Whilst every reasonable effort is made to ensure that the information on the website is complete, accurate and up-to-date, this cannot be guaranteed.

DHC shall not be liable whatsoever for any error, omission or damages incurred as a result of the use of information posted on this website.

The mention of specific organisations, projects or of certain manufacturers' products does not imply that they are endorsed or recommended by DHC in preference to others of a similar nature that are not mentioned.

DHC is not responsible for, and cannot guarantee the accuracy of, information on sites that it does not manage, nor should the inclusion of a hyperlink be taken to mean endorsement by DHC of the site to which it points.

We refer to our website links policy [see below] when considering requests for us to include a link to another website.  While DHC makes all reasonable attempts to exclude viruses from the website it cannot guarantee such exclusion and no liability is accepted for damage caused through the downloading of viruses or other malicious programmes. Therefore, we strongly recommended that you take appropriate safeguards to protect your computer before downloading information from this, or any other, website.

Website links policy

Here we summarise our policy on website links from and to DHCNI and other associated sites.

Links from this site to other websites

This site may contain links to websites operated by parties other than DHC. Such links are provided for your convenience only. Links to third party sites are identifiable because clicking on them will display the third party's website URL.

When you access any other website by means of a link from this website you should understand that DHC does not control such websites and is not responsible for their content. Inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators.

We cannot guarantee that these links will work and we have no control over the availability of the linked pages.

It is DHC’s policy to obtain permission to link to other websites, and contextual links are provided to sites deemed by us to be appropriate to DHC aims and objectives. However, such links are subject to our disclaimer [see above].

Linking to the DHC website

DHC is committed to working with other organisations which share our aims and values and encourages the development of websites which support these aims and objectives.

We are happy for other organisations and individuals to link from their own websites to DHC’s website, however prior agreement must be sought from DHC via email to [email protected].  Should permission be granted, nothing on your site should imply that any part of the DHC site is part of your own site and any page or file that you link to on the DHC site must be called with its URL displayed.

DHC retains the right to withdraw permission to link to our site without explanation or notice if we think that such links are excessive, inappropriate or have other concerns in relation thereto.

Requests for reciprocal links

When considering requests for links from our website to other websites we use the following criteria:

• must be directly related to DHC aims and objectives
• must not be commercial sites.*

* It is our policy not to link from our site to commercial sites whose primarily purpose is to endorse or sell products or services.
