Why doesn't my margin-left work properly?

Issue

Why is the indent on the lines in the continuation of the disclaimer span at the bottom not affected by the the

.footer-text {
margin-left: 5%;
}

I put in the css?

Solution

Because that footer text is in a span, which is not a block element. If you change it to a div or add the css rule display: block;, it will work as you expect. You can find more information about display property at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display#examples
