Aarthi K recently posted…My Stirred Soul
Ahw, thanks so much Aarthi! Glad to hear you liked it!
This is such a fun take on a disclaimer page! Kudos to your creativity.
As ironic as this may sound, I wanted to request permission to use parts of your “disclaimer template” (obviously excluding all your personal statements) for my blog since since all the other ones I have found online sound too legal. Do let me know!
Thanks Shloka! Of course you can use parts of it, feel free to make it your own, it’s always hard to write a disclaimer that’s not too difficult for people to understand! Good luck with your blog!
Haha I definitely agree. And thank you so much!
Hello,
I’d love to use parts of your disclaimer too!
No problem Crystal!
Me too if you don’t mind!
Absolutely Cora!
Oh, I love it! Best disclaimer I’ve ever read! The ‘standard’ legal disclaimers always sound depressing. I’ll have to rethink mine and make it reflect more of my own personality as you did with yours! Thank so much for the inspiration!!
Great to hear Beckie, let me know when you finished it, so we can all enjoy reading it :D
Thank you! I am writing something similar as we speak and your wonderful disclaimer has really helped!
No worries Jessa, glad I could help you!
Your disclaimer is wonderful! Could I please use some parts on my own blog? Thank you.
Sure no problem, good luck with your blog!
I need so much help with this, thank you! I’m still a little confused where I put the disclaimer on Blogger…but I’m kind of a blogging tech dunce! I will re-read your post and have a go, thanks so much!
Hi Steff, Ohw, I wouldn’t Know? Can you just create a new Page? I would guess so! Good luck!
I love your disclaimer. I have just started my blog so wasnt very sure on how I should write one.
I feel inspired now and may use a few of your ideas if thats ok??
Thanks for the help. Wish me luck :)
Vicki recently posted…FEELING LOST
Of course! Good luck with writing the disclaimer and let me know how it turned out!
Hello there! I just wanted to let you know that I’ve just out your link on my blog on the “disclaimer” page. Your tips about how to write it have been really useful! Thanks a ton.
That is great Manuela! so glad I could help!!
This is the most helpful disclaimer post out there! Can I use part of it for my own disclaimer? I mean the actual content text and not your personal or humourous statements of course :)
Yes, of course, haha, feel free to use what you can! Good luck with the writing!
This is amazing, like the many others who have already asked, is it ok to use this as a rough template as it’s such an easy an insightful read, all the others are so confusing!!
Thank you for making legal stuff entertaining!
Natalie recently posted…Pinned It – DIY 3D Letter
Of course, feel free to use it! Good luck with your blog!
Thank you so much for your disclaimer. You just saved my life, I had no idea how to start mine for my website, but yours has been of great help. I took some parts from yours and paraphrase it. I hope it’s okay. I don’t want to be sued for copyright infringement. lol … you are super funny too. keep up the good work.
Haha, fantastic! Good luck with your site!
Kudos on your disclaimer … and for your website in general. I’m an old dude with a young blog and would love to incorporate some of your ideas (shamelessly steal a few words here and there) in my blog. Would that be OK?
Charles recently posted…Concert Review: Cowboy Up
Of course Charles, feel free to use what you can. Good luck with your blog and thanks for you nice compliment!

Hi, glad I’ve found your blog through looking how to write a disclaimer ( I’ve taken a few of your words for my disclaimer, I hope that’s okay?), because I’m going travelling very soon and really look forward to reading your ‘packing’ section and advice, also your shop!
Best wishes, Boo
Thanks Boo! That’s great to hear, I wish you safe travels and love to hear your stories soon!
Hello Nienke,

