[thelist] liability and the web

[tss24 at cornell.edu]

ok guys, one last big question for now, i hope.

when designing a website for a client, how big is the 
issue of liability?

is it directly related to how good your contract is?

so if we state in it, we aren't repsonsible if your 
site fails, server breaks, ect (things beyond our 
control), than are we generally safe?

i'm asking this question in terms of most likely, 
because i know there are so many exceptions, you can 
get sued for almost anything (like coffee being hot 
anyone :)
