Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

Content that may present a conflict of interest (i.e. if we write about a company with whom we conduct professional business, or a relative’s service or product) we’ll clearly identify our relationship to the content. We may make use of affiliate links and other sponsored links to promote our advertisers and our affiliate partners throughout the site.
