In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance.
These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media are aware if the blogger or publisher is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. The readers need to know if the content publisher is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site:
Any/all of the links on Fireplace Paradise are affiliate links for which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: when a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on Fireplace Paradise to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from Fireplace Paradise).
Amazon and/or other companies pay Fireplace Paradise a small commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to their website.
Prices are exactly the same for readers whether they purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. Clicking an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.
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.”
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to provide authentic, unbiased information. However, if a company would like to publish sponsored content on Fireplace Paradise, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.
The bottom line is that I only recommend products I use myself or that I would recommend to family and friends.
Your purchase helps support my research efforts. Thank you very, very much! I appreciate you!