Vashti recently posted…Dear Infertility
Hi Nienke,
Would I also be able to use parts of your disclaimer for my blog as well? Thank you for a wonderful resource and great blog!!!!
Thank you!
Hi Nienke, I love your disclaimer! I have just written my own and have used yours as inspiration, thank you!
From another Dutchie I can’t see any grammar issues to forgive in there, and I have spent most of my life in NZ and consider English (well the kiwi verion) my main language. Nederlands kan ook, maar is wel moeilijker!
Thanks Again for your great disclaimer!
Hi Nienke,
Thanks for such great advice and inspiration. Would you, pretty please, also agree if I use this page to set up my new blog disclaimer?
Thank you! iW
This is awesome.
With your permission, I would like to modify parts of your disclaimer for my blog.
Thanks!
Sure, no problem!
Hi Nienke!
I can’t even begin to tell you how useful I have found reading this and your how to write a disclaimer post. I find it particularly hard to articulate myself sometimes and I get myself stressed and flustered over it. I have taken advice from your How To Write A Disclaimer article and snippets from this to write my own disclaimer. I hope you don’t mind (if you do please let me know because I would hate to be a nuisance and I’d take it down straight away.) I tried my best to give it my own personal Rachel twist.
I found your blog by chance when googling information on how to write my own disclaimer, but I’m so glad I did. The way you write is so personal and I love your sense of humour! I am subscribed and I can’t wait to hear more from you. :)
Thank you,
Rachel
Great to hear Rachel! That’s so nice of you to let me know! Don’t worry about being articulate, write from the heart and people will enjoy your stories, I’m sure. I wish you all the best with your blog!! Feel free to use any part from the disclaimer you want! Take care!
I would so love to use some of this information. I know it would be way easier for more because I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to making disclaimers. I hope its okay to use it? I know you told a few people it was okay..Thanks for the information this helped me out a lot
Sure, no problem! It’s a hard part of a blog to write, hope it helped you!
Hi Nienke,
I was looking for a way to write a disclaimer and found yours to be not only creative, but also fun to read. Would it be possible to use your disclaimer as inspiration for mine? My blog is in its final stages and will be ready to launch soon.
Great blog and information
Thanks,
Thou
Hi, I love this, and loved the post you wrote about needing this page on your website. Can I use parts on mine please? With changes obviously. :) Thanks!
Thanks Jen! Go for it!
Hi
I found this really useful. We’re currently building a blog so thanks for making this dry topic interesting.
Glad I could help out Ken! Best of luck!
Hi, I love your disclaimer – so personal!
I’d like to request to use parts of it in my own disclaimer, obviously adapted to my own blog :)
Thank you for inspiring me to finally write my own!
Tori recently posted…Alphabet Dating – D – Double Date

Admirable blog and information.

Hello, I am a new blogger and I came across your blog on Disclaimers while searching for how to write a disclaimer.

Thanks Schantta! Absolutely, feel free to use what you like. Good luck!
I am new to blogging and I didn’t even know I needed to have a disclaimer! This is fantastic! I’ve never actually finished reading a disclaimer before. I hope you don’t mind if I use parts as well. Thank you!

Hallo! I’m totally in love with your disclaimer! It’s so creative and fun. I’m just staring a travel blog too and I was completely lost in how to do this till I found you. I know so many people have ask this before but would you mind if I use some parts (not the creative ones) to make the one for my website? Dank je wel.
Hi Tifany, absolutely! No problem! Good luck with your blog!!
Sounds like others have already asked but I too would like to use parts of this for my own blog. I see that you have allowed this with others but none the less wanted to ask permission myself.
Sure, no problem Megan! Good luck!
Your disclaimer is so easy to understand! I love it! This is very helpful. May I please use parts of your disclaimer and make it my own for my own blog disclaimer? It would help me greatly!

Thanks!

This was awesome! Thank you so much. Could I just put a Hyperlink that leads to the Disclaimer or does the full writeup need to represented.
I would think the hyperlink would be fine and I also would shamelessly like to use parts of yours in mine as well. Its the first one online Ive read like a real person wrote it.
Thanks!

Hey Nienke,
Such an amazing twist on such a (usually) boring page!
Your personality shines through!
Would you mind if I used this as a template?

