Disclaimer
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using our services. By accessing or using our diagnostic services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions set forth in this disclaimer. If you do not agree to these terms, please refrain from using our services.
Scope and Purpose
REEFLABS provides diagnostic services that utilize advanced DNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify pathogens, pests, and other organisms in aquarium water samples. The information provided through our services is strictly for informational and educational purposes and should not be construed as veterinary, medical, or professional advice.
No Veterinary or Medical Advice
The information provided in our reports is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition affecting aquarium inhabitants. While our analysis may highlight the presence of specific organisms, such findings should always be corroborated and supplemented by consultation with a qualified aquatic veterinarian, marine biologist, or other appropriate professional.
Under no circumstances shall the information provided by REEFLABS be relied upon as a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Limitations of Liability
- Accuracy of Results: While we employ industry-standard methods and best practices, we do not warrant or guarantee that the results of our analysis will be completely accurate, reliable, or free from error.
- Sample Quality: Results are based solely on the sample provided by the customer. REEFLABS is not liable for inaccurate results due to improper collection, contamination, degradation, or mishandling of the sample.
- External Factors: The complexity of aquarium ecosystems means that external factors (e.g., water chemistry, temperature, tank setup) may influence the health of aquatic organisms and are beyond the scope of our analysis.
- Limited Scope of Detection: Not all organisms or pathogens may be detected due to limitations in current DNA sequencing technology, database availability, or the concentration of organisms in the sample.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, REEFLABS disclaims all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to the use or inability to use our services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
