Disclaimer Generator
Generate a website disclaimer covering no-professional-advice, accuracy limits and external links.
What the generated disclaimer covers
Enter your company name, website, contact email and effective date. The governing law field isn't used in this text. The output states that the content is for general information only, then has five sections:
- No professional advice: nothing on the site is financial, legal, medical, tax or other professional advice. Readers should consult a qualified professional.
- Accuracy: no warranty that the information is accurate, complete or reliable.
- External links: you don't monitor linked sites and aren't responsible for them.
- Limitation of liability: no liability for loss from using the site. Use is at the reader's own risk.
- Contact: your email.
It contains nothing about affiliate links, sponsored content, testimonials or user comments. Add those if they apply to you.
Put it where readers rely on your content
A disclaimer only works if people see it before they act. A footer link is the baseline, but nobody about to follow a calculator result or a health article clicks through to a legal page first. Add a one-line notice where it matters:
- Under calculators: "Estimates only, based on the figures you enter. Check with [your bank / an adviser] before deciding."
- At the top of health, legal or money articles: "General information, not advice for your situation."
- Next to affiliate links or at the start of a review: "We earn a commission if you buy through these links."
The full disclaimer then backs up those short notices instead of standing in for them.
What a disclaimer can't do
It won't protect you from content that is careless, out of date or misleading. If an article states a wrong figure as fact, a general "no warranty" clause is a weak answer. Keep dates on time-sensitive pages and correct errors when you find them.
The broad "no liability" wording may also be limited by consumer law, depending on where your readers are and whether they paid you. The generated text is a template, not legal advice. If your site gives specialised information or sells products, have a qualified lawyer review it.

A more specific version covering estimates, affiliate income and reader comments. Replace everything in [BRACKETS].
Frequently asked questions
Is a website disclaimer legally required?+
Usually there is no general rule that every site must have one. Specific disclosures can be required, though, for example about paid endorsements or affiliate links under advertising rules in some countries. Check the rules where you and your audience are.
Can I copy a disclaimer from another website?+
Better not. Their wording is their own work, and it describes their site and risks, not yours. Use the generated text as a base and rewrite it around what your site actually offers.
Does a YouTube channel or podcast need a disclaimer?+
If you discuss money, health or legal topics, or earn from sponsors and affiliate links, yes. Say it briefly in the video or episode itself and put the full text in the description or show notes. You can enter your channel URL in the website field.
