All clinical material published on the LIC undergoes review to ensure fair balance, objectivity, independence, and relevance to educational need. The material is impartial, and is in no way influenced by political, commercial or financial pressure. Any on-screen advertisers who may be displayed on the LIC website are specifically prevented from influencing any content thereon, and funds received from on-screen advertising placement are entirely used for payment of hosting fees for this website. The LIC is a 100% non-profit organization.

The editors of the material herein have consulted peer-reviewed sources believed to be reliable in their efforts to provide information that is complete and in accord with the standards accepted at the time of writing. However, in view of the possibility of human error by the authors, editors, or publishers of the works contained herein and those used as primary references, neither the Administrators, the Server Administration or network access suppliers, nor any other party involved in the preparation of this site, warrants that the information contained herein is in every respect accurate or complete and they are not responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of such.

Readers are encouraged to confirm the information contained herein with other sources.

The LIC Administrators make no representations or warranties with respect to any treatment, action, or application of medication or preparation by any person following the information offered or provided within or through the LIC and will not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary, or other damages arising therefrom.

Details of individual cases as may be given on this website are fully anonymous and are included for information only and should not be applied to any other cases or used as material for legal pursuit or action of any form. All individuals or organisations submitting information or queries to the LIC are treated in total confidence. Individual advice to email correspondance is provided subject to these disclaimers and conditions, and must be considered informational in nature due to the obvious limitations of diagnosis via remote communication, therefore any advice given must be confirmed by a locally-attending physician.
