A disclaimer is a statement that specifies or delimits the rights and obligations of parties. It asserts that the company won’t hold the responsibility for any inaccuracies. It is very valuable for your website and mobile app. It lets you address points about liability, copyrights, and other important topics.

If there is an error in your content, even if it was unintentional, you could be left open to legal action. To help prevent the outcome, state in your disclaimer that you make no guarantees as to the accuracy of the information on your pages. In this way, you will not be liable for the outcome of the use of your website.

In your disclaimer, cover all liability for the product or service that you provide. You should warn consumers of any dangers or hazards posed by your product. You should specific risks while at the same time acknowledging that the list is not exhaustive. For instance, you can write a notice of risk.

Benefits of a Disclaimer

What all needs to be taken care of in a Disclaimer Agreement?

Limited Liability For Tangible & Intangible Goods And Services

For example, If you are selling gym products, the agreement should say that the customer assumes all responsibility for the use of the equipment.

Protecting Your Rights

Just as you want to limit your potential exposure to lawsuits, you should protect your rights in your product and warn others against violation. Disclaimer Agreement should include a clause like “All the content is subject to copyright and may not be reproduced in any form without the express written consent of the author”.

Limiting Your Responsibility For Third Parties

This is especially important if your business displays advertising, using outside vendors, or has a website or social media page that is open to public comment. For instance, if you run a wedding planning business, disclaimer should read that you cannot be held responsible for the failure of contractors in performing their duties.

Include Terms And Conditions And A Privacy Policy Statement

The terms and conditions spell out the rights and responsibilities of you, the business, and your customer. Your disclaimer can then exempt you from liability if the customer does not expect by the terms and conditions. For instance, if you sell mobile phones, you could include in your terms and conditions. Including that you are not responsible for damage to the phone if the customer does not use them appropriately.
