In line with the rules set by the Federal Trade Commission, the following disclosure is to ensure www.roughingitright.com is in compliance with the policy set by the Federal Trade Commission about being transparent in regard to any and all affiliated related relations that www.roughingitright.com may have on this website.
The rules are put in place to ensure that subscribers, readers, viewers and visitors to web based media know if the author/creator of the content is sponsored , endorsed and/or partnered in any way with a third party company.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, you, the visitor or customer, should assume that some content on this site may contain affiliate related links to products or services and that if you click on these links and visit the resulting site, a cookie may or will be set in your web browser that could result in us receiving a commission for the referral “IF” you make a purchase on the other end. This will however be at no extra cost to you.
What are affiliate links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on .com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from roughingitright.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay roughingitright.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
This is a legitimate way to monetise and pay for the operation of websites and we are happy to reveal our affiliate relationships to you.
I may use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
roughingitright.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links.
If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not “pay per click.” If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product
affiliate links.
These
affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the
product, then the blogger gets a percentage of the sale or some other
type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and
online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. Again, prices
are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay
more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per
click”, unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.
www.roughingitright.com does not operate on a “pay per click” type of compensation, nor will provide any sponsored related content but instead only provides links to products and services we have researched, personally used, purchased and/or invested in ourselves and believe to be of value and beneficial to the end user including being purchased from trusted business identities that we ourselves can confidently recommend in good faith to others.
Any and all affiliate related products and/or services purchased through our links to recommended partner resources are not refundable through www.roughingitright.com or it’s author(s). Any and all refunds through affiliated companies will require the purchaser to contact the company/vendor that fulfilled that product or service and that any refunds must go through that company.
As www.roughingitright.com and it’s author(s) cannot control another company or their policies regarding refunds, please ensure you fully understand their policies and procedures prior to purchasing a product or service through that company that we may have referred you to before purchasing. We have no control over delivery, quality or customer service of any other company and cannot be held liable for other companies products or services.
