Waiver & Disclaimer

[classicmisa]

Dear friends,

Would you explain for me the differences between a "waiver" and "disclaimer" normally seen in English contracts.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks copyright, however, I want to distinguish the definition of waiver and disclaimer because I found them very often in legal contracts. Do they have the same meaning? Here is a example of a waiver provision.

Not only are waiver and disclaimer defined quite nicely here in the attached dictionary, but there are multiple previous discussions for each word.

Note than they are distinct words and are not bound to each other.

Have you checked them?
