Disclosure & privacy policy

The opinions and views expressed in this blog are my own personal ones.  I write honestly about my experiences and opinions.

I enjoy building relationships with brands and creating interesting posts for my readers that generate reach for brands that I am proud to be associated with.   As such reviews, advertorials and sponsored posts can be found on my blog and are always marked.  

Reviews.

Review posts are written by myself after being tested by myself or my family members.  Review posts of items that I have received to review for free from a brand are clearly marked as such.  As well as reviewing items that I have been sent for free I also review products and experiences that I have bought or been gifted by friends or family that have not been provided by a company.

I do not get paid for testing products and writing reviews, although I do get to keep the product or attend an experience for free in compensation for the time and effort of providing an honest review.

I put all my effort into writing a review, giving honest opinions on the product highlighting the good and bad points that I may find while testing out the product and my overall satisfaction.  In my detailed, honest review I include appropriate links (no follow) to the product website, original photographs taken by myself (occasionally stock photos provided by the sponsor are included) and I also occasionally link to appropriate, relevant websites.

I complete my reviews in the soonest time possible given the required testing time to get a true opinion of the product. 

I reserve the right to provide my honest opinion, positive and negative, and by supplying your product for review you agreeing to this. 

I review all products in the same way whether i have bought the product myself, been given it as a gift or been given the product for free to review by a company. 

I give a brief summary and description of products, stating facts from the company where necessary, however any product claim, quote, statistic or other details about a product or service should be verified with the company who provides the product or service in question.

If you have a product that you would like me to review please contact me on rootsandwingsentwine@gmail.com

I accept sponsored post on my blog.  Sponsored posts are articles that I have been paid to write and publish on my blog. Sponsored posts will be marked as AD. Unless agreed upon beforehand sponsored links will remain live on the blog for 1 year.

Advertorials and featured guest posts.

Advertorials and featured guest posts are posts that I have been provided by a brand to promote their company or product and I have been paid to host on my blog.

All sponsored posts, advertorials and guest posts will be highlighted as such. Disclosure wording can be discussed to meet the requirements of the brand. Unless agreed upon beforehand sponsored links will remain live on the blog for 1 year.

I host prize draws on my blog.  Occasionally I will run a prize draw for the same or similar item that I have reviewed.  I also run prize draws where I have received no review item or payment for hosting the prize draw on my blog.  All terms and conditions will be displayed on the individual prize draw post.
