I'm starting up a new internet business editing students essays, and I'd like to put a disclaimer on my website. It's a pretty simple one, and I've found information about what needs to go in it based on the disclaimers used on similar sites. Am I able to write the disclaimer myself or should it be written by a lawyer? Being a brand new business, and also a home based, part-time business, I don't think I can afford a lawyer!

Best to leave the law to a lawyer.

I think a lawyer or an authorized personal, has to write the disclaimer

I would recommend having the lawyer do it. Whatever the fee is could be considered part of your start-up costs, which you can elect to deduct up to a certain amount.

you could try to find a similar website, from a very established organization who is doing something similar to what you're wanting to do. They most likely already have a staffed legal dept at their company. Or pay an attorney.

you can write it yourself. it is the users option, to use/avail of your services. it is use at your own risk. just keep your disclaimer simple.
