| 0:00.0 | Hey, y'all. You're listening to a Q&A with S&J. |
| 0:04.6 | Welcome to the Flip Lifestyle Podcast, where life always comes before work. |
| 0:10.6 | We're your host, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. |
| 0:14.4 | Join us each week as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside down by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something |
| 0:22.7 | different? All right. Let's get started. What's up guys? Welcome back to a Q&A with S&J. This is our |
| 0:32.2 | mini podcast that we come out with twice a week where we answer your questions. If you have any |
| 0:36.7 | questions about online business, you can send those to us over at fliplifestyle.com slash Q-A-S-J. And we have a little form there where you can submit your question. Today's question comes from Laura Gottz. Does that spell goats? I'm not sure. Laura, I don't know what it says. We are very sorry for Betraying your name. I'm going to spell it. G-O-E-T-Z. Okay, Laura G. Laura G writes, what types of disclaimers do you need to include in your websites, emails, and books? Okay. So this is basically what kind of terms and conditions. And Laura, I guess you're asking about |
| 1:12.5 | legal liability, how to kind of exclude yourself from that where you make people like sign your |
| 1:16.4 | terms and conditions. And we always preface all of these discussions with this simple point. |
| 1:21.3 | With our disclaimer. And this is our disclaimer about the disclaimers. Our disclaimer is that we are |
| 1:27.3 | not legal professionals we are not |
| 1:30.0 | attorneys so whatever we take take with a grain of salt if you really have a niche where you've got |
| 1:34.8 | something with really complicated legal stuff or maybe there is liability involved please go see a |
| 1:40.5 | lawyer and don't rely on what we're about to tell you. Okay. That's our disclaimer about |
| 1:44.8 | those claimers. Laura, this is a question that we have had a few times and that we've actually |
| 1:50.4 | had ourselves when we were starting out in online business. And it is very tricky to answer because |
| 1:55.6 | like Shane said, we are not legal professionals. We are not lawyers. And we are just kind of doing |
| 2:00.6 | the best that we can. |
| 2:02.1 | But what we did is we just went out online and found other websites who were doing similar |
| 2:08.8 | things, looked at their disclaimers and sort of modeled hours after theirs. And I think that this |
| 2:14.7 | is probably the best way to go about it. If you are doing something specialized, maybe it's like in the health industry, something to do with wellness or, you know, something that could maybe be harmful to people, like as far as their well-being, you might want to go a step further like Shane was saying and possibly hire someone to help you to write a disclaimer for that. |
| 2:37.6 | I have a pretty complicated niche in this because I sell football products. |
