Disclaimer Generator

Step 1 / 3 Site name
Next

Every blog reviewing products, every site with affiliate links, every personal finance newsletter eventually needs a disclaimer page. This generator builds a short disclaimer paragraph from your site name and the topic of your content (information, finance or health), ready to paste as the starting point of your disclaimer page.

How to generate a disclaimer

  1. 1

    Enter your site name

    Type the name of your site or leave the field empty to use "This website". The name appears in the first sentence of the disclaimer.

  2. 2

    Choose the topic

    Pick the topic of your content (information, finance or health). It is inserted into the disclaimer text so the wording matches what your site publishes.

  3. 3

    Generate the text

    Click "Generate Disclaimer". The paragraph is built and shown in the output box.

  4. 4

    Copy and review it

    Copy the paragraph and paste it into a new page titled "Disclaimer". Treat it as a starting draft, not as a substitute for professional legal advice.

What the generated text contains

The generator produces one paragraph that states:

  • which site the disclaimer belongs to (or “This website” when no name was given),
  • the topic you chose (information, finance or health),
  • that the content is published for general information only,
  • that no warranties are made about completeness or accuracy,
  • that any action taken based on the content is at the reader’s own risk.

The generated text is in English. If your site is not in English, have the paragraph reviewed and translated before publishing it.

What a good disclaimer does (and does not do)

A disclaimer reminds readers that your content is for general information and is not a substitute for professional advice. It does not:

  • Exempt you from liability for actively harmful acts (it does not replace a proper privacy policy or terms of service either).
  • Protect against false advertising claims.
  • Override consumer protection laws that apply regardless of what your page says.

Where to place it

  • Dedicated page titled Disclaimer, linked from the footer of every page on the site.
  • Short inline note at the top of specific posts (medical or financial content) that repeats the key warning.
  • Before affiliate links some regulators (notably the US FTC) expect the affiliate relationship to be disclosed near the link itself, not only on a hidden page.

Review cadence

Re-read your disclaimer once a year and when you add a new revenue stream. A blog that adds courses or coaching needs earnings and testimonial clauses that a pure affiliate site did not.

This tool outputs a starting draft. For high-stakes use cases (regulated industries, jurisdictions outside the US and EU, or sites with substantial revenue), have a lawyer review before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. A disclaimer is a statement about the nature of your content. Terms of service define the contract between you and your visitor (acceptable use, refunds, governing law). A privacy policy is yet another document dealing with personal data. Most sites need all three.

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and topic. For affiliate links, the US FTC and many other regulators require disclosure. For medical or financial content, most platforms require disclaimers in their terms. A lawyer can tell you what is mandatory in your specific case.

You can read others for reference, but copying wholesale is a copyright risk and often leaves in references that do not fit your site (wrong jurisdiction, wrong revenue model). The generator gives you a clean starting draft based on your site name and topic.

Your site name and topic are sent to our server only to build the text, and they are not stored after generation. In the step-by-step view the values travel in the page link as you move between steps. Only anonymous usage statistics are collected.
