Let me first start with my own disclaimer here by telling you that I am not an attorney and not qualified to give any type of legal advice, so please proceed at your own risk. Legal protection has become extremely important these days as we live in a world of sue-happy people. On the flip side of this land of never ending lawsuits you also have an obligation to inform your readers that you are not personally liable for any misuse of information and that what you are providing is strictly for information (or entertainment) purposes only. In other words, you need to protect yourself.
At the bottom (or sometimes in other places) of most every web page you’ll find a ‘terms of use’ or some type of disclaimer. This is usually broken down into three major parts: a disclaimer, copyright, and privacy policy. Some have more or less, or worded differently. And some may have a separate hyper link for each while others may have it listed under one hyper link which will usually be named ‘terms of use’ or disclaimer. For my own website, I personally chose to go with one link naming it ‘terms of use.’ Depending on the nature of the content on your website, it’s not a bad idea to seek advice from an attorney who specializes in this area.
