Free legal information disclaimer: drafting notes

This is a free version of our legal information disclaimer template. The only difference is the inclusion of an SEQ Legal credit.

This disclaimer has been created for websites that publish legal information - eg the websites of lawyers or other legal services organisations.

Issues covered include: (i) the distinction between legal information and advice; (ii) the question of when to obtain professional assistance; and (iii) warranty exclusions relating to information.

As with all limitations and exclusions of liability, the enforceability of the document may be open to question.

Section 1: Credit

Optional element. Although you need to retain the credit, you should remove the inline copyright warning from this document before use.

Section 5: Interactive features

Does the website include any interactive features through which information or assistance may be provided to users?

Section 7: Limits upon exclusions of liability

Section 7.1
