TESTIMONIALS DISCLAIMER

The Site may contain testimonials by users of our products and/or services. These testimonials reflect the real-life experiences and opinions of such users. However, the experiences are personal to those particular users, and may not necessarily be representative of all users of our products and/or services. We do not claim, and you should not assume, that all users will have the same experiences. YOUR INDIVIDUAL RESULTS MAY VARY. 

The testimonials on the Site are submitted in various forms such as text, audio and/or video, and are reviewed by us before being posted. They appear on the Site verbatim as given by the users, except for the correction of grammar or typing errors. Some testimonials may have been shortened for the sake of brevity where the full testimonial contained extraneous information not relevant to the general public.

The views and opinions contained in the testimonials belong solely to the individual user and do not reflect our views and opinions. For some testimonials, users are paid for their time and effort via a direct payment via PayPal or other such means.

The testimonials on the Site are not intended, nor should they be construed, as claims that our products and/or services can be used to diagnose, treat, mitigate, cure, prevent, or otherwise be used for any disease or medical condition. No testimonials have been clinically proven or evaluated.

FTC DISCLOSURE

To save us time, we will occasionally list products, literature, or gadgets we either use, consume, have reviewed, or otherwise enjoy on this site. Because of this, and because the FTC requires bloggers to provide disclosures when there are, possibly, hidden interests or unspoken biases related to any recommendations we make on our sites, when reading through our site, here are a couple of promises:

  • Since, in our view, there’s nothing worse than the scammers, con artists, and scumbags out there pushing things you don’t need, from the latest technology craze, miracle “how to make money online” cure or any other crap, we promise never to do that.
  • We will occasionally review and endorse products on this site.  In some cases, we may have received a free copy of the product to review it.  Sometimes, we may decide to become an affil­i­ate of the product. How­ever we do not, and will not, accept payment for any product review, nor do we take part in link exchanges of any kind.
  • We may become an affiliate of products that we believe are truly helpful to our customers (or readers), which means we may receive a commission on purchases you make through any links we provide.
  • Any recommendations we may provide are, first and foremost, based on the product’s merit.  We would make these recommendations either because of our actual review of the product, the product’s value and quality, or based on our knowledge of the author’s expertise on the subject and his/her/their reputation.

Some of the consequences of the FTP disclosure requirements are, for instance, that if we interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, we would need to specify this in the interview. We would also have to specify that we use an Amazon link that gets us 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets us no (0) cents. The same applies if someone gives us a cool t-shirt with a logo and we wear it in a photo. We need to put disclaimers all over.

As bloggers, sometimes businesses invite us to experience their services on the house or host us for a visit. We also do contracted work with brands and destinations to bring awareness to their product or experience.  Please note that while all opinions expressed within our blog are our own, we may have been comped, received a paycheck, or asked to write something in exchange for the fun time.  Per the FTC Disclosure rules, we do need to call this out.

This would be tedious for us and a continual eye sore for readers. But the government said we have to, so in the spirit of “rules are rules”, along with our need to cover our collective a**es and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every recommendation, link, and product we use, the following all hold true:

While it certainly is not always the case, you should assume that we have an affiliate relationship and/or another material connection to the providers of goods and services mentioned on thememyghost.com or any of its subdomains.  You should always perform due diligence before buying goods or services from anyone via the Internet or offline.
