  1. Our Services.

It is your sole responsibility to follow the Sample collection guidelines provided in the Test Kit. Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in unusable Samples, for which Company cannot be held responsible.

Each Test Kit contains sample collection materials intended for single use only. Orders and Test Kits are non-transferable and must be used only for the pet registered at the time of purchase. The swabs provided in the Test Kit have a limited shelf life, and all Samples must be collected and submitted to us within 6 (six) months from the date of purchase (“Expiration Date”). If a Sample is not submitted before the Expiration Date of a Test Kit, Company shall have no obligation to process the Sample or provide the Services. If the Company, at its sole discretion, agrees to process a Sample submitted after the Expiration Date, you acknowledge and accept that the accuracy of the Results may be compromised or may not be complete accurate, and the Company shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in such Results.

Once a properly collected Sample is received by us, the typical processing time is approximately four to six (4–6) weeks. While every effort is made to adhere to this timeline, unforeseen delays may occur. In the event of a significant delay, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.

By submitting a Sample to us, you grant the Company permission to use de-identified genetic data derived from the Sample for internal research, development of new products or features, quality control, and scientific publication. You may opt out for such use at any time by contacting us at support@woofdna.in. Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data usage prior to the date of withdrawal. If no preference is indicated, we will assume your implied consent for standard retention. All collection, storage, and processing of Samples and associated data shall be governed by these Terms and our Privacy Policy available at [*], which is incorporated herein by reference.

You are solely responsible for collecting the Sample using the instructions provided in the WoofDNA Test Kit. Failure to follow the collection or shipping guidelines (such as improper handling, contamination, or damage to the Sample) may result in delays, inability to process the Sample, or inaccurate results, and Company shall bear no liability for the same. Company shall also not be liable for delays caused by third-party logistics or any issues arising from improper handling by you after delivery of the Test Kit.

By submitting the Sample, you provide your informed and voluntary consent for us to analyze the Sample and to use the resulting genetic and related data in accordance with these Terms and the Privacy Policy. In case of multiple pets being tested simultaneously the onus of matching the samples with the correct pets lies with the User bases the details entered in the ‘My Kit’ tab on the website

Company uses advanced genetic testing technologies and works with reputable laboratory and bioinformatics partners to deliver high-quality results; however, no genetic test is 100% accurate. Our breed and trait predictions are generated using statistical comparisons against a curated genetic reference panel. These predictions are not definitive and are based on current scientific research and reference databases. Breed composition percentages and trait likelihoods may evolve over time as the Company’s database grows and scientific models are refined.. Some parts of the Results may be generated using predictive modeling, artificial intelligence, and machine learning algorithms. These methods are probabilistic and subject to change as models are updated. Company makes no warranties regarding the completeness or accuracy of insights derived from algorithmic analysis. The genetic testing services and results provided by us are intended solely for informational, educational, and general wellness purposes and do not constitute, and are not intended to constitute, veterinary or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For any health-related concerns or decisions regarding your pet, you must consult a licensed veterinarian. You understand and agree that any reliance on the Test Results shall be at your sole risk and discretion. Company disclaims all liability for any decisions made, or actions taken or not taken by you or any third party, based on the Test Results.

Company may, from time to time, update previously issued genetic reports based on improvements to testing technology, analysis algorithms, or expansion of its reference database. While such updates may be made available to you at the Company’s discretion, they do not constitute a commitment to provide ongoing updates or a warranty of accuracy.

The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel, reject, or limit any order placed through the Website or Services with or without prior notice and without any liability. This may occur for various reasons, including but not limited to unavailability of Test Kits or laboratory capacity, errors in order information or pricing, suspected misuse or abuse of the Services, regulatory restrictions, or concerns regarding the authenticity or viability of submitted Samples.

In the event an order is cancelled or modified after payment has been processed, the Company will initiate a refund in accordance with its refund policy specified in these Terms. The Company also reserves the right to impose limits on the number of Test Kits or services that may be ordered by a single individual, household, or account, to ensure fair access to Services and prevent misuse.

By placing an order, you acknowledge and agree that receipt of an order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of your order by the Company, and that the Company may review and verify order details before fulfilling or declining any request.
