The App may collect Personal Information from you or those using the App under your direction or on your behalf in connection with your account. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for how we handle such Personal Information.
15.2.

You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
20.4.Pathogen Surveillance Data Disclaimers.
20.4.1. The Services may provide environmental pathogen surveillance data or features, sampling data or features, and related information or features – all of which are for informational and research purposes only. This data has not been independently verified, validated, or peer reviewed. It may contain errors, omissions, or artifacts inherent to the methods used in data collection, storage, and/or processing and is provided “as-is” without any warranties, including warranties of accuracy or completeness. This data is neither intended for clinical or diagnostic purposes nor should it be used for making public policy. You must not rely on this data to inform health care decisions, public health strategies, or regulatory actions. Use, interpretation, and/or any conclusions drawn from this data are your sole responsibility and you assume all risks and acknowledge these limitations. Such data, information, and/or features are not intended to constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional public health guidance, clinical judgment, or medical expertise.
20.4.2. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH OR MEDICAL ADVICE. THE PATHOGEN SURVEILLANCE DATA, ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING RESULTS, AND RELATED INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL AND RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS OR PERSONAL HEALTH, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH QUALIFIED PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS OR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
20.4.3. LUNGFISH MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE DATA, TESTING RESULTS, FEATURES, OR ANY OTHER DATA OR INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES. THE SERVICES ARE CONTINUALLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT, AND DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGIES, ANALYTICAL METHODS, FEATURES, AND REPORTED RESULTS MAY CHANGE OVER TIME.
20.4.4. DEVELOPMENTS IN PATHOGEN SURVEILLANCE SCIENCE, ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING TECHNIQUES, AND PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE MAY IMPACT THE DATA, FEATURES, AND INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE DATA, FEATURES, AND/OR INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS REFLECT THE MOST RECENT FINDINGS OR DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RELEVANT SCIENTIFIC FIELDS.
21. Indemnification; Hold Harmless; Exception.
You agree to indemnify and hold Lungfish, and its owners, officers, employees, vendors, agents, associates, suppliers, and/or partners (together the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, including attorney’s fees, arising out of your use or misuse of the Site or our Services in violation of these Terms, violation of the rights of any other person or entity, or any breach of the foregoing representations, warranties, and covenants. Indemnified Parties each reserve the right, at their own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify such and you agree to cooperate with such defense of these claims. Specifically, YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AGAINST ANY LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, DEMANDS, LOSSES, CLAIMS, COSTS, FEES (INCLUDING LEGAL FEES), AND EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY LEGAL PROCEEDING TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF OR BY YOU IN RELATION TO PRODUCTS, SERVICES, USER CONTENT, OR YOUR BREACH OF THESE TERMS. Your indemnification obligations under this Section are contingent upon: (a) the relevant Indemnified Party/Parties providing you with prompt written notice of such claim (except that your indemnification obligations shall not be limited except to the extent they would be prejudiced by a delay); (b) the relevant Indemnified Party/Parties providing reasonable cooperation to you, at your expense, in the defense and settlement of such claim; and (c) you having sole authority to defend or settle such claim, provided, however, you shall obtain the relevant Indemnified Party/Parties’ written consent prior to entering any settlement which admits guilt or culpability on the part of the relevant Indemnified Party/Parties or requires the relevant Indemnified Party/Parties to take any action (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section does not create any indemnification obligation for a participant with respect to Lungfish devices, environmental specimens, Pathogen Research Program data or results, or other materials governed by a separate written participation agreement, except to the extent a claim arises from the user’s unauthorized Account use, prohibited use of the Site or Services, unlawful User Content, infringement, or breach of these Terms outside the scope of that participation agreement.
22. Limitation of Liability and Damages.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM YOUR USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE LUNGFISH MATERIALS ON THE SITE OR THE SERVICES THEMSELVES, OR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH LUNGFISH, EVEN IF LUNGFISH OR A LUNGFISH AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN LUNGFISH AND YOU.
23. Dispute Resolution.
You and Lungfish will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute expeditiously through negotiations between appropriate management personnel or other authorized representatives. Should any dispute between you and Lungfish not be resolved by such good faith negotiations, you and Lungfish may agree to retain a sole arbitrator to resolve any dispute via binding arbitration. All arbitration proceedings will be held, and a transcribed record prepared, in English. Each party will have the right to submit discovery and take depositions of parties and non-parties in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the duration of the arbitration, each party will be responsible for its own expenses. All arbitration fees and expenses, including the arbitrators’ fees, will be advanced equally by the parties, provided, however, that the failure of a party to timely pay its portion of any arbitration fees will entitle the other party to a default award (if non-paying party is the respondent) or dismissal with prejudice (if non-paying party is the claimant). Nevertheless, the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and judgment on such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. You and Lungfish otherwise agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in King County, Washington, to resolve any dispute arising out of these Terms or your access to or use of the Site or our Services, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. Nothing contained in this Section is intended to, nor shall it, limit Lungfish’s right to (a) obtain, in court, injunctive relief and/or other equitable remedies against any actual or threatened conduct that may cause it irreparable and/or similar harm, and/or (b) carry out any of its rights pursuant to these Terms, including, for example, and without limitation, termination, as applicable.
