TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, APPLIED MEDICAL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH REGARD TO THE SITES, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND INFORMATION CONTAINED ON OR MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND THE ACCURACY OF THE CONTENT.

APPLIED MEDICAL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ANY MEDICAL DEVICES OR PROCEDURES ABOUT WHICH INFORMATION OR CONTENT IS PROVIDED WITHIN OR THROUGH THE SITES.
While the information on this site about our organisation is intended for readers throughout Europe, the content that concerns the characteristics and features of the medical devices we supply, or the procedures for which they are used, are intended solely for health care professionals (and not patients or potential patients) and only in those countries in which we operate our own direct-to-hospital distribution business excluding France. If you are located in France and have questions about the characteristics and features of our products, you are invited to contact us at CustomerRelations-FR@appliedmedical.com.
If you are a health care professional in a country in which we do not operate a direct-to-hospital distribution business, please contact our authorized distributor for information about our products rather than this website.
No patient or potential patient in any country should rely on any information provided on this site. Rather, patients and potential patients should discuss their medical conditions and treatment options with a suitably specialized and registered health care professional.
Health care professionals and health care providers should exercise their own judgment in determining whether a particular product or procedure is appropriate for their practice or their patients.
Product and Service Availability. Applied Medical frequently updates and improves its products. Applied Medical may discontinue or modify products at any time.

Even if available, the governmental approval or market clearance received for a particular product in one country may be for a different use or indication, or subject to different restrictions, than in another country. Each country may have specific laws, regulations, and medical practices that govern the communication of information about medical products and other products over the internet. Nothing in the Terms of Use shall be construed as a solicitation for, or promotion of, any product or the use of any product that is not authorized by the laws and regulations of the country where you reside or access the Sites.

You agree that you are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. You agree to indemnify Applied Medical Europe B.V. for any damages it may suffer from you circumventing these pop-ups or answering the questions falsely.
