Terms of Service

Alumia Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 20, 2021

INTRODUCTION

Alumia offers personalized nutrition plans on a subscription basis. Our Services involve the following three-step process: 1) after you complete your initial purchase and register for an account (“Account”) on https://www.alumia.com (our “Website”), we send you an at-home saliva collection kit (our “Kit”) which includes a saliva collection tube and detailed instructions on how to register and provide your saliva sample; 2) next, we ask that you mail your sample to our CLIA-certified laboratory and provide some additional self-reported information related to your general wellness and lifestyle (your “Lifestyle Information”) by answering questions in our lifestyle questionnaire (our “Lifestyle Questionnaire”); and 3) once our laboratory receives your sample, your sample is subjected to a DNA genotyping process that produces your genetic information (your “Genetic Information”), which is then presented with accompanying scientific research findings in your Genetic Report (your “Genetic Report”). Based on your Lifestyle Information and information contained in your Genetic Report, Alumia provides you with personalized recommendations and offers, including an offer for a monthly subscription of personalized daily dietary supplements (the “Alumia Vitamins”). You may answer the Lifestyle Questionnaire, access your Genetic Report, and purchase Alumia Vitamins through your Account portal on the Website.

THE USE OF THE SERVICES DOES NOT CREATE A PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP. NO INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR CLINICAL OR MEDICAL TESTING, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT OF ANY DISEASE OR HEALTH CONDITION. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING OUR SERVICES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TAKING DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME, OR ARE PREGNANT, NURSING, TAKING ANY MEDICATIONS, UNDERGOING ANY TREATMENTS, OR HAVE ANY MEDICAL CONDITION.

You further agree and acknowledge that you will seek the advice of your physician or other healthcare providers prior to taking any action or inaction in connection with your Genetic Information, Genetic Report, or prior to your use of any Alumia Vitamins.

While Alumia attempts to keep all information on the Services up-to-date, research and technology knowledge change quickly, and the Services should not be considered error-free or as a comprehensive source of all information on a particular topic.

You may contact us with general questions regarding our Services, including our products and dietary supplements, but do not send us any specific medical, therapeutic, or treatment questions. We recommend that you consult your physician if you are considering taking dietary supplements for the first time, or are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, undergoing any treatments, or have any medical condition. Note that information and statements regarding Alumia Vitamins and our Services have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or health condition.

5.      RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

By utilizing the Services, you represent that you are aware of the potential risks associated with the use of the Services, including the use of the Kits and Alumia Vitamins, and the collection and submission of your saliva sample to Alumia.

Some potential risks associated with using our Services are as follows:

      a)   The Alumia Vitamins or recommendations provided to you may or may not be beneficial to you; the Alumia Vitamins may cause or exacerbate certain medical conditions or problems. YOUR USE OF ALUMIA VITAMINS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, NURSING, TAKING ANY MEDICATIONS, UNDERGOING ANY TREATMENTS, OR HAVE AN UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITION, ONLY USE ALUMIA VITAMINS AFTER APPROVAL FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN.
      b)   You may feel discomfort or embarrassment when providing your saliva sample.
      c)   You may receive recommendations for Alumia Vitamins and/or other dietary or nutritional recommendations, involving the consumption of Alumia Vitamins, foods, or ingredients to which you are allergic or sensitive, or to which you may have drug interactions with based on medications, treatments, or therapies you are using. If you have a known or suspected allergy, sensitivity, or drug interaction, you should not follow the recommendations and should consult with your physician. If you experience an adverse health effect or allergic reaction, discontinue the use of Alumia Vitamins immediately and contact a healthcare professional.
      d)   A specific health or medical condition(s) you may have may not get better or may get worse and you may develop new conditions if you consume Alumia Vitamins. If you experience an adverse health effect or allergic reaction, discontinue the use of Alumia Vitamins immediately and contact a healthcare professional.
      e)   You may experience an adverse health effect if you fail to exactly follow the provided instructions when using the Kit and you may need to seek emergency medical attention. The small-cap may pose a choking hazard – do not ingest the cap or leave the cap unattended in the presence of children. The saliva collection tube contains 1 ml of stabilizing liquid – do not ingest the stabilizing liquid. Wash thoroughly with water if stabilizing liquid comes in contact with your skin or eyes. For additional information, view the Material Safety Data Sheet at https://www.alumia.com/safety.
      f)   There may be other unknown or additional risks to using the Services that are not foreseeable at present.

