Comment Policy
We welcome comments from our visitors! We value your opinions, your right to express your freedom of speech, and respect the unique views of each visitor to our site; however, we may choose not to post comments that have explicit language or content or are just hateful and rude for the sake of being hateful and rude. We want our website to uphold the values in which we believe and to present content we would feel comfortable for our young nieces and nephews, and eventually our children, to peruse as well as yours.
Though it may not always be possible, we will endeavor to respond to comments from our visitors.
Disclosures
The Federal Trade Commission has put in place rules to ensure that consumers are advised if a company is advertising a product, service, or other business which may lead to a possible benefit to the advertiser.
Our site, The Winsome Wanderer, is a source of income for our family and therefore we may advertise or post advertisements for a service or product, have an affiliate relationship with a company, review a product, have a sponsor, or post a testimonial of a product which may result in income.
Having said that,
- our practice will be to promote services, products, and connections that we feel we would personally use or have used. We will also purpose to ensure that products and companies that we endorse line up well with our values; however, we cannot guarantee that values will always line up.
- we realize that any relationship between us, The Winsome Wanderers and our representatives, and you, our readers and visitors, must be based on honesty, accuracy, and integrity.
- if we receive a product to review (which may be at no cost to us except when filing our taxes), we will provide our honest opinion, positive or negative, of the product regardless of any benefit we may or may not receive resulting from that opinion.
- we may not note an affiliation/advertising relationship in each and every mention or reference to a product, service, or business.
- we have chosen to link to some services, advertisers, and affiliates for products, services, etc that we feel have value. When you click on one of these links and purchase a product, we may receive a small commission as payment for advertising for them.
We will always endeavor to run our business with strong values, honesty, and integrity. We are not doctors, psychologists, counselors, accountants, attorneys or other such specialists/experts. If for the purpose of an article we consult with a recognized specialist, we will credit them for the information they provide. We however, as a general rule, are just a family sharing what we feel to be helpful tips, ideas, experiences, plans, tools, products and more, and we genuinely hope that you too will find value in our content.
Additionally, we are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
