ECUPHAR is the owner of the internet domain containing this Website. The content and services that ECUPHAR makes available to the user on the Website may also be governed by specific terms and conditions which, in the event of any conflict, shall take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Specific Terms and Conditions”). The user also agrees, each time they use the relevant content or service, to be bound by the applicable Specific Terms and Conditions. The Website contains information regarding the products and services offered by ECUPHAR or any companies belonging to the group to which ECUPHAR belongs. Some of these products and services may not be available in certain countries. A reference to any ECUPHAR product or service on an ECUPHAR website does not imply that such a product or service is available in your locality.

Such matters will not be addressed or answered via the Website. In such cases, you should contact medical specialists and healthcare professionals. Furthermore, some of the information or services contained on the Website may be intended exclusively for persons authorised to prescribe or dispense medicines; therefore, if you do not belong to these groups, you will be asked, upon accessing the Website, to refrain from continuing.

ECUPHAR takes reasonably appropriate security measures to detect the presence of viruses. However, the user must be aware that security measures for computer systems on the Internet are not entirely reliable and that, therefore, ECUPHAR cannot guarantee the absence of viruses or other elements that may cause disruption to the user’s computer systems (software and hardware) or to their electronic documents and files contained therein. Each country may have its own legal requirements or medical practices. The information contained on each of the websites is intended for use, where applicable, exclusively by healthcare professionals in the country to which the website relates. ECUPHAR may offer services via the Website which may be subject to their own Specific Terms and Conditions, of which you will be informed in each specific case.

However, the Website makes available to the user, solely for the purpose of searching for and accessing content and services available on the Internet, hyperlinks or technical linking devices that enable the user to access websites or Internet portals belonging to, or managed by, third parties (the “Third-Party Websites”). The Third-Party Websites referred to above are not under ECUPHAR’s control and, consequently, ECUPHAR (or any companies belonging to the group to which ECUPHAR belongs) is not responsible for the content and services of any of the Third-Party Websites. These Third-Party Websites are provided solely to inform you of the existence of other sources of information on a specific topic, and the inclusion of a link on this Website does not imply ECUPHAR’s endorsement of the Third-Party Websites. Furthermore, any natural or legal person intending to establish a hyperlink or technical linking mechanism from a Third-Party Website to this Website must obtain prior written authorisation from ECUPHAR. In any event, the establishment of a link from a third-party website to this Website does not, under any circumstances, imply the existence of any relationship between the owner of the third-party website and ECUPHAR, nor does it imply ECUPHAR’s acceptance or approval of its content or services. The Website may also contain advertising or be sponsored. Advertisers and sponsors are solely responsible for ensuring that the material submitted for inclusion on the Website complies with any applicable laws. ECUPHAR shall not be liable for any errors, inaccuracies or irregularities that may be contained in the advertising or sponsor content.

COMMUNICATIONS AND PARTICIPATION IN FORUMS, BLOGS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

ECUPHAR may offer users the opportunity to submit various types of content (such as comments, photographs or other material) for inclusion in the relevant sections. The publication of such content is subject to these General Terms and Conditions of Use. The user identified in each case as having submitted the content is responsible for it. The content does not reflect the opinion of ECUPHAR, nor does ECUPHAR make any representations in this regard. ECUPHAR shall not be liable for any errors, inaccuracies or irregularities that the content may contain, nor for any damage or loss that may be caused by the inclusion of such content in the sections of the Website which, where applicable, permit this type of service. The user supplying the content grants ECUPHAR the rights to exploit it (including the rights of reproduction, use, distribution, public communication and any other activity relating to it), whether in electronic, digital or paper format, or on any other medium, in all languages and throughout the world. In particular, the user grants these rights for the content to be published on the Website, so that other users of the Website may access it. The contributing user declares that they are the owner of the rights to the content and, furthermore, guarantees that they hold the necessary rights and authorisations from the author or owner for its use by ECUPHAR via the Website. The user providing the content undertakes to assume responsibility for any potential claims brought against ECUPHAR in relation to the content provided and, in particular, including, but not limited to, infringement of rights to honour, privacy and personal image and/or intellectual and industrial property rights that third parties may hold in respect of the content, and shall hold ECUPHAR harmless from any costs, expenses and compensation that may arise for such reasons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ECUPHAR shall not be liable for any damages that may arise from the use, reproduction, distribution or public communication, or any other activity carried out in relation to content protected by intellectual and industrial property rights belonging to third parties, without the user having first obtained the necessary authorisation from the rights holders to carry out the use they are making or intend to make. Furthermore, ECUPHAR reserves the right to unilaterally remove content hosted in any other section of the Website whenever ECUPHAR deems it appropriate. ECUPHAR shall not be liable for information submitted by the user where it has no actual knowledge that the stored information is unlawful or that it infringes the property or rights of a third party giving rise to a claim for compensation. As soon as ECUPHAR becomes aware that it is hosting data such as that referred to above, it undertakes to act diligently to remove it or to prevent access to it. The user may join, where such an option is available, the groups that ECUPHAR maintains on various social media platforms. To this end, the user must accept the terms of use and privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.
