Introduction
Registration
Orders
You may place an Order for Products via Our Website.
We are not obliged to supply the Products until We have receipt payment of the Fees, accepted the Order and confirmed dispatch or otherwise notified You that the Order has been accepted.
We reserve the right to cancel any Order where: (1) the Product is unavailable; (2) there is an error in pricing or Product description; (3) You do not meet the Eligibility Criteria for the supply of the Product; or (4) We are otherwise unable to fulfil the Order. We will refund any Fees paid upon cancellation of any Order by Us.
We will deliver the Product to the address for delivery nominated in the Order (“Delivery Address”) and corresponding delivery charges may apply. Risk in the Products passes to You on delivery to the Delivery Address. Where Products are delivered by a third-party carrier, delivery will be deemed to occur when the Products are delivered to the Delivery Address.
Ownership of the Products passes to You once We have received payment in full for the Products, including any applicable delivery charges.
Payment Terms
You acknowledge that the supply of the Products and Our performance of any part of the Services is conditional upon Us receiving payment of the Fees in advance. We do not represent or guarantee that the Products will be supplied, or that the Services will be performed or completed, within any specific timeframe, and We will not be liable for any delay in the timely delivery of the Products or performance of the Services.
All Fees are charged in the Local Currency applicable to Your region of residence. You acknowledge and agree that We may change Our Fees at any time. We will endeavour to notify You via the Website of any changes to the Fees before they come into effect, however this may not always be possible.
If You make any payments with a credit or charge card or an online payment account, You warrant that You are the cardholder or account holder and that the billing information provided is accurate. You authorise Us to charge the designated payment method for the total amount of the Fees, plus any applicable taxes. You acknowledge and agree that We may provide Your payment information to third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, Shopify, or AfterPay) to enable Us to process the charge.
Where applicable, You agree to pay any applicable goods and services tax (GST), value added tax (VAT), sales tax, and other similar taxes imposed in connection with the supply of the Products and Services in Your region.
You are responsible for all internet service provider fees, telecommunication and other charges required for Your connection to, or use of, Our Products or Services.
Refunds and Returns

Products that are customised, used, or opened (including diagnostic kits) may not be eligible for return unless faulty. Perishable or time-sensitive items may also be excluded unless defective.
For the avoidance of doubt, biological samples sent to Us will not be returned to You for any reason.
Service Requests, Services and Sample Collection
Any Registered User may submit a Service Request.
You must not submit a Service Request on behalf of another person unless You are (1) a Health Professional engaged to provide health-related services to the Patient; or (2) a parent or legal guardian of a Patient who is a child between 2 years and 18 years of age.
Upon receiving a Service Request (as well as any additional consents We may require) and payment of the relevant Fees, We will send the Patient a Sample Kit, subject to availability. We will not be liable for any delay in providing the Patient with a Sample Kit. We may decline to send a Sample Kit for any reason, in which case We will refund payment of any relevant Fee.
The Patient must collect, package and send the Sample to Us within 12 months of Us sending the Patient a Sample Kit. We will only accept Samples sent using the prescribed Sample Kit and collected and packaged in accordance with Our instructions. Certain Services may require more than one Sample over a period of time.
If the Patient fails to provide Us with a Sample within 12 months of Us sending the Patient a Sample Kit, We are not obliged to accept any Sample from the Patient and shall not be liable to refund payment of any relevant Fee.
Subject to Our obligations under applicable law, We are not obliged to provide You with a refund or replacement if You or the Patient damages, misuses or misplaces a Sample Kit. If the Patient requires a replacement Sample Kit, We may charge You a replacement fee.
All Samples will be at Your risk until received by Us. We are not liable for any Samples damaged in the sampling process or lost or damaged in transit. In such circumstances, We may choose to provide the Patient with a new Sample Kit at no cost, or charge You a replacement fee, at Our discretion.
Each Sample Kit has a unique identifier which the Patient must activate. When the Patient activates the Sample Kit, the Patient’s details will be associated with it in Our systems. You warrant that any Sample You or any Patient sends to Us contains only materials from the Patient’s body and You irrevocably consent to Us carrying out Services on that Sample. Where You have submitted a Service Request on behalf of another person, You warrant that the Patient consents to Us carrying out Services on their Sample and has read and understood these Terms.
It is acknowledged that Microba Pty Limited ABN 30 628 603 225 is the entity within Our group that will perform the laboratory and analytical Services.
We will carry out the Services using reasonable care and skill, however We make no guarantee that We will be able to successfully perform the Services on a Sample (for example, if a Patient’s Sample does not contain sufficient biological material or the results do not meet Our accuracy standards). If We determine in Our absolute discretion that the Services cannot be accurately and safely carried out on the Sample provided (“Failed Sample“), We will notify You and may request that the Patient submit another Sample. In the event of a Failed Sample, We may choose to provide the Patient with a new Sample Kit at no cost or charge You a replacement fee, at Our discretion.

Referrals from Health Professionals
We may enter referral arrangements with selected Health Professionals. Under these arrangements, the Health Professional will make arrangements for a Patient to access the Services and will be responsible for obtaining the Patient’s explicit consent to the use of their personal data in connection with the provision of the Services. Where the Patient is a minor or other individual lacking requisite legal capacity, consent will be obtained from that individual’s parent, guardian or enduring power of attorney.
Where You elect to subscribe for Services directly from Us (whether on referral from a Health Professional or otherwise), You acknowledge, consent, and agree that:

While We endeavour to verify that Authorised Health Professionals hold appropriate registrations, You acknowledge that We do not, and are not obliged to, conduct background checks on every Authorised Health Professional or verify all information they may provide.
Our recognition of a person as a “Microba Informed Practitioner” in no way implies Our endorsement of that person and should not be considered advice or a recommendation to engage in any relationship with that person (whether for health-related services or otherwise).
You agree that We are not responsible or liable for any damages or loss that may arise from: (1) Your Report being used or disclosed to a Health Professional in accordance with these Terms; (2) any act or omission by any Health Professional (including with respect to the use, storage or disclosure of a Report or any other personal information); or (3) any interaction You or a Patient may have with any Health Professional.

Your Subscription is not transferable unless specifically authorised by Us. We may terminate Your Subscription with immediate effect if You fail to pay any applicable Fees when due, or where We suspect Your Subscription is being used in a way not intended by Us, and We will not be obliged to provide a refund in respect of such termination.
