Additional Disclaimers & Disclosures

Last Updated: March 16, 2023

This page was created to provide additional clarity on how we create the content of this website, our relationships with product companies and manufacturers, etc.  We are also disclosing this information in an effort to be in accordance with the FTC’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising“. 16 CFR, Part 255

Receipt of Products

In some cases for our reviews, we receive the product for free in exchange for us considering writing a review (in some cases, where noted specifically, we may just provide a summary of the findings of customers elsewhere). Simply receiving a product does not guarantee we will publish a review of it.

In some cases on our reviews you may find “affiliate links.” Essentially what that means is that if you click the link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. This comes at no cost to you whatsoever. It simply means that the origin of the sale is tracked back to our website. We may also provide a coupon for a product that is used to track the source of a sale, for which we are then compensated.

Not all companies pay a commission, so in an effort to provide full transparency for those reading the reviews, below we will disclose the list of companies with whom we have a direct affiliate relationship (either through direct link or coupons we provide).
