I take great pride in my work and the quality of this blog. In accordance with my promise to my readers to bring them quality, honest content I have to ensure that I make things clear to all brands and give them value for their money.
Therefore, so that all parties may have a clear understanding, I present the following terms and conditions on how I handle product gifting.
Terms & Conditions of offers of gifted items
If you would like to offer me a free product or service (“Product Gifting”), whether for review or to style and post on my blog, my Product Gifting Policy is as follows:
- I reserve the right to decide if and when to feature a gifted product/service in a blog post or on my social media platforms. By sending the items to me you agree that I am under no obligation.
- I may or may not post about the item in whatever context (blog or social media platform) I deem appropriate, and within my own time frame.
- A collaboration that requires guaranteed blog/social media exposure (or any other requests like specific keywords or links) is considered sponsored content and therefore chargeable – see paragraph below.
- If/when a gifted product appears in a blog post it will be marked c/o at the end of the post, if it appears in a social media post I will similarly disclose that the item was gifted to me.
- Any links included in a blog post will be “no follow” in accordance with Google’s guidelines about paid links, whether “payment” was via a gifted item/service or monetary compensation. Please click here to read about Google’s Link Schemes.
- By sending the items to me you agree that any returns or collections of unsuitable items will be at your own expense.
- If gifted product(s) are sent to me without warning or my prior consent, all the terms above still apply.
Fees for a guaranteed blog post feature, social media exposure or similar
The fee quoted will reflect what level of exposure is required and will be quoted based on those requirements. Please request a quote by emailing yourtrueselfblog[at]gmail.com with full details of what you require and I will get back to you with my fees.
By monetizing the blog I can continue to publish great content to interest and inspire my readers and earn their trust and loyalty, as well as putting food on the table and paying the bills (a girl’s gotta eat)!
Last updated: May 2018. I reserve the right to change these terms at any time without prior notice.
