Timothy P. Livingston believes readers should understand when a financial, ownership, or business relationship may influence or benefit from content published on timothyplivingston.co.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains how Timothy P. Livingston and affiliated businesses may earn money through affiliate links, product recommendations, sponsorships, advertisements, brand relationships, and the promotion of affiliated products and services.
In this disclosure, “the Site,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to timothyplivingston.co, Timothy P. Livingston, and applicable affiliated businesses.
1. Affiliate Links
Some articles and pages on the Site contain affiliate links.
An affiliate link is a specially tracked link provided by a retailer, brand, affiliate network, or service provider. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, we may receive a commission, referral fee, credit, or other form of compensation.
In most cases, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. However, prices, discounts, availability, shipping costs, taxes, and purchase terms are controlled by the applicable retailer and may change at any time.
You are never required to use an affiliate link. You may visit a retailer directly or purchase from another source.
2. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Operating a website involves costs related to content creation, photography, video production, travel, website hosting, editing, software, research, and other business expenses.
Affiliate commissions help support the continued operation of the Site and allow us to publish home tours, design inspiration, building information, product recommendations, and other content for readers.
The possibility of earning a commission does not guarantee that a product or service will receive a favorable review or recommendation.
3. Our Recommendations
The Site may recommend or discuss products and services related to:
- Home design
- Furniture
- Home décor
- Appliances
- Lighting
- Building materials
- Flooring
- Cabinetry
- Plumbing fixtures
- Tools
- Home technology
- Home security
- Organization
- Bedding
- Kitchen products
- Home fragrance
- Candles
- Books
- Digital products
- Builders and designers
- Real estate and home-related services
Recommendations may be based on personal experience, professional observations, research, available product information, reader interest, or a commercial relationship.
We aim to share honest opinions and useful information. However, our preferences may not match yours, and a product or service that works well for one person may not be suitable for another.
You should independently review product details, specifications, ingredients, warranties, instructions, safety information, pricing, return policies, and customer reviews before making a purchase.
4. Disclosure Near Affiliate Content
When an article, page, email, video, or social media post contains affiliate links or another material financial relationship, we may place a disclosure near the applicable content.
Examples may include:
“This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a commission if you make a purchase through one of these links.”
“Some links in this article are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.”
“This content includes paid or affiliate links.”
A disclosure may also appear near an individual link, recommendation, product, video description, or social media post.
This page provides additional details about those relationships but does not replace disclosures placed within or near applicable content.
5. Sponsored Content and Paid Partnerships
The Site may occasionally publish sponsored articles, videos, social media posts, product features, or other content created in cooperation with a brand or business.
We may receive money, products, services, travel, access, accommodations, or another benefit in exchange for creating or publishing sponsored content.
Sponsored content may be identified with language such as:
- Sponsored
- Paid partnership
- In partnership with
- Presented by
- Advertisement
- Thanks to our sponsor
Compensation does not guarantee a positive opinion. We aim to retain editorial control and share observations that reflect our genuine experience or assessment.
However, you should understand that a financial or business relationship exists when content is sponsored.
6. Complimentary and Gifted Products
Brands, builders, designers, manufacturers, and other businesses may provide products or services at no charge or at a discounted price.
Receiving a complimentary product does not guarantee that it will be featured or recommended. When a gifted product is discussed, the relationship may be disclosed using language such as:
- Gifted
- Product provided by the brand
- Complimentary product
- Product provided for review
A product received at no cost may still create a material relationship that readers should understand.
7. Home Tours, Builder Features, and Property Access
Some homes, builders, designers, real estate professionals, developments, or products may be featured as part of a paid or compensated business arrangement.
Compensation may include:
- A feature fee
- Sponsorship payment
- Travel reimbursement
- Complimentary accommodations
- Property access
- Products or services
- Advertising
- Referral compensation
- Another business benefit
Other homes may be featured without payment because they are interesting, inspiring, or relevant to the audience.
The appearance of a home, builder, designer, architect, real estate professional, community, or product on the Site does not necessarily mean compensation was provided. When a material financial relationship exists, we will make reasonable efforts to disclose it clearly.
A paid feature does not constitute a guarantee regarding a builder’s workmanship, business practices, licensing, pricing, availability, warranties, or suitability for a particular project.
Readers should independently research and evaluate any builder, designer, contractor, agent, product, or service before entering into an agreement or making a purchase.
