While ADC endeavours to ensure that the information on this website and Doctor’s Companion is accurate and current, we make no representation or warranty nor do we assume any liability or responsibility, for the accuracy, currency, completeness or usefulness of the information contained herein, or for any errors or omissions contained herein.
All express warranties, representations and conditions of any kind and all warranties and other terms implied by statute or common law with respect to this website and Doctor’s Companion or the information, content or materials included on this website and Doctor’s Companion, including but not limited to any such warranty or representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on this website and Doctor’s Companion are hereby expressly excluded.
Your use of this website and Doctor’s Companion is at your own risk. ADC shall not be liable in any circumstances for any direct or indirect, special or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise), costs, claims, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever, whether caused by the acts, omissions or the negligence of ADC, by its employees or agents, which arise out of or in connection with your access to or use of this website and Doctor’s Companion.
Doctor’s Companion
Doctor’s Companion is for information purposes only and is designed as a general drug information reference for healthcare professionals in Australia. Although every effort has been made in compiling and verifying the information given to ensure it is accurate, the information in the Doctor’s Companion should be used in conjunction with the most recent product information included with each drug or therapeutic agent by the manufacturer or sponsor.
The authors’ and editors’ and their employees or contractors do not warrant the currency or accuracy of the information contained in the Doctor’s Companion and expressly disclaim all and any liability and responsibility to any person, and the consequences of anything done or omitted to be done by any person, in reliance whether wholly or partially upon the whole or any part of the contents of this information (including as a result of any error, omission, negligence or otherwise of ADC or its employees or contractors in the preparation of the information).
ADC is not engaged in rendering professional advice or other services. While every effort has been made to ensure that the Doctor’s Companion information is correct and in accordance with current recommendations and clinical practice, the changing nature of drug information requires that users exercise in all cases independent professional judgment and understand the individual clinical situation when referring, prescribing or providing information from the Doctor’s Companion.
The inclusion of a meeting or conference in the Doctor’s Companion is for the information of Australian healthcare professionals and is not an endorsement of the meeting or conference by ADC. Any request for further information should be directed to the conference organisers. Details of a meeting or conference were correct at time of entry, but may be subject to changes by conference organisers without notice. Users should check the conference website for the most recent information.
