The documents contained in the Service are presented for information purposes only. The material is in no way intended to replace professional medical care or attention by a qualified practitioner.
The materials in the Service cannot and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or choice of treatment. The materials are not exhaustive, and the Service cannot always reflect all the most recent research in all areas of medicine. Information on the Service presents the more commonly found aspects of medical conditions which are likely to be of general interest, and for editorial reasons may not include certain substantive and commonly found phenomena.
NetDoctor strongly advises all users with health problems to consult a doctor, who will be trained in observation and interpretation of symptoms and will be able to provide a proper diagnosis based on a knowledge and understanding of all aspects of your condition and your medical history.
Some of the information on the Service is provided by third parties. NetDoctor is not in a position to verify this information. NetDoctor does not warrant that such information is true or accurate.
NetDoctor does not conduct independent clinical or other trials of any kind.
NetDoctor makes no warranty or representation that (i) the Service will meet your particular requirements, (ii) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, (iii) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate or reliable, and (iv) the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you through the Service will meet your expectations.
No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from NetDoctor or through or from the Service shall create any warranty or other obligation not expressly stated in the Conditions.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, and except in respect of death or personal injury arising from NetDoctor’s negligence, NetDoctor hereby excludes liability for any claims, loss, demands or damages of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Service, and any information, content, advertisements or products provided or distributed through the Service including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damages, whether arising from loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of use or otherwise and whether or not the possibility of such loss has been notified to NetDoctor. The foregoing will apply whether such claims, loss or damages arise in tort, contract, negligence, under statute or otherwise. If you are a consumer your statutory rights, if any, are not affected.
6. Exclusions and Limitations
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations of section 5 may not apply to you.
In particular, nothing in these Conditions shall affect the statutory rights of any consumer or exclude or restrict any liability for death or personal injury arising from the negligence or fraud of NetDoctor.
7. General information
These Conditions (including the guides and rules referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and NetDoctor and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and NetDoctor. The Conditions and the relationship between you and NetDoctor shall be governed by the laws of England. You and NetDoctor agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. Any failure by NetDoctor to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Conditions remain in full force and effect.