Additionally, you should be aware of the following general considerations while using the Services:

      g)    We encourage you to talk to your primary care physician, genetic counselor, or a healthcare professional prior to using the Kit and/or consuming Alumia Vitamins.
      h)    We may not be able to process your saliva sample and mistakes may occur during the laboratory process. Our laboratory may not be able to process your saliva sample if: (i) you do not provide enough saliva; (ii) your saliva does not contain enough DNA; (iii) your saliva was contaminated by food, drink, or other substances; or (iv) the findings from the testing fail to meet our accuracy requirements. If any of these factors cause the initial laboratory testing to fail, Alumia will notify you and provide a new Kit to you for free (including shipping).
      i)    Your Genetic Information cannot predict your future health or assess your past or present state of health or well-being.
      j)    The field of genetics is continually changing and there are still many things to discover and understand. As scientists conduct more studies over time, future research may change our understanding of DNA and how your Genetic Information is interpreted. Thus, you should not view genetic testing or results from genetic testing as conclusive or as any clinically or medically validated advice or facts.
      k)    Alumia Services are for research, informational, and educational use only and are strictly intended to encourage and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As stated above, we do not provide clinical or medical advice or testing of any kind, and the Services should not be considered a substitute for any medical device or procedure. The information contained in the Genetic Report is not intended to be used for diagnostic purposes and must be used only with and under the care of your physician or other healthcare providers. The insights provided to you in the Genetic Report are derived from research information published from the National Institutes of Health and other federal government sources, in addition to specific scientific research studies related to nutrition and nutrigenomics. It is important to note that research studies related to nutrigenomics may not involve all ethnic groups or genders, and therefore some of the interpretations in our Genetic Report may not be applicable to you. Furthermore, any reporting of research information related to a genetic variant you may have for a given genetic marker is not an assessment or diagnosis of your health, nor any kind of clinical or medical advice or fact. If we provide to you any potentially actionable information, such information is intended for informational purposes only and to be used only with and under the care of your physician. You should always seek the advice of your physician with any questions you may have regarding the diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or health condition or impairment or the status of your health.
      l)    Regulations on direct-to-consumer genetic testing are subject to change and may vary by jurisdiction. Depending on the state or country, genetic testing regulations may also change over time. As such, we may not be licensed in all jurisdictions for genetic testing and we do not offer our Services in all jurisdictions.

In addition, so that Alumia can prevent the use of your User Content outside of the Services, you authorize Alumia to act on your behalf with respect to infringing uses of your User Content taken from the Services by other users or third parties. Our license to your User Content is subject to your rights under applicable law (for example laws regarding personal data protection to the extent any User Content contains personal information as defined by those laws) and is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, and improving the Services and researching and developing new ones.

You acknowledge and agree that:

      a)   All User Content you generate is correct, current and complete;

9.     KITS AND ALUMIA VITAMIN SUBSCRIPTIONS

9.1   Kit

As a part of our Services, we ship and provide a pre-paid return package for our Kit. A Kit contains everything you need to submit your saliva sample, including a saliva collection tube and instructions on how to provide, store, and register your saliva sample. Your Genetic Report, based on your Genetic Information produced from our laboratory analysis, is also included within the purchase of a Kit.

