Disclosure of Material Connections
Transparency is important to us at Sherringford. We believe in being open about how our website operates and maintains its resources. The purpose of this page is to disclose any potential "material connections" we may have with third-party brands, products, or services mentioned or recommended on this site, in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines.
A "material connection" could be monetary compensation, free products or services, affiliate commissions, or other incentives received in exchange for mentioning, reviewing, or linking to a third party.
Please assume that any or all of the links or mentions of third-party products or services on Sherringford.org may potentially be part of a material connection. Here are the primary ways this might occur:
1. Affiliate Links:
-
Some links on this website (in blog posts, library resources, course materials, product recommendations, etc.) may be affiliate links.
-
This means if you click on the link and make a purchase from that third-party site, Sherringford may receive a small commission or other compensation.
-
This comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website.
-
We participate in affiliate programs because they offer products or services we believe may be relevant and valuable to our audience in the healthcare and academic fields. Any revenue earned helps support the maintenance and development of Sherringford.org.
2. Sponsored Content:
-
Occasionally, we may publish content (such as a blog post, video, or section within a course) that is sponsored by a third party.
-
This means we received compensation (monetary or otherwise) to create or feature that content.
-
All sponsored content will be clearly identified as such at the beginning or within the context of the content itself (e.g., "Sponsored Post," "Paid Partnership," "Presented by [Brand]").
3. Product Reviews:
-
If we review specific products or services (e.g., software, books, equipment), we may sometimes receive the product for free or receive other compensation from the provider.
-
If such a connection exists, it will be clearly disclosed within the review itself.
-
Regardless of any compensation, we strive to provide honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences based on our assessment of those products or services.
4. Advertisements:
We may display third-party advertisements on the site. These will generally be distinguishable as ads. Clicking on these ads may generate revenue for Sherringford.
Our Commitment to You:
Maintaining the trust of our visitors, users, and community members is paramount. While we may receive compensation through the methods described above, we are committed to providing valuable, accurate, and relevant information within the healthcare and academic scope of our site.
Any compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics, or posts made on this site only in the sense that sponsored content is identified as such. It will not influence our editorial integrity regarding non-sponsored content or our core mission. We strive to only endorse or link to products or services that we genuinely believe will be of value to our audience.
The views and opinions expressed on this website are purely those of the authors and contributors at Sherringford. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question.
We designed Sherringford.org to be more than just an educational resource; it's a platform intended to bring a refreshing twist to your daily professional life.
