Disclaimer

A statement of disavowal or repudiation, posted by the author and/or publisher on the acknowledgments page of a publication, as a pro forma legality and public notice restricting liability for the material contents. Since its omission evinces a lack of "due diligence", and its inclusion is always deemed "inadequate" or "insufficient", many authors have crafted witty or sarcastic disclaimers to their work. Also known as "caveat lector" for a reader caution, warning, or alert; as "let the reader beware". See front matter, copyright.
