Not medical advice
Your Forever Chemical (PFAS) test results and reports are provided for research, informational, and educational purposes only. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease and are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified health provider with any questions about your health, and never disregard professional medical advice because of something you read on the Website. Any reliance on information provided through the Services is solely at your own risk.

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time at our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of the Website afterward. Your continued use of the Website after we post revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

We may withdraw or amend the Website, and any service or material we provide through it, at our sole discretion and without notice.
