Does your site have a disclaimer?

[Paul_KY]

Some say it's a must. I have disclaimers on some sites, and don't have them on others.

Anyway, here's a free tool to provide your site with a discaimer (I use it on some sites): http://www.easyriver.com/free_disclaimer.htm

Good Luck

Paul

I have a diclaimer on each page of my site and I also have a copyright declaration on my startpage. Here's where I got it from;

Umm,
I think its a good idea to have it, I have it on my business websites not on my personal websites.

:roll:

Hmm....,
Am I slow or what, I find it ridiculous that Webmasters are pushing beginers like me to use a "one-size fit-all" applications. I think that
the time you will use to modify this disclaimer will be more frustrating
that just writing a simple "Don't quote me, am not liable for my site, you agree to read it, and believe it and use it and ... and.... at you own risk" :shock:
What is a use of saying "You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless..." When all I want is for someone to know I can be online and not selling anything?

Lanre,

No one is pushing anything on you.

"Don't quote me, am not liable for my site, you agree to read it, and believe it and use it and ... and.... at you own risk"

In my humble opinion, this simply wouldn't stand up in court, and would look extremely unprofessional.

"am not liable for my site"

Yes, yes you are liable for your site, in many cases.

My 2 Cents.

Paul,

Living with a law student I fully agree. I use a small privacy policy that I think works. She looked it over and says it would cover any attacks but she has not yet studied contract law. What do you think of what I am using? I use this one or similar for all of my sites.

Is it a good idea to download a disclaimer from other similar websites and change a little bit based on my own situation?

Finally someone has hit the home run

I believe this is called copywrite infringement.

You might contact the webmaster and ask and most likely they'll be more than happy to give you permission. Make a copy of that, "Sure, go ahead, dude" e-mail and store it in a VERY safe place.

Lanre,

How is this a, "Home Run"?

Paul,
Have you tried to use http://www.easyriver.com/free_disclaimer.htm
for more than one site? The only modification from it is only the site's
name.
As long as you take your time to read disclaimers and avoid the traps
usually set therein you are cool. I think browsing the web and getting ideas from others
isn't a crime. I remember you gave me similar advice before. By all means, It is proper to seek permission if you are going to adapt someone else's work to suit yours.
