Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions – DNA My Horse Australia (Effective Date: May 1, 2024)
Please read these terms and conditions carefully. They contain important information about your rights and obligations and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and DNA My Horse and its affiliate companies (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) regarding your use of the Service and Site. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE ABLE AND LEGALLY COMPETENT TO DO SO.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU AND REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WITH US THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE – AND YOU WAIVE – THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Please see "DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES & LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY" (Section 24) and "DISPUTE RESOLUTION" (Section 26) below for more information.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY PART OF THESE TERMS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
1. Binding Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern the testing services provided to the undersigned customer (“Customer”) by DNA My Horse (“DNA My Horse” or the “Company”) in accordance with the DNA Test Sample Submission Form. DNA My Horse’s main operations are based in the United States, and for customers in Australia, we provide a local mailing address for sample submissions (for forwarding to our U.S. facilities), but all testing is performed in the U.S. and billing is processed by our U.S. headquarters. This is a legally binding agreement between Customer and DNA My Horse.
2. Provision of Services
DNA My Horse shall provide the testing services to the Customer as described on the DNA Sample Submission Form, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. This constitutes a legally binding agreement between the Customer and DNA My Horse.
3. Sample Handling and Ownership
DNA My Horse shall store and process all samples sent by the Customer with care and attention for as long as required to perform the agreed testing. All samples become the sole property of DNA My Horse, which has no obligation to return samples or to store them after testing. DNA My Horse retains the right to dispose of any remaining sample or utilize it for further research.
3a. Breed Analysis Limitations
Upon receipt of a sample, DNA My Horse will analyze the horse’s DNA to determine the breed(s) present in its recent ancestry. DNA My Horse’s breed identification products are based on the Company’s database of horse breeds. If a horse’s ancestry contains breeds not represented in our database, the results may identify related breeds that are in the database. Test results may also be inconclusive if the sample’s DNA does not meet the required parameters for breed analysis (in which case any inconclusive result will be automatically handled with a refund).
4. Legal Right to Submit Samples
It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that they have the legal right to submit a sample from the horse in question. The Customer also accepts responsibility for providing accurate information at the time of purchase. If there are inaccuracies (e.g. misspelled names), DNA My Horse reserves the right to charge additional administrative fees to make corrections.
5. Cautions
A number of factors can impact the accuracy of the Service and test results, including (without limitation) the Customer’s ability to provide sufficient and uncontaminated biological samples as instructed in the DNA Submission Sheet. YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY TESTING OR OTHER SERVICE ERRORS CAUSED BY YOU OR YOUR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SAMPLES STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH DNA SAMPLE SUBMISSON INSTRUCTIONS. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, accurate, or reliable, or that the Service will achieve or produce any particular result (whether expressly specified by you or not), or that the results of the Service will be accepted by any particular entity.
6. Medical/Veterinary Advice Disclaimer
THE SERVICE AND THE SITE DO NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL OR VETERINARY ADVICE OR ASSURANCES REGARDING HEALTH OR SAFETY. You use the Service, the Site, and any information produced by them at your own risk. We do not offer medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations, and we do not engage in the practice of veterinary medicine. The content and other materials created by the Company or contained on the Site are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The determination of the need for medical or veterinary services and the types of care to be provided should be made only by a licensed veterinarian. Always seek the advice of a qualified veterinarian with any questions you have regarding any actual or potential medical condition or symptoms your horse may be experiencing. Using a proprietary analysis and database, the Service can provide insight into the breed ancestry of a horse and breed-related risks of developing certain diseases. While the Service can help identify risk factors associated with certain conditions, it is not intended to diagnose diseases or predict behavior in any particular horse. In the unlikely event that it is not possible to determine breed history, ancestry, genetic-disease results, to fulfill any other service or product order you requested, or if an error occurs in any analysis conducted by DNA My Horse, liability by DNA My Horse (and related companies and individuals) is expressly disclaimed. Any damages, if awarded, are limited to the payment actually received by DNA My Horse for the specific analysis at issue.

