THE LAW OF RAD
Until we have an army of lawyers to draft intimidating statements for our website, these simple rules will have to suffice:
- Don’t steal our stuff.
- If it breaks, or you get hurt, don’t sue us.
- This website is copyright 2011 Totally Rad! Inc.
If you do decide to sue us, then this section will become several thousand words long, and it will all be your fault. So please play by the rules. Thx! -The Management.
FULL DISCLOSURE
The FTC wants you to know a thing or two about the content on our site, and it’s probably a good idea to tell you anyway. We sometimes receive products for review on the Totally Rad site, and usually these are provided to us by the manufacturer, free of charge. We usually get to keep them, too. Yes, that’s nifty for us. It also means that there’s a “material connection” between us and the manufacturer in those circumstances. However, we are committed to writing and publishing only things that we believe to be true. We won’t BS you just because we got something for free.
We also will occasionally promote or mention services such as workshops, seminars, websites, etc that we think are worthy of your attention. As you might have guessed from the previous paragraph, there are sometimes material relationships in play there as well. While we don’t accept payment directly for promoting things, many of the seminars and workshops we promote are taught by members of our affiliate program, who make extra money by referring customers to us (and this is just one possible example).
As in just about every business, there’s a lot of back-scratching that goes on, and a lot of favors and tokens traded back and forth. It’s a complex cycle, and if were to graph it out it would take up an entire wall. Despite that, we will only mention or promote things we believe in, and we only seek to be promoted by people we respect and trust. We’re constantly seeking a win-win-win for everyone involved – us, our customers, and the people sending customers and fans our way.
So, long story short, we sometimes have material relationships with the people and companies we mention on our site, but we’re not whores.
Any questions? Shoot us a message – we’re an open book!
