Disclosure

NYC Single Mom.com disclosure policy:

This policy is valid from November 10, 2011 and may be changed at any time, without notice.

NYC Singlemom.com  is a personal blog written and edited Linda Grant , aka NYC Single Mom. For questions about this blog, please contact her @ nycsinglemom@gmail.com

Compensation

This blog accepts many forms of compensation, including (but not limited to) paid posts, sponsorships, advertising, products, and trips.

The compensation Linda receives may influence the advertising content, links, or post topics of this blog, but will never influence my opinion on any subject or product.

If a reader clicks on a link or advertisement on NYCSingleMom.com and subsequently makes a purchase on that website, or uses a discount code found on NYCSinglemom.com,  Linda  may receive some form of compensation (cash or otherwise) from that company or website.

Compensation Levels

Compensation levels will be stated clearly at the end of any post that mentions a product, service or location that is covered by any of the levels listed below (or possibly within a post if there are many products listed, such as a gift list).

If no compensation level is listed, it is to be assumed that there was no compensation involved with the post or any products, services or locations mentioned in the post.

For the purposes of these levels, Linda does not consider transportation to and from a local event, or food consumed at an event, as compensation.  Compensation refers to cash, gift certificates, products, or services.

Level 1: The product or service mentioned was provided to NYC Single Mom.com free of charge.

Level 2: The product or service mentioned was provided to NYCSinglemom.com,  free of charge and NYCSinglemom.com was compensated to post about the product or service.*

Level 3: NYCSinglemom.com was compensated for inserting links from a specific website into this post.

Level 4: NYCSinglemom.com was compensated for including a product in pictures or videos in this post.

Level 5: NYCSinglemom.com was compensated for attending the event mentioned in this post.

Level 6: NYCSinglemom.com was compensated for posting about the event mentioned in this post.

Level 7: NYCSinglemom.com  was provided with transportation, food, lodging, tickets, and/or other incidentals for the trip mentioned in this post.

Level 8: Products or services were provided to NYCSinglemom.com to give away in a contest.

Level 9: Products or services were provided to NYCSinglemom.com to give away in a contest and to keep for her own use or for review.

Level 10:  NYCSinglemom.com was compensated for administering the giveaway.

Level 11: The product or service mentioned advertises directly with NYCSinglemom.com.

Level 12: This is a sponsored post.  NYCSinglemom.com was compensated to write the post.  While Linda’s opinions in the post are authentic, talking points may have been suggested by the sponsor.*

• A note about paid vs. sponsored posts: a paid post simply means that nycsinglemom.com  was given some kind of compensation in exchange for writing about a product or service.  A sponsored post indicates that the sponsoring company had a much bigger hand in crafting the post, including seeing and approving the finished post before it is published.  In either case, all opinions are NYCSinglemom.com’s  own.

Swag

If Linda is given free products of minimal value at a conference, event or meeting that are being given to all attendees, such as bags, books, water bottles, small product samples, coupons, etc., she does not consider these items as compensation and will not necessarily disclose them when talking about a product.

Content

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely Linda’s own, unless otherwise stated. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question. If Linda quotes from a press release or other source, that content will be clearly marked.

Linda  does not have control of which products, services or locations appear in advertisements hosted by third parties, and is not influenced in any way by these advertisements.

Linda  is not responsible for anything that happens to anyone as a result of following her advice or reviews, or purchasing a product or service as a result of visiting NYCSinglemom.com.

Comments

NYCSinglemom.com reserves the right to remove any comment that she sees fit, for any reason.  Comments are likely to be removed if they are abusive to another commenter, an advertiser, or a sponsor, or if they appear to have been left mostly for the purpose of promoting another website, blog or business, or if they promote a business that competes with an advertiser or sponsor.  All links in the comments section are followed, so if it has even the faintest whiff of spam, it will be removed.

Giveaways

Giveaways are open to US residents only and must 18 or older. Winners will be randomly selected by a rafflecopter.com . Winners will be posted on the site. If winners do not respond within three days of being contacted, another winner will be chosen.
