Copyright and Terms

Welcome to Yarning4asmile!

This is my personal blog written and edited by me, Kim Dawson, and the opinions expressed are my own.

These terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of Yarning4asmile’s Website, located at yarning4asmile.com.

By accessing this website, we assume you accept these terms and conditions. Do not continue to use this site if you do not agree to take all of the terms and conditions stated on this page.

The following terminology applies to these Terms and Conditions, Privacy Statement, Disclaimer Notice, and all Agreements: “Client”, “You” and “Your” refer to you, the person logging on this website and complying with the Company’s terms and conditions. “The Company”, “Ourselves”, “We”, “Our”, and “Us” refer to our Company. “Party”, “Parties”, or “Us”, refers to both the Client and ourselves. All terms refer to the offer, acceptance and consideration of payment necessary to undertake the process of our assistance to the Client in the most appropriate manner for the express purpose of meeting the Client’s needs in respect of provision of the Company’s stated services, in accordance with and subject to, prevailing law of the USA. Any use of the above terminology or other words in the singular, plural, capitalization, and/or he/she or they are taken as interchangeable and therefore as referring to the same.

Sponsorship/affiliate

There are some incidents where this blog may be used in use of sponsorship. If at any time there is use of sponsored items, it will clearly be stated in the post. Please note that sponsorships do not in any form sway my opinion and honest review. My use and reviews are that of my own, and I try to provide the most accurate information I can when providing it to you. The incidents where sponsorship may occur are the following:

  • Sponsored post regarding a service or product: I will state in the post if so
  • Goods and services: If I have received something for free, I will tell you
  • Adverts for sponsorship: I occasionally do receive discounted products and services for use and promotion of them, but these things will be announced as such.
  • Affiliate links: I am an affiliate of several companies and do use those links often in my posts, YouTube channel, and social media sites. I will say the word “affiliate” somewhere in the post or page when those links are in use. When you use these links, nothing extra is charged to you, but I do make a small amount of income from the items you purchase from the retailer/company I am linking to, and it does not cost you anything extra.

You can see my affiliations here with their home links:

Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. 

All of my Affiliate links can be found here.
