  12. DISCLAIMER

    These Tests screen for select clinically relevant genetic variations in human genomic DNA to assess genetic risk or predisposition to various diseases and/or traits. These Tests may require further confirmatory tests and advice of a qualified medical practitioner before any action is taken and Indus shall not be responsible for the same. Genetic risks are merely indicators of the genetic condition of the individual. If data indicates no substantial genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not imply complete protection of that individual from that particular disease. Similarly, if data indicates a substantial genetic risk for a particular disease or condition, it does not imply certainty to develop the disease or condition. The likelihood of an individual developing a particular health condition is substantially dependent on his/her lifestyle and other factors. Genetics is only part of the picture of any individual's state of being. Also, the understanding of genetic information is rapidly evolving and at any given time Indus can only comprehend part of the picture of the role of genetics, and only a trained physician or other health care provider can assess current state of health or disease, taking into account all the factors.  Further, Indus’s services are largely dependent on the assistance provided by Indus’s partners depending upon their expertise in the relevant areas which shall cause certain variations in the Test results. Indus shall not be responsible for such variations or for the loss of your Samples or any information, due to malfunction or destruction of data servers or other catastrophic events beyond our control. The individual taking the test shall continue seeking any advice or treatment that he/she has been availing from any other qualified healthcare provider or qualified medical practitioner for any previously diagnosed ailments or disease. No part of Indus’s Services including but not limited to the reports, instructions call, genetic counselling call are intended as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the services of Indus are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a purpose, or non-infringement.

  13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    In no event shall Indus, be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, incidental or remote damages however caused, and whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), or any other theory of liability, regardless of whether Indus has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The direct liability of Indus for any and all claims arising out of the Tests shall not at any point exceed the fees paid for the Test under which the claim has arisen.

  14. CONTACT US
