Website or Mobile Disclaimer

A Website or Mobile Disclaimer is a document posted on a website or mobile application which limits the liability of the operator of the website or mobile app and disclaims certain responsibility. A Website or Mobile Disclaimer is not a negotiated document - in other words, the parties don't sit and come together to discuss the terms of the document. Rather, it is simply drafted by the operator of the website or mobile application and posted online with no negotiation.

A Website or Mobile Disclaimer is a relatively uncomplicated document, but it is necessary in the internet age, as it ensures there are limits to the company or individual owner's liability.

How to use this document

This document should be used for an individual or a company looking for a broad set of disclaimers for their website or mobile application.

The input for this document is quite simple, only basic details about the company or individual operating the website/mobile app will be asked about, as well as a simple question or two about what the website provides and what age restriction is in place. Other than that, the document will populate itself with the information needed for the disclaimer.

When this document is filled out, it should be posted online.

Applicable law

Although there is not one set of laws or regulations outlining what must be contained in a Website or Mobile Disclaimer, disclosures and disclaimers are broadly governed under individual state statutes as well as the advertising and marketing laws of the Federal Trade Commission.
