Free website disclaimer: drafting notes

This website disclaimer does three different jobs for a website operator: it disclaims certain liabilities that might arise out of the use of the website; it sets out the basis upon which a website may be used; and it prompts certain disclosures that are or may be required of website operators by English/EU law. The document is a shortened and simplified version of our standard website terms and conditions. If the website in respect of which the document will be used includes any ecommerce features, user-generated content features or other service-like features, you should consider one of our more detailed terms and conditions documents, rather than this disclaimer.

Section 1: Introduction

Section 1.2

Optional element.

The completed document should be easily accessible on the website, with a link from every page.

Section 1.3

Optional element. Does the website use cookies (including session cookies and third party cookies)?

The inclusion of this statement in your website legal documents will not in itself satisfy the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (as amended) concerning consent to the use of cookies. Guidance concerning methods of obtaining such consent is included on the Information Commissioner's website (http://www.ico.gov.uk).

· What is the title of the document on the website that contains cookie information?

Section 2: Credit

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

Section 3: Copyright notice

Section 3.1

· What was the year of first publication of the relevant copyright material (or the range of years)?

· Who is the principal owner of copyright in the website?

Section 4: Licence to use website

The scope of the licence to use will vary with each site. Consider carefully exactly what your users should be allowed to do with your website and material on your website.

Section 4.3

Optional element.

· For what purposes may the website be used?

Section 5: Acceptable use

Section 5.1

· Should automated interactions with the website be prohibited?

· Will the website incorporate a robots.txt file?

· Should users be prohibited from using the website for direct marketing activity?

Section 5.2

Optional element. Should the use of data collected from the website to contact people and businesses be prohibited?

Section 5.3

Optional element.

· What standard of veracity etc should user-submitted content meet?

Section 6: Limited warranties

Section 6.1

Optional element.

Section 6.2

Optional element.

Section 7: Limitations and exclusions of liability

Limitations and exclusions of liability are regulated and controlled by law, and the courts may rule that particular limitations and exclusions of liability are unenforceable. The courts may be more likely to rule that provisions excluding liability, as opposed to those merely limiting liability, are unenforceable. If there is a risk that any particular limitation or exclusion of liability will be found to be unenforceable by the courts, that provision should be drafted as an independent term, and be numbered separately from the other provisions. It may improve the chances of a limitation or exclusion of liability being found to be enforceable if it was specifically drawn to the attention of the relevant person. In English law, exclusions and limitations of liability in legal notices are regulated by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 ("UCTA"). Legal notices regulated by UCTA cannot exclude or restrict a party's liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence (Section 2(1), UCTA). Except insofar as the relevant term satisfies the requirements of reasonableness, such legal notices cannot exclude or restrict liability for negligence (Section 2(2), UCTA). These guidance notes provide a very incomplete and basic overview of a complex subject. Accordingly, you should take legal advice if you may wish to rely upon a limitation or exclusion of liability.

Section 7.1

Do not delete this provision (except upon legal advice). Without this provision, the specific limitations and exclusions of liability in the document are more likely to be unenforceable.

Section 7.3

Optional element. Do you want to attempt to exclude all liability for free services and information?

This sort of exclusion is quite common, but unlikely to be enforceable in court.

Section 7.5

Optional element.

Section 7.6

Optional element.

Section 7.7

Optional element.

Section 7.8

Optional element. If the website operator is a limited liability entity (e.g. a limited company), do you want to expressly exclude liability on the part of officers and employees?

Section 8: Variation

Changes to legal documents published on a website will not generally be retrospectively effective, and variations without notice to and/or consent from relevant users may be ineffective.

Section 10: Law and jurisdiction

The questions of which law governs a document and where disputes relating to the document may be litigated are two distinct questions.

Section 10.1

This document has been drafted to comply with English law, and the governing law provision should not be changed without obtaining expert advice from a lawyer qualified in the appropriate jurisdiction. In some circumstances the courts will apply provisions of their local law, such as local competition law or consumer protection law, irrespective of a choice of law clause.

· Which law should govern the document?

Section 10.2

In some circumstances your jurisdiction clause may be overridden by the courts.

· Should the jurisdiction granted be exclusive or non-exclusive? Choose "non-exclusive" jurisdiction if you may want to enforce the terms and conditions against users outside England and Wales. Otherwise, choose "exclusive jurisdiction".

· The courts of which country or jurisdiction should adjudicate disputes under the document?

Section 11: Statutory and regulatory disclosures

Do the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 apply to the website or is the website operator registered for VAT?

This section can be deleted where website operator is not registered for VAT and the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 do not apply. Generally, those Regulations will apply unless a website is entirely non-commercial, i.e. where a website does not offer any goods or services and does not involve any remuneration (which includes remuneration for carrying AdSense or other advertising).

Section 11.1

Optional element. Is the website operator registered in a trade or similar register that is available to the public?

The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 provide that if you are "registered in a trade or similar register available to the public", you must provide "details of the register in which the service provider is entered and his registration number, or equivalent means of identification in that register".

· What is the name of the trade register?

· At what URL can the trade register be found?

· What is the website operator's registration number?

Section 11.2

Optional element. Is the website operator subject to an authorisation scheme (e.g. under financial services legislation)?

The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 provide that "where the provision of the service is subject to an authorisation scheme" you must provide "the particulars of the relevant supervisory authority".

· What is the name of the authorisation scheme to which the website operator is subject?

· What authority supervises the authorisation scheme?

Section 11.3

Optional element. Is the service provider a member of a regulated profession (e.g. solicitors)?

The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 provide that if "the service provider exercises a regulated profession", it must provide "(i) the details of any professional body or similar institution with which the service provider is registered; (ii) his professional title and the member State where that title has been granted; (iii) a reference to the professional rules applicable to the service provider in the member State of establishment and the means to access them".

· What is the website operator's professional title?

· Which professional body regulates the website operator?

· In which jurisdiction was the professional title granted?

· What is the name of the document containing the rules governing the profession?

· At what URL can the rules be found?

Section 11.4

Optional element. Does the website operator subscribe to any codes of conduct?

Section 12: Our details

Optional element.

UK companies must provide their corporate names, their registration numbers, their place of registration and their registered office address on their websites (although not necessarily in this document). Sole traders and partnerships that carry on a business in the UK under a "business name" (i.e. a name which is not the name of the trader/names of the partners or certain other specified classes of name) must also make certain website disclosures: (i) in the case of a sole trader, the individual's name; (ii) in the case of a partnership, the name of each member of the partnership; and (iii) in either case, in relation to each person named, an address in the UK at which service of any document relating in any way to the business will be effective. All websites covered by the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 must provide a geographic address (not a PO Box number) and an email address. All website operators covered by the Provision of Services Regulations 2009 must also provide a telephone number.
