Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-11-04

These Terms are a contract between you and the company that operates codegen.eu. They are written in plain language on purpose. Where a sentence is legally load-bearing we say so. If you do not accept them, do not upload a file.

1. Who we are

codegen.eu is operated by GTCA23 SRL, a private limited company registered in Romania.

• Registered office: Str. Constantin C. Nottara 5, Vladiceasca, Ilfov 077168, Romania
• Trade Register: EUID ROONRC.J2026032062007
• Contact: contact@codegen.eu

The same details are on the Imprint. "We", "us" and "our" mean GTCA23 SRL.

These Terms apply to every use of the site, whether or not you upload a file. Uploading a file or paying for the unlock also means that you accept them.

2. What the service is

codegen.eu provides information about associations reported in published research between common genetic variants and traits or conditions, for personal research and education. The service is not intended to diagnose, predict, prevent, monitor or treat any disease or condition. It is not a clinical or diagnostic genetic test and is not a substitute for advice from a physician, pharmacist or genetic counsellor. It is not a clinical pharmacogenomic test and has not been validated for prescribing decisions. codegen.eu is not a medical device or an in vitro diagnostic (IVD).

In practice the service does three things: it reads the raw data file you upload, matches the variants in it against a catalog of entries prepared from published research, and shows you those entries with the studies behind each one. Part of the catalog is free to read after upload; one payment opens the rest (Section 5).

Sources. The entries draw on PubMed-indexed papers and preprints, dbSNP, the GWAS Catalog, ClinVar, OMIM and other public databases. We do not use SNPedia (snpedia.com) or SNPedia-derived content as a source, and we do not reproduce, paraphrase or cite it. We do not claim that these sources are complete, current or free of inaccuracies; limitations in them carry into the entries (Section 7).

Before you upload. Some people feel anxious about genetic results; this is normal. If you feel very anxious, talk to a doctor or genetic counsellor before uploading. If we cannot read your file, no record is created and nothing is charged; payment is only possible after your file has been read.

3. Eligibility

You may use the service only if all of the following are true:

1. You are 18 or older.
2. The file you upload contains your own genetic data, or that of an adult who has given you explicit permission to upload it for this use.
3. The file does not contain a minor's data. We do not accept it even from a parent or guardian.

A genetic file also contains information about your biological relatives, who did not take part in your decision. You are responsible for the decision to upload it and for what you do with what you learn.

4. Your file and what we keep

We do not keep the file you upload or the reports built from it. The file is held only while a report is built and is then deleted; the report data is deleted when you log out or after about six hours of inactivity.

We keep an irreversible cryptographic hash derived from your file so that you can come back by uploading the same file again, and with it your paid status, your favorites in encrypted form, your payment reference in a form we cannot read back, and the acknowledgements you gave at upload and at payment. That hash is personal data and the Privacy Policy describes it in full. You can remove the hash and everything tied to it at any time with Delete my record in the exit menu; paid status cannot be restored afterwards.

Because the file is also how you sign in, anyone who holds it can regenerate your reports by uploading it. You are responsible for whom you give your file, your reports or access to them.

5. Free and paid features, price, payment, refunds

Free. After upload you can search every variant in your file and read the free entries: the nutrigenomics reports and a small set of variants that go with them.

Paid. One payment opens every entry and report for the file you uploaded. €24, one payment. The total you pay, VAT included, is shown for your country on the checkout page before you pay. There is no subscription and nothing renews. The unlock takes effect when Creem confirms your payment; nothing is opened before that.

Payment processing. Payments are handled by Creem, operated by Armitage Labs OÜ, an Estonian company (registry code 16977866), acting as our Merchant of Record. Creem is the seller of record for the payment, collects VAT for your country and issues the receipt. We never see your card details.

What the unlock covers. Your unlock does not expire while the service operates, and reports are updated over time at no extra cost. Section 6 of the Terms explains how we handle changes and removals.

14-day refund. If you are not satisfied for any reason, email contact@codegen.eu within 14 days of purchase, quoting the payment reference from your receipt, and we will refund the full price. This is in addition to your statutory right of withdrawal, which we do not ask you to waive. After a refund, the paid unlock tied to your file is removed.

Price changes. We may change the price for future purchases. A change does not affect a payment you have already made.

6. Changes to the service

We may change features of the service, including removing a report or feature, where there is a valid reason, a change in law or regulation, a change in the scientific evidence, a security requirement, or a change in a third-party service we rely on, and at no additional cost to you. Where a change negatively affects your access to or use of paid content in more than a minor way, we will inform you in advance with the date of the change by a notice on the site and, where we have it, by the email address used for payment. You may then end the contract within 30 days of being informed, or of the change if later, and receive a refund of the price you paid. To do so, contact contact@codegen.eu.

Discontinued features

Polygenic risk scores and some other features were discontinued on 2026-11-04 as EU product-liability and medical-device rules for health software change. Anyone who paid before 2026-11-04 may request a full refund until 2026-12-04.

Genes-and-medicines (pharmacogenomic) content was discontinued on the same date: the pharmacogenomic reports, the entries filed under that category and the pharmacogenomic sections of other entries are no longer shown. Entries that mention a medicine elsewhere describe published associations only. Never change a medication without talking to your prescriber.

