These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Reinhart Genealogy’s platform, services, and content—a space where genealogical inquiry meets hereditary health mapping, offering insights no DNA kit alone can unravel. By exploring your family’s medical history with us, you acknowledge that the data you uncover is for informational and educational purposes only, not a substitute for professional medical advice. We invite you to reflect on the interwoven threads of ancestry and health, but ask that you treat our tools as a starting point for conversation with your healthcare provider. Your use of this platform constitutes your acceptance of these terms, which are a living agreement between us, grounded in mutual respect for both science and story.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. Just as genetic patterns follow predictable lines of inheritance, our legal obligations follow the framework of United States law and, specifically, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of Reinhart Genealogy shall first be addressed through good-faith, informal negotiation—a process that mirrors the collaborative spirit of family history research. Should that fail, the dispute shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, with each party bearing its own costs unless otherwise provided by law. You agree that any claim must be brought individually, not as a class proceeding, and that arbitration shall take place in the county of your residence or, if you reside outside the United States, in Delaware. By choosing to engage with our science-meets-ancestry platform, you waive your right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action, recognizing that this path offers a fair, efficient resolution—much like tracing a single lineage rather than untangling every branch at once.
Modifications. Our understanding of hereditary health risks and genealogical connections evolves, and so too may these Terms. When we make material changes—whether to align with new research, regulatory guidance, or community feedback—we will notify you by posting an updated version on our website and, if you have provided an email address, sending a brief notice to that account. Your continued use of Reinhart Genealogy after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically, much as you might revisit a family tree to add a long-lost cousin or correct a misattributed ancestor. For any questions about these Terms, especially regarding how they apply to your health-related genealogy research, please refer to our Contact Us page. There you will find the channels through which we can continue this conversation—one built on curiosity, science, and the stories that connect us across generations.