24. General Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability
(a) We do not warrant that access to or use of the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects in the Site will be corrected. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, completely accurate, or reliable, or that the Service will achieve any particular result (whether or not specified by you). The Site and the Service are provided by the Company on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of the Site, the information, content or materials on the Site, or the Service.
(b) The Company makes no guarantee that the test results will be accepted by any particular entity or organization. If you wish to use the result of our analysis in any court proceeding or official context, we recommend that you obtain independent legal advice regarding its admissibility.
(c) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, in no event will the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, or other representatives be liable for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages or losses of any kind arising out of or in connection with the Service (including the results produced by the Service), your access to or use of the Site or any Site-related services, or any information, content, or materials included on the Site. This limitation applies whether or not the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, violation of statute, or otherwise).
(d) Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Site, Site-related content or services, any linked site, or the Service is to stop using the Site and the Service. To the extent any aspect of the foregoing limitations of liability is not enforceable, our maximum liability to you with respect to your use of the Site and any Service is the lesser of US $69.99 or the amount you paid for the Service. The foregoing limitations apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
(e) Any claim arising in connection with your use of the Site or the Service must be brought within one (1) year of the event giving rise to such action, or else the claim is barred.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the exclusions or limitations in this section are intended to limit any rights you may have as a consumer under local law or other statutory rights (for example, under the Australian Consumer Law) which may not be excluded, nor to exclude or limit the Company’s liability to you for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or that of our employees or agents.
(g) Australian Consumer Law: If you are a consumer in Australia, our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law accc.gov.au. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights or remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law, and any term that would do so is void to that extent. For example, you may be entitled to a replacement, refund, or compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss if our service fails to meet a consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law accc.gov.au.
25. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its suppliers, licensors, partners, and the officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives of each of them, from any claims, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees on an indemnity basis) arising out of or relating to:
-
your access to or use of the Site
-
your violation of these Terms
-
your infringement (or infringement by anyone using your account) of any intellectual property, privacy, or other right of any person or entity
-
your use of the Service
-
any samples you provide to the Company
-
any User Generated Content you submit
-
the Company’s performance of the testing services for you
The Company reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. You will not settle any such matter without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
26. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, USA (without giving effect to conflict of law principles). However, if you are an Australian consumer, you may have certain rights under Australian law that apply in addition to or instead of some provisions of these Terms, and nothing in these Terms removes or reduces those rights. This Agreement is binding on the parties in the United States and (to the extent legally permissible) worldwide. (For clarity, the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.)
YOU AND DNA MY HORSE AGREE that (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any claim or dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration as specified in this Section 26, and that you and DNA My Horse waive the right to bring such claims before a court of law (except where applicable law provides otherwise).
YOU AND DNA MY HORSE FURTHER AGREE (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING (except where such a waiver is not permitted by law). OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Any dispute between you and DNA My Horse (including its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, or affiliates, collectively the “DNA My Horse Parties”) arising from or relating to these Terms, their interpretation, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, or the relationships which result from these Terms (including disputes about the validity, scope, or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate) (each a “Covered Dispute”) will be settled by binding arbitration in the State of New Jersey, USA, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules in effect at the time.
Before initiating any arbitration, the party intending to seek arbitration must first provide the other party with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. DNA My Horse will provide such notice by mail or email to the contact information on file for you, and you must provide such notice by mail to DNA My Horse, Attn: Legal Department, 203 Main Street #132, Flemington, NJ 08822, USA.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. However, if you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration would be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, DNA My Horse will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. If the arbitrator determines that the claim(s) you assert are frivolous, you agree to reimburse DNA My Horse for all fees associated with the arbitration that we paid on your behalf which you would otherwise be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.
A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding on each party, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages (each party waives any right to such damages). The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms, and failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must include a written explanation, and the proceedings shall remain confidential.
DNA My Horse and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither DNA My Horse nor you will arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative, or private attorney general action, and the arbitrator has no authority to conduct class or representative proceedings. If any provision of this agreement to arbitrate in this Section 26 is found unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no event will there be a class or representative arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice of any claim arising from or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arises, or it will be forever barred. (For purposes of this Section, these Terms and related transactions are subject to and governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16.)
Please Note: If you are a consumer outside the United States (for example, in Australia), nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or waive any rights or claims you may have under the laws of your country which cannot be excluded. In particular, if you are an Australian consumer, you have certain statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law which are not excluded by these Terms. The above provisions of this Section 26 apply except to the extent they are held unenforceable under applicable law.
(Legal Notice to New Jersey residents: The provisions in this section that (i) limit the period of time within which a claim may be asserted against DNA My Horse, and (ii) exclude certain damages, do not apply to New Jersey residents.)
27. Termination
These Terms will automatically terminate if you fail to comply with any of your obligations hereunder. DNA My Horse may also terminate or suspend your access to the Services (including the Site) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason. Termination will not limit any of DNA My Horse’s other rights or remedies. Sections 26, 24, and 25 (and any other provision which by its nature should survive) will survive termination of these Terms.
28. Copyright and Monitoring
The contents of the Site (including all information, files, documents, text, photographs, images, and other materials) are the property of the Company and/or our licensors and are protected by U.S. and international copyright laws and other intellectual property rights.

However, you may not modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute (by any means or in any manner) any material or information on or downloaded from the Site (including but not limited to text, graphics, code, and/or software) without the Company’s prior written consent, except where the Site expressly invites you to do so (for example, via forms or questionnaires). All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the Company and its licensors.
29. License
The Company grants you a limited license to access and make personal use of the Site, subject to these Terms. The Site (or any portion of it) may not be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without the Company’s express prior written consent.
30. Governing Law
These terms and conditions, and the services provided by DNA My Horse, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA (without regard to conflict of law principles). Nothing in these Terms limits the application of any consumer protection laws (such as the Australian Consumer Law) that may apply for your benefit. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New Jersey, USA for the resolution of any disputes, and you waive any objection to venue in New Jersey, except to the extent that applicable law provides you the right to bring an action elsewhere.

You waive any rights or remedies you may have for any misrepresentation that is not expressly included in these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or order documentation.

-
If any part of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties. The remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
-
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. The Company’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any right or provision.
