy is set out in the main body of these Terms and Conditions. You are also entitled to refunds under any rights that you have under an applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law. Additionally, you are entitled to a refund if we prepare the wrong DNA Report (i.e.the DNA Report does not test for the condition that you requested in your Authorisation Form). Your eligibility for a refund is dealt with on a per report basis. If you have ordered multiple DNA Reports in the one order, your eligibility to receive a refund for one DNA Report does not entitle you to a refund on any other DNA Report.

4 Handover of DNA Reports
4.1 Given the complex nature of the information contained in the DNA Reports, iDNA requires that you book and attend a minimum 30 minute consultation with one of iDNA’s practitioners (see Annexure 1 for our Consultation Services).

4.2 If you fail to book a Consultation, iDNA may choose not to release the DNA Reports to you. iDNA reserves this right as a matter of patient care since the information in the DNA Report can be misconstrued and cause you unnecessary stress and anxiety.

4.3 The DNA Reports that iDNA prepares for you will only report whether the genetic trait that you have requested is present or absent from your Genetic Data. You agree that iDNA is not required to provide you with any information about the processes that iDNA has used to process your Genetic Data or the “rs numbers” (being the scientific reference numbers which identify a single nucleotide polymorphism) which have been used to test for the specific genetic traits as these are all the confidential proprietary information of iDNA.

5 Intellectual Property Rights In DNA Reports
5.1 The copyright and intellectual property in the DNA Reports generated by iDNA belong to iDNA and shall remain the property of iDNA.

5.2 iDNA will treat the information in the DNA Reports confidentially pursuant to the terms of our Privacy Policy. iDNA will not release or disclose your DNA Report or the information in your DNA Report to any third party without your prior written approval except in the case when your information is used for research purposes where your personal information will be redacted so that you cannot be identified.

5.3 A full copy of iDNA’s Privacy Policy can be found at our website www.idnahealth.com.au.

5.4 You agree that any copies of the DNA Report which iDNA releases to you are the confidential information of iDNA which you are only authorised to use for the sole purpose of obtaining healthcare services from you primary care physician or other relevant healthcare providers.

5.5 You agree that any commercial gains or profits that iDNA realises from any research and development that iDNA conducts using your genetic material or your Genetic Data belong to iDNA. You acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive any compensation for iDNA’s use and commercial exploitation of your genetic material or your Genetic Data.

6 Disclaimer For Genetic Data Provided By Patient
6.1 If you do not engage iDNA to conduct a DNA Test to obtain your genetic data, then you must supply your own Genetic Data to submit for analysis for the DNA Report and you use that Genetic Data at your own risk.

6.2 This means that:
(a) iDNA will be entitled to charge you its fee; and
(b) iDNA will not be liable to you for any loss, injury or damage that you suffer, if iDNA is unable to produce a DNA Report or produces an incorrect result because of a defect in the Genetic Data or if the format of the Genetic Data is incompatible with iDNA’s processes.

7 General Disclaimer For Developments In Science
7.1 Genetics is a relatively new and evolving area of science. Future research may render information in your DNA report to be incorrect, incomplete or redundant. Therefore, iDNA’s only warrants that your DNA Report will be accurate based on the science that exists at the time that iDNA generates your DNA Report.

7.2 iDNA will update its template reports accordingly as new research it deems relevant becomes available. However, iDNA’s Service does not include an obligation to keep you informed of changes in science that may materially affect the results in your DNA Report. It is your own obligation to stay in touch with iDNA to inquire whether there are any updated reports available which might be relevant to you.

Annexure 3

Specific Terms & Conditions For DNA Testing

1 Introduction
1.1 iDNA’s DNA testing services involve the taking of a genetic sample from you (e.g. saliva) and using that sample in a DNA testing kit. The DNA testing kit will then be processed in order to obtain your personalised Genetic Data.

1.2 The Genetic Data obtained from the DNA testing kit does not provide any specific information about your genetic conditions. It is raw data that must be profiled against specific “rs numbers” (being the scientific reference numbers which identify a single nucleotide polymorphism) in order to identify your specific genetic traits. The profiling of your Genetic Data to identify your specific genetic traits requires
iDNA’s DNA Report Service.

1.3 Except for the DNA Report Services offered by iDNA (see Annexure 2 for our DNA Report services), iDNA does not make any warranties or representations about how the Genetic Data obtained from your DNA Test can be used or whether the Genetic Data will be fit for that purpose. For example, iDNA does not warrant whether the Genetic Data provided by iDNA will be suitable for use for ancestry profiling. You may require different DNA test kits (which are not supplied by iDNA) for those purposes.

2 Engagement For DNA Testing Services
2.1 You may order a DNA Test from iDNA by submitting to iDNA a signed Authorisation Form and a sample of your genetic material. The Authorisation Form must either be in hard copy or submitted as an electronic form through iDNA’s website or the iDNA software platform that iDNA makes available to you for this purpose.

