The short version

These Terms are a binding agreement. Here is what matters most, in plain language:

Education, not medical advice. Genetic Lifehacks explains research. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace your doctor or a genetic counselor.
Your genetic data stays on your device when you use membership features. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what we do and do not collect.
Memberships. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account page. New members can get a full refund within 7 days.
Lifetime means for as long as we operate Genetic Lifehacks, not for your lifetime.
Our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the past 12 months.
Montana law applies, and disputes are handled in Montana.

Genetic Lifehacks Terms of Service

Last updated: October, 2026

1. Who we are

Genetic Lifehacks is owned and operated by Moon Consulting, LLC, located in Kalispell, Montana (“Genetic Lifehacks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). “You” means the person using our website, products, or services.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) cover GeneticLifehacks.com and everything we offer through it, including articles, memberships, the SNP lookup tool, eBooks, courses, newsletters, and digital products (together, the “Services”).

2. Accepting these Terms

By creating an account, buying anything from us, or checking the box at checkout, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you are only reading free articles, these Terms still apply to that use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

3. Who can use the Services

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract where you live. The Services are not intended for children. You may not use the Services if you are located in, or ordinarily live in, a country or region where we do not offer them (see Section 23), or if you are on a U.S. government list of restricted parties.

4. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as our Services or the law change. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when we last changed them.

Material changes: We will email members and post a notice on the site at least 5 days before the change takes effect.
Your choice: If you do not agree with a change, you can cancel before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Services after that date means you accept the updated Terms.
Past disputes: Changes do not apply to disputes that arose before the change took effect.

5. What the Services are

Genetic Lifehacks publishes research-based articles about genes and health. Members can connect their own raw genetic data file so their genotypes display inside articles and summary reports. That processing happens in your web browser, on your device.

We keep improving the Services, so features, content, and tools may change, be added, or be removed. We will try to give members reasonable notice of major changes. If we stop offering the Services entirely, Section 9 explains what happens to paid memberships.

6. Your account

You need an account to use member features. You agree to:

Give accurate information and keep it current.
Keep your password private and not share your login. A membership is for one person, except PRO memberships as described in Section 7.
Tell us promptly through the contact form if you think someone has accessed your account without permission.

You are responsible for activity under your account. Use member features on a device you control, because your genetic data file is read and may be temporarily stored by your browser. You can remove it at any time with the “Clear Your Data” button. We are not responsible for access to data on your device by other people or by software on that device.

7. PRO memberships for practitioners

If you buy a PRO membership to create reports for clients, these extra terms apply:

Client consent. Before you connect to a client’s genetic data, you must get the client’s informed consent, including any written consent required by the laws where you or your client live.
Your professional responsibility. You are solely responsible for how you interpret, explain, and use reports with clients, and for practicing within the scope of your license or credentials. Reports are educational material, not clinical tests or diagnoses.
No relationship with your clients. We have no relationship with, and owe no duties to, your clients. You may not represent that Genetic Lifehacks has reviewed, endorsed, or diagnosed any client.
Data handling. You are responsible for keeping client data secure on your devices and for complying with privacy laws that apply to you, including HIPAA if you are a covered entity.
Branding. You may share printed reports with your own clients. You may not resell access, rebrand our content as your own, or share your login with others.

8. Memberships, billing, and automatic renewal

Plan	How billing works	How it ends
Monthly	Charged every month on your signup date	Renews automatically until you cancel
Annual	Charged once a year on your signup date	Renews automatically until you cancel
Lifetime	One payment, no renewal	Access continues as described below
PRO	[Monthly / annual, as shown at checkout]	Renews automatically until you cancel

Automatic renewal. By choosing a monthly, annual, or PRO plan, you authorize us and our payment processors, Stripe or PayPal, to charge your payment method at the start of each billing period at the price then in effect, until you cancel.
Renewal reminders. For annual plans, we will email you a reminder 21 days before each renewal, with the date, the amount, and how to cancel.
Price changes. Your subscription price will not change if it is maintained as an active subscription.
How to cancel. Cancel anytime from your account page, or by emailing [support email]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then.
Taxes and failed payments. Prices may not include applicable taxes. If a payment fails, we may pause access until it is resolved.

9. Refunds and what “Lifetime” means

7-day guarantee. If you are not satisfied, or your data file does not work, contact us within 7 days of your first purchase of a membership for a full refund.
After 7 days. Payments are non-refundable. Canceling stops future charges but does not refund the current period.
Digital products. eBooks and other downloads are non-refundable.
Lifetime membership. “Lifetime” means access for the life of the Genetic Lifehacks membership service, not the life of the purchaser. It is personal to you and cannot be transferred. If we permanently discontinue the membership service, we will give at least 60 days’ notice.
Chargebacks. Please contact us before filing a chargeback so we can fix the problem. We may suspend an account while a chargeback is pending.

10. Ending your access

You can stop anytime by canceling as described in Section 8 or by asking us to delete your account.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, including sharing logins, scraping or redistributing content, fraud, chargeback abuse, or misuse of client data. Where reasonable, we will warn you first. If we terminate for a breach, no refund is due.

If we end your access without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription. For a Lifetime membership, the refund follows the rule in Section 9.

Sections 9 and 11 through 25 continue to apply after your account ends.

11. Educational information, not medical advice

Everything on Genetic Lifehacks, including articles, reports, Lifehacks sections, courses, and emails, is for educational purposes only.