9.2   Alumia Vitamins Subscription

Alumia Vitamins are available for purchase through a monthly subscription (“Subscription”). Your Subscription begins on the date your order of Alumia Vitamins is prepared and shipped by our fulfillment center (“Subscription Start Date”), which will typically range between 1 to 3 business days after your order is confirmed. Each shipment contains a thirty-day supply of Alumia Vitamins which are packaged for use in sixty individual, personalized packets, alternating between a morning packet and a night packet for each day, and enclosed in a vitamin dispenser box for your convenience. Each shipment also includes a booklet containing Supplement Facts for all your Alumia Vitamins, in addition to related information about Alumia Vitamins or other Services. Unless you cancel or postpone your Subscription (as per our Subscription Cancellation and Postponement Policy in the following section), your Subscription automatically renews every thirty days on your next renewal date (“Subscription Renewal Date”) in accordance with your agreed billing period and without notice until you cancel. Subscriptions are non-transferable.

9.3   Kit + Subscription Bundle

We offer customers the option to purchase a bundle (“Bundle”) consisting of a Kit and a Subscription, whereby the first month of the Subscription may be discounted up to 100% of the regular Subscription price. If you choose to purchase a Bundle, the Subscription Start Date will commence on the date your order of Alumia Vitamins is prepared by our fulfillment center, not on the date of your Bundle purchase.

If you choose to purchase a Bundle, you will be notified to confirm (and update, if desired) the recommendations for your Alumia Vitamins after our CLIA-certified laboratory has completed its analysis of your saliva sample and we have produced your Genetic Report. We will attempt to notify you via email and/or SMS (if you provided consent for SMS notifications) up to five times to acquire confirmation of your Alumia Vitamins order. If you do not provide confirmation within two weeks of our initial notification to you, our fulfillment center reserves the right to proceed in preparing your order of Alumia Vitamins based on your existing unconfirmed recommendations. Once prepared, your order will be shipped to the existing shipping address listed in your Account.

10.     SUBSCRIPTION FEES, PAYMENTS, AND AUTOMATIC RENEWALS

You acknowledge and agree that by ordering Alumia Vitamins you are signing up for an Alumia Vitamin Subscription with us. You agree to pay all applicable Subscription fees made known to you when you purchase your Subscription or Bundle (“Subscription Fees”). We may use a third-party payment processor (“Third-Party Payment Processor”) to process your payment of Subscription Fees. You warrant and represent that you are the valid owner or an authorized user of the credit card or other payment card to such Third-Party Payment Processor and that all information you provide is accurate.

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. We reserve the right to adjust prices as we may determine in our sole discretion, at any time and without notice; provided, however, that if we change the amounts or other charges associated with your Subscription, we will provide advance notice of such changes by emailing you and providing notice within your Account. We will not, however, be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes. The shipment of Alumia Vitamins, as applicable, to you after our delivery of such notice will confirm your acceptance of such changes unless you cancel your Subscription in accordance with the cancellation policy set forth in this section prior to shipment.

Your right to use the Services is conditional upon our receipt of payment of Subscription Fees. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or if a charge is refunded for any reason, we reserve the right to immediately either suspend or terminate your access and Account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all our obligations hereunder. We reserve the right to change any of the fees that we charge or to institute new or additional fees, at any time upon notice to you.

10.1   Subscription Cancellation and Postponement Policy

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN YOU SIGN UP TO USE THE SERVICES, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNTIL YOU CANCEL OR POSTPONE IT. If you do not cancel or postpone your Subscription, then your next order of Alumia Vitamins will be prepared and shipped by our fulfillment center on your next Subscription Renewal Date, and applicable Subscription Fees will be charged to your credit card or other payment card. You may cancel or postpone your Subscription of Alumia Vitamins by logging into your Account on the Website and following the prompts under “Vitamin Plan” or by notifying us in writing at hello@alumia.com.

