DISCLAIMER POLICY
Monolisticle curates the very best of arts, culture, travel, and entertainment. Specifically, music, art, food, travel, TV + Film, books, culture, social media, and an ongoing best charitable cause category.
Integrity and high standards are very important to us, and the foundation and driving principles of our site. We have a long-term view of the work we do. Gaining and keeping the trust of you, our readers, is our number one goal and we will go out of our way to earn and maintain that trust.
As stated on our “About Page,” the things we write about on Monolisticle are things we have personally vetted, and can vouch for. These are things that we personally believe are the best in their respective categories. That is the very purpose of our platform: to choose things that—in our opinion—are the very best. We hope—but cannot guarantee—that these vetted recommendations will benefit our readers by saving them time, money, and the frustration of making choices that end up to be underwhelming. However, this does not guarantee that you will enjoy the things as much as we enjoyed them. It is no guarantee of satisfaction.
The recommendations provided in Monolisticle represent many, many hours of time and research. In order to support the work we do—and at the same time maintain an optimal user experience—it is our intention to minimize advertising on this platform. When we do partner with vetted advertisers, we will do so via brand sponsorships, minimal ads, and affiliate marketing, so as not to detract from the design experience of the site or slow down load times.
PLEASE HELP SUPPORT OUR WORK BY SUBSCRIBING FOR FREE. (We respect your privacy and will not sell your information).
It is a philosophical foundation of our site that the things we recommend are the result of our sincere and genuine preferences, and not influenced by advertising. In order to maintain the high integrity of this site and align with our platform values, if and when we do accept brand sponsorships or participate in affiliate brand marketing programs, we will adhere to the following principles:
-
We will only accept sponsorship and advertising by brands that, like the subjects on our blog, we believe to be the very best in their categories.
-
We will only promote products that we believe to be the very best in their categories. And we will always clearly disclose it when we are doing so.
-
If and when we do decide to use affiliate marketing, we will disclose at the beginning of the post that contains affiliate links that “this article includes affiliate links.”
Again, these recommendations of brands and products are our subjective opinions. It is no guarantee of satisfaction. We will always try to give good reasons why we advocate for our recommendations. However, as with anything that is subjective in nature, these are our opinions and our personal preferences, based solely on our personal experience and knowledge in the areas we cover.
What is an affiliate link/referral link?
If and when we in fact decide to do affiliate marketing, you will see references to our use of affiliate links or referral links. These references are called disclosures and are a requirement as put forth by the FTC here in the U.S. They are there to inform you that we have a relationship with a particular product or service and if you choose to purchase that product or service via our affiliate link, we will get a commission. Of course, this is at no extra cost to you, but it does help support the work we do and make it possible for us to continue to keep bringing you the very best and vetted recommendations. Again, thank you, and we appreciate your support.
