not liable

Free from blame

Not liable means not legally responsible or obligated.

The phrase appears most often in legal and contractual contexts, where parties disclaim responsibility for certain outcomes: The company is not liable for injuries sustained on the premises.

Someone found not liable in court has been cleared of legal responsibility for alleged harm or damages.
