LAST UPDATED: May 25th, 2025
These Supplemental Terms of Service for Clinician Chat and AI Chat (“Supplemental Terms”), together with the Function Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”) and Function Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) govern your use of Function’s generative-AI powered informational chatbot (“AI Chat”) and (upon activation) clinician-based informational chat feature (“Clinician Chat”, and together with the AI Chat, the “Chat Offerings”). Capitalized terms used in these Supplemental Terms but not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning given to them elsewhere in the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
These Supplemental Terms are subject to and are hereby incorporated into the Terms of Service and, as applicable, the Privacy Policy. To the extent that there is any conflict between these Supplemental Terms and the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, the provision(s) in these Supplemental Terms will prevail, but solely to the extent of such conflict.
THESE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY GOVERN YOUR USE OF ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE BY US OR OTHER USERS IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE CHAT OFFERINGS. EVERY TIME YOU ACCESS OR USE THE CHAT OFFERINGS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THESE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY POLICY.
We may at our sole discretion modify these Supplemental Terms at any time and without advance notice. We will post notice of the date of the most recent update above.
- CHAT OFFERINGS. The Chat Offerings are informational health education tools that we make available to certain Users. Specifically, AI Chat is a generative AI-powered chatbot that responds to your Inquiries (defined below) with automatically generated replies and is designed to provide Users with access to educational resources and information related to your general health Inquiries. Clinician Chat is a chat feature that connects you with a human clinician who is available to provide Users with access to educational resources and information related to your general health Inquiries. You may only have access to the AI Chat or the Clinician Chat, at Function’s discretion. If you engage with the Chat Offerings, please refer to Section 5(d) set forth in the Terms of Service. Users can input prompts, questions, and inquiries (collectively, “Inquiries”) and the Chat Offerings are designed to provide output, replies, and responses to facilitate access to general resources and information related to your Inquiries (each, a “Response” and collectively, “Responses”). The Chat Offerings may reference and use certain information or data, including without limitation, your medical history, Lab Results, or information otherwise related to your Samples, that are stored in your Account (“Account Data”) to provide a Response to your Inquiries and you hereby expressly authorize Function to use such Account Data for purposes of providing Responses to your Inquiries. Any such Responses constitute “FH Content” as defined in the Terms of Service. AI Chat leverages certain generative AI tools (including artificial intelligence and deep learning platforms, algorithms, tools and models made available by third parties) (collectively the “AI Tools”) to collect, analyze, and respond to Inquiries. By using AI Chat, you hereby consent, authorize and direct Function to share and otherwise disclose all Inquiries and other User Content (including Account Data) you provide or otherwise make available to AI Chat with the AI Tools in order to complete your request, process and respond to your Inquiries and as otherwise described in these Supplemental Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, AI Tools are subject to Section 10 of the Terms of Service and you consent to the monitoring, recording and other processing (including by Function and other third-parties involved in offering or supporting the Chat Offerings) of your AI Chat and Clinician Chat interactions.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT AI CHAT IS NOT A HUMAN. AI CHAT IS AN AI-BASED TOOL AND IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR HUMAN INTERACTION AND ADVICE. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT AI CHAT IS NEW TECHNOLOGY AND FUNCTION DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY RESPONSES WILL BE HELPFUL OR ACCURATE. GENERATIVE AI TECHNOLOGY IS KNOWN TO HALLUCINATE OR OTHERWISE PROVIDE INCORRECT ANSWERS. YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS A TOOL AND RESOURCE BUT IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUPPLEMENT TO YOUR INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION AND JUDGMENT AND CONSULTATION WITH A PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER (EACH, A “HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL”).
