Advertising Disclosure Statement This disclosure statement explains my relationship to my advertisers and how I receive compensation. Homeschool-Activities.com is a personal site written and edited by me. This site accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. I do not write reviews for the purpose of receiving payment. Occasionally, I may receive free products to test. If I like the product, I may choose to write a review for the benefit of my readers. If this is the case, I disclose that I received the product for free. I may also join the manufacturer's affiliate program and offer the product for sale along with the review, in which case the affiliate links are marked as advertising. I only advertise merchants, products, or services that I use, have used in the past, or are recommended to me by other homeschoolers whose opinion I trust. The views and opinions expressed on this site are those of the author and other contributors only. Any claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the seller, manufacturer or provider. I currently participate in the following affiliate or pay-per-click programs (live links are my affiliate links):
Google Adsense I use Google AdSense to show you advertisements for goods and services that may be of interest to you. These advertisements are clearly identified. I do not have complete control over what products and services are advertised, and the fact that a particular product or service is advertised in this way is not an indication that I recommend or endorse that product or service. Any claim, statistic, quote or other representation should be verified with the seller, manufacturer or provider. I may receive a payment if you respond to any of these advertisements. SBI! I am happy to recommend SBI! (previously known as Site Build It!) from SiteSell to any of my visitors who would like to have their own website. I use SBI! myself, and I could never have understood the process of how to build a successful website without it. SBI! is almost an online business degree in itself and, although there are many other hosts available, I am convinced SBI! is unique in the quality of service it provides. It will take time, but if you follow the SBI! process I am sure you will be able to set up a successful website yourself rather than one which slowly fades into cosmic dust. I receive no payment for recommending SBI!, but should you decide to purchase this product for yourself I may receive a commission. You are free to order from a number of sources, including SiteSell, but I would appreciate it if you would consider doing so through me. Let me know if you are interested in knowing more about SBI! through my Contact page. Submission of Contributions, Photographs and Other Original Material By submitting your contributions, photographs and other original material to me for display on my website, you agree that I have the (non-exclusive) right, but not the obligation, to display the material in whole or in part, as I consider appropriate, together with your name, without further recompense to you.
