Website Disclaimer
A disclaimer that names the actual risk your site carries, plus affiliate and sponsorship disclosures.
100% free. Runs entirely in your browser - your files and data never leave your device and nothing is uploaded to any server.
Template, not legal advice. This is a template, not legal advice. A disclaimer limits what people can reasonably rely on; it does not make you immune from liability, and it will not protect you from a claim about something you actually got wrong. Where your site touches health, money or law, have a professional read it.

Fills every answer with a worked example you can edit. Pick the one closest to your business.
Other documents you can generate
Most sites need more than one. A privacy policy without terms, or terms without a refund policy, leaves the obvious gap.
About this tool
A disclaimer only protects you when it names the specific risk your site carries. "For general information purposes only" protects nobody; "this is not medical advice, and never delay seeing a doctor because of something you read here" is the kind of wording that does the job. This generator is for bloggers, publishers, affiliate sites and anyone writing about health, money, law or DIY, and it builds the disclaimer from your answers - medical, financial, legal, fitness and affiliate disclosures, plus an earnings or results disclaimer if you sell courses or coaching. Add it before publishing advice people might act on, and before the first affiliate link goes live. Your answers are processed in your browser.
How to use this tool
- Enter your site detailsAdd the site or business name, the address and a contact email.
- Pick the topics you coverTick health, finance, legal, fitness, DIY or affiliate content so the right disclosures are included.
- Place it where it mattersLink the full disclaimer in the footer and repeat the key line near the advice or links it covers.
What a disclaimer can and cannot protect
A disclaimer tells readers how to treat your content: that health articles are not medical advice, that investment commentary is not personalised financial advice, that affiliate links may earn you commission, or that results in testimonials are not typical. It sets expectations and supports a defence if someone relies on your content in a way you never intended.
It is not a shield against everything. A disclaimer will not excuse negligence or misleading claims, and some disclosures are required by regulators regardless - the US FTC, for example, expects affiliate relationships to be disclosed clearly near the link, not only on a separate page.
Key features
- Covers medical, financial, legal, fitness and affiliate disclosures based on your answers.
- Adds an earnings or results disclaimer when you sell courses or coaching.
- Includes external-links and "no professional relationship" wording for blogs.

Common uses
- A health, fitness or nutrition blog sharing general information.
- A finance or crypto creator discussing investments.
- An affiliate site or YouTube channel earning commission from links.
- A coach or course creator sharing client results.
Tips for better results
- Put affiliate disclosures next to the links themselves, not only on a separate page.
- Keep the wording specific to your niche - one clear sentence beats a page of generic text.
- Review it when you start covering a new topic, such as moving from fitness into nutrition.
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating the affiliate disclosure as optional - in the US the FTC expects it to be clear and close to the link.
- Relying on a disclaimer to excuse inaccurate advice; it limits misunderstandings, it does not make errors harmless.
- Using only "for general information purposes" on a health or finance site.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Regulators such as the US FTC and the UK ASA expect the disclosure to be clear and close to the link or recommendation itself; a page in the footer alone is not enough.
Link it in the footer, and place a short version where it matters - at the top of health or finance articles, under videos and next to affiliate links.
It helps show you were not giving personal advice, but it does not excuse harmful or careless content. Keep claims accurate and point readers to a qualified professional.
No. It assembles a draft from standard clauses, and every page says so above the preview. For most publishers the real exposure is not a lawsuit but an ad network or affiliate programme closing the account over an undisclosed relationship.
Broadly, bloggers, publishers, affiliate sites, and anyone writing about health, money, law or DIY. The best time to do it is before publishing advice someone might act on, and before the first affiliate link goes live.
Treating the affiliate disclosure as optional politeness. In the US the FTC requires it to be clear and near the link, not buried on a separate page, and "clear" has been tested repeatedly in enforcement actions.
Most people need Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy as well. They cover the gaps this one does not.
