- This is a page discussing the concept of a disclaimer. For the Wikipedia disclaimer, please see Wikipedia:General disclaimer.
A disclaimer is a legal statement which generally states that the person/group authoring the disclaimer is not responsible for any mishap in the event of using whatever object or information the disclaimer is attached to. This is generally done as a measure of legal protection; if someone hurts himself misusing something with such a disclaimer, he could not (legally) claim in a court of law that he was unaware of the potential safety risks.
A special form of disclaimer is the All persons ficticious disclaimer, a special disclaimer in regards to slander.
