Errors and omissions excepted
E&OE is an initialism standing for errors and omissions excepted.[1] The phrase is used in an attempt to reduce legal liability for incorrect or incomplete information supplied in a contractually related document such as a quotation or specification. It is often applied as a disclaimer in situations in which the information to which it is applied is relatively fast moving. In legal terms, it seeks to make a statement that information can be relied upon, or may have changed by the time of use. It is also used when a lot of information is listed against a product to state that to the best of the suppliers knowledge the information is correct but that they will not be held responsible if an error is found.