8. Flannel & Wick Ownership Disclosure
Timothy P. Livingston has a direct ownership and financial interest in Flannel & Wick.
The Site may feature, recommend, advertise, or link to Flannel & Wick candles, home fragrances, and related products. Purchases from Flannel & Wick may directly benefit Timothy P. Livingston and affiliated businesses.
Content discussing Flannel & Wick is promotional content for an affiliated business and should not be considered an independent third-party review.
References to individual fragrances, including Always Flannel Season, or to the broader Flannel & Wick home-fragrance collection may be intended to encourage readers to visit the Flannel & Wick website or make a purchase.
Product pricing, availability, shipping, returns, refunds, and other purchase terms are governed by the policies displayed on the applicable Flannel & Wick website or checkout platform.
9. Other Affiliated Businesses and Products
The Site may promote products, websites, memberships, digital resources, services, or businesses that are owned by, operated by, or financially connected to Timothy P. Livingston.
When we promote an affiliated product or business, purchases or other qualifying actions may directly benefit Timothy P. Livingston or an affiliated company.
Where the relationship may not be obvious to the average reader, we will make reasonable efforts to disclose the ownership or financial connection near the applicable content.
10. Advertising
The Site may display advertisements through Google AdSense or other advertising providers.
We may earn revenue when advertisements are displayed, viewed, clicked, or otherwise interacted with, depending on the advertising arrangement.
Display advertisements are different from editorial recommendations and affiliate links. Third-party advertising providers may choose which advertisements appear based on page content, visitor information, advertising settings, or other factors.
The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean that Timothy P. Livingston personally uses, recommends, verifies, or endorses the advertiser or its products.
11. Prices and Product Availability
Prices, discounts, promotions, inventory, shipping charges, and product information can change after an article is published.
We do not guarantee that:
- A displayed price is still current
- A product remains available
- A discount remains active
- A product will match its description
- A retailer will honor outdated information
- A product or service will meet your expectations
Always verify current information directly with the retailer before completing a purchase.
We are not responsible for errors, changes, discontinued products, unavailable inventory, altered promotions, or inaccurate information supplied by a third party.
12. Retailers and Third-Party Transactions
Purchases made through an affiliate link or other third-party website are transactions between you and the applicable retailer or service provider.
We do not control the third party’s:
- Products
- Pricing
- Inventory
- Shipping
- Billing
- Warranties
- Returns
- Refunds
- Customer service
- Security
- Privacy practices
- Terms and conditions
Questions or disputes concerning a third-party transaction should be directed to the company that processed the purchase.
We are not responsible for losses, damages, delays, defective products, incorrect orders, or other problems arising from a transaction with a third party.
13. No Guarantee of Results
Product recommendations, testimonials, reviews, examples, and personal experiences do not guarantee that you will receive the same results.
Individual experiences may vary based on factors such as:
- Personal preferences
- Product use
- Home conditions
- Climate
- Installation
- Maintenance
- Budget
- Location
- Retailer performance
- Builder or contractor performance
You are responsible for deciding whether a product, service, builder, design idea, or recommendation is appropriate for your needs.
14. Editorial Independence
We aim to maintain editorial independence when creating articles, videos, home tours, reviews, and recommendations.
Compensation may influence whether a product, business, or topic is included in our content. It does not guarantee a particular statement, rating, opinion, or result.
We reserve the right to:
- Decline a sponsorship
- Decline to recommend a product
- Remove an affiliate link
- Update an opinion
- Correct inaccurate information
- Stop working with a brand
- Remove or revise older content
Opinions expressed on the Site are those of Timothy P. Livingston or the identified contributor at the time the content was published.
15. Your Responsibility as a Reader
You should use your own judgment before purchasing a product, hiring a professional, visiting a property, beginning a construction project, or relying on a recommendation.
For significant home-building, renovation, financial, legal, safety, or real estate decisions, consult appropriately qualified professionals who are familiar with your specific situation.
An affiliate relationship does not replace the need for your own research and due diligence.
16. Changes to This Disclosure
Affiliate programs, sponsorships, advertising relationships, ownership interests, and business practices may change over time.
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure when those relationships or applicable requirements change.
The revised disclosure will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after an update means the revised disclosure applies to your subsequent use of the Site, to the extent permitted by law.
