> Referrals and Affiliate Links

Just to be completely up front, I get small payments when you click certain links on my site.

Google Ads. My site has Google Ads on the sides and within mosts posts. If you click on one of those links, I get a small (very, very small) payment from Google.

Amazon Affiliate Links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. I have links to my books on my website and occasionally recommend (and link to) items I found at Amazon. If you use the links on my site to go to Amazon and then buy something, I get a small commission.

Legal Disclaimer

I am not an attorney, and so can’t offer “legal advice”. In this day and age, only an attorney can tell you whether or not you are following the law/regulations - and even then sometimes it has to be decided by a court or government official. What I have tried to do is provide detailed information concerning existing regulations which you can use to decide what you want to do with your labels or good manufacturing practices.

Besides labeling and GMP information, I also post information about my life and travels, which is provided for general interest and amusement. Nothing on this site should be construed as advice- legal or otherwise - for your particular situation (which I know nothing about).

Amazon Affiliate Links. Within the text of my pages, sometimes I will recommend an item I found at Amazon. If you click that link and go to Amazon and buy something, I get a small percentage as the affiliate referred. My books are sold on Amazon, so if you click a link to buy my one of my books on Amazon, I will get a small referral fee.
