Fidia invites Users to discuss the Content and any type of health-related information with their doctor. Fidia reserves the right to amend the Website at any time without prior notice. Neither Fidia, nor any third party involved in the creation, production and publication of the Website, or any other site linked to the same, may be held liable in any way, neither for any direct, incidental, consequential or indirect damage resulting from access, use or non-use of the Website or any other website linked to the same, nor for any error or omission in the Content. Users acknowledge that access to and browsing of the Website, as well as use of the information constituting the Content, are under their sole responsibility. Notwithstanding Fidia's undertaking mentioned above, the Website's Content may contain technical or typographical errors. Fidia shall not accept any liability for any inaccuracies, incompleteness, inconsistencies, inadequacies or untimely updating of the Website's Content. Users acknowledge that the Website has been created by Fidia for informational purposes only. The Website Content consists of information about the Company, as well as information relating to the research and development activities conducted and the products and services offered. Fidia also expressly warns Users that none of such Content may in any way and under any circumstances be attributed the value and meaning of medical, diagnostic and/or therapeutic indications or prescriptions. The Website and the Contents may be browsed and consulted only by persons over 14 years of age. Under no circumstances will any requests from persons below this age be taken into account, nor will any response be provided. Information relating to medicinal products which require a prescription is displayed by Fidia exclusively in the Restricted Areas of the Website, which, in accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 219/2006, are restricted to healthcare professionals (doctors and pharmacists). The Public is therefore invited to contact their doctor for any doubt or issue concerning their state of health and, in particular, for any medical-scientific, clinical and therapeutic services and/or advice regarding the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diseases, symptoms, side effects and adverse events. Fidia reserves the right to make changes at any time and without prior notice to its products and services and to suspend or withdraw them from the market of any country worldwide at any time. Finally, Fidia reserves the right to make changes, corrections and improvements to the data, information and programs published on the Website and in general to any and all elements of the Content at any time and without prior notice.

The information contained in these websites may not comply with Italian law and, in particular, with Legislative Decree 219/2006 on the advertising of medicinal products for human use. Fidia warns Users that such information is managed by third parties independently and outside the control of Fidia. Consequently, Fidia expressly declines any liability in any way connected with the content published on such websites and with the cyber security of browsing such websites, which Users acknowledge to access voluntarily and under their sole responsibility.
