The fundamental purpose of a disclaimer is to limit an aspect of a contract or legal rights or liabilities that a consumer, client or customer might otherwise have unless you specifically disclaim out of it.
Why do we write disclaimer?
A disclaimer is typically a short paragraph that works to protect your business, services, information, physical property and intellectual property from different types of abuses, liabilities and other legal issues. In other words, a disclaimer will limit your liability to others while protecting your rights.
When should a disclaimer be used?
A disclaimer is any statement that is used to specify or limit the scope of obligations and rights that are enforceable in a legally recognized relationship (such as host/visitor, manufacturer/consumer, etc.). The disclaimer usually acts to relieve a party of liability in situations involving risk or uncertainty.