2.2 If you order a DNA Test from iDNA, you must use the testing kit supplied to you by iDNA. iDNA will not process any testing kit that is supplied by you or third party sources.

2.3 iDNA is not obliged to accept your order and reserves the right to refuse your order at its sole discretion.

2.4 If you are ordering a DNA Test for genetic material that is not your own, you warrant to iDNA that:
(a) you have the legal authority to obtain a sample of genetic material from that
person;
(b) you have the legal authority to order a DNA Test on behalf of that person;
and
(c) you have the legal authority to make medical and care decision for that
person.

3 Fees & Payment
3.1 Pricing
iDNA will charge you a fee for the DNA Test which will be quoted to you at the time that you place your order. Those quotes will remain valid for 21 days. After that period, you will have to submit a new Authorisation Form and ask for a new quote.

3.2 Payment
iDNA will issue an invoice for its fee when you notify iDNA that you have accepted the quote. You must pay this invoice before iDNA will submit your DNA Test for processing.

3.3 Cancellation
You cannot cancel your order for a DNA Test after your genetic material has been used in a DNA test kit. If iDNA cancels your order after your genetic material has been used in a DNA test kit, then iDNA will refund your fee in full.

7.3 Refund Policy
iDNA’s general refund policy is set out in the main body of these Terms and Conditions. You are also entitled to refunds under any rights that you have under an applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law. You will also be entitled to a have a further sample taken if your genetic material or your DNA test kit are lost during transport or processing.

4 Test Failure Due To Inadequate Sample Of Genetic Material
4.1 A DNA Test requires a minimum amount of genetic material. There is a variance in the amount of genetic material contained in a swab sample which cannot be predicted by iDNA. Therefore, iDNA is not liable and will be entitled to charge for its fee in full if the DNA test kit that you use cannot produce your Genetic Data because it does not have the requisite amount of genetic material.

5 Accidental Loss Genetic Material
5.1 iDNA may conduct some or all of the processing of your DNA test kit off-site. While iDNA will take every reasonable effort to ensure the safe handling of your DNA test kit, there is always a risk that some or all of your genetic material will be lost or damaged in transit and that your DNA test kit will not be viable for processing. If that should occur, iDNA’s liability will be limited to providing you with the opportunity to have another genetic sample taken, at no additional cost, and resubmit this sample for testing.

5.2 There is a risk that some or all of the genetic material could be accidentally lost, damaged or contaminated during processing which would mean that your DNA test kit will not be capable of being processed to provide your Genetic Data. If that should occur, iDNA’s liability will be limited to providing you with the opportunity to have another genetic sample taken, at no additional cost, and resubmit this sample
for testing.

6 Intellectual Property Rights & Privacy Over DNA Data
6.1 iDNA acknowledges that the genetic sample that you provide in your DNA test kit is your property and shall remain your property at all times. iDNA will only use your genetic sample for the sole purpose of processing your DNA test kit to obtain your Genetic Data. iDNA will not release your genetic material to any other person or disclose to any person that iDNA has your genetic material in its possession except where it is necessary for the purpose of processing your DNA test kit.

6.2 The information comprising your Genetic Data (both electronic and hardcopy versions) are the property of iDNA and shall remain iDNA’s property at all times. iDNA will use your Genetic Data at your direction for the purposes of conducting the DNA Report Services which you order from iDNA (see Annexure 2 for terms and conditions for iDNA’s DNA Report Services).

6.3 iDNA will treat the information in your Genetic Data confidentially pursuant to the terms of our Privacy Policy. iDNA will not release or disclose your Genetic Data or the information in your Genetic Data to any third party without your prior written approval except in the case when your information is used for research purposes where your personal information will be redacted so that you cannot be identified.

6.4 A full copy of iDNA’s Privacy Policy can be found at our website www.idnahealth.com.au.

6.5 iDNA will not release the raw data file for your Genetic Data to you unless you make a written request to iDNA. The decision to release your Genetic Data is at iDNA’s sole discretion and, because the data file is very large, iDNA reserves the right to charge you an additional fee to do so.

6.6 You agree that any copies of your Genetic Data which iDNA releases to you are the confidential information of iDNA which you are only authorised to use for the sole purpose of obtaining healthcare services from your primary care physician or other relevant healthcare providers.

6.7 You agree that any commercial gains or profits that iDNA realises from any research and development that iDNA conducts using your genetic material or your Genetic Data belong to iDNA. You acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive any compensation for iDNA’s use and commercial exploitation of your genetic material or your Genetic Data.

7 Limitation of Liability
7.1 Genetics is a relatively new and evolving are of science. As such, iDNA cannot give a 100% warranty of the accuracy and completeness of the Genetic Data obtained from your DNA test kit.

7.2 If iDNA has subcontracted the task of processing your DNA test kit to a third party contractor, then iDNA’s liability to compensate you for any loss or damage that you suffer by reason of any defect or inaccuracy in your Genetic Data is limited to the rights and remedies that iDNA is able to procure from that third party contractor.
