Actually I believe it to be false, although IANAL.
If a court holds that a contract contains elements which are
unreasonable, it can strike out not just the unreasonable bits but the
entirety of the clause or clauses which contain them -- including the
"reasonable" remainder. This means that including unreasonable
disclaimers is highly counterproductive!

What your marketing department really needs is an e-mail disclaimer
that can talk pseudo-legal gibberish while delivering 240v AC to the
unfortunate recipients of its important messages.
Just make sure that they get copied on everything they send.
