DISCLOSURE ABOUT CONTENT

MilanoStyle.com is a personal, lifestyle and travel website with blog entries edited and managed by Celia Abernethy. I and any contributing, guest contributors adhere to this disclosure policy.

Real reviews

I want to give true, honest reviews and only the things I think will enhance my readers’ experience on the site. The majority of my posts are independent reviews and comments.  Occasionally, I am asked to attend events or to review products, restaurants, hotels or other, but this does not guarantee coverage on the website. If I do review a venue in exchange of payment or gifts I will make it clear that I was invited.

The views and opinions expressed on this blog are personal opinions and experiences of my own (or of contributing authors).   Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

If you have doubts about content on milanostyle.com, you may contact me at any time.

As owner of MilanoStyle.com I sometimes accept forms of monetized advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation or commissions from affiliate programs. I abide by word of mouth marketing standards. I believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. Such content is presented as banners, advertising space, external links, guest posts, or content, which will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content with the tag #ad (advertisement), #adv, #advertorial (advertorial).

If I personally endorse a product or service, it’s because I believe it will be of use to my readership.

Why disclose?

I believe the reader should get real, honest information. As a user myself, I don’t like wasting time and I don’t think my readers do either. If I promote a product or service, it’s because I believe it will be of use.

I appreciate you taking time to read MilanoStyle.com disclosure agreement.
