I agree with being clear but a disclaimer to limit liability even if your work is flawed is not "spelling it out" it is merely an attempt to duck liability for mistakes made by that person. Again I was replying to the original post. Your contract anagoly is way off the mark. I firmly believe in solid, well thought out, clear contracts and I always have. A disclaimer is not a contract but merely a statement to limit liability. I restate I would not hire anyone who used one that stated anything more than they are only responsible for what is indexed, anything more and it screams to me that this person does not have faith in their work and neither will I. I have employed many people in this business over the years and I am stating what I would do based on my 25 years. If you choose to hire or contract someone who wants to use disclaimers that is up to you, but I would bet if it was your money on the line you would choose those that do not use the disclaimer.

The best bet in this business is to keep up on the laws, regulations and standards, have the proper training, experience and insurance and forget the disclaimer that makes it look as if you are not properly skilled and that may not hold up in court.

I don't wish to argue semantics over this any further, I think I conveyed my point. You all have the right to your opinion but I as an employer will not be hiring any people who use disclaimers. Just a tip from an employer's point of view. Take it or leave it.

Merry Christmas to all!
