Asking for trouble? Trademark domain disclaimers

Posted by DomainGang on October 30, 2011, at 2:11 pm

It’s another thing to slap a disclaimer at the bottom of your domain, stating that should such a trademark exist, the domain will be transferred free of charge: We have no interest in violating intellectual property rights. The domains […]

Duh! A very silly email disclaimer

Posted by DomainGang on October 28, 2011, at 10:55 am

Disclaimers placed at the footer of emails are meant to convey a specific message, usually about a company’s policies on privacy. However, how would one be asked “not to read” an email they already received? Human nature does not dictate reading the disclaimer at the bottom of the email first 😀 Here’s an example: This […]
