Affiliate Disclosure
FTC Disclosure Compliance Rules
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance.
These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media are aware if the blogger or publisher is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. The readers need to know if the content publisher is making money by sharing a link or product. This is what we call affiliate disclosure.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site:
Any/all/some of the links on Easter Mazes for Kids are affiliate links for which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items. Easter Mazes are fun for your to download and play, but you are not required to purchase anything. However, if you do decide to actually look at an affiliate link, there are a few things you should know.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: when a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on Easter Mazes to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from Easter Mazes).
Amazon and/or other companies pay Easter Mazes a small commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to their website.
Prices are exactly the same for readers whether they purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. Clicking an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.
Easter Mazes uses two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
Easter Mazes is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, as well as to other websites that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.
2. Product affiliate links.
If you click a product affiliate link and buy the product, then I will get a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation.
Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per click.” This is why knowing our affiliate disclosure is important. We offer up full disclosure as we want to you be informed and understand how our site works. We love Easter, but we have no reason to hide our intentions.
What about sponsored content?
I do write sponsored posts. I want to provide authentic, un-biased information. However, if a company would like to publish sponsored content on Easter Mazes, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post. So our affiliate disclosure is seen by everyone using the page. Of course, if you don’t feel the sponsor is right for you, keep in mind you are under no obligation to click, look or even consider the item, service or situation. The Easter mazes are still available for you to enjoy and download, no matter your choice.
The bottom line is that I only recommend products I use myself or that I would recommend to family and friends. I believe that we all could use valuable recommendations so I share what, in my opinion, seems to be things that are good. It could be different in your situation and I encourage you to use your personal preferences for your decisions.
Your purchase helps support my research efforts. Thank you very, very much for reading my affiliate disclosures! I appreciate you! And Happy Easter! May we all have a blessed holiday! Let’s go have some fun playing Easter mazes!
