TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My company includes a notice at the front of each manual that reads:
"...The information in this document is subject to change without notice
and should not be construed as a commitment by DY 4 Systems Inc. While
reasonable precautions have been taken, DY 4 Systems Inc. assumes no
responsibility for any errors that may occur in this document."
Does anyone else use such a disclaimer? Is this (a) standard practice, and
(b) enough to protect writers (as well as the company) from lawsuits?
