A disclaimer is an official statement that protects your business from legal liability.
Your disclaimer policy functions as a warning sign when users visit your blog or site. It notifies readers that your advice, products, or services may harm them, and that you cannot be held responsible.
Some types of disclaimers also discourage users from stealing your website content, and protect your intellectual property.
If you’re looking for a specific type of website legal disclaimer, our download library includes the following website disclaimers:
Using the template is simple — just copy and paste the sample disclaimer text into the HTML of your site.
Our disclaimer templates are designed to offer legal protection for websites in the US and Canada, as well as those globally — from the UK, all the way to Australia and South Africa.
A disclaimer can be included in several places on your site. Many businesses create a separate disclaimer page for their website, which they link to in their homepage footer. Others add the full disclaimer to their terms and conditions. If you’re based in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, you can also combine your disclaimers and impressum onto one page.
Because disclaimers operate as a legal safeguard, they should be visible and accessible to users. If they are difficult to find, or are deceptively placed on a webpage, there could be legal repercussions.
To protect your website from liabilities, remember to also include a terms and conditions agreement and a privacy policy on your site, so that users are aware of your guidelines and data collection practices.
