America is
my country and I love her dearly, so I like to write
about the things that make her great. I also
love writing about patriotism, emergency preparedness,
self-defense, and political issues. I have a number of
websites all covering different aspects of these related
topics. These websites do cost money to run, and since I
do not accept advertising on any of my sites
(which would ruin your experience or clutter up the
pages) I do use some affiliate banners and links to help cover the
costs. That means, if you buy a product through a link
on this site, I may make a small commission. This does
not in any way affect the amount you have to pay for the
product. Since I have a relationship with these
companies, I do occasionally get better deals from the
companies I affiliate with, which in turn means you get
better deals and bigger discounts.
The Federal Trade Commission requires that I disclose
any relationship I have between a product manufacturer
or service provider when I write about a product or
service.
Here are the guidelines I operate under here at Gonzo's
Garage:
I am never paid to
do a review. I never accept money to review a
product or service. I invest my own time to review
and test products. I pay out of my own pocket the
cost to produce all audio and/or video I record
about products.
If I create a link
to a product or service in a review, sometimes I may
get paid a commission if you purchase the product or
service.
These links are
included after posts are written, and posts are
never composed for the purpose of including
advertising.
No advertiser will
ever influence the content, topics or posts made in
this blog.
These are good rules
and practices in today’s digital world. It’s important
for you to understand the relationship between a person
reviewing the product and the manufacturer or service
provider.
If you don’t see a disclosure policy on a blog or
website that markets affiliate products, that reviewer
may be violating the law or at the very least the Code
of Ethics.
