A Disclaimer is a document that clearly spells out what client or customer responsibilities are and what are not your responsibilities. A disclaimer is one of ways to protect your business from becoming legally responsible for silly things that other people might do. Being charged for things you are not responsible for might affect your business. It is true that there are people who do silly things in which their actions might cause themselves or third parties to get harmed. If the action is performed in your business area, you probably become the one who is responsible for the action. With a Disclaimer, you can avoid any responsibility that is not yours. A disclaimer is usually used in various areas including in website creation and providing a service.
A Disclaimer must be written clearly and acknowledged by your customer or client. A Disclaimer that is written in small fonts and hidden in document is not effective. A clear written Disclaimer will be easily seen and read so that there is no chance that customer or client does not read the information. To make sure that customer or client acknowledges the disclaimer, you should bring it into their attention. In this case, providing a tick box to be filled by your customer or client is one of effective ways to make customers acknowledged your disclaimer. You might need a process to explain the disclaimer but it is worthwhile because once your customer or client agree with the terms and conditions, you can have peace of mind.
