However:

• product information may change;

• information on the website may not include every condition, limitation or technical detail.

You should obtain current product documentation, regulatory information, specifications and commercial terms directly from DNX Scientific or the relevant manufacturer before making a purchasing, evaluation, regulatory or clinical decision.

References to a product or technology do not constitute a guarantee that it is appropriate for a particular laboratory, workflow, purpose or application.

• market placement;

• registration;

• conformity assessment;

• labelling;

• distribution;

14. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to websites or resources operated by third parties, including:

Please do not submit:

through a general website form or unsecured communication channel unless we have specifically asked you to do so and agreed an appropriate method.

17. Accuracy and Reliance on Content

We take reasonable care when preparing website content but do not guarantee that all content will always be:

• complete;

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by negligence;

Subject to this, and to the extent permitted by law, DNX Scientific will not be liable for loss or damage arising solely from:

arising from use of, or inability to use, the website.

These limitations relate to the free public website only. Liability arising under a separate commercial agreement will be governed by that agreement.

Terms seeking to restrict liability must remain fair, transparent and legally enforceable; unfair terms or notices cannot automatically be relied upon.

We take reasonable measures intended to maintain website security, but we cannot guarantee that the website will be completely free from viruses or other harmful components.

You are responsible for:

• using appropriate antivirus and security software;

• maintaining the security of your device and network; and

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
