What is a disclaimer?

A disclaimer is a legal term that refers to a statement that helps protect a person or business from possible legal action in the future. In California, a disclaimer is a statement that disclaims or limits a party’s liability or responsibility with respect to a particular agreement or contract. Disclaimers limit the obligations of the parties involved and can help protect them from certain types of liabilities or damages that might otherwise arise out of the agreement. Examples of common disclaimers in California include disclaimers of warranties and disclaimers of liability for negligent acts. Other common disclaimers include those waiving liability for acts of third parties, disclaimers of intellectual property rights, and disclaimers of liability for lost or damaged goods. Disclaimers can help parties to a contract limit their risks and, in some cases, provide necessary protection from potential liabilities or damages.
