Terms of use

Welcome to the Fresenius Medical Care Singapore (FMESG) website located at freseniusmedicalcare.sg (the “Site”). Please read these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of our Site and our product information services accessible via our Site. To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services are collectively called the “Services.” 

1.    Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy, do not use the Services.

You may use the Services only if you are (i) a healthcare professional and (ii) 16 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract with FMESG and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

3.    Changes to the Terms or the Services

FMESG may modify the Terms at any time, in its sole discretion. If FMESG does so, FMESG will inform you either by posting the modified Terms on the Services or through other communications. It is important that you review the Terms whenever FMESG modifies them because if you continue to use the Services after FMESG has posted modified Terms on the Site, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. FMESG may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by FMESG under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
