Terms of Use
Last updated: 8 October 2026
These terms apply to your use of the website of the European Leptospirosis Society (“ELS”). By using the site you accept them.
Purpose of the site
The site informs researchers, clinicians, veterinarians, public-health professionals and the interested public about the Society, its meetings and its work on leptospirosis and other rodent-borne diseases.
Not medical or veterinary advice
The content is general scientific and organisational information. It does not replace the advice of a physician, veterinarian or other qualified professional, and it must not be used to diagnose or treat a person or an animal.
Accuracy
We take care to keep the information correct and current — in particular congress dates, deadlines and fees — but we cannot guarantee that it is complete or free of errors, and it may change without notice. Where a detail matters to you, please confirm it with the secretariat.
Copyright
Texts, the ELS name and logo, graphics and photographs on this site belong to the Society or to their respective authors. You may quote and link to the content for non-commercial, scientific and educational purposes with a reference to the source. Any other use requires our prior written permission. Abstract books and publications remain subject to the rights of their authors and publishers.
Links to other websites
The site links to websites of partner organisations, reference laboratories and public authorities. We have no control over those sites and are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Forms
When you use a form on this site, please provide accurate information and do not submit unlawful content or other people’s personal data without their knowledge. How we handle the data you send is described in the Privacy Policy.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, the Society is not liable for damage arising from the use of this site, from reliance on its content or from its temporary unavailability. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Croatia, where the Society’s secretariat is based, without affecting the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live.
