Disclosure Policy
In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released a revision of their guidelines concerning endorsements and testimonials. This is to protect the interest of the public from any intentionally errant or misleading advertising paid for by a group or company. Considering the fact that this blog is a source of income and may on occasion incorporate endorsements or testimonials, we felt the need to disclose the following to our readers:
- The content of our blog is a source of income for us and therefore may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.
- We will only choose to promote products/services/businesses that we have, in fact, used and that we feel will benefit our readers.
- Our advertising partners provide products for our review free of charge with no cost to ourselves. This does not ensure a positive review of the product in any way.
- Your trust is important to us. We will always give our genuine opinion about a product or service even if we are partnering with the service provider and/or receiving payment in the process
- We would never compromise the truth for a dollar as our ultimate priority is accuracy and fairness to our readers. Always.
- Any mentions of associated products/businesses/services within the content of our blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.
Our goal is to hold the highest standards of integrity. We strive to deliver interesting, helpful, and encouraging content while generating a small profit to compensate us for our time, research, and ideas. We love and appreciate our readers therefore making it our goal to be up front and honest with every post we write.
