Assuming that you are in the US you might want to put some kind of

downloading stuff from your site to ensure that they comply with
any and all export regulations.
I am not a lawyer and have no idea whether this kind of statement
actually gives you any real protection but obviously someone at
DEC once thought that it did ...