Not medical care. We do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Our content is not a substitute for advice from your physician, genetic counselor, pharmacist, or other qualified health professional. Statements about nutrients, supplements, and lifestyle have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
No professional relationship. Using the Services does not create a doctor–patient, genetic counselor–client, or other healthcare relationship with Genetic Lifehacks or its authors.
Talk to your doctor first. Consult a qualified professional before changing your diet, supplements, medications, or exercise, and before acting on any genetic result. Never stop or change a prescribed medication based on our content.
Errors happen. Consumer raw data files can contain errors. Genetic research changes and studies can conflict. Our content may contain mistakes or become outdated. Consumer genetic data is not a clinical test, and important results should be confirmed through clinical testing ordered by a healthcare provider.
Unexpected results. You may learn about variants linked to serious conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or rare genetic diseases. Consider whether you want this information, and whether to talk with a genetic counselor, before you look.
Emergencies. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Assumption of risk. You decide what to do with the information you find here. Any diet, supplement, or lifestyle change you make is your choice and at your own risk.

12. Your genetic data and privacy

Our Privacy Policy and our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explain what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. In short:

Membership features read your raw data file in your own browser. We do not upload, view, or store it on our servers.
We do not sell genetic data and do not share it with insurers, employers, or researchers.
We will not disclose your personal information to law enforcement unless required by a valid subpoena, warrant, or court order. Where the law allows, we will try to notify you first.

Only connect to genetic data that is your own or that you have permission to use (see Section 7 for practitioners).

13. Children

The Services are designed for adults and are not directed to children under 18. Most genetic research is done in adults, and results may not apply to children. Do not create an account for a child. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

14. Our content and how you may use it

Moon Consulting, LLC owns or licenses all content and software on the Services, including articles, reports, report-generating code, courses, eBooks, graphics, and the Genetic Lifehacks name and logo. Some images are created under license from third parties, such as BioRender.

You may: read and use the content for your own personal, non-commercial education; save and print your own summary reports; and share links to our articles.

You may not:

Copy, republish, sell, or distribute our content, or any substantial portion of it, without written permission.
Share your login or give others access to member content.
Scrape, crawl, bulk download, or harvest content or data, including with bots or automated tools.
Use our content to train, fine-tune, or feed artificial intelligence or machine learning systems, or for text and data mining. We expressly reserve these rights.
Copy, reverse engineer, or decompile our report software, except where the law allows it.
Remove copyright notices or present our work as your own.

Short quotations with attribution and a link are welcome where fair use allows.

15. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Services to break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, upload someone else’s genetic data without permission, interfere with site security or performance, upload malware, or attempt to access accounts or systems you are not authorized to use.

16. Copyright complaints, third-party links, and affiliate disclosure

Copyright complaints. If you believe content on our site infringes your copyright, send a notice.

Links to other sites. Our articles link to research studies, retailers, and other websites for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, privacy practices, or availability.

17. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

In plain terms, we do not promise that:

the content is complete, current, or error-free;
any genetic interpretation is correct for you, or that any suggestion will work for you;
every raw data file, variant, or browser will be supported;
the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of bugs; or
data stored in your browser will be kept, since browsers can clear it.

Some places do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these may not apply to you.

18. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW:

MOON CONSULTING, LLC AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR PERSONAL INJURY OR HEALTH OUTCOMES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100.

These limits apply whatever the legal theory, including contract, negligence, or product liability. They do not limit liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or anything else that cannot be limited by law.

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Moon Consulting, LLC and its owners, employees, and contractors from claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from:

your breach of these Terms;
your misuse of the Services or of anyone else’s genetic data;
for practitioners, advice or services you provide to clients using our reports; or
your violation of any law or third-party right.

We will tell you about any such claim and may participate in the defense with counsel of our choice.

20. Your responsibility for your decisions

You are responsible for evaluating the information you read and for any decisions you make about your health, including choices about supplements, diet, testing, and medical care. Section 11 explains why those decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare professional.

21. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you live outside the United States, this does not take away consumer protections that the law of your country says cannot be waived.

22. Resolving disputes

Talk to us first. Most problems can be solved quickly. Before filing any claim, email with a description of the issue and what you are asking for. We both agree to try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.
Where claims are heard. If we cannot resolve it, any claim must be brought only in the state courts located in Flathead County, Montana, or the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, and you and we consent to those courts’ jurisdiction. Either of us may instead bring an eligible claim in small claims court where you live.
Individual claims only. To the extent allowed by law, claims may be brought only on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action.
Jury waiver. To the extent allowed by law, you and we waive any right to a jury trial.
Time limit. Any claim must be brought within six months after it arises, unless the law requires a longer period.

23. Where the Services are available

We operate the Services from the United States and do not promise that they are appropriate or legal everywhere. You are responsible for following the laws where you live.

Paid memberships and digital products are not available to people located in, or ordinarily living in:

countries and regions subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, as listed by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine); and
Russia, Angola, Albania, Libya, Somalia, and South Korea, which we have chosen not to serve for regulatory reasons.

We may change this list at any time and may cancel and refund orders placed from restricted locations.

24. General terms

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy, and any terms shown at checkout are the whole agreement between you and us about the Services. If checkout terms conflict with these Terms, the checkout terms control for that purchase.
Severability. If a court finds any part of these Terms unenforceable, that part will be limited as little as needed, and the rest stays in effect.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a right right away, we have not given it up.
Assignment. You may not transfer your account or these Terms. We may transfer them as part of a merger, sale, or reorganization of our business, and these Terms will continue to protect you.
Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as outages at our hosting or payment providers, natural disasters, or internet failures.
Notices. We may send notices to the email address on your account. You can send notices to us at the contact details below.
Headings. Section titles and the “short version” are for convenience and do not change the meaning of these Terms.
