RE: [GPCG_TALK] FW: Tax Invoice from Australian Medicines Handbook

[Hugh Leslie]

I have just had a look at the AMH web site and selected the $145.00 pda package - nothing upfront about the minimum subscription.  When you click on the checkout button, it gives you a scrollable box which is headed "Conditions governing access to and use of this web site".  If you scroll down about 10 pages there is another section entitled "SUBSCRIPTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS".  In this section, they mention the minimum term.   You have to agree or disagree beneath this box.   I would think that any court in the land would laugh this out of court - its absolutely outrageous and probably contravenes a number of consumer laws.  If it was me I would tell them where to stick it.   Hugh   __________________________________ Dr Hugh Leslie MBBS, Dip.