I would love to be able to adapt some of this, mostly structure, to my blog.
Thanks in advance, excellent work!
Sure! Go for it! Good luck with the blog!
This was fantastic! Panic mode was on full force until i came upon this. If you don’t mind, I would like to use this as a guideline? I would give credit where credit is due and provide a link to your website of course.
Haha, great to hear, feel free to use what you can! Good luck with the website!
Hi, Your information on the disclaimer page was really helpful. Thank you so much. I have tried to keep with the lighthearted approach you have taken, and tailored it to the theme of my blog (risk reduction for chronic disease, and life adventures). That topic needs humour. Here is my page – Thanks heaps. http://www.martinkhanliving.com/disclaimer/
Thanks for sharing Melinda, love your disclaimer as well!! Good luck with the site!
Soy tu fan! Si me lo permites, básicamente sí voy a seguir tu estructura. PD: súper creativa, amé cómo escribes. BESOS.
Thank you so much Maia!
I thought this was very well written! I now understand legal things more better now. Like most others I was also wondering if I could use some parts of your disclaimer?
Sure, go for it Brittany!
I love this!!! Wondering if I can use parts for my own disclaimer?!?! : D
Of course! Go for it Krista! Love to read it when you’re finished too!
This disclaimer has been so helpful. Now I finally understand what I need to write and how I can personalize it so it doesn’t sound so stuffy. I would also love to use parts of this disclaimer as a backbone to write my own if you don’t mind. I know you had stated at the end of this article that people were free to use it, but I also like to double check. Thanks so much in advance! Your work is greatly appreciated.
Great to hear Theresa! Feel free to use the parts you want and don’t forget to share a link to your own disclaimer, so we can all read it as well!!
This is a well written disclaimer, easy to understand. I hope I can use some parts to write a disclaimer for my blog. Thanks a lot!
absolutely! good luck with the blog!
Thank you so much for providing this amazing disclaimer. I really appreciate that you are allowing the public to use it for their sites. I was stuck on mine for way too long and just about to lose it. hahaha. This has been a true gift.
Ah, that’s awesome to hear! All the best with your website!
I love your disclaimer!! I am going to join most of the comments on here in asking if I could please use parts of your brilliant disclaimer for my new blog?! Also, I am wondering where on your website do you put the disclaimer? I dont see it as a tab on the top-is it a blog post? Or is it obvious right in front of me and I am not seeing it…? Where in NL are you?! We are moving there (from Nevada, US) next year and we are SO EXCITED!!! Maybe we can be real life friends as well as cyber friends in the future ;)
Hey Jackee! thanks and yes, go for it! I put my disclaimer as a single page, then I link from my footer (bottom of site) menu, as the page is not that important for SEO. How amazing you´re moving to Holland!! I hope you love it there! I am living in London since 3,5 years, so not a lot in the Netherlands anymore unfortunately!! If you´re ever in London, let me know!! I wish you all the best with the site xoxo
Would love to use parts of this to frame my own disclaimer. So incredibly helpful. Thank you!!
absolutely Becca, enjoy!
This is the best disclaimer I have seen! I would love to use parts of it for my blog too (if I ever get it live!), would you mind?
For sure Naomi! Good luck with the blog!
Hi, I love your disclaimer it’s very engaging especially for a disclaimer, would it be okay if I used some parts for my blog?
Absolutely! Go for it Joe!
Of course Joe! Good luck with your site!
I would love to use some of this disclaimer on my new blog. I have no idea where to start on my own! It’s fantastic! Hope that is ok!
For sure! Good luck with the blog!
Of course! All the best with your website!
What a refreshing take on a disclaimer. Especially for those of us who aren’t so serious, but still know we have to have the disclaimers for those knuckleheads out there. Like the others, I’d love to massage this for mine, if you don’t mind. Thanks!
Thanks Brittany! And go for it! Love to see what you’ve come up with for your blog, feel free to share it here!
I started a blog and am now learning the legalities of it. I came across your blog and disclaimer and I was so happy to see you’re allowing other bloggers to use some of it. Thank you so much, you are so awesome!
Thanks for letting me know Linda, glad to hear it was useful to you!! All the best with your blog!
Edited, used, and credited this on my new (soon to be) blog! Thank you so much!!!
Awesome! Good luck with the blog Megan!

