Advertising Disclosure
Our commitment to transparency in advertising and partnerships
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Ashford & Webb, we believe in complete transparency regarding our business relationships and how we may benefit financially from recommendations or partnerships. This disclosure page outlines all relevant information about advertising, affiliate relationships, and sponsored content on our website.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information to help you make informed decisions about AI integration services. When we have financial relationships that might influence our content, we clearly disclose them.
This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and UK advertising standards, ensuring you have all the information needed to understand our business model and any potential conflicts of interest.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Programme Participation
From time to time, we may participate in affiliate programmes for technology platforms, software tools, or services related to AI integration. This means:
- We may earn a commission if you purchase products or services through our affiliate links
- These commissions come at no additional cost to you
- Our recommendations are based on our professional assessment, not commission rates
- We only recommend tools and services we believe provide genuine value
Commission-Based Links
When affiliate links are present on our website, we will:
- Clearly indicate when a link is an affiliate link
- Provide honest assessments regardless of commission potential
- Never recommend products solely for financial gain
- Disclose the general commission structure when relevant
Product and Service Recommendations
Our product and service recommendations are guided by:
- Professional experience and expertise in AI integration
- Actual testing and evaluation of tools and platforms
- Feedback from clients and industry peers
- Alignment with client needs and use cases
- Quality, reliability, and support considerations
While we may benefit financially from some recommendations, we prioritise your success and will never compromise our professional integrity for commission income.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain full transparency about our financial relationships. If we have an affiliate relationship with a company we mention, discuss, or recommend, we will disclose this relationship clearly in the relevant content.
Sponsored Content
Paid Promotions
Occasionally, we may feature sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. When this occurs:
- All sponsored content will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," or similar terminology
- Sponsored content will be visually distinguished from regular content
- We maintain editorial control over how sponsored content is presented
- Sponsored content must align with our quality standards and professional values
Sponsored Post Policies
For any sponsored posts or articles:
- We reserve the right to decline sponsorships that don't align with our values
- Sponsored content must be relevant and valuable to our audience
- We will not publish sponsored content that misleads or provides false information
- All claims in sponsored content must be substantiated
- Disclosure of sponsorship will appear prominently at the beginning of the content
Brand Partnerships
We may enter into partnerships with technology companies, AI platform providers, or related businesses. These partnerships may involve financial compensation, free access to tools, or other benefits. We will disclose these relationships when relevant to our content or recommendations.
Content Authenticity
Whether content is sponsored or not, we are committed to authenticity. Our professional opinions and recommendations are based on genuine assessment and experience, not payment or compensation. We will always provide honest perspectives, even in sponsored content.
