Review Policy

The following policy governs how ToddShrub.com conducts product reviews, whether ToddShrub.com receives compensation for the review or not. My main goal for item reviews is fairness to you, the reader, and then to manufacturers- I want to provide thorough, honest, and fair information about products.

• I conduct fair, equitable, and transparent reviews of products. All relevant information about a review, whether favorable or unfavorable, will be presented as part of the review.
• Manufacturers shall be provided an opportunity to respond to reviews of their products, with the response included in the review clearly identified as the content from the manufacturers. With the exception of changes relating to formatting, manufacturers’ comments that comply with my policies will not be modified or updated by me.
• To the extent possible, I shall obtain review items independently of the manufacturer. This is done to avoid the possibility of sample bias of provided materials (I want to obtain products the same way you would, with some amount of anonymity from the manufacturers). In situations when it is not possible for me to obtain a review item independently, the review shall identify that the item was provided directly by the manufacturer.
• I shall identify the types of compensation provided as part of a review. Types of compensation may include but are not limited to, financial contributions (i.e. general sponsorship of the site), direct payment, material contributions (e.g. giving me items), and expense reimbursement, among others.
• I shall disclose any support from the manufacturer that I receive as part of a review. While I expect and encourage manufacturers to provide consumers with sufficient support to effectively use their products, due to the nature of reviews I feel it is appropriate to enable manufacturers to provide additional support to facilitate a fair review. Reviews shall indicate cases where enhanced support was provided.
• Reviews shall indicate if an item is reviewed with the express intent of making a recommendation.

Policy for Suggestions & Recommendations

I do my best to investigate and present products, services, and other things to you that I believe are worthy of your consideration. To that end, I have established the following policy to govern under what circumstances suggestions and recommendations are made.

• “Recommend” is defined to mean: put forward as being found to be suitable for a particular purpose. I do not provide recommendations for approval of the suitability of any product or service.
• “Suggest” is defined to mean: put forward for your consideration. Basically, I think the product or service is good and warrants your time to consider it as an option for you.
• I will only suggest and recommend products if it is found to be of reasonable quality for it’s intended purpose.
• I reserve the right to change suggestions and recommendations for items at any time without notice for any reason.
• Suggestions and recommendations may, or may not, be provided for items that are reviewed.
