Description
DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
In this disclaimer and release of liability,
“Client” means you, the person who has submitted a sample to Perennia for laboratory analysis;
“False Negative Test” means a test result that is negative for a virus or a pathogen that contains the presence of a virus or a pathogen;
“Perennia” means Perennia Food and Agriculture Corporation and includes the Province of Nova Scotia, Ministers, directors, employees, agents and the Plant Health Lab;
“Services” means the laboratory testing analysis conducted by Perennia of a sample submitted by the Client.
Please be advised that where a sample, provided by the Client, has tested negative for the presence of a virus or a pathogen that this negative test does not prove unequivocally the absence of virus or pathogen. This potential for a False Negative Test is due to seasonal and temporal fluctuation in pathogen levels, the inherent limitations of sampling and testing protocols, and the possibility of pathogen strain variability. Therefore, Perennia makes no representations or warranties to the Client, that a negative test result from a sample is unequivocally free of infection, and subsequently Perennia shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Client due to any resulting management decisions the Client makes based on the negative test results. The Client agrees that any and all claims for loss or damage which the Client has or in the future may have against Perennia arising out of or related to the provision of Services, whether such claim is founded in contract or tort, shall be strictly limited to the amount of fees actually paid by the Client to Perennia for the Services. This disclaimer and release of liability shall also be binding upon the Client’s successors, heirs, executors, and administrators.
USE OF INFORMATION
By submitting a sample to Perennia, the Client agrees to the use of the Client’s test results for research purposes only in an anonymous aggregate form. Perennia treats all information collected by the Perennia as confidential subject to meeting the requirements under the law.
BY PROCEEDING YOU HEARBY ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO THIS DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND USE OF INFORMATION.
