All test results and recommendations do not constitute a promise of cure or efficacy and are not intended to detect, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Decisions on the use of the test results are the sole responsibility of the consumer.
§ 2 Subject matter of the contract
2.1 Upon conclusion of the contract, the consumer receives a link to the submission form as a PDF document by e-mail. This form constitutes an essential and digital component of the agreed service. The provision of services by Medicross begins with the provision and sending of the e-mail in which the form can be downloaded.
Before concluding the contract, the consumer was expressly informed that downloading the submission form, which is to be considered digital content, extinguishes the right of withdrawal pursuant to Art. 16 lit. m of the EU Consumer Rights Directive. By downloading the form, the consumer declares that he waives the right of withdrawal. In accordance with § 8, Medicross tests the consumer's submitted sample material and provides the test results in the form of PDF documents.

This may be a partner pharmacy or Madana GmbH in particular. Medicross decides at its own discretion which manufacturing company is commissioned with production. In this case, Medicross does not become a contractual partner of the consumer; the contract for production is concluded exclusively with the respective producer.
2.2.a. Individual nutrient formulas are always excluded from the right of withdrawal because they cannot be sold elsewhere due to their individuality. Further information can be found under § 7.

Any improper or repeated redemption may be subject to criminal prosecution.

§ 4 Submission
4.1 After conclusion of the contract, the consumer receives a submission form 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. For reasons of sustainability, no physical products such as test kits or similar will be sent to the consumer. Consumers from the EU send this submission form together with their sample material to Medicross in Germany to the following address:
Medicross
Heuriedweg 20
88131 Lindau (Lake Constance)
Germany/Germany
Consumers from outside EU, Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the following address:
Medicross
Herrengasse 30
9490 Vaduz
Liechtenstein
4.2 The expenses and costs associated with sending the sample material to Medicross shall be borne by the consumer.
4.3 We recommend sending the sample material by registered mail to ensure tracking via a tracking number. If speedy delivery by the shipping service provider is important to you, we recommend sending the sample by express mail.
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 have to be taken by a doctor or healthcare professional.
4.5 The sample must be clearly and completely labeled.
4.6 The hair samples should preferably be taken from the occipital protuberance and directly from the scalp, in a suitable quantity, if possible from a strand of hair.
4.7 At best, the hair strand should be fixed with a thread before cutting to prevent the segments from shifting.
4.8 Body hair (such as armpit, beard, pubic or chest hair) can also be removed as a substitute or alternative.
4.9 A suitable form must be selected for storage and shipment, 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. Refrigeration or freezing should be avoided to protect the material from moisture. Moisture and crystal formation can lead to decomposition of analytes and matrix.

5.4 The Medicross service includes the analysis of the sample material sent in by the consumer with regard to certain parameters. A value is determined for each parameter.
5.5 The procedures, methods and device models used by Medicross belong to the field of complementary medicine. In conventional medicine, our measurement method is not the subject of scientific research. The measurement procedure underlying the testing is not fully reproducible and is not recognised or certified by conventional medical authorities. Our tests are not biochemical, molecular biological or cellular analyses. They have no medical purpose.
§ 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.

B. The intolerance test does NOT include allergy testing. If the consumer is interested in allergy testing, it is recommended that an additional medical service is used.
C. The analysis of the micronutrients shows a requirement as a percentage value, which is to be understood as a guide value. It is expressly pointed out that these are not deficiency symptoms. If the consumer is interested in testing for deficiency symptoms, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
6.2 The preparation and transmission of a result shall take place by e-mail within up to 18 working days after receipt of the sample material by Medicross.
The consumer is responsible for classifying Medicross as a trustworthy sender in his e-mail program. If messages from Medicross are assigned to the spam folder, this shall nevertheless be deemed to be access to the test result.
