DISCLAIMER:

This policy is valid from 16 December 2009

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me and 1 other author. This blog may or may not accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.
The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. Some sponsorship is shown without having paid for advertising but rather through free product or sponsoring a giveaway of higher value.

Trendy Treehouse is not compensated to provide opinion on products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owners. Our familes personally use and test each review product. Trendy Treehouse is not a professional in any field, and you should never substitute information from this blog for information obtained from a licensed professional as appropriate. If we find something wrong with the product then we will contact you before posting to see if you still want me to post the review to our blog. You will have the option to either not have us post my review, or allow us to post all aspects of my review, including any negative remarks. As stated above, readers of this blog come here to get a real Mom's perspective on products and services out there. Trendy Treehouse is not responsible for any damage, injury, or unhappiness received by products in our giveaways. If a item is not sent by the company when they guaranteed a giveaway, Trendy Treehouse is not responsible. The purpose of this blog is to be a beneficial resource.
