(b) https://www.mediacorp.sg/privacy-policy  

1.2 These Terms of Use may be amended by the Organisers from time to time. Such amendments may be posted on the Site. You are responsible for being aware of such changes, and your continued use or access of the Site and/or Webinars shall be deemed and construed as your conclusive and binding acceptance of the amended terms.

2. ELIGIBILITY

2.1  The Site and Webinars may be accessed by you in any part of the world, provided that it is legal for you to do so in the territory that you are accessing the Site or Webinars. You undertake and warrant that you are legally entitled and able to access and use the Site and/or Webinars.

2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Site, nor any of the Webinars, are intended for persons resident in the European Union.

2.3 Use of any Site and/or Webinars may be subject to specific age restrictions. Unless otherwise stated, if you are under the age of eighteen (18) years old, you must obtain the permission and consent of your parent or legal guardian and agree to these Terms of Use to use the Site and/or Webinars.

2.4 The Organisers reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to determine whether any particular individual is eligible to use and access the Site and/or Webinars.

3. Medical Advice Disclaimer

3.1 You acknowledge that the Organisers are not providers of medical advice. 

3.2 The Site and Webinars are not designed to provide medical or specialist advice. Rather, the Site and Webinars are intended to provide information about parenting, pregnancy, baby development and other related topics for parents and pregnant women. The contents of the Site, such as text, graphics, images, advice, recommendations, any information provided by any third party on our Site or any other information which you may obtain in connection with your use and access of the Site and/or Webinars (collectively referred to as “Content”) are general in nature and for informational purposes only. They are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. 

3.3 The provision of the Content does not purport, and shall not in any way be deemed, to constitute an offer or provision of any professional or expert advice. You should at all times consult a doctor, qualified expert or professional adviser to obtain advice and independent verification of the information and data contained herein before acting on it.

3.4 Your decision to rely on any information you obtain in connection with your use of the Site and/or Webinars is at your sole discretion and risk. You are required to exercise sound judgment.

3.5 Developments in medical research may impact or invalidate the health, fitness, medicinal, and nutritional topics and information discussed on the Site and/or Webinars, and no assurance can be given that the Content contained in the Site and/or Webinars will always include the most recent findings or developments.

3.6 The Content contained in the Site and/or Webinars may very well be inaccurate, outdated or found to have no basis in fact or research. The Content contained in the Site and/or Webinars may also contain opinions from parties without actual medical knowledge. We are unable to verify each and every opinion.

3.7 A major limitation of informational resources like the Site and Webinars is the inability to take into account the unique context, circumstances and particular knowledge your physician has about you, your baby and your baby’s health.

3.8 The Site and Webinars do not promise that it can provide you accurate information on your pregnancy and foetus or your baby. The information provided, or any predictions that we make, may very well be wrong. It is outside of our ability to give you the same standard of care, or accuracy of information or predictions which a qualified medical professional may be able to give you.

3.9 While we hope that you find the Site and Webinars useful, always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider if you have any concerns or questions about your health or the Content, and before you take any action which may affect your health or safety or the health or safety of your family or foetus. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it merely because you read something on the Site and/or Webinars.

3.10 Although we may provide general information on food, nutrition and medicine, we stress that you should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider before acting, or omitting to act, on the information on that we provide. Again, the accuracy of the general information that we provide may very well be wrong.

3.11 If you think that you may have a medical emergency, call your local medical emergency hotline for an ambulance, or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not hesitate to seek medical attention.