Glad to hear you found it useful Jorge! Good luck with the site!
Very nicely done. It’s perfect. Thank you for outstandingly helpful content. And for helping me “CYA” :)
Glad to hear Jonnie!
Thanks Nienke. I’ve been putting off writing this page because of its dull theme so was wonderful to be reminded that there is another way! I’ve done this sort of thing in the past but obviously forgotten I am allowed to express my personality still! Like many others, may I have your permission to weave some of your creativity into our own two required versions?
Hey Colin, absolutely! Go for it! What would we be without a little humor, right? :) Good luck with the blog!
Hi there! This has explained to me what a disclaimer should look like! Could I please base my blog disclaimer off yours as an example? Thanks!
Sure Isobel! Good luck with your site!
Hi Nienke,
Thank you for being generous with sharing your knowledge about writing a fun and serious blog disclaimer.
I followed your template and tailored it to fit my personality and my blog. I also added an acknowledgment to you that links you back to your blog.
Sincerely,
Raya Bergin
Awesome Raya! I love how yours turned out (and I like pizza and anchovies tooo!!!) Thanks so much for the link back as well, I wish you all the best with your blog!
Hi Nienke,
What an awesome disclaimer you have here. Would it be okay to create my disclaimer using yours as inspiration and template? I will give credit of course! Thank you.
Ah, thanks so much! For sure, go for it!
Hello,
I am starting my own blog. I love your disclaimer. May I use it a template for mine? I can also provide a link to your site for credit. Thank you! Please let me know :)
Of course Jordan! Good luck with the blog!
I am loving this outline and am using it as a guide to my own disclaimers! I have referenced you and linked back to your awesome site. Thanks so much for the assistance!
Great to hear Kami! Good luck with the site!
Hi Nienke, I’m in love with your disclaimer. I’ve also used it as a guide for mine but I decided to be all serious. I will probably change it to something similar to yours in the future :) Thanks heaps!
Thanks for sharing Susie, glad to be of help!

Well done!
For sure Katie!
Hey Nienke,
Wow, thank you for posting this. It has helped out significantly. I wanted to use some of your disclaimer…in my disclaimer. Is it possible to email you my complete disclaimer and you approve it. As well, I’d love to give credit to you as well. Thanks!

This post was so helpful! I’ve just set up my first blog and have no idea how to write a disclaimer. I would like to please follow this format and will provide a link to your site at the bottom. If you don’t mind?
That’s fantastic Bonnie! Go for it! Good luck with the site!
Hello Nienke, you’ve got a very funny yet insightful disclaimer. Can I get inspiration from it, please? Thank you so much and take care on your travels! See you on the road!
Love,
Noel
Absolutely Noel! Hope you find it useful for your site! Safe travels!
I am busy using your disclaimer as a basis for mine. I am a new blogger at christines-crafts.com. Thank you so much. It is so accessible and it is something that has been worrying me.
Great to hear Christine! Good luck with the blog!
Hey,
I’m new to blogging, and I have just set up my blog. Yes, I know, Disclaimer is not very serious for me but, I wanna be on the safe side. Anything can happen to anybody no?
So, can I use your Disclaimer as a template for mine? Is it OK?
Really amazing read. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Absolutely! Good luck with your website Nirodha!
This is genius. I’m not as funny as you so I’d love to use parts of this disclaimer, well the actual content text minus your lovely :)
For sure! Have fun with it Nicole :)
Hi Nienke! This disclaimer made me smile, so well done on taking a dry topic and making it very readable! It’s great to see someone with a sense of humour online. I’m in the process of writing a proper disclaimer for my own blog, and your one is great inspiration. I can’t wait to read more of your work!
Soph xo https://sophisobel.com
I love this! I would also like to use the content as well!
This is AMAZING. I’m in the process of adding a disclaimer to my blog; okay if I use yours as a template? Obviously will edit all pieces that are yours and don’t apply to my site, but would love to keep the fun flow and breaks from all the serious jargon with humor in my own disclaimer!
