Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Such a disclaimer protects the company from potential liability for any negligent misstatements made by its employees in their emails. It serves as a way to limit the company's legal responsibility and prevent recipients from relying solely on the advice given by the employee. It does not protect the company from transmission of viruses or employee misuse, as these are not related to the content of the emails. It also does not address implied contractual obligations, as that would require a separate disclaimer or agreement.
