Affiliate Disclaimer

The disclosure that follows is intended to fully comply with the FTC’s policy that requires us to be transparent about any and all affiliate relations we may have on this website. As a visitor or customer, be aware that that links to products and services on this site are affiliate links. If you click on these links and visit the resulting site, a cookie will be set in your web browser that will allow us to receive a commission IF you purchase a product on the other end. This is a legitimate way to monetize and pay for the operation of web sites and we gladly reveal our affiliate relationships to you.

In addition we fully disclose that hyperlinks on this site are often shortened, and in some cases cloaked to hide long ugly links for functionality and tracking purposes. This is not an attempt to hide anything and is often simply an easier way to enter links to other sites. Link tracking, shortening and cloaking is common practice on all types of web sites.

We do not receive physical products or cash directly in exchange for positive reviews or posts you find on this site, our reviews and posts may be influenced by our affiliate relationships and may constitute to some a conflict of interest. While we do not believe a conflict of interest exists, the site visitor or customer must decide by considering the affiliate relationships and link techniques we have described. Obviously we would like you to buy the service or products we write about and we are influenced by that fact. We attempt to avoid conflict by only reviewing or posting products and services we believe in and we strive to always give our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on topics or products we write about and promote.

Other vendors may also pay to place advertising on our sites in the form of banners, widgets and hyperlinks. These are paid advertisements and while we do our best to only allow quality products and services to be advertised on our site, we are not responsible for claims or testimonials made on paid advertising links.
