Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Veritas Shine, we believe in maintaining complete transparency about our business relationships and how we may generate revenue through our website. This Advertising Disclosure explains our affiliate partnerships, sponsored content policies, and advertising practices.

We are committed to honest and ethical marketing practices. This disclosure is provided in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws and advertising standards, including guidelines that require clear disclosure of material connections between us and the products or services we may recommend.

By being upfront about our advertising relationships, we aim to help you make informed decisions and maintain your trust in our recommendations and content.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

Important Disclosure

Our website may contain affiliate links to products, services, or equipment that we believe may be beneficial to our clients or relevant to professional cleaning operations. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

  • Commission-Based Compensation: When you purchase through our affiliate links, the merchant pays us a small commission. This does not increase the price you pay.
  • No Impact on Your Cost: Affiliate commissions are paid by the merchant from their marketing budget. You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website.
  • Tracking Technology: Affiliate links use cookies and tracking codes to attribute sales to our website. This tracking is limited to purchase attribution and does not compromise your privacy beyond standard e-commerce practices.

Our Product Recommendation Policy

We maintain high standards for any products or services we recommend:

  • We only recommend products and services we have personally used, researched, or believe would be valuable to our clients
  • Our recommendations are based on quality, relevance, and value, not solely on commission potential
  • We disclose affiliate relationships clearly whenever we include affiliate links
  • We provide honest assessments, including potential drawbacks or limitations of products
  • We do not allow affiliate relationships to compromise our editorial integrity

Financial Relationships

We participate in affiliate programs with companies that provide cleaning equipment, supplies, facility management software, and related professional services. While we may receive compensation for referrals, this does not influence our core cleaning service offerings or the independent quality of work we provide to our clients.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Identification of Sponsored Content

We may occasionally publish sponsored content or paid promotions. When we do:

  • All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Paid Partnership"
  • Sponsored posts will include a disclosure statement at the beginning or end of the content
  • We will distinguish sponsored content from our regular editorial content
  • Visual cues (such as different backgrounds or borders) may be used to highlight sponsored content

Brand Partnerships

We may enter into partnerships with brands in the commercial cleaning, facility management, or related industries. These partnerships may include:

  • Featured content or case studies highlighting specific products or services
  • Co-created educational content about industry best practices
  • Product reviews or demonstrations in exchange for compensation
  • Event sponsorships or participation in industry programs

All such partnerships will be disclosed according to applicable advertising standards.

Content Authenticity

Even when content is sponsored or part of a paid partnership, we maintain editorial control and ensure that all information provided is accurate, useful, and aligned with our professional standards. Sponsors do not have final approval over editorial content, and we reserve the right to decline partnerships that don't align with our values or serve our audience.
