• NHPC reserves the right to refuse links.

Links to the NHPC website from NHPC member sites

• Links may not imply endorsement of those modalities, products, or services for which NHPC has not recognized the member.
• The NHPC initials or logos cannot be used on promotional materials promoting members' practices and/or services that have not been recognized by the NHPC, unless it is clearly indicated in the promotional materials which practices and/or modalities have been recognized by the NHPC.

Links to websites from NHPC

NHPC establishes links to other organizations that offer information, goods, or services that address the technical and/or professional interests of NHPC members.

Such links are provided as a convenience to www.nhpcanada.org visitors and do not imply NHPC’s endorsement of the linked sites, the organizations operating such sites, or any products or services of those organizations.

NHPC is not responsible for the contents of any linked site, any link contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to the information contained in such sites. The privacy policies of linked sites may differ; you should check the privacy policy of linked sites before providing personal information.

NHPC generally does not engage in reciprocal linking (i.e., trading links) and requests for reciprocal linking will be ignored. If you would like to request a link to your site from NHPC, please review our existing links and provide an explanation of how your site is consistent with the existing links and why it should be added.

Objections to any links on the NHPC website are to be directed to the NHPC Communications Manager at cashton@nhpcanada.org
