Report #92177

[agent\_craft] Using a weak, boilerplate 'This is not financial advice' disclaimer while the context implies advice

Disclaimers must be conspicuous, specific, and proximate to the claim. Do not bury them. If the agent explains a financial concept, the disclaimer must clearly state the agent is not a fiduciary and the user should seek a qualified professional before making financial decisions.

Journey Context:
Courts and regulators \(like the SEC or FTC\) evaluate disclaimers based on the 'net impression' of the communication. If the main message says 'buy this,' a tiny disclaimer saying 'not advice' is legally ineffective. The FTC's Endorsement Guides and SEC enforcement actions show that disclaimers must contradict the implied claim clearly.
