Email legal disclaimer footer...

Anybody have some standard text about what to include in a legal disclaimer footer in outgoing emails?

 

There is no "standard" text. What is it you are trying to protect against?

On my personal email, I use none. For my business email, I have a disclaimer related to my area of business. A CPA would use different language than a lawyer, etc.

The appropriate text depends what you are trying to accomplish by adding the disclaimer.

 

Should have been a bit clearer there..

I got the text that regards to the business adn legal requirements.. What I needed was something down the line off..

"If you received this mail in error, please delete it and contact us at...".. I ended up with a phrasing along those lines.. thank you for your answer though

 

Something like this? -->
