Home / Products / NIPT Solutions / MyNIPT Portal User Access Terms

In these User Access Terms, “we“, “us” and “our” means Yourgene Health UK Ltd trading as Yourgene Health (a company registered in England, no: 8436676), and “you” and “your” means the organisation (e.g. NHS Trust, company or partnership) using the MyNIPT® Portal. The MyNIPT® Portal is a data exchange portal (including the data supplied with it) (MyNIPT® Portal) for the exchange of results from IONA® screening tests, or other named tests powered by the IONA® test system (e.g. SAFE test) that measure the likelihood that a pregnant woman is carrying a fetus with Trisomy 21, 18 or 13 (and can optionally provide information on the sex of the fetus). In consideration of our allowing you to use the MyNIPT® Portal you agree to be bound by these User Access Terms.

We are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that any access to individuals’ personal information (including health information) is protected from misuse, interference and loss, from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, and is restricted to authorised persons and for authorised purposes only. We also need to protect the MyNIPT® Portal from viruses, other malware and unauthorised entry.

In consideration of our providing you with access to the MyNIPT® Portal, you agree:

  • The MyNIPT® Portal is provided for you to use solely (a) to register samples, monitor their progress, answer queries and access results of the non-invasive screening test (NIPT screening test) powered by the Premaitha IONA Test system of a blood sample from a pregnant woman provided by to you/us for screening; (b) to store templates of current patient consent forms for screenings and current templates of correspondence used to communicate with such pregnant women; and (c) to archive copies of the patient consent forms for such screenings and letters between you and such patients directly about such screenings.  You will only access the MyNIPT® Portal for these reasons and for no other reasons.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that you have back-up copies of all templates, patient consent forms and correspondence used to communicate with pregnant women, which are stored on the MyNIPT® Portal.  We may delete any out-of-date templates.
  • You are responsible for all costs associated with your use of the MyNIPT® Portal, including without limitation, all telecommunication costs, data usage and systems to view information provided by the MyNIPT® Portal.

  • To ensure the appropriate use of information or functionality provided through your Laboratory/Clinic Administrator’s and your Registered Users’ log on details. We will not be liable for any losses or damage incurred by inappropriate or inaccurate use of the MyNIPT® Portal by you to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to ensure that unauthorised people cannot gain access to the MyNIPT® Portal and any confidential information, where such access by unauthorised people is reasonably within your control to prevent.
  • To comply with all data and security legislation, standards, policies and procedures applicable to you and only to use, hold and distribute data or information accessed via the MyNIPT® Portal accordingly and, in particular, to treat any information which you save or print from the MyNIPT® Portal as confidential medical information and store it accordingly. Where such data is no longer required, it must be destroyed in a secure manner in accordance with any applicable legislation, standards, policies and procedures.
  • To comply with all privacy laws, codes and guidelines including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),  the Data Protection Act 2018, codes of practice and obligations of professional confidentiality relevant to your profession and to take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of any Registered Users and employees who will have access to personal data.
  • In using the MyNIPT® Portal you may have access to confidential information including, without limitation, personal data in respect of patients (Confidential Information). You will hold any Confidential Information in confidence and, unless required by law, shall not: (a) make any Confidential Information available to any third party (other than to a party to whom you are satisfied that you may legally disclose such Confidential Information to); or (b) use the Confidential Information for any purpose otherwise than in the proper performance of reviewing your patients’ screening results and passing such results to the relevant patent; (c) or permit or cause any unauthorised disclosure of Confidential Information through any failure to exercise due care and diligence.

  • We make no representation or warranty that the MyNIPT® Portal will be available at all times.  It may be unavailable for reasons including, without limitation, due to scheduled maintenance, service upgrades, or other mechanical or electronic failures.  The MyNIPT® Portal and all information on it are provided “as is” without warranty or condition of any kind (except as may be agreed separately in writing between you and us) and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) all warranties and conditions with regard to the MyNIPT® Portal are excluded, including without limitation, all implied warranties or conditions of satisfactory quality and fitness for purpose, title, and non-infringement; and (b) we shall not be liable for (i) any error, interruption or delay in operation in or of the MyNIPT®Portal or damage to your network, computers or peripherals related to downloading any materials in from the MyNIPT® Portal, or (ii) any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages, damages for loss of use, data, or profits, arising out of or in any way connected with your use or the performance of the MyNIPT® Portal, with the delay or inability to use the MyNIPT® Portal; whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of damages. Your exclusive remedy is to stop using the MyNIPT® Portal.
  • We may modify the terms, conditions, and notices under which the MyNIPT® Portal is offered by sending you an email detailing such changes or posting a notice of such changes on the MyNIPT® Portal.  Your continued use of the MyNIPT® Portal after the sending of such email or posting of such notice shall constitute your agreement to be bound by any such changes.
