Tips For Writing A Disclaimer For Your Blog / Website
Have you written a disclaimer, yet? or Do you even realize that your website needs one?
Learning how to write a disclaimer is something that many people new to internet marketing and web publishing need to learn. Especially if they have chosen to sell goods and or provide services.
The use of a disclaimer is more of a necessity these days than anything else. A disclaimer is necessary because of the simple fact that any person, for any reason may decide that there may be something on your website or blog (something that you have written) that is in some way offensive and or unacceptable either politically or socially. As a result, the reader may even decide to sue you. We all know how easy it has become to do that.
So, for the purpose of keeping your beloved hide in one piece and your money in your wallet, it is in your best interests to write yourself a disclaimer. Just to be safe!
The writing of a disclaimer can be a difficult task for someone who has never written one before, therefore I am going to provide you with a brief guide that you may use and follow. The title of the guide is as follows…..
How to Get On Your Way To Writing a Disclaimer
First things first, You will need to decide what kind of information to include in your disclaimer. A disclaimer is basically just a declaration, so you may just want to declare some or all of the following.
Step one – You will need to convey to your readers that your blog/website is a personal blog/website and that all articles and opinions contained within are your own.
Example: I the author of the content that can be found here within can assure you, the reader that any of the opinions expressed here are my own and are a result of the way in which my highly disorganized and somewhat disfunctional mind interprets a particular situation and or concept.
Step two – Explain to your readers that your personal opinions and writings are not meant to defame, purge, humiliate, and or injure anyone should they decide to act upon or reuse any information provided by you.
Example: I would like to expressly convey to you (the reader) that were I to accidentally defame, purge, humiliate and or hurt someone’s person or feelings as a result of them reading and or acting upon any or all of the information and or advice found here at my site, it is entirely unintentional of me to do so.
Step three – Mention the fact that any comments left by any other independant readers or authors are the sole responsibility of that person.
Example: Any comments that may be found here at (your site name) are the express opinions and or the property of their individual authors. Therefore, I the owner/author of this site can not be held responsible for the fact that the minds of the respected authors may just well be as disfunctional as my own. If not more….. and it is not a practice of my own to edit any comments left here by others.
Step four – Include a paragraph or two requesting your readers to contact you directly via email should they wish for you to remove any content that they have identified as being sensitive, harmful, or unnecessary.
Example: Should you (the reader) identify any such content that is harmful, malicious, sensitive or unnecessary, I request that you contact me via email so I may rectify the problem. Failing that you may like to just sit and weep incessantly!
Step five – The last thing you may like to include is a legal statement referring to any applicable laws and or regulations pertaining to the country in which you live.
Example: (I am unable to provide one! – sorry)
A legal statement is something that you may need to speak to a lawyer about. I am not a lawyer and therefore can not recommend what you should write. I am also unsure of whether or not a self written disclaimer would stand up in a court of law or not. Again that is something you would have to speak to a lawyer about.
What I do know, is that writing a disclaimer can be a fun experience. Because they can be made intersting and have the potential to attract readers. I often read blog disclaimers and have found some really well written ones that were great to read.
So why not put some serious thought into writing a disclaimer today.
