I’m not a fan of legalese, but let’s go over a few things first.
If you have any further questions about the blog, please contact me directly.
This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me, Becky Smiedendorf. The blog is available to view for free, but in order to keep it running this blog occasionally accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.
I partner with advertisers, affiliate networks and offer occasional links to products I recommend or feel readers will benefit from. Partnerships are never taken on that don’t fit with the blog, my personal values, or that I don’t feel will benefit readers. Readers are not under any obligation to use or click on advertisers links, but when you do, you support the blog at no additional cost to the reader.
The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. All advertising is in the form of advertisements generated by a third party ad network. Those advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.
The owner of this blog is compensated to provide opinion on products, services, and various other topics. Even though the owner of this blog receives compensation for my posts or advertisements, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
I am not a professional contractor – just a girl with power tools and a passion for DIY and home design. The various home improvement & decorating tutorials and advice on Smiedendipity are not error proof, they’re merely what work for us. Extra safety precautions and additional research are always advised and Smiedendipity cannot be held responsible for your personal safety or the outcome of your home improvement undertakings.
