11. Use of Testimonials
In accordance with the FTC guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, please be aware of the following:
- Testimonials that appear on the Website are individual experiences, reflecting real life experiences of those who have used our products and/or services in some way. Therefore, we do not claim that these individual results are typical results. You specifically recognise and agree that the testimonials are not a guarantee of results that you or anyone else will obtain by using any products or services offered on this Website or by the Entity.
- The testimonials displayed in any form on this site (text, audio, video or other) are actual statements made by customers and reproduced verbatim, except for correction of grammatical or typing errors. Some may have been shortened. In other words, not the whole message received by the testimonial writer is displayed when it seems too lengthy or not the whole statement seems relevant for the general public.
- The Entity is not responsible for any of the opinions or comments posted on the Website. The Website is not a forum for testimonials. However, the Entity allows customers to provide testimonials as a means of sharing their experiences with one another. To protect against abuse, all testimonials will only appear after they have been reviewed by management of the Website. The Entity does not share the opinions, views or commentary of any testimonials on the Website – the opinions are strictly the views of the testimonial source.
12. Earnings Disclaimer
Sometimes the Entity may report on the success of one of its existing or prior customers. The information about this success is accurately portrayed by the Customer. You acknowledge that the prior success of others does not guarantee your success because each individual’s success depends on their background, dedication, desire and motivation.
Also, there is no guarantee that you will make any income from your use of this Website and resources download from, or reviewed on, this Website. Furthermore, you accept the risk that the earnings and income statements differ by individual.
You agree that the Entity is not liable for any success or failure of your business that is directly or indirectly related to the purchase and use of our information, products and services, and products and services reviewed or advertised on this Website.
13. Reviews of Products, Services and Other Resources
At various times, we may provide reviews of products, services, or other resources, such as books and/or software applications. Any such reviews will represent the good-faith opinions of the review author.
Sometimes, products and services may be provided to the Entity for free or at a reduced price as an incentive to provide a review. But regardless of any such discounts, we will provide honest reviews of these products and/or services. And as a policy, the Entity will only review products and services that we believe will provide value to our customers and followers.
You recognise that you should conduct your own due diligence on the accuracy of the review and you will not rely solely upon any reviews provided on this Website. You will also conduct your own due diligence as to whether the reviewed item is right for your specific circumstances and will benefit you.
We will disclose the existence of any discounts or incentives received in exchange for providing a review of a product. If you would like more information about any such discounts and incentives, send an email to support@goodlisteningskills.org that includes the title of the reviewed product as the subject line. We will respond via email and disclose any incentives or discounts we received in association with any such review.
14. Affiliate Links
At times, the Entity participates in affiliate marketing and may allow affiliate links to be included on some of our pages. This means that we may earn a commission when you click on or make purchases via affiliate links.
As a policy, the Entity will only affiliate with products, services, and experts that/whom we believe will provide value to our customers and followers.
We will inform you when one of our links is an affiliate link.
You recognise that it remains your personal responsibility to investigate whether any affiliate offers are right for your specific situation and will benefit you.
You will not rely on any recommendation or information provided by us, but will instead conduct, and rely upon, your own investigation to decide whether to purchase the affiliate product or service.
15. Links to Third Parties and Their Actions
From our Website, you can visit third parties by following hyperlinks to their external websites. Most often, these links appear in the Reference section of our blog articles – some are affiliate links, many are not.
We pride ourselves in referencing and recommending useful and ethical companies. But we have no control over, and are not liable for, the actions of those third parties, the content they provide, or their privacy practices. Furthermore, these hyperlinks to third parties do not imply a recommendation for all the content found on their sites.
Please be also aware that when you leave our website, other sites may have different Privacy Policies and Terms of Service, which are beyond our control. Please be sure to check the Privacy Policies of these sites as well as their Terms of Service before engaging in any business or uploading any information.
Sometimes site owners and content change without notice and may occur before we have the opportunity to remove any link that has gone ‘bad’.
