<p><strong>Disclosure Policy for Product Reviews</strong></p>
<div>The <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/multimedia/video/business/endorsement-guides.shtm">Federal Trade Commission (F.T.C.)</a> requires that I disclose any relationship I have between a product manufacturer and/or service provider when I write about a product or service.</div>
<div>Here are the guidelines I operate under at FranklinSpellers.com:</div>
<ul>
<li>I am never paid by anyone, individual or company, to do a review on their behalf. I have never accepted and never will 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 any videos I make about products.</li>
<li>I don&#8217;t always pay for the products I test. Some times they are sent to me by the manufacturer. Rarely, do I request a product. In almost all cases, the manufacturer approaches me first via email.<br />
If I feel it&#8217;s a product you might get benefit from, and it fits into my business model, then I request they send me the product.</li>
<li>It is seldom that I return the products after I test them. I am an individual and so don&#8217;t have the staff or the resources to process the return of the products. That is made clear to manufacturers when I agree to a product test/review</li>
<li>If I create a link from my website to a product in a review I have undertaken, sometimes I may get paid a commission if you purchase the product or service.  Other times I may not get paid, such are the intricacies of online tracking of purchases.</li>
</ul>
<div>These are good rules and practices in today&#8217;s digital world, rules I fully endorse and adhere to in a clear and transparent manner. I see it as important for you as a consumer to understand the relationship, if any, between a person reviewing the product and the manufacturer or service provider. If you don&#8217;t see a disclosure policy as part of a review of a product, that reviewer could well be violating the law or at the very least the Code of Ethics.</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my affiliate trading disclosure. Enjoy your time @ Franklin Spellers.</div>
