Disclosure

Why?

      While it is good practice for the visitor of any review or article site to treat every product or service recommendation with a healthy degree of skepticism, it would be a mistake to assume that every review or article is invalid just because there may be a commission paid to the writer. A good marker for the honesty, reliability and professionalism of a web site is the inclusion of a clearly stated disclosure about the monetization of the site and a clearly defined disclosure policy like the one featured below.

Here are some of the readers protections we attempt to build into our reviews and articles:

1. Reviews and articles will contain factual information that is easily verifiable. Harbinger451 will always endeavour to provide an honest and accurate assessment.

2. Reviews and articles include a section that is a subjective summary based on the personal views and experience of the writer.

3. Attempts are also made to establish the general consensus in relation to specific products by reading reviews of those products on other sites, along with user testimonials and we attempt to portray this overall perception in our reviews and articles.

4. Harbinger451 provides links to the manufacturers' website, where applicable and available, to provide additional information that is not given in the reviews. Some of this information can include customer testimonials, more specific product details, sales information, free newsletters and even samples.

      These are good rules of practice. It is important for you as a consumer to understand the relationship between a person reviewing the product and the manufacturer.

      If you do not see a disclosure policy similar to this one on a review site, that reviewer may be committing an offence.

      The views and opinions expressed in this site are entirely that of the authors and those authors retain the right to edit or delete any comments or messages that are posted within the content of this site.

      The authors of this site are not responsible for any transactions undertaken between the reader and an advertiser on this site. Any transaction, or agreement, is entirely the responsibility of the reader and the advertiser they choose to do business with.

      The content of all the rss/twitter feeds displayed in this site are the responsibility of the originator - any views and opinions stated within them are not necessarily the views and opinions of Harbinger451.

      We hope that you have a useful and meaningful experience as a direct result of Harbinger451's detailed reviews and articles. We welcome any feedback that may help us to improve your experience when visiting this website.
