Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Re: Liability

You need to prepare instruction sheets for your distributors, resellers, and installers. You should also have all of these businesses in the distribution chain sign releases and indemnifications. In other words, your contracts with these parties have to be VERY carefully worded.

Finally, you could get releases from the consumers themselves.

You would do best by hiring an experienced attorney to make sure the contracts are well-drafted and to guide you in the process. If you sell globally, you may also need assistance with intellectual property, international law, and other legal issues.
