Terms and Conditions

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in California Institute of Genetics ("CalGenetics", “we", or ''us”). These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement are a legally binding contract between you and CalGenetics regarding your use of the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (i) you are at least 18 years old; (ii) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (iii) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.

To access the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, your Linkedin ID, your date of birth, your phone number, your business email address, and/or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up­to­date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at info@calgenetics.org.

Some of the features of the Service may enable CalGenetics to access your location in order to tailor your experience with the Service based on your location (“Location Based Services”). In order to use certain Location­ based Services, you must enable certain features of your mobile phone, which enable CalGenetics to identify your location through a variety of means, including GPS location, IP address, cell tower location, geo­fencing technology, or detection by physical on­location Wi­Fi or Bluetooth sensors, as available. If you choose to disable any Location­based Services on your device, you may not be able to utilize certain features of the Service. By enabling Location­based Services, you agree and acknowledge that: (i) device data we collect from you is directly relevant to your use of the Service; (ii) CalGenetics may provide Location Based Services related to and based on your then current location; and (iii) CalGenetics may use any such information collected in connection with provision of the Service.

Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non refundable.

Price. CalGenetics reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. CalGenetics will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. CalGenetics may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges; provided that CalGenetics gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. CalGenetics, in its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will have no bearing whatsoever on the pricing made available to you.

Authorization. You authorize CalGenetics to charge all sums as described in these Terms or published on the website for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, CalGenetics may seek pre-authorisation of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

Subscription Service. The Service may provide recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate or update Subscription Service through the Service, you authorize CalGenetics to periodically charge, on a going forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. For information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see our website. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees for the next subscription period. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. We will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your account information). You may cancel your Subscription Service by contacting us at: info@calgenetics.org.

Delinquent Accounts. CalGenetics reserves the right to suspend or terminate Service for any accounts for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, such accounts will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargebacks or collection of any such unpaid amounts including collection fees
