Our Commitment to Transparency
At Oxalis, we believe in being transparent about our business relationships and how we may earn revenue through our website at oxalis.world. This Advertising Disclosure explains the various ways we may receive compensation and how this might influence the content and recommendations we provide.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information about commercial cleaning services while complying with advertising disclosure requirements. This page outlines our relationships with third parties and how they may affect the content you see on our website.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose any material connections between our website and products or services we may reference or recommend. This disclosure applies to all content on our website, including articles, reviews, recommendations, and social media posts.
We strive to provide authentic content that serves the best interests of our audience while maintaining transparency about any financial relationships that may exist.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
What Are Affiliate Relationships?
An affiliate relationship exists when we receive a commission or compensation for referring customers to products, services, or companies. This means that if you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a financial benefit.
Affiliate links help support the operation and maintenance of our website, allowing us to continue providing valuable information and services to our audience.
Types of Affiliate Programs
We may participate in various affiliate programs, including:
- Product affiliates: We may receive commissions when you purchase cleaning supplies, equipment, or related products through our referral links
- Service affiliates: We may earn referral fees when you engage services from partner companies we recommend
- Technology affiliates: We may receive compensation for referring customers to software, tools, or platforms relevant to facility management
Our Recommendation Policy
While we may receive compensation through affiliate relationships, we only recommend products or services that we believe offer genuine value to our audience. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our assessment of quality or suitability.
We evaluate products and services based on their merits, and our recommendations reflect our honest opinions. Your trust is important to us, and we work to maintain it through transparent and authentic content.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identifying Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may publish content that is sponsored by or created in partnership with third-party companies. All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or with similar clear disclosure language at the beginning of the content.
Sponsored Content Guidelines
When we publish sponsored content, we maintain the following standards:
- Clear disclosure at the beginning of sponsored articles or posts
- Maintenance of editorial standards and authenticity
- Honest representation of products or services
- Right to decline sponsorships that don't align with our values or audience interests
Brand Partnerships
We may enter into partnerships with brands, manufacturers, or service providers in the commercial cleaning industry. These partnerships may involve financial compensation, product samples, or other forms of consideration. Any content influenced by these partnerships will be appropriately disclosed.
Editorial Independence
Despite financial relationships with sponsors or partners, we maintain editorial independence in our content creation. Sponsors do not dictate our editorial positions, and we reserve the right to express honest opinions about products and services, even those we have financial relationships with.
