Empowering Change

Respiragene™ provides valuable personal genetic risk information about susceptibility to lung cancer than can help individuals and their doctors act to improve and protect patient health.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Synergenz BioScience, Inc. ("Synergenz," "we," "us," "our") provides this website to you subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"). We may update this TOS by posting a new version here, and your continued use of the service after any such update constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to be bound by this TOS, you should discontinue all use of the Service immediately.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The Respiragene.com website offers information about our products and services, including marketing the Respiragene™ genetic test, and provides users the ability to request a test from our affiliated laboratories (collectively, the "Service"). The Respiragene™ test, as processed by Molecular Diagnostics Laboratories, LLC ("MDL") gives users a personalized score showing susceptibility to lung cancer, based on genetic and non-genetic factors. This web site offers information aimed to individuals and physicians about the science behind the test, the process for testing, how to understand test scores, and the benefits of quitting smoking. The test itself is carried out in whole by MDL.  Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall be subject to this TOS.

3. NON-COMMERCIAL USE
You acknowledge and agree that the Service is for personal use only. You may copy information from the Service for personal use, such as to view, print, or email the information, but you warrant that you will not, under any other conditions, reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell, modify, distribute, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any portion of the Service.

4. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
The contents of the Service, including but not limited to all text, graphics, and images appearing on the Service, are for informational purposes only, and do not constitute medical advice.
