Disclaimer Generator
Generate a general disclaimer covering professional advice, external links, affiliate relationships and testimonials.
What is Disclaimer?
A disclaimer generator. It writes the notice that limits how far readers should rely on what you publish, and — more usefully — names the professional advice you do not give, which is the disclaimer that matters for a blog about money, health or law.
How it works
The general paragraph explains that content is published in good faith and relied on at the reader's risk. The professional section is assembled only for the areas you select, so a cooking blog does not claim not to give financial advice. External-link, affiliate, testimonial and accuracy clauses are added only when you switch them on, which keeps the notice short enough that people actually read it.
- Fill in the details the document needs. Business name, jurisdiction, dates, the clauses that apply to you. Nothing is uploaded and no account is created — the form is the only input, and the document is assembled in the page.
- Watch the blanks, not just the text. Any field you leave empty appears in the document as [[a highlighted marker]], and the panel above the output lists exactly which blanks are left. A half-finished policy should never look finished.
- Copy or download, then have it reviewed. Copy the document to the clipboard or download it as a .md file named for what it is. Every page states the same thing: this is a template, and it needs a qualified lawyer's eye before you publish or sign it.
Examples
A privacy policy for a side project
A solo developer shipping a newsletter signup needs a policy that says what is collected, why, and how to ask for deletion. Selecting the categories actually collected — rather than copying a competitor's list — takes two minutes and produces a document that is true.
Terms of service with a real liability cap
The liability clause is written from a number you supply instead of being left as "our total liability is limited to [amount]". A cap that is never filled in is a clause no one can rely on.
A DMCA notice a provider will actually action
A takedown that is missing the URL of the original work, or the statement under penalty of perjury, is one the service provider is entitled to ignore. Every required element appears in the generated letter, in the order the statute describes.
A DPA for a new vendor
Processors, security measures, breach notification window, transfers and audit rights as one document, with the subprocessor and SCC clauses switched on because this vendor uses both.
Common mistakes
Publishing a template without reading it
A policy that promises something you do not do — deleting data on request within 30 days, or never sharing data with third parties — is worse than no policy, because it is a documented misstatement. Read every clause against what actually happens and cut the ones that do not apply.
Assuming one document covers every jurisdiction
A privacy policy written for the UK does not automatically satisfy California, Brazil or Canada, and an employment clause that is standard in one country can be unenforceable in another. Name the jurisdiction you are actually writing for, and check the rules that follow from it.
Bundling consent and calling it consent
A single "I agree" covering marketing, analytics, photographs and treatment is not valid consent under most regimes, because consent has to be specific and separately given. Use one form per purpose, and never pre-tick the optional boxes.
Leaving the blanks in after generating
The marker can be more subtle to spot in a document than on the page — search the pasted text for the bracket characters before publishing, or use the missing-field list to confirm it is empty.
Frequently asked questions
Does a disclaimer actually protect me?
It sets expectations and shows a reader was warned, which matters if a claim is ever made. It does not override a statutory duty of care, and it will not save a site that in substance gives regulated advice without being authorised to.
Where on the page should it go?
Where it can be seen before the reader acts on the content — near the top for articles about money, health or law, and in the footer as a permanent backstop. A disclaimer only in the footer of an article that says "buy this fund" is not much of a warning.
Do I need a disclaimer and an affiliate disclosure?
They are separate: the disclaimer limits reliance on the content, the disclosure tells the reader about a material connection. A page with affiliate links needs both, and the disclosure has to sit next to the link.
