Terms of Service

CohortLayer is a research and analytics service. It tests genetic hypotheses against population-scale human cohorts and returns aggregate, population-level evidence to the requesting organisation. It is a tool to support internal research and decision-making.

CohortLayer is not a medical device, a diagnostic service, or a clinical decision-support tool. It does not provide individual-level genetic results, medical advice, or regulatory submissions. Results from CohortLayer are not a substitute for independent scientific review, regulatory guidance, or clinical judgement.

Access to CohortLayer is by request and at our discretion. We reserve the right to decline, limit, or terminate access at any time, with or without reason. We are not currently operating as an open-access or self-serve platform.

Any hypothesis, target, or question you submit to CohortLayer remains your intellectual property. We do not claim any rights over your inputs or the specific results returned to you. We do not share your hypotheses or results with any third party.

We treat all submitted hypotheses and results as confidential. We do not disclose them to other clients, partners, or the public. We may use aggregated, anonymised, non-attributable insights to improve our methods, but never in a way that could identify your organisation, your targets, or your questions.

CohortLayer does not collect, store, or process individual-level genetic data on behalf of clients. Analysis runs inside the secure environments of managed-access human cohorts. Only aggregate statistics are returned. See our Privacy notice for how we handle your contact information.

Aggregate genetic evidence is one input into a complex decision-making process. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but we make no warranties — express or implied — about the completeness, fitness for purpose, or commercial utility of any result. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hemlex's liability for any claim arising from use of CohortLayer is limited to the fees paid for the relevant service in the preceding three months.

We may update these terms as the service evolves. We will notify active clients of material changes. Continued use of the service after notification constitutes acceptance.

These terms are governed by the laws of Estonia. Any dispute arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Tallinn, Estonia.
