FTC Disclosure Compliance Rules
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission introduced a set of rules known as Disclosure Compliance to promote transparency in web media. These rules are designed to inform readers or viewers if a blogger or publisher has any sponsorship, endorsement, or partnership with another company. This way, readers can be aware of any potential financial incentives the content publisher may have in sharing links or promoting products.
Adhering to the FTC guidelines, it is important to acknowledge that some of the links on Bluesoftcenter.com are affiliate links. This means that I may receive a small compensation from sales of certain items if you make a purchase through those links. The purpose of using affiliate links is to support the maintenance and operation of this site while providing valuable content to our readers.
Rest assured that even though compensation may be received, the integrity and honesty of the information presented remain a top priority. Any products or services recommended on this site are based on genuine opinions and experiences, and the compensation received does not influence the content’s objectivity. The ultimate aim is to provide readers with helpful and relevant information.
If you have any questions or concerns about the affiliate links or disclosure, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Transparency and trustworthiness are essential values for Bluesoftcenter.com, and we are committed to upholding these principles throughout our content and partnerships.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Bluesoftcenter.com facilitates purchases through external affiliate company websites. When a reader clicks on an affiliate link on Bluesoftcenter.com to buy a product, the reader completes the purchase directly with the seller, not through Salt Money.
In return for directing customers to their websites, Amazon and/or other companies provide Bluesoftcenter with a small commission or compensation.
Regardless of whether readers use an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link, the prices remain the same. Clicking on an affiliate link does not affect the price or any other aspect of the purchase for the visitor.
Bluesoftcenter employs two primary types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links
Bluesoftcenter.com is part of the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising initiative designed to enable website owners to earn fees through linking to Amazon.com and its affiliated sites, along with other websites that may be associated with the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
2. Product affiliate links
If a reader clicks on a product affiliate link and makes a purchase, I will receive a percentage of the sale or some other form of compensation.
It’s important to note that the prices for the products remain unchanged, regardless of whether readers use these affiliate links. Clicking through the links does not result in higher costs for the buyer, and the links are not of a “pay-per-click” nature.
Bluesoftcenter has chosen various affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates, ShareaSale, Web Hosting, and certain private networks, to facilitate these partnerships and offer a diverse range of products to its audience.
What about sponsored content?
I do not create sponsored posts as my aim is to deliver genuine and impartial information. However, if a company desires to publish sponsored content on Bluesoftcenter, I will make it explicit by providing a clear disclosure at the beginning of the post.
I am committed to recommending only products that I personally use or would confidently recommend to my own family and friends.
Please know that your purchases play a significant role in supporting my research efforts, and I am deeply grateful for your support. Thank you very much for your generosity, and I genuinely appreciate you!
