This is the posting policy on Coolvenue Awards – I’m real and I strive to keep it real ?
Disclosure
The products featured are either purchased by me, given by friends or may be Press samples (from media events attended) or sent by PR companies or the Brand companies themselves for consideration and sometimes for review. Since it matters to some people, I will indicate if they are Press samples on a case by case basis. My approach to reviewing the product does not change.
How ever I come by the products, I will promise that the quality of my product review or writing is never compromised. I always highlight pros and cons of products in all my reviews. Sponsored products are never guaranteed of a positive review but I promise to be fair – both to the brands and to the readers hence the pros and cons – so consumers are better informed. My final obligation is always to ensure that the readers are presented with an informed opinion and critique.
I partner with ad networks for image ads. I may, at my discretion, work with sponsors on paid sponsored content which will be clearly indicated. Whatever income earned helps pay for website hosting bills which are hefty. I do not sell text links nor accept guests posts and queries of that nature will never be responded to.
Disclaimer
I am not an expert and my information is sourced from online resources or from my own experiences, or derived from brand sources. Products I review are based on my own personal experience with the products or health supplements that I take.
I have a testing period for all products featured in the reviews on Coolvenue Awards by the time you read the posts I would have used the products for a certain time frame:-
- Makeup reviews are done after testing of between a few days to a minimum of a week’s use.
- Skincare reviews are done after 3-4 weeks use.
Image ads are run by third party networks and I do not have control over what shows nor am I aware of the ad that may be shown to you. I may not have tried the product or service advertised and I will advise you to proceed with caution. Where possible, I filter out ads for products and services I do not personally condone but some may slip through and I disclaim all connection with those companies or product.
Some websites I link to or write about are based on my experience with them or based on my perception of them. Some may be affiliate links – I do need to pay for hosting my website. I will not be held responsible for any orders or problems you might encounter when purchasing from an online retail store. I will not be held responsible for inciting you to place an order even if you may claim I influenced you to. Links to other websites will take you to an external site run by 3rd parties. They are out of my control and I will not be responsible or liable for your dealings with them