24. Contractual Limitation Period on Bringing Claims.
EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IT BRINGS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
25. Class Action Waiver.
YOU AND LUNGFISH AGREE THAT YOU AND LUNGFISH 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. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND LUNGFISH AGREE OTHERWISE, ANY ARBITRATOR OR COURT MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR OR COURT MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
26.Consumer Protection Savings Clause.
Consumer protection laws in some jurisdictions might require that these Terms be governed by the laws of your jurisdiction and heard by competent courts in your jurisdiction. In addition, such laws may prohibit mandatory waivers of your right to be part of a class action or may prohibit contractual limitations on the time to commence legal proceedings. If these laws apply to you, such limitations may not be applicable.
27.Data Withdrawal.
Users and participating sites may request removal of their contributed data from the Services by contacting us at info@lung.fish. Upon receiving a verified data removal request, Lungfish will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or de-link the requested data from active use on the platforms. Data removal applies prospectively from the date of the removal request. Previously aggregated, de-identified, or published data that has been incorporated into research outputs, public reports, or the open data portal prior to the removal request cannot be retroactively redacted. If you are a participating site and wish to discontinue your participation in the program, please contact us to discuss the scope and timeline of data removal. Data removal requests do not require deletion of specimens, research records, analyses, deidentified or aggregated datasets, publications, or scientific records retained under a separate participation agreement or other applicable research documentation.
28.Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Research Data.
Research data and scientific information published through or in connection with the Services are aggregated and deidentified; thus, no individuals are identified. Environmental pathogen surveillance research performed by Lungfish generally does not constitute human subject research requiring approval from an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) or is exempt research as determined by a relevant IRB. IRB interpretation and regulatory guidance may change over time. If applicable, participating sites or participating organizations should refer to the applicable participation agreement, program documentation, IRB determination, or other research documentation for requirements applicable to their participation. Participating sites or participating organizations may withdraw from Pathogen Research Program activities as described in the applicable participation agreement or other applicable research documentation. If you have questions about IRB requirements applicable to your participation with our Site or Services, please contact us at info@lung.fish.

In compliance with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13) without the verifiable consent of their parent or guardian. If we learn that we have inadvertently obtained information in violation of applicable laws prohibiting collection of information from a child under thirteen (13) without proper consent, upon proper notice, authority, and necessary confirmation of such, we will work to promptly delete this information.
29.2.Electronic Signatures and E-SIGN Consent. By using our Services, you consent to receive agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications electronically, including via email, text, in-app notifications, or by posting on the Site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications provided to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, including under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act), 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq., and applicable state law equivalents, and that with your electronic signature or acknowledgement you intend to be legally bound. You may withdraw this consent by contacting us at info@lung.fish, but withdrawal may limit your ability to use certain Services. To receive electronic communications, you will need a device with internet access, a current web browser, and a valid email address.
29.3.Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. EACH OF YOU AND LUNGFISH HEREBY EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, CROSS-CLAIMS, OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS) ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS. FURTHER, EACH OF YOU AND LUNGFISH HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE OTHER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER WOULD NOT IN THE EVENT OF SUCH LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION. EACH OF YOU AND LUNGFISH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS SECTION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THEM, RESPECTIVELY, TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS.
29.4.Force Majeure; Waiver. Lungfish (or its owners, officers, employees, vendors, agents, associates, suppliers, and/or partners) is not liable or responsible, nor shall be deemed to have defaulted under or breached these Terms, for any failure to perform or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms due to an event of force majeure. An event of force majeure is any event or circumstance beyond Lungfish’s reasonable control, such as war, hostilities, act of God, earthquake, flood, fire, or other natural disaster, strike or labor conditions, material shortage, epidemic, disease, denial of service attack, government action, or failure of utilities, transportation facilities, or communication or electronic systems. A waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of these Terms.
29.5.Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
29.6.Assignment. These Terms and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Lungfish without restriction. Additionally, Personal Information may be shared with or sold to actual or potential buyers (and their agents and advisors) in connection with any actual or proposed purchase, merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of Lungfish company assets, or transition of service to another provider, provided that we inform the buyer or transferee that it must use such Personal Information only for the purposes disclosed in our Privacy Policy.
29.7.Headings; Interpretation. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of these Terms, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. In these Terms, “will” is intended to create a mandatory obligation where the context so requires.
29.8.Entire Agreement; Conflicts. These Terms, including the recitals hereto and as revised or supplemented by Guidelines or amendments in our discretion, constitute the entire agreement between us and you relating to the subject matter herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. All provisions which, by their nature, are intended to survive termination will survive any termination of these Terms. Certain research programs, participant Accounts, and related research devices and data may also be governed by a separate written participation agreement or other program documentation. If these Terms conflict with any such written agreement, the written agreement controls with respect to program participation, research devices, environmental specimens, research data, withdrawal, no-cost participation, and indemnification matters; these Terms control with respect to use of the Site, App, Accounts, data hub, open data portal, and other online Services.
