Since, as far as I know, there is no direct legal precedent I would
suggest it would be wise to at least have a "no warranty expressed
or implied, use at your own risk, may be terminated at any time
without notice" contract. Some companies may want to get fancier.
Without any contract you're ripe pickings for a long court case only
to see a judge "make new law", IMHO.
