Description 

The Legal Disclaimer element is a placeholder block of text that is added to an outgoing email to limit liability. It often appears at the bottom of an email and covers any and all liabilities for the product or service that you provide.   

NOTE: To protect your business, it is highly advisable to use an appropriate legal disclaimer on your emails. It's simply not worth the risk. Email disclaimers will never provide you 100% protection against any legal action. Still, it makes sense to include disclaimers to provide an extra level of legal protection. Laws continually change, so you need to make sure that you keep up. The text included in your email disclaimer might work in one region but not another.

To include Legal Disclaimer in your email signature, simply drag and drop the Legal Disclaimer element.