We will attempt to notify you via email approximately four days before your next Subscription Renewal Date to inform you of the final date (generally defined as two days before your next Subscription Renewal Date) in which you can make changes to your upcoming order before it is prepared by our fulfillment center. However, if you cancel or postpone your Subscription after this final date, an upcoming order that has already been prepared or shipped by our fulfillment center cannot be canceled or postponed; in this scenario, you will be responsible for all charges (including any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred for this order and it will be the following unfulfilled order that is canceled or postponed.

In the event you cancel or postpone your Subscription, we may still send you promotional communications about Alumia unless you opt-out of receiving those communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided therein.

11.     SHIPPING AND HANDLING

You agree to pay any applicable shipping and handling charges shown at the time you make a purchase. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add, or eliminate shipping and handling charges from time to time, but we will provide notice of the charges applicable to you before you make your purchase. Generally, shipping is handled by a third-party courier. Actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain, or direct shipment of, a product for export. All products purchased from us are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that title to and the risk of loss of such products passes to you upon our delivery of the product to the third-party courier.

You are responsible for inspecting all products you receive from us for any damage or other issues upon delivery.

If you are not at home when your delivery arrives, the courier will generally leave the package for you at your door or in your mailbox. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery.

In the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your order, we will attempt to deliver your order as soon as reasonably possible. In some cases, delivery may occur prior to the scheduled delivery date. In the event that timely delivery of your order is not feasible, we will cancel your delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit or refund of the purchase price for that delivery.

Shipments of the Kit and Alumia Vitamins will be delivered to the Shipping Address listed in your Account on the Website, and you will be held responsible for updating your Shipping Address in the event of a change. You agree that Alumia will not be held responsible for paying any extra shipping and handling fees or finding, replacing, or reimbursing any lost, misplaced, or stolen shipments associated with an outdated, incorrect, or invalid shipping address. Subscriptions are non-transferable.

12.     RETURNS AND REFUNDS

12.1   Kit or Bundle

In order to receive a refund for your Kit or Bundle purchase, you must notify us at hello@alumia.com within thirty (30) days of your purchase that you request a refund and attest that you have not yet used the Kit. After notifying Alumia of your refund request, you must return the unused Kit to our laboratory within thirty (30) days using the prepaid USPS return shipping label on the bottom of the box. Please ensure the shrink wrap around the Kit is removed to expose the USPS return shipping label. Do not refuse the package or return it to the sender since this will not reroute the Kit to our laboratory and your refund will not be processed.

We cannot issue a refund for your Kit or Bundle purchase if: (i) the Kit has been used, contaminated, damaged, or otherwise compromised; (ii) you request a refund more than thirty (30) days after your purchase; or (iii) our laboratory does not receive your unused Kit within thirty (30) days of your refund request.

After we have confirmed that the conditions of the refund have all been met, a refund will be issued to the same credit card or other payment card originally used for your purchase within thirty (30) days. 

12.2   Alumia Vitamins

If you are not satisfied with an Alumia Vitamin, please email us at hello@alumia.com within fourteen (14) days of the date your shipment was received. Depending on the circumstances, we may replace the item at no cost to you, or we may offer you a full or partial refund or credit of the purchase price of the item. Please note that we may require photographic documentation or the return of the item before we issue you a refund, credit, or replacement.

13.     LIFESTYLE QUESTIONNAIRE

After you send your saliva sample to our CLIA-certified laboratory, Alumia will notify you via email and/or SMS (if you provided consent for SMS notifications) to fill out and complete a brief Lifestyle Questionnaire by logging into your Account on our Website. This Lifestyle Questionnaire enables you to optionally provide additional self-reported Lifestyle Information related to your general wellness and lifestyle. Any self-reported Lifestyle Information will enable Alumia to generate, bolster, or refine your selection of recommended Alumia Vitamins.

