Legal

As we all know, the legal stuff has to be on every website – so here’s mine:

FTC

FTC requires that certain policies are spelled out clearly on websites that may create revenue from the site.  In compliance, this notice states that Shifter Haven (SH) does have advertisements on its pages that will direct you to another site to purchase items.   Should you purchase anything using a link from here SH will receive a commission on that sale.  (believe me it ain’t much)

Disclosure

This policy is valid from 05 December 2015

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. For questions about this blog, please contact  marshaspohn@gmail.com

This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.

The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. All advertising is in the form of advertisements generated by a third party ad network. Those advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.

The owner(s) of this blog is not compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owners. If we claim or appear to be experts on a certain topic or product or service area, we will only endorse products or services that we believe, based on our expertise, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

This blog does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

Or Let’s Make This Really, Really Simple

Basically what this Disclosure is telling you is that there are links on my blog that will take you to another site where you may be able to purchase items – on this blog it would be books, hardback or paperback, downloadable eBooks or eReader like Kindle from Amazon – or other stores.

Should you decide to click on a link to another site (store) and make a purchase there right after using the link from this blog — I may make a commission on the sale.

I review books – I love books – and I direct you (my readers) to places where you could buy the books if you want to.

The rules are that I must let you know that.  Which I just did – in legal terms, and in normal person conversation.

Also – Amazon.com requires the following be posted:

ShifterHaven.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com
