Great Disclaimer for Affiliate Websites

by E. Brian Rose
7 replies
I just saw this disclaimer on a website:

You can assume that the owner of this website may be an affiliate for providers of goods and services mentioned on this website. The owner may even be compensated when you purchase something after clicking on a link. Perform due diligence before purchasing from this or any other website. This disclaimer has become necessary as a result of the actions of the same people who are responsible for requiring such product disclaimers as below:



"Warning: May contain nuts." -- On a package of peanuts.
"Warning: Misuse may cause injury or death." -- Stamped on the barrel of a .22 caliber rifle.
"Remove occupants from the stroller before folding it." -- On a baby stroller.
"Do not eat toner." -- On a toner cartridge for a laser printer.
"Do not use in shower." -- On a hair dryer.


Please consider yourself notified, disclaimed, and generally informed that capitalism is still being practiced on this website.

    When Uncle Sam sent me to Africa, the lady at a store told me that Gerber had to remove the Gerber Baby from their packaging, because the locals are used to the picture on a product being what is actually inside.

    That's pretty funny. I might have to do that with some of my disclaimers. Oftentimes they are so boring and dry that I can't imagine anyone actually reading them.

    The affiliate has got great sense of humor. BTW, do hungry buyers have time to read disclaimers before purchase? I doubt.
