General Disclosure and Limitation of Liability

Shunning Asphalt is owned and operated by the author and may contain advertisements, affiliate links or other forms of monetization.

Shunning Asphalt is never directly compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this website are purely those of the author. If the author claims or appears to be an expert on a certain topic or product or service area, she will only endorse products or services that she believes, based on her 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.

Shunning Asphalt does not contain any content which might present a conflict of interest.

Shunning Asphalt makes no representations, warranties, or assurances as to the accuracy, currency or completeness of the content contained on this website or any sites linked to or from this site. All the materials on this site are provided ‘as is’ without any express or implied warranty of any kind, including warranties of merchantability, noninfringement of intellectual property or fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall or its agents or associates be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of information, injury or death) arising out of the use of or inability to use the materials, even if has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

Affiliate Disclosure
 

Shunning Asphalt is partially funded by advertisements and affiliate relationships. However, recommendations and endorsements are only made for the value they might provide to site visitors. If a product or service is found to be beneficial, it will be shared with readers. Likewise, if a product or service is deemed unhelpful, this will also be shared. Whether or not compensation will be received from a recommendation, endorsement, or opinion, the ultimate goal of commentary is to benefit readers.

That said, should a recommended product or service offer a referral program, Shunning Asphalt creates an affiliate relationship with that company and receives compensation for referrals. Referrals are initiated when visitors click on links to learn more about a recommendation. Should a purchase be made, a small commission is earned by this website at no cost to the individual making the purchase. But, to reiterate, a product or service will never be endorsed that is not thought to be helpful to readers regardless of compensation.

Current affiliate relationships that help fund this site are:

  • Amazon
  • eBay.

Each, due to their size, name recognition, and outreach, is a logical choice for helping connect readers with recommended products or services. A win-win in helping readers meet needs and, additionally, help this website “keep its lights on.” 🙂

In the event opinions change, these will be shared knowing full well how such disclosures affect compensation. When all’s said and done, gaining and maintaining visitor trust is far more valuable than any affiliate sale commission.
