This is a South Africa website. Although the Internet is global in nature, the laws regulating the manner in which pharmaceutical companies convey medical or product information is not. Each country has its own set of rules, regulations and laws. As a result, information intended for dissemination in a particular country may not be appropriate for use outside that country. The information on this website is designed to comply with the laws of South Africa. The information on this website is intended for access and use by residents in South Africa only. These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of South Africa, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

This website may link to other sites, some of which are outside South Africa. Those websites may have information that is appropriate only to the particular originating country or region where the website is based. You should not construe anything on this website as a promotion or solicitation for any product or for the use of any product that is not authorized by the laws and regulations of the country where you are located. Novo Nordisk makes no representation that materials in this website are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access this website from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you log on to your internet service provider or through your organisation's local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN). Web servers automatically identify your computer by the IP address assigned to it during your session online.

Novo Nordisk, or third-party companies acting on behalf of Novo Nordisk, may collect IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration and to audit the use of our website. We do not ordinarily link a user's IP address to personally identifiable information of that user, which means each user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. However, we may use IP addresses to identify users of our website when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the website's Terms of Use, or to protect our service, website or other users.

Certain links on this website lead to resources located on servers that are not maintained by Novo Nordisk or under its control. We provide such links merely for our users' convenience. Novo Nordisk is not responsible for the content of any such referenced web sites or for the availability of access to such websites. Inclusion on this website of any link to another website, or any reference to any product or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not constitute or imply an endorsement or recommendation of such by Novo Nordisk. Access to other websites linked to this website is at your own risk, and to the extent permitted by law we disclaim all liability with regard to your access to such linked websites.

These Terms of Use are effective until terminated by Novo Nordisk. Novo Nordisk may terminate these Terms of Use and your access to this website at any time without notice.

All restrictions imposed on you, disclaimers and limitations or liability set out in these Terms of Use will survive termination.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remainder of these Terms of Use which will continue in full force and effect. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
