Disclaimer

n. act of disclaiming, repudiation; renouncing of a claim; statement which denies responsibility or affiliation, denial

A disclaimer is generally any statement intended to specify or delimit the scope of rights and obligations that may be exercised and enforced by parties in a legally-recognized relationship. In contrast to other terms for legally operative language, the term "disclaimer" usually implies situations that involve some level of uncertainty, waiver, or risk.
