Reviews
SkeeterTalksTech’s approach is to provide an overview of the product and test the product’s claims, most often with a Video Demonstration. SkeetersTalksTech presents personal opinions. Opinions of value and feature related credibility are often subjective. One of our goals is to envision how a product may be used. We urge the consumer to use our review to gain their own independent knowledge to apply to their own needs and not necessarily rely entirely on our opinions. Any purchase decision is solely the responsibility of the purchaser.
It is inherent to the nature of Technology that most products are often revised, many times significantly and often, over the course of the product’s shelf life. Reviews are only relevant to the product specifications at the time of publication. Occasionally follow-up reviews will be posted, but may or may not be directly linked from older reviews. Reviews of products are archived for the consumer to compare.
Compensation
Our policies strive to ensure the integrity of the editorial process. We do not accept payment for reviews. . If SkeeterTalksTech publishes a paid endorsement of a product; the arrangement will be clearly disclosed in the video or article. SkeeterTalksTech publishes these reviews because of fascination with technology. Product endorsements are often included in my review based on my own non-compensated conclusions.
Advertising revenue is accepted; and I will accept products for review for “free” from vendors. Advertising will have an obvious separation from the editorial content. Advertising may include banners or sponsorship announcements. If a product is a paid placement or sponsor; it will be clearly disclaimed as such. SkeeterTalksTech will indicate whether a reviewed item was provided for review, and by whom, or whether the product was purchased at retail
If you are interested in advertising, please contact Skeeter at SkeeterTalksTech.com.
Products
SkeeterTalksTech will sometimes provide links to reviewed products for purchase. If we receive a product for free from the vendor; reviewed products will be stored for future comparisons and either donated to charity or given away either immediately or at a later date. We accept Giveaways as part of a random drawing promotions.
Unless prior arrangements have been made; we ask vendors to not require a return. A great review requires many resources on our part and we hope that our review justifies the marketing expense. If the return of the product is necessary, please provide us sufficient time to review the product. We also require paid return shipping. All return requests must be made prior to shipping.
Product Privacy
