This is one section of the law that is so new that the paint is literally still wet and that is something of a serious argument.
Cyber law or internet law is a very grey area, each year there are hundreds and thousands of new lawsuits, increasingly these suits are concerning disputes about online law, some of the problems are that people use form fitting one size fits all legal statements that are not intended to be copied.
If you are doing this stop…
You may not realize that you are setting yourself up for a real problem.
Recently there was a company that was going around selling a one size fits all legal statement for websites, this company is now out of business because they got sued for violating state and federal laws governing the UCC.
Do not put yourself into that category by copy pasting legal statements onto your website, it is a huge mistake and can cost you in fees and lawsuits that are just not needed.
If you are a website owner and you are using a one size fits all legal statement just because you think it looks good on your website, take it down, statistics reveal that it is better to have no statement than to have the wrong statement.
Why give you website visitor rights and remedies that they would not have if you did not use one of these incorrect legal statements.
In the end words have meaning and unless you are an attorney you cannot depend on what others may see in your generic statements.
bottom line, get real advise from a real attorney…
