This intention must be determined by the site prior to each call to store an exception, at the time of the call. (This allows the user to change their mind, and delete a stored exception, which might then trigger the site to explain, and ask for, the exception again).

When requesting site-wide or web-wide exceptions, the upmost care should be taken in relaying to the user the breadth and expanse of the exception they are granting. This is not to suggest the party requesting the exception takes on direct liability for the parties the user is granting an exception to but rather it's critical that requesters of user granted exceptions take care to appropriately express the scope of that exception such that liability is appropriately placed on the parties benefiting from the exception."