Although some questions in the Lifestyle Questionnaire may ask about your dietary restrictions, food allergies, or other day-to-day experiences or functions related to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the Lifestyle Questionnaire and Alumia Vitamins recommendations should not be considered as an assessment or diagnosis of your health, nor any kind of clinical or medical advice or fact. Filling out and completing the Lifestyle Questionnaire does not create a physician-patient relationship between You and Alumia. If we provide to you any potentially actionable information, such information is intended for informational purposes only and to be used only with and under the care of your physician. You should always seek the advice of your physician with any questions you may have regarding the diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or health condition or impairment or the status of your health.

14.     GENETIC REPORT

After your saliva sample is processed by our CLIA-certified laboratory, Alumia will provide you with a Genetic Report containing your Genetic Information, accompanying scientific research findings, and general wellness recommendations related to encouraging and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Any information provided by Alumia is for research, informational, and educational use only and is strictly intended to encourage and maintain a healthy lifestyle. You may choose to follow the general wellness recommendations as little or as much as you wish, or you may choose not to follow them at all. The scientific research findings contained in the Genetic Report are derived from research information published from the National Institutes of Health and other federal government sources, as well as specific scientific research studies related to nutrition and nutrigenomics. Any reporting of research information related to a genetic variant you may have for a given genetic marker should not be considered as an assessment or diagnosis of your health, nor any kind of clinical or medical advice or fact. If we provide to you any potentially actionable information, such information is intended for informational purposes only and to be used only with and under the care of your physician. You should always seek the advice of your physician with any questions you may have regarding the diagnosis, cure, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or health condition or impairment or the status of your health.

Although we strive to deliver your Genetic Report within three (3) days, starting when our laboratory receives your saliva sample, we cannot guarantee and make no representations that you will receive your Genetic Report within a specified timeframe. If we determine that we are unable to deliver your Genetic Report within a commercially reasonable amount of time, we will issue you a refund for the applicable purchase price.

28.     DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND HOW TO OPT-OUT

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

      a)   Agreement to Binding Arbitration. Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to an unbiased third party designated by the parties to the controversy, who agree in advance to comply with the ruling, decisions, award or judgment after a hearing at which all parties to the controversy have an opportunity to be heard. YOU AND ALUMIA AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH GIVING UP OUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT in connection with any Dispute (defined below), and that our rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY.
      b)   You and Alumia agree that any disputes arising out of, or related to, the Website, the Services, these Terms and/or any policies or practices of Alumia (a “Dispute”) will be subject to FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall be conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by the AAA (for information on the AAA and its rules, see adr.org). Notwithstanding the above, Alumia is always interested in attempting to resolve any Disputes by amicable and informal means, and you agree to contact us at hello@alumia.com before resorting to arbitration.
      c)   You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by emailing hello@alumia.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with the choice or law, forum and venue provisions herein.
      d)   YOU AND ALUMIA ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NEITHER OF US WILL BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE WITH THE OTHER PARTY. Further, neither You nor Alumia agrees to class arbitration or any arbitration where a person brings a dispute as a representative of other person(s).
      e)   If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute by informal means, the arbitration of Disputes will be administered by a third-party arbitrator not affiliated with Alumia, in accordance with commercial arbitration rules, and if deemed appropriate by the arbitrator, any supplementary procedures for consumer disputes.
      f)   Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against Alumia (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Delaware. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for such purposes.
      g)   Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the date in which the incident giving rise to the Dispute occurred. Failure to file an arbitration claim as described above within the applicable limitation period constitutes a waiver of such claim and serves as a complete bar to any claim based on any Dispute.
      h)   This Agreement, and any Dispute between You and Alumia shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
      i)   If you access the Website or use the Services from outside the United States, you waive all rights under the laws and regulations of the territory from which you access or use the Website or Services. Regardless of whether you access the Website or use the Services from outside the United States, all Disputes shall be resolved in the United States as described above.
      j)   This section providing for arbitration of claims does not apply to commercial use and competitor violations as described above.
      k)   Any claim under this Agreement, whether arbitrated or not, are governed by Delaware and may be brought only in the state or federal courts in Delaware.

29.     WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY

No waiver by Alumia of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Alumia to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
