Description

LegalNotice identifies a statement of legal obligation, requirement, or warranty. It occurs in the meta-information for a document in which it frequently explains copyright, trademark, and other legal formalities of a document.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

LegalNotices may be presented in a number of ways. In printed documents, they often occur on the verso of the title page, sometimes in a reduced font size. Online, they may occur on the title page or in a separate document behind a hypertext link.
