Fox News has a disclaimer that deals with user-generated content on its message boards and forums: A copyright disclaimer protects original content from user theft. He explains that you own your website and everything on it – and that there are legal consequences if you use your work without permission. This disclaimer states that Twitter will not be held responsible for content that its users share, which may be offensive to others. Your access to and use of this website is subject to the following terms and conditions. By visiting and scrolling through this website, you unconditionally accept these terms and conditions and acknowledge that they supersede all other agreements you have entered into with Diamond USA with respect to the use of this website and render them without any legal effect. The Website is provided for your information and personal use only and you must be at least 18 years of age; provided that your use of this website is at all times subject to these terms and conditions. Use of the Site is void if prohibited by applicable law and the right to access the Site will be revoked in those jurisdictions. The Site is administered in the United States and any information you provide is transferred to the United States. The laws and regulations of different countries impose different (and even contradictory) Internet and data protection requirements. If you reside in the European Union or elsewhere outside the United States, your use of the Site is at your own risk and initiative, and you, and not us, are responsible for compliance with applicable local and national laws. By using the Website, participating in website activities or providing your personal data, you (a) consent to the transfer and processing of the information you provide to the website; (b) recognize that U.S.
law provides a lower standard of privacy protection than the laws of various countries, including but not limited to the European Union; and (c) understand that the Site processes your information in accordance with U.S. law. Therefore, you hereby waive any claim that may arise from the laws and regulations that apply to you in another country or jurisdiction. You may not use the Site in a manner that violates applicable law or these Terms and Conditions. By using the Site, you agree to comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws, including, but not limited to, intellectual property rights. You may not use the Site for the purpose of destroying, disrupting or interrupting any software, hardware or part of the Internet against the Company or any other party, including denial-of-service attacks, imposing an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on infrastructure or distributing viruses. The U.S. Equal Employment Commission`s disclaimer is similar: we reserve the right to make changes to these pages and our legal notice/terms of use. We encourage you to periodically review the Site and these Terms for updates or changes. Your continued access to or use of these Sites will be deemed your acceptance of this Legal Notice/Terms of Use and any modification and adequacy of these Standards for notification of changes. While we can`t offer a legal defense to everyone, we remain vigilant against takedown notifications that affect all creators. A detailed exclusion from copyright is therefore not required by law, but has a strong deterrent effect against copyright infringement.
This shows that you know the law and that you will defend your claim. Because these agreements limit your liability, they are also often referred to online as a disclaimer. For websites and applications, the disclaimers of warranty state that the company makes no representation as to the accuracy and reliability of the content it publishes. Here`s an example: A great example of a warning expressed is the Federal Communications Commission`s (FCC) Disclaimer podcast: Our website is hosted in the United States (USA) and our services are provided from the United States. Some information may be stored on servers in several other countries in the cloud or other similar distributed hosting platforms. If you visit our website from outside the United States, any information you voluntarily provide through our website and any technical information from the browser of your computer, tablet or mobile device will be transferred from your country to the United States.
