Disclosure Policy
In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission {FTC} revised their guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in order to protect the public from any intentionally errant or misleading advertising (that has been paid for by a group or company). Rarely, Ruffles and Rain Boots incorporates endorsements or testimonials, and we felt we should say:
- I am very selective in which companies I work with and only select those that I believe will resonate with you, my readers.
- No matter the compensation, any review will be honest and I will give my true opinion.
- I will never compromise this platform or yourfaith in it) to make a buck.
- This blog is a source of income from my family and sometimes I mention affiliate links – these are at no additional cost to you and often come with a discount. It is safe to click on them.
Affiliate and Sponsored Links
On occasion, I use affiliate or sponsored links. This means if you click on a link and decide to buy something, I may make a small percentage of a purchase you make, at no additional cost to you. Keeping your trust is tantamount, so I only share links for products and services we use. I have, and will continue, to decline all of the money-making requests I receive because I’d rather you think this is a valuable resource.
