Legal
Terms of use
Last updated: 11 November 2026
These terms apply to ekpharm.com, the EKPharm Academy, the resources and the certificate verification page.
1. Who we are
The site is operated by Emad Kirolos, an individual based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Contact: [email protected].
2. Using the site
You may use the site for personal, lawful purposes. You must not try to break into or disrupt the site, send automated requests that overload it, use the certificate checker to guess IDs, or copy the site's content at scale.
3. Information on the site
Content on the site describes my professional background, projects and courses. It is for general information only. It is not medical, legal or regulatory advice. Pharmacy and clinical practice must follow the rules of the regulator in your area and your employer's policies.
4. EKPharm Academy courses
- A certificate confirms that you completed a course. It does not give continuing education or continuing professional development credit, unless the course page says so, and it is not a licence, registration or professional qualification.
- Enrolment is by enquiry. No payment is taken on this site at present.
- If paid courses are introduced, separate terms and refund conditions will apply and will be shown before you pay.
5. Certificate verification
The verification page shows the status held in the EKPharm certificate registry. The result can be out of date or unavailable, so do not rely on it alone. A result does not by itself confirm an individual's identity, competence or registration. If you need to confirm a certificate for an official purpose, contact me. Attempts to guess certificate IDs or to collect registry information are prohibited.
6. Intellectual property
The site's text, images, course materials, logo and signature are owned by Emad Kirolos unless stated otherwise. You may view the site and print pages for your own use. You may not copy, sell or republish content without written permission.
The names of HIMSS, ASHP, PeopleCert, ITIL and other organisations on the site are the property of their owners. Showing my certificates is only to show the credentials I hold. It does not imply sponsorship or endorsement by those organisations.
7. Links to other websites
The site links to other websites, including LinkedIn. I do not control those websites and am not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
8. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under UAE law.
9. Changes and availability
I may change or remove site content and update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version.
10. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. The courts of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or from use of the site.
11. Privacy
How personal data is handled is described in the privacy policy.
