Terms & Conditions

By accessing or using HCP Network, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, you should discontinue use of the site.

These terms govern access to the public-facing website, editorial pages, author directory pages, advertising inquiry forms, and related digital experiences we make available.

Content on HCP Network is provided for informational and editorial purposes only. It is not medical advice, legal advice, financial advice, or a substitute for clinical judgment, diagnosis, treatment, or patient-specific decision-making.

Healthcare professionals should independently evaluate the suitability, completeness, and applicability of any information in light of current standards of care, institutional policies, legal requirements, and patient-specific factors.

HCP Network publishes original editorial content and may also summarize, curate, adapt, or otherwise present verified third-party material where appropriate authorization, permission, or licensing supports that use.

We may revise headlines, formatting, metadata, structure, or contextual framing to make content more readable and more useful for our audience. Nothing in these terms should be read to grant a user ownership over the underlying platform design, editorial compilation, or site presentation.

You may access and use the site for lawful personal, professional, editorial, research, and business-information purposes consistent with these terms. You may not misuse the site, interfere with operations, attempt unauthorized access, or use the site to transmit unlawful, harmful, or infringing material.

You agree not to circumvent access controls, overload infrastructure, impersonate another person or organization, or use the site in a way that could damage site availability, security, or integrity.

HCP Network is primarily a public editorial website and many pages may be accessible without creating an account. Even where no account is required, automated access must remain lawful and should not interfere with the site or disregard our technical controls.

Search indexing, AI access, or other automated collection activities may be restricted, permitted, or conditioned based on technical controls, robots instructions, contractual arrangements, or other policies we choose to implement.

The site design, branding, page structure, code, editorial arrangement, graphics, text, and other materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws unless otherwise indicated.

Except for the limited right to access and use the site under these terms, no right, title, or interest in the site or its materials is transferred to you.

HCP Network may link to third-party websites, institutions, advertisers, service providers, media sources, and other external destinations. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or privacy practices.

Interactions you have with advertisers, sponsors, vendors, or third-party sites are governed by their own terms, policies, and practices.

The site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, complete accuracy, perfect timeliness, or that every page will always remain current, available, or free of error.

We may remove, revise, suspend, or discontinue parts of the site at any time without notice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HCP Network and its affiliates, licensors, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the site.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.

We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time. The revised version becomes effective when posted unless another effective date is stated.

Your continued use of the site after revised terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
