Errors and omissions excepted
Errors and omissions excepted (E&OE[1]) is a phrase 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 cannot 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 supplier's knowledge - the information is correct, but that they will not be held responsible if an error is found.
