When discussing disclaimers (as in "If you ___, we cannot be held responsible" type of statements), is malkonfeso the best word?

I looked for disclaimer (no matches) in Lernu's vortaro, and so fell back to 'disclaim'. Which Lernu suggests malkonfesi (to recant/disavow/disclaim) and Wells suggests fornei (to deny).

malkonfeso seems right to me, but I wasn't sure if the real sense of "disclaimer" was there or not.

Esperanto Wikipedia has a malgarantio.

darkweasel:Esperanto Wikipedia has a malgarantio.
I'm trying to work out if that makes sense?!

Another option is "Averto pri nerespondeco", which I found in Sonja Kisa's online dictionary. I like this suggestion as it's very clear.

komputeko suggests "malgarantio" and "malpretendo".

A disclaimer in a product specification does seem to be some sort of warning.

So averto pri nespondeco seems good - you could also use malakcepti (reject).

For a renunciation of a claim then 'malpretendi' might work.

NPIV lists 'renonci' (bizarrely as ntr) - sciigi ne-partoprenon en aranĝo.

In 'to disclaim all knowledge of..' (deny), 'negi' is a possibility. Negi la ekziston de Dio.

I think of the suggestions so far, I like malgarantio the best--a disclaimer is "I don't guarantee anything." an anti-guarantee. rideto.gif

Thanks for mentioning komputeko--I almost asked what it was, did a web search instead and found it. Handy Resource!

"Se vi rompus tiun ĉi glumarkon, ni ne garantiigus la produkton"

That's my Esperanto for the day okulumo.gif

I'm not sure I like the use of 'mal-' in this sense. A guarantee is an active promise to meet certain conditions regarding quality etc. So the direct opposite of this could be seen as a active promise to fail to meet these conditions!

Does "malgarantio" confuse anyone else, I wonder?!
