disclaimers of endorsement and liability. Aggressive use of disclaimers (notices,
warnings) is encouraged.

Guidelines
- Use of "universal" disclaimers is generally not necessary
for IHS home pages. Instead, disclaimers should be included in individual documents when
necessary. For example, a document that mentions specific commercial products might
include a disclaimer stating that no endorsement is implied.
- Disclaimer of Endorsement
IHS web pages containing links to external web pages should include a statement that
releases IHS from responsibility for the material included. It is important to avoid
giving the impression that IHS is endorsing external information or products.
- Disclaimer of Liability
Disclaimers of Liability address references to commercial products and services as well as
merchantability and fitness for purpose.
- Privacy Notice Disclaimer
Disclaimers should be included to advise the public of intended use of information learned
about site visitors.
- Reference the HHS World Wide Web Applications and the Internet
Best Practices and Guidelines, http://www.hhs.gov/progorg/oirm/bestguid.html
for additional information.
