I already said 'after you've advised them to get legal advice', 'depending on size of the client', 'check it with someone qualified if you're worried' etc...

You don't disclaim it, you offer it on the condition that the client is responsible for its use - successful or otherwise. They don't want it, they don't take it.

Why would it?

I bet loads do - armed with frontpage. But I don't think writing the terms of use for a website you plan, design and develop is straying that far from your own area.


I wasn't saying don't use lawyers, I was saying you don't need lawyers to write a legally binding document. It's not rocket science.
Take a contract, for example - create a document that outlines the agreements you're making and any details they entail. Read it, sign it, date it.

I've written legally binding documents.
Suppose I'd better get myself a nice suit. See you in court.
