Policies & Disclosure ⋆ Red Hot Suz

For Readers:

Red Hot Suz is a personal blog that features sex toy reviews. All reviews are honest and unbiased, even if I’m being sponsored to review the toy. Any product that is sent to me for review will be noted directly within the post. My reviews reflect my personal opinions on the product, whether negative or positive. I will not allow for any manufacturer or seller to preview posts before they are posted.

I am apart of affiliate programs for certain companies. As an affiliate, at no cost to you, I receive a small commission through any purchases you made by clicking my affiliate links or banners. These affiliates also do not affect my opinions in each review I write.

Blog content & sponsorship policies:

Want me to write about your product/service/business? Contact me to discuss sponsored rates, and other sponsored content I offer!

I do not offer free advertising of any kind.

I will not write anything I believe to be a lie. I only write what is truthful to my experience with your company/product. Sponsored posts & reviews are completely transparent and honest.

I write all sponsored posts; I do not publish “guest posts” or other people’s writing.

As per Federal Trade Commission guidelines, all my sponsored content is labeled as such – I write a note at the bottom of each sponsored post, and tag the post as sponsored in the post tags. No exceptions will be made.

I will not make changes to the post after the fact except (if desired) a one-time-only URL change, if, for example, you move your business to a different domain. If you want me to take down the post, I will do so upon request, though as with all advertising and sponsorship deals I offer, all sales are final and no refunds will be given for any reason.

I do not guarantee click through rates or sales. When you pay for a sponsored post, you are paying for my labour, my expertise, and online real estate in regards to your link/product.

Want me to advertise your business/website/product?

Aside from the sponsored posts I explained above, I also offer banner ads and text links in my sidebar. Email me to discuss rates.

Product Review Policy:

I’m always looking for new products to review! I love to explore new toys, and have some policies regarding product reviews. Please make sure these are read before contacting me. If I receive a request for review, I will assume you have read my policies. I will not pay for any product cost related to the review item (including any shipping costs to Canada). If the product does not arrive to my address, I am not responsible for its costs. All products must be approved by myself, so please contact me to arrange a review. If you ship an item without my acceptance, I will not provide a review. All stipulations for the review must be laid out in advance and none can be added after the fact.

For the toys themselves, I have limitations:

I will only accept body safe, non porous toys in the forms of 100% silicone, glass, stainless steel, aluminum and finished wood.
I do not review products for penises, products that require a partner (although this may change), supplements, erotica books, as well as most fetish products.
I reserve the right to link to another affiliate program if you do not offer one. If you are a brand, I reserve the right to link to one of your distributors who I am an affiliate with. I will not link to a competitor’s site/page in my review, but have the ability to link to another review that may or may not feature another brand/store’s product.

A free or sponsored product is sent to me in exchange for an honest review. If I do not like the product, I reserve the right to publish a negative review. I will not change or remove the review at your request. My reviews are written by me, and I will not take suggestions on content or language. These elements are in my control.

I’m only taking free products from my existing affiliate partners at this time. If you’d like to connect for a sponsored review, please email me.

Affiliate Guidelines:

All of my affiliates are places that I have strong trust in and I have the right to refuse any offers. Main considerations for affiliation include:

Large selection of body safe materials (Non-toxic & non-porous)
At least 10% commissions with a realistic payout ($10-$100)
Sex-positive & women friendly (appearance & marketing)
Adherence to the inclusivity clause

I’m not looking to join any new affiliate programs at this moment. If you’d like to work together, contact me for my sponsorship options.

Inclusivity Clause:

My blog is my brand. Any company that I find to promote sexism, racism, transphobia, non-consent, homophobia, biphobia, fat-shaming, ableism or support other forms of oppression will not be considered. If I later find the company to be supporting oppressive content their affiliate ads will be removed from my site without warning and with no compensation to them. My readers will also be issued an apology.

Content Usage:

I work hard to create my awesome content on my site! If you would like to quote my content you must credit my name and my URL. Please contact me before doing so. You may not use more than 3 sentences. If you do not follow this, I will find out and have it taken down.
This also applies to all photography, videography and graphics.
