2. PURPOSE OF THIS SITE
This Site provides general information about Sterifast, its manufactured products, distributed third-party products, and services in the fields of sterilisation, disinfection, and infection prevention. This Site does not process online sales or payments. Commercial quotations, orders, and after-sales support are handled through direct contact with our team, and are not concluded through this Site.
3. NO MEDICAL OR CLINICAL ADVICE
The content of this Site, including product descriptions, technical information, and any general content, is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical, clinical, or regulatory advice, nor a substitute for the official Instructions for Use ("IFU"), technical documentation, or regulatory labelling applicable to any product. Products must only be used strictly in accordance with their official IFU and applicable regulatory documentation, and by appropriately trained personnel. If you require the official IFU for a specific product, please contact us.
4. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND MANUFACTURING SCOPE
Sterifast manufactures certain products in-house, including EcoPlasma sterilisers and sterilisation rolls/pouches. Other products presented on this Site are third-party brands distributed by Sterifast and remain the property and responsibility of their respective manufacturers with regard to their design, manufacturing, and compliance claims. Reference to Sterifast as "manufacturer" on any page applies only to the specific products for which this is expressly stated, and must not be interpreted as extending to the full product catalogue.
We take reasonable care to keep product information accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that all specifications, availability, certifications, or images are error-free or current at all times. Please confirm technical specifications and regulatory status directly with us before making a purchasing decision.

8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
This Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
