I do not receive monetary compensation from this blog.

I have no paid affiliation with the companies, products, services, websites or other topics reviewed on this blog.

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own.  I will only endorse products or services that I believe are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

Also, please be assured that I never share email addresses, or any other information obtained from comments or giveaways.

Please note that  I am not responsible for companies that do not fulfill their prizes. I have represented each product with the expectation the company will fulfill their prize in a timely manner.  I will contact the company regarding your prize(s). The companies, in most cases, are shipping their items to you directly. I will make every effort to assist you obtaining your prize, but ultimately I am not responsible if they do not fulfill your prize win.

Fair Use of Images Rationale

Due to the nature of my blogging, I often use images that are subject to copyright.  My use of these images is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, to the best of my knowledge.  Any error brought to my attention will be remedied as quickly as possible.  

Images are most often the property of a company who has asked me to write a post.  

Other times, I may use a significant photo that is widely available to illustrate a topic I am writing about.  In these instances I use low resolution images, indicate that I do not own them, and I do not ever achieve monetary gain from their use.  Photos are generally used for informational purposes and their inclusion in an article is for the benefit of the reader, rather than the writer.
