Full Disclosure | Maverick Life

By reading this website, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own life decisions. All information and resources found on mavericklife.net are based on the opinions of the authors. All information is intended to motivate and encourage readers. We are not, nor do we claim to be family, financial, or fitness advisors/experts.

Mavericklife.net reserves the right to remove, edit, move or close any content item for any reason.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Disclosure

The FTC requires bloggers to disclose whenever there is a financial interest or bias related to a recommendation or whenever a blogger’s opinion may be financially motivated in any way. More importantly, we have a desire to always be transparent and honest with readers and to disclose how we make money from this website.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about all links, posts, photos and other material on this website:

Any/all of the links on this website are affiliate links of which mavericklife.net receives a small commission from sales of certain items, but the price is the same for you.

What is an Affiliate Link?

Many (but not all) of the links on mavericklife.net are affiliate links. This means that a special tracking code is used and that we may make a small commission on the sale of an item if you purchase through one of these links. The price of the item is the same for you whether it is an affiliate link or not, and using affiliate links helps us to maintain this website and support our family.

In some cases, we may also use a link and provide a discount code for an item. In these cases, we may still earn an affiliate commission and the price may actually be LESS for you by using this link or tracking code.

Again, for simplicity, assume that any link on mavericklife.net is an affiliate link and that we may/will make a commission if you purchase through these links (though the price remains the same for you).

When Do We Use Affiliate Links?

If we post an affiliate link to a product, it is something that we personally use, support and would recommend without an affiliate link. Unless noted otherwise, any product we link to is one we have purchased and use for ourselves or our family. Our first priority is always providing resources to that we truly believe in and would help you create positive changes in your life. We will only ever link to products or resources (affiliate or otherwise) that fit within this purpose.

Nature of Affiliate Relationships

Please note that while we personally purchase, review and use every product we link to, these products are purchased from third party companies and we do not control these companies or have a financial interest other than an affiliate relationship unless otherwise disclosed.

For this reason, we cannot ensure that any item purchased through a link on mavericklife.net is shipped on time, packaged properly, or that you will like it. Any problems or concerns with a specific product purchased through a link on this website should be directed to the company the item was purchased from.

Comment Policy

We make a sincere effort to be respectful, kind and transparent on mavericklife.net and ask the same respect from you. For this reason, rude, offensive, or harmful comments will not be tolerated. You are welcome to disagree, just do it nicely.

Comments Guidelines

Comments that don’t contribute to the conversation, are obviously spam, promotional in nature, or intended for back-link purposes will be deleted and the author banned from future commenting ability.

Please use your REAL first name and email address. Failure to do so may cause your comment to be marked as spam and deleted.

Please do not put your personal blog or business website URL in the comment text unless it directly contributes to the comment and/or the conversation taking place, as it will cause your comment to be marked as spam and most likely deleted, or edited to conform to these guidelines. Do not add a website name or URL as your signature, as it will be deleted. If you’ve never left a comment before and your first one includes a link, it will most likely be deleted automatically by the spam filter.

Please use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and letter casing when commenting. Occasional unintentional mistakes happen (We’re guilty of it too!), but for the sake of comprehension, readability and clear dialog, please make a sincere effort to follow basic English writing decorum. Comments which are unintelligible and/or don’t follow this policy will be edited or deleted to meet these guidelines.
