How to Add Disclaimer to a Wix Site

Adding a Disclaimer to your Wix website comes with many benefits. It also may be a requirement in some cases, such as with affiliate disclaimers.

Maybe you're trying to limit your liability with a use at your own risk disclaimer, spruce up your blog with a blog content disclaimer, or display another helpful, informative disclaimer on your Wix website. Either way, we can help.

Here are the quick and easy steps to take to add a disclaimer to your Wix website and link it to your Wix site's footer. We also have a Disclaimer Generator to help you create any disclaimers you may need or want.

When Should My Wix Website Have a Disclaimer

There are a number of instances when your Wix website will need at least one disclaimer, and oftentimes many disclaimers. Let's look at just a few of them.

If you engage in affiliate marketing, you're legally required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S. to post an appropriate affiliate disclaimer even if your website runs on Wix.

If you wish to avoid legal liability for any advice, instructions or products you offer, you'll need to include a disclaimer that protects you and your website.

If your website discusses topics such as medical, financial or legal information, a disclaimer will make it clear that no professional relationship is being formed between you and the reader.

Ecommerce websites should include warranty disclaimers for added protection in case some of the sold products are faulty.

While most disclaimers are not a legal requirement, they come with some priceless legal benefits. This means you can avoid a lot of potential legal hassles in the future by adding appropriate disclaimers to your website today.
