Users wishing to access the professional section of the Website must provide accurate and truthful information enabling their eligibility for access to be verified.
Medis reserves the right to verify a user's professional status before granting access or at any time while access is active, and to refuse, restrict or terminate access where the eligibility requirements are not met or where there are reasonable grounds to question the accuracy of the information provided.
