1. NO MEDICAL ADVICE

The information provided by or on behalf of FV HOSPITAL in this website is for informational and/or educational purposes only. Nothing contained on this website is intended to be in the nature of medical, clinical or therapeutic diagnosis or treatment or a substitute for consultation with a qualified health care professional. Please check with a health care professional if you suspect you are ill or in need of medical attention. The advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider should always be sought with any questions you may have regarding a medical or health condition. Never disregard medical or health care advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the FV HOSPITAL website. While FV HOSPITAL frequently updates its content, medical information changes rapidly. Therefore, some information may be out of date.

E-mail correspondence with FV HOSPITAL or any of its physicians, will not, in and of itself, create a physician/patient relationship with us or cause FV HOSPITAL to create or retain any medical records about you, monitor your care, or communicate with your own health care provider. All of the information contained on this website, including the response to any e-mail query, is general in nature and is in no way intended to constitute, and should not be considered by you to be, medical advice or professional services.


2. PERSONAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL USE

Except as specifically agreed by us, the website is for your personal and non-commercial use. As a condition to your continued use of the website, you warrant to FV HOSPITAL that you will not use the website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these terms and conditions.


3. REGISTRATION, RESTRICTED ACCESS AND LOG IN

As a user, you will be able to access material on most areas of the Sites without going through any registration or log-in process but we reserve the right to restrict access to certain areas of the website at our discretion. If you are required to register or log in to any part of the website, you must provide FVH with accurate and complete information and it is your responsibility to inform FVH of any changes to that information (including in particular your e-mail address) by changing your details electronically or by e-mail. Each registration is for a single user only and FVH does not permit any person to share your user name and/or password. You are responsible for all use of the website made by you or anyone else authorised to use  your user name and password (collectively, "ID") and for preventing unauthorised use of your ID, and we reserve the right to disable your ID at any time. If you believe there has been any breach of security (e.g. the disclosure, theft or unauthorised use of your ID or any payment information), you must notify FVH immediately.

4. FORUMS

The website may include bulletin boards, discussion groups and other public areas that allow feedback to FVH and interaction between users and FVH personnel ("Forums"). Whilst FVH does not control the information/materials posted to Forums by users (the "Messages"), it reserves the right (which it may exercise at its sole discretion without notice) to delete, move or edit the Messages and to terminate your access to and use of the Forums and you waive any moral rights that you may have in regard to the Messages.

You are solely responsible for the content of your Messages. You must comply with any additional rules posted by FVH on a Forum. In particular, you may not:- post, link or otherwise publish any Messages containing any form of advertising or promotion for goods and services or any chain Messages or "spam"; post, link or otherwise publish any Messages with recommendations to buy or refrain from buying a particular item (and in particular shares) or which contain confidential information of another party or which otherwise have the purpose of affecting the price or value of any item (and in particular shares); post, link to or otherwise publish any Messages that are unlawful, threatening, abusive, libellous, indecent, infringe copyright or other rights of third parties or which may contain any other form of illegal content; post or otherwise publish any Messages that contain a virus or other harmful component or otherwise contain software viruses, files or code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of the Site or any computer software or equipment; disguise the origin of any Messages or impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent any affiliation with any person or entity or collect or store other users' personal data; post or otherwise publish any Messages unrelated to the Forum or the Forum's topic.

By submitting messages to any Forum you agree to indemnify and hold harmless FVH from all claims, costs, liabilities and expenses (including legal expenses) arising out of any Messages posted or published by you that are in breach of these terms. The Forums contain messages submitted by users over whom FVH has no control. FVH cannot therefore guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any Messages. Some users may breach these terms and post messages that are misleading, untrue or offensive. You accept to bear all risk associated with your use of the Forum and should not rely on Messages in making (or refraining from making) any decisions. Emails/Messages will be removed or modified if we consider them to be libellous or abusive and we reserve the right to take legal action (including where appropriate criminal prosecution) against those posting such messages.

FVH personnel (who will be clearly identified as such) may also contribute material to the Forums in order to stimulate discussions and ensure the smooth running of the Forums. The Forums may also contain Messages from special guests selected by FVH. The opinions of those FVH personnel and special guests are their own and are not necessarily endorsed by FVH. They should not be considered by you as healthcare or professional advisers. By submitting Messages to any Forums you are granting FVH an irrevocable perpetual worldwide royalty free non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, translate, make available, distribute, and sub-license the Message in whole or in part. This may include personal information such as your user name and alias and your expressions of opinion. FVH reserves the right to contact you by e-mail with regard to your use of the Forums. You acknowledge that it is not possible for FVH to fully and effectively monitor when Messages infringe the copyright of a third party or other third party rights.
