If any information is untrue or incorrect, Medicross shall not be liable for any consequential damages.

3.7. The consumer has the right to redeem the service within one year from the date of purchase. After that, the claim expires.
§ 4 Submission
4.1. After conclusion of the contract, the consumer receives a submission sheet as a PDF by e-mail for self-printing, on which information about the person, previous or parallel tests and the type of test purchased must be provided. No physical products such as test kits or similar are shipped to consumers for sustainability reasons. The EU consumer sends this submission form together with his sample material to Medicross in Germany to the following address:
Medicross
Heuriedweg 20
88131 Lindau (Bodensee)
Germany/Germany
Consumers from Switzerland and Liechtenstein and outside the EU to the following address:
Medicross
Herrengasse 30
9490 Vaduz
Liechtenstein
4.2. The effort as well as the costs around the shipment of the sample material to Medicross are borne by the consumer.
4.3. We recommend sending the sample material by registered mail to ensure tracking via a tracking number. If a speedy delivery by the shipping service provider is important to you, we recommend sending the sample by express.
4.4. When analyzing hair samples and interpreting the results, many special features must be taken into account compared to the analysis of other biological materials, due to the type (solid) and heterogeneity of the matrix, stability of analytes and possible influences during sample preparation. As the collection of a hair sample is non-invasive, it does not need to be taken by a doctor or healthcare professional.
4.5. The sample must be clearly and completely labeled.
4.6. If possible, the hair samples should be taken from the occipital protuberance and directly from the scalp in a suitable quantity, preferably from a strand of hair.
4.7. Ideally, the strand of hair should be secured with a thread before cutting to prevent the segments from shifting.
4.8. Alternatively, body hair (such as armpit, beard, pubic or chest hair) can also be removed.
4.9. A suitable form must be chosen for storage and shipping, such as filter paper as the primary packaging material in an envelope.
4.10. Hair samples must be properly transported at normal room temperature, dry and protected from light, and stored before or after testing. Cooling or freezing should be avoided to protect the material from moisture. Moisture and crystal formation can lead to decomposition of analytes and matrix.
§ 5 Test execution
5.1. The services provided by Medicross include the following obligations:
A. the sending of all necessary documents for carrying out the test (order confirmation, submission form, instructions, link to the questionnaire) by e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the consumer.
B. the receipt of the sample material and the analysis as part of the ordered service.
C. the creation of a result as a PDF document and sending it by e-mail, the professional destruction of the consumer’s sample material immediately after the analysis.

5.4. The Medicross service includes the analysis of the consumer’s submitted sample material with regard to certain parameters. A value is determined for each parameter.
5.5. A certified and registered device according to class IIa of the EU medical device regulation EN 13485 is used for the tests. The procedures, methods or device models used by Medicross belong to the field of complementary directions. Within the special therapy directions, our measurement procedure is recognized as a proven diagnostic method. In conventional medicine, on the other hand, our measurement method is not the subject of scientific research. The measurement procedure on which the test is based is not subject to complete reproducibility and is not recognized or certified by conventional medical authorities.
§ 6 Test results
6.1. Test results are provided in the form of PDF documents. The result contains approximate values and color visualizations. Consumers have the opportunity to view an example of a result before placing their order.
A. In the case of incompatibility tests, all parameters that have not reacted above a threshold value are hidden.
B. The intolerance test does NOT include testing for allergies. If the consumer is interested in testing for allergies, the use of an additional medical service is recommended.

6.2. The preparation and transmission of a result will be done by e-mail within up to 18 working days after Medicross has received the sample material.
The consumer is responsible for classifying Medicross as a trusted sender in their email program. If messages from Medicross are assigned to the spam folder, this is nevertheless considered as receipt of the test result.

§ 7 Individual nutrient formula
7.1. Based on the results of a micronutrient test, an individual nutrient formula can be produced for the consumer.
