This disclosure is our attempt to be in full compliance with the policy set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other local regulatory bodies as well as laws that demand transparency regarding all affiliate relationships that we may have on our website. Be advised that you, as a visitor or customer, can assume that any links you come across on our website are in fact affiliate links.

If you decide to click on any link to visit the site that results, a “cookie” will be placed in your webs browser, causing us to be paid a commission IN THE EVENT you purchase a product or service on that site. This is a perfectly legitimate means of monetizing our website so that we can pay to operate the site. We are happy to disclose any affiliate relationships we have to you.

Additionally, we disclose that the hyperlinks placed on this site are most often shortened, and sometimes cloaked to conceal lengthy unattractive links for the purposes of tracking and functionality. This is not to facilitate the hiding anything. We take pride in our relationships with the outstanding vendors and the products and services we feature on our site. Link cloaking, tracking and shortening is very commonly done on websites of all types.

Moreover, we receive no money or physical products as a direct exchange for any posts or reviews you come across on our site. No one pays or has paid us to write posts or review products or services. However, we will tell you that there is a possibility that our posts and reviews are or have been swayed by our affiliate relationships. Some may consider this a conflict of interest.

We do not think there is a conflict of interest, but you must decide yourself by considering our affiliate relationships and the techniques we use for placing links as we’ve discussed.

 

As set forth by the FTC – Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements & Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), the policy’s purpose is to institute a compensatory affiliation between the owner of this website and affiliate networks Share-A-Sale, Google, Commission Junction, Clickbank, Amazon and any vendors they represent and that the owner of this website has instituted an affiliate relationship.

This website may on occasion accept forms of paid insertions, sponsorships, cash advertising or other types of affiliate compensation. Said compensation may or may not sway the ad content, topics covered or postings on this website. That ad space, content or post may not in every instance be identified as sponsored or paid content. Not all content is presented or written for the singular purpose of garnering affiliate income.

The owners of this site are compensated via a variety of affiliate programs and at times the content offers opinions on other websites, topics, products and/or services. Although the owners of this site may be receiving affiliate compensation for advertisements or reviews, we always express our honest beliefs, opinions, experiences or findings on those products or topics. The opinions and views offered on this website are completely the site’s own. Any product or service quote, statistic, claim or some other representation should be validated by the party in question, provider or manufacturer.

This website contains some content that may or may not be a conflict of interest and it may not in every case be immediately identified because of the way in which postings are made. Whenever possible we will make every effort to identify advertising as opposed to content that is non-advertising and general in nature.
