- Your Part of the Deal: Keep your details fresh, use our website for good stuff only, and shout out if something goes wonky.
- About the Cash: Services aren’t free, so you’ll need to cover the costs for what you use.
- What We Do Best: We decode your Blood test results from our Lab in a way that’s easy to understand (right in the website!). But heads up – it’s not the same as getting advice from a doctor. We’ll need a thumbs up from you to use your data.

- Need to Sort Something Out? If you’re facing any issues or just have something on your mind, don’t worry – as a consumer, you’ve got extra options to help you resolve things smoothly.
- Our Stuff Is Our Stuff: Using our website and Services is cool, but it doesn’t mean you own any part of our intellectual property.
