Disclosure

To be in compliance with the recent FTC ruling that bloggers need to disclose if they are being paid or compensated for their posts, the following is my full disclosure policy and how I do business:


This policy is valid from 09 November 2011, updated 4/12/2015

Training Happy Hearts is a personal blog written and edited by Martianne, the blog owner, with occasional posts written by others, which are clearly labeled as such. This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, or other forms of compensation. If you have any questions about this blog, please contact Martianne in a comment or via a Facebook private message.

Reviews. Training Happy Hearts posts both compensated and non-compensated reviews.

Non-compensated Reviews: At times, I personally review a product that our family has used during our school or personal time.

Compensated Reviews: I have received, at no cost to me, personal use of the product, service, or website being reviewed for the purpose of evaluation or review. I do not receive monetary compensation for such reviews. I always give my honest opinions, finding, beliefs, or experiences on these products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own.

Whether a review is non-compensated or compensated, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on products, services or website. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.  What I offer is simply my thoughts - shared with you - like a friend sharing to another friend.

Advertising and Sponsorship. Training Happy Hearts abides by word of mouth marketing standards. I believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. Currently, there are no paid advertisements, but in the future, there may be.  They will be identified as either "sponsor" or "advertiser". I may, at my discretion, post about a paid advertiser's product or service. Any such content will contain only my honest thoughts and/or opinions.

Affiliate Relationships.  Training Happy Hearts currently has multiple affiliate relationships, including the following:
  • If you click an Amazon link on Training Happy Hearts and purchase any product after doing so, we may receive a small amount as a result.  Training Happy Hearts (via Martianne Stanger) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
  • If you use the code “HAPPY” when purchasing at Future Horizons, you will receive 15% off your purchase and free shipping and we will receive a small amount of compensation.  
  • You can get get free Shipping with any purchase over $100 at Marbles, while helping us earn a small commission on what you purchase.
  • Simply Natural Health offers us a small commission off sales of their e-book Good and Easy Eats. It's a book we love!

We appreciate you using our affiliate links as they cost you nothing to use but may offer us compensation.
