Well, I don't know other jurisdictions, but in Germany something like "as permitted by law" is automatically moot, and so is the line you quoted, as I was told... (Or the line may be intact but a empty condition as the disclaimer is empty, don't know how they make it..) Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.
