I’d be surprised if this statement really has an effect. I’d be very surprised if you would be considered exempt from libel legislation, for example, simply because you have stated that you are not responsible for injurious errors.
What would you suggest instead, David?
Well as a protection against the tort of Defamation you cannot do much to be honest except be as accurate as possible and stay away from libellous material. It seems to me that you have always done a good job staying away from naming most individual which does protect their integrity. I would not be scared about such action myself, well that is just my academic opinion.
In itself the disclaimer “All data and information provided on this site is for informational purposes only. http://rongroseliu.com and Penning an Image makes no representations as to the accuracy, completeness, currentness, suitability, or validity of any information on this site” should be sufficient. The second part is great a great way to reassure your employer or institution.
The limitation of liability would, however, be held in most procedure to be void of regards.
Always good to get a professional opinion 🙂
Depends what you’re trying to accomplish. I don’t think you can escape libel laws if you actually say something false and injure someone because of it.
Personally, I would cut the disclaimer out. Maybe keep the part about your views not necessarily representing those of your employers, etc., if you’re worried about getting in trouble that way.
Hmm, I’m noticing some consensus among the commenters on this issue.

Interesting, both as a blanket statement of absence of liability and for the fact you allowed to comment on it.
Uh… Let me get back to you when I learn something from my Law of Public Authorities course. (Rose on borrowed 3G, somewhere off the coast of Georgian Bay)
