Disclaimer Agreement Template

What Is a Disclaimer Agreement?

A disclaimer agreement is a legal contract that clarifies what you're not providing, establishes the limits of your liability, and requires users to acknowledge specific risks before accessing your services or information. Unlike a simple disclaimer notice on your website, this agreement requires active acceptance and creates enforceable legal protections against claims that you provided professional advice, guaranteed results, or failed to warn about risks.

Without a properly executed disclaimer agreement, you face exposure when someone misapplies your information, claims they thought you were acting as a professional, or sues because your service didn't produce the results they expected. This template shifts responsibility to users who knowingly assume documented risks while preserving your ability to offer valuable content and services without unlimited liability exposure.

 

 

Is This Disclaimer Agreement Right for You?

You need this agreement if you're:

• Providing educational content, courses, or workshops
• Offering coaching services without professional licensure
• Creating fitness, nutrition, or wellness programs
• Running recreational activities or adventure services
• Sharing business strategies or financial information
• Selling information products or how-to guides

You definitely need this agreement if:

• People might mistake your information for professional advice
• Your services involve any physical or financial risk
• You discuss topics that overlap with regulated professions
• Users could lose money or get injured following your guidance
• You provide information that could become outdated or incorrect

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this template multiple times?

Yes. Use it for different services, update it as your offerings change, and apply it across all your business activities requiring liability protection. One purchase gives you lifetime access.

Is this disclaimer legally binding?

Yes. When properly executed with user acknowledgment and signature, this creates an enforceable contract limiting your liability. Courts regularly uphold properly drafted disclaimer agreements that clearly communicate risks and obtain informed consent.

Can a disclaimer agreement completely eliminate my liability?

No. Disclaimer agreements cannot eliminate liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of consumer protection laws. They also can't override public policy protections in certain industries. However, they significantly reduce exposure for ordinary negligence, user misapplication of information, and claims about results or outcomes.

Do I need this if I already have terms of service on my website?

Yes. Terms of service typically govern website use and general business practices. A disclaimer agreement specifically addresses liability for your content and services, requires active acceptance of risks, and creates stronger evidence of informed consent than browsewrap terms buried in your footer.

How do I get users to sign this agreement?

For digital services, require users to check a box confirming they've read and agree to the disclaimer before accessing content or purchasing services. For in-person services, have participants sign before the activity begins. Store all signed agreements securely with timestamps proving when consent was obtained.

What's the difference between this and a liability waiver?

A liability waiver typically addresses physical injury risks for specific activities and may release you from negligence claims. This disclaimer agreement is broader, covering informational services, professional relationship disclaimers, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of various types of damages beyond just physical injury.
