SED #7: Commidea

They mean well, but sadly Commidea has no idea when it comes to legalese. This disclaimer also had some lovely HTML formatting and centre justification which sadly didn't make the cut (and paste). Also MessageLabs just had to stick their oar in - they're solely responsible for a good proportion of the e-waste found in corporate email disclaimers, I've seen it in emails from county councils and even UK.gov! Anyway, enjoy.

SED #6: All Branded CD & DVD Limited

This legalese nonsense was received via a generic dropbox earlier today. Classic single paragraph stuff.

This was in bold red type for added legal weight (I've inconsiderately removed said formatting).
