6. Copyright

The text, illustrations, cover and design of the book are the property of Dr Elham Ali Akbari and are protected by copyright. Buying a copy gives you the right to read and use that copy.

We take care to describe the book accurately. Chapter descriptions summarise content and are not a warranty that any specific topic is covered to a particular depth.

8. Medical disclaimer

The book is a professional and educational reference. It does not constitute individualised medical advice and does not create a physician–patient relationship between the author and any reader. Clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the treating clinician, who must account for the individual patient, local protocols, institutional policy and current regulatory requirements. Nothing in the book or on this website promises or implies any outcome of any investigation or treatment. Patients seeking guidance on their own care should speak with their treating physician.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by UAE law, our total liability arising from any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including any loss said to arise from clinical decisions taken by a reader. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Returns and refunds are covered by our refund policy, which forms part of these terms.

11. Changes
