Terms of Service
Last Updated: June 9, 2026
Welcome to GenomeGuard. By accessing our platform, uploading genomic files (VCFs), or utilizing our pharmacogenomic risk calculation engines, you agree to comply with the terms and disclaimers outlined below.
Important Medical Disclaimer
GenomeGuard is a Research Use Only clinical decision support reference tool. The reports and compatibility checks generated do not constitute formal medical advice, diagnostic services, or official treatment guidelines. All findings must be reviewed and validated by a licensed physician, clinical geneticist, or pharmacist before any adjustments are made to therapeutic drug regimens or dosages.
1Description of Services
GenomeGuard provides an automated computational platform that parses genetic variant call files (specifically in variant call format, VCF) to extract clinical mappings corresponding to published CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium) and PharmGKB clinical guideline data.
2User Requirements & Upload Validity
To utilize the analysis tools, you must provide genomic data in a standard variant call format (VCF) that has been aligned to human reference genome assembly GRCh37 (hg19) or GRCh38 (hg38).
You represent and warrant that you possess the necessary authorizations and consents to upload and process any genetic data submitted to the platform, and that doing so does not violate local health regulations.
3Acceptable Use & Code of Conduct
You agree not to perform any of the following restricted actions:
- Deploying spiders, scrapers, or automated bots to retrieve drug interaction data or proprietary clinical logic schemas.
- Attempting to bypass authentication mechanisms, access unauthorized clinician dashboard routes, or query raw API configurations.
- Uploading corrupted, malicious, or intentionally malformed VCF structures designed to induce server-side script injections.
4Intellectual Property
The GenomeGuard logo, web styling, pharmacogenomic classification algorithms, and clinical database mappings are the intellectual property of GenomeGuard. Third-party clinical guidelines (such as CPIC or PharmGKB guidelines) referenced within the application remain the properties of their respective consortia.
5Limitation of Liability
GenomeGuard, its founders, and clinical contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use of, or inability to use, the platform's insights. Decisions regarding medical treatments, prescription changes, or diagnostics are made at the sole risk and discretion of the user and their medical provider.
