Upwards Labs Holdings Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the not-for-profit Glow First community for the benefit of our users. In order to ensure fairness, and that we are effectively letting couples who do not know they are infertile or predisposed to fertility share risk, we must insist on certain terms and conditions for those joining the fund. We hope these terms and conditions will be fair to each member and ensure that our fund is as attractive as possible to our community of couples trying to conceive. By joining the Glow First community, you agree to certain terms and conditions below:
THE FOLLOWING TWO PROVISIONS APPLY TO ONLY THOSE USERS WHO ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN GLOW FIRST AS PART OF AN EMPLOYER SPONSORED GLOW FOR ENTERPRISE PROGRAM.
We have the right to have full transparency on your medical records.
- In order to ensure that you’ve answered our background questions truthfully, and for any other lawful gathering of information, you agree to allow us to access your medical records (whether they be electronic or otherwise).