Notice, 2026-11-04. codegen.eu no longer offers polygenic risk scores and some other features, as EU product-liability and medical-device rules for health software change. Polygenic scores were relative, population-level signals and were never a diagnosis. If you made, or are considering, any medical decision based on one, please discuss it with your doctor. If you paid for unlocked reports before 2026-11-04, you can request a full refund by emailing contact@codegen.eu with your payment reference until 2026-12-04 (30 days from this notice).

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, for example when the law changes or when we add or remove a feature. The date at the top changes with them and the text in force is always at /terms. A change that affects you in more than a minor way is announced on the site before it takes effect; continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

7. Limits of the reports

Limits of this report

Genetic interpretation has known sources of uncertainty. Here is what causes each one and what this service does about it.

Genotyping input. Consumer arrays miscall a small share of variants and omit many others, and providers differ in strand and allele naming. We check the file's format before processing, show each variant's strand orientation on its page, and only create entries for variants your file contains. A report covers only the variants it lists; the absence of a flagged variant in your file does not rule out other variants related to the same condition.

Evidence. Published associations vary in study size, replication and the ancestry of the people studied. Associations found mainly in people of European ancestry may not carry over to others. Every entry links the studies behind it so you can weigh the evidence yourself.

Other services. Other services read different variants or weigh them differently, so their results for the same file may differ from ours, and both may differ from a clinical test.

Summaries. Entry summaries are prepared with AI assistance from the cited sources and are updated when our catalog is refreshed, so the wording of an entry can change between refreshes; the variants and sources behind it do not change with the wording. Any individual entry may contain an inaccuracy. Every entry links its sources so you can check it, and you can report an entry to us at the address below.

Scope. These reports describe associations reported in research. They explain only a small part of the heritability of most traits, do not account for how variants interact, and do not cover rare high-impact variants your file may not contain, family history, lifestyle, diet, environment or clinical measurements. They are not a clinical genetic test. An association is not a prediction: carrying a variant associated with a condition does not mean you have or will develop it, and not carrying it does not mean you will not.

Change. Research moves, and entries are updated as the published evidence changes, so a report generated later may differ from an earlier one.

What to do with it. Do not start, stop or change any medication, screening or treatment because of an entry here. If a result concerns you, talk to a physician or genetic counsellor, who can order a clinical test.

Corrections. questions@codegen.eu. We read and answer every report.

The same text is shown on every report and variant page under "Limits of this report".

8. Corrections

If an entry looks inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, write to questions@codegen.eu and name the variant or report. We read and answer every report and correct the catalog where the sources support it.

9. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not:

• use the service, or anything you read on it, to make clinical, prescribing, screening or insurance decisions about yourself or anyone else, or present a report to anyone as a medical document;
• upload another person's data without their explicit permission, or any minor's data;
• use the service to make decisions about another person's employment, insurance, credit, housing or similar matters;
• try to re-identify any other user;
• scrape, bulk-download, probe, overload or reverse-engineer the service, or circumvent its access controls;
• use the service where direct-to-consumer genetic analysis is prohibited for you. Checking that is your responsibility.

We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaches these conditions. We may also end access where the law requires it or where we stop offering the service in your country; the refund rule in Section 6 then applies to a payment you have made.

Intellectual property. The site, its code, templates and the text of the entries belong to GTCA23 SRL or its licensors. You receive a personal, non-transferable licence to use the service for your own research and education. Your raw genetic data is and remains yours; we claim no rights in it, and we do not keep it.

10. Liability

Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

Within the limits allowed by the law of your country of residence, we are not liable for loss from a breach of these Terms that could not reasonably have been foreseen when you accepted them. This includes direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary loss relating, but not limited, to:

1. loss that was not caused by our breach of these Terms;
2. your use of, or inability to use, the service;
3. any action you take on the basis of an entry, report or other information you receive from the service;
4. access to or use of your reports that we did not cause;
5. statements or conduct of a third party, including the content of sources we link to.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

Within the limits allowed by the law of your country of residence, we give no warranty that the service, or the entries, reports or other information you obtain through it, will meet your expectations. By accepting these Terms you also acknowledge that:

1. you use the service at your own discretion and risk, and you are solely responsible for any damage to your device or loss of data that results from downloading or using material obtained through the service;
2. no advice or information, whether oral or written, that you obtain from us or through the service creates a warranty not expressly stated in these Terms;
3. the service does not qualify as medical or professional advice on your health and does not substitute the advice of qualified professionals.

12. Jurisdiction and applicable law

Any dispute with us arising out of or relating to these Terms is governed by Romanian law, regardless of your country of origin or where you access the service. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in the European Union, you benefit from the additional protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence, which means that you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with these Terms in the country where you live.

Before any formal step, write to contact@codegen.eu; most problems are solved by email within days. If we cannot settle a dispute with you as a consumer, you may turn to the alternative dispute resolution procedure of the Romanian consumer protection authority, Autoritatea Națională pentru Protecția Consumatorilor (ANPC), through its Directorate for Alternative Dispute Resolution (SAL), anpc.ro/ce-este-sal, or to the consumer authority of the EU country where you live. If a provision of these Terms is found invalid, the rest stays in force. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the service.
