one of my websites contains science project in the elementary / middle school level. the only materials used in these projects are household items , such as fruit, food coloring, etc. i am concerned about possible liability issues incase there is a freak accident i do not want to get completely wiped out if someone sues me if they messed up one of the experiments, put food coloring in their child's eye, etc. (especially because this is under an individual / sole propietor, so whatever possible protection a separate legal entity would have won't apply) i want to know what i can do to reduce my liability for this website, if putting a disclaimer such as would be sufficient and completely cover me. i thought about making a terms of use that needs to be checked to use the website, but at the same time i do not want to deter possible visitors who would purchase membership (it's a pay site). i would be thankful for any guidance.
I'm not sure there is a disclaimer that will "completely cover" you, since people can sue whether they have a case or not. As for the wording, I would strongly suggest consulting an attorney. No one on this forum will be able to give you a definitive legal answer, since there are many variables involved - including whether there are, in fact, forseeable hazards in some of your experiments, the liability laws in your legal jurisdiction, etc. Even if several people here chime in with "sure that covers you dude", there is no way to use that endorsement in a court of law.
