Introduction

At ChooseYourPath.online transparency and trust are fundamental to our business. To provide you with a clear understanding of our relationships with advertisers and third-party service providers, we have prepared this Advertising Disclosures page. This page explains how advertising works on our Site and in communications with you, ensuring full compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines.

1. Sponsored Content and Advertisements

ChooseYourPath.online may feature sponsored content, advertisements, and links on our website, in emails, and through other communication methods. Sponsored content or advertisements may be in the form of text, images, banners, or hyperlinks that promote third-party services or products. In some cases, we may be compensated by third parties in exchange for placing their ads or sponsored content on our Site.

When applicable, we will clearly label or disclose sponsored content or paid advertisements using terms such as "Sponsored," "Ad," or "Advertisement" to differentiate it from our editorial content.

2. Affiliate Links

Some links on our Site may be affiliate links. This means that if you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or take certain actions, we may earn a commission or referral fee. The price you pay will not change because of the affiliate relationship.

Affiliate links are used to support the operation of our business and are disclosed in accordance with FTC guidelines. We strive to provide you with valuable content while being transparent about our partnerships with affiliate programs.

3. Lead Sales and Third-Party Advertisers

ChooseYourPath.online sells the information you provide through forms on our Site as leads to third-party service providers ("Marketing Partners"). These Marketing Partners may contact you to offer services related to your inquiry or other related services.

In some cases, we are compensated when a third-party advertiser purchases your information as a lead or when you engage with their services. While we aim to connect you with reputable providers, ChooseYourPath.online does not endorse any specific third-party provider and is not responsible for the quality, reliability, or accuracy of the services provided by those Marketing Partners.

4. No Endorsement

The inclusion of third-party advertisements, affiliate links, or sponsored content on our Site does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by ChooseYourPath.online. We do not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of the information provided by advertisers or affiliate partners. It is your responsibility to evaluate the services and offers before making a purchase or engaging with third-party service providers.

5. Native Advertising

In some cases, advertisements on our Site may be integrated into our content in a manner that resembles editorial content. This type of advertising is known as native advertising. When native advertising is used, we will clearly label the content as sponsored to comply with FTC guidelines and to ensure transparency for our users.

6. Compensation Disclosure

As required by law, we disclose that we may receive monetary compensation or other benefits from advertisers, affiliates, or third-party service providers in connection with sponsored content, affiliate links, or lead generation activities. The compensation received may influence the placement or prominence of the content on our Site, but it does not influence our commitment to providing valuable, relevant content for our users.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Advertising Disclosures page from time to time to reflect changes in our advertising practices or legal requirements. When we do, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the "Effective Date" at the top of the page.
