Viruses Commodity.com does not guarantee that files available for downloading through its Site will be free of infection or viruses or other code that may have contaminating or destructive properties. You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for integrity, security and accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to the Site for the reconstruction of any lost data. Advertisers Commodity.com accepts advertising. Special attention is paid to featuring advertising in a way that will not interfere with your reading experience. This relates to both page design and to the number of ads we choose to feature on a page. In some cases, editorial content may include links to partners for which Commodity.com receives an affiliate commission (more details below). How We Make Money The way that we’re able to offer numerous articles of content on our website for free is by partnering with advertisers and affiliate partners who are looking to reach consumers. This can take a number of different forms, and we’ll walk through those below. It’s important to note that we maintain strict editorial independence for all of our content, particularly on reviews and recommendations. If a product is great, we’ll tell you even if we don’t have an advertising relationship. If we think a product is bad, we’ll tell you that, even if we DO have an advertising relationship with them. Affiliate Links to Advertisers In some cases we may have an affiliate relationship with a product or service that we review, and so when you visit a “partner” or click on a hyperlink on the product’s or “partner’s”, name in those cases we may receive compensation either when you click on it or if you decide to sign up for the product or service. Display Ads Some review/recommendations may include display advertising on them, which are easily recognized. Advertisers Are Not Endorsed Please note: Although we permit advertising on the Site and we seek to partner with quality companies, we are not responsible for the claims or representations made by advertisers and sponsors. Commodity.com does not review, endorse or recommend the products or services of any company mentioned on our Site. We will not be liable in any way for damages of any kind resulting out of the misuse of any personal information or data submitted by you to an advertiser or sponsor. Links As a convenience to Users, the Site and Services may provide links to other sites or resources. Because we do not review and have no control over such sites and resources, Commodity.com shall not be responsible or liable for use of or reliance on any content, products, services or information at such sites or resources. Inclusion of any links does not imply any endorsement, affiliation, approval, association or sponsorship by Commodity.com of the linked websites, resources, their operators or owners. When you select a link, you may be leaving our Site. The information available on third parties websites may have certain restrictions on its use or distribution which differ from this TOU.
