This Promotional Policy explains how Shelter Set handles promotional content, affiliate links, product recommendations, self-promotion, sponsored claims, and user-submitted promotional material on shelterset.com.
Shelter Set is an informational website focused on outdoor living, pergolas, gazebos, tents, canopies, patio covers, and related shade products. We want our content and comment areas to remain useful, honest, and easy for readers to trust.
Our Promotional Standard
Promotional content should be clear, relevant, honest, and not misleading. We may remove, edit, refuse, or ignore promotional material that appears spammy, deceptive, unsafe, irrelevant, or low quality.
This policy applies to comments, contact form submissions, guest post pitches, product pitches, collaboration requests, affiliate offers, sponsored content requests, link requests, and other promotional messages sent to or posted on Shelter Set.
Affiliate Links
Shelter Set may use affiliate links in our own content. This means we may earn a commission when readers click certain links and make a purchase from a third-party merchant, at no extra cost to the reader.
Visitors may not use our comment sections or contact channels mainly to post their own affiliate links, referral links, coupon links, lead capture links, or promotional offers. If a comment appears to be posted mainly to generate clicks, sales, leads, or commissions, it may be removed.
Product Promotion and Brand Pitches
Brands, retailers, manufacturers, agencies, and product owners may contact Shelter Set with relevant product information, but sending a pitch does not guarantee coverage, a review, a link, a recommendation, or a positive mention.
We may decline or ignore promotional requests at our discretion. We may also remove or reject claims that appear exaggerated, unsupported, unsafe, irrelevant, misleading, or inconsistent with the needs of our readers.
Fake Reviews and Misleading Claims
Do not submit fake reviews, fake customer experiences, undisclosed paid endorsements, misleading product claims, false availability claims, copied testimonials, competitor attacks, or promotional comments pretending to be neutral advice.
If you have a connection to a product, brand, merchant, agency, or affiliate program you mention, you should clearly disclose that connection.
Self-Promotion in Comments
Helpful discussion is welcome. Self-promotion is not welcome when it distracts from the topic, adds little value, or turns the comment section into advertising.
We may remove comments that are mainly designed to promote a website, service, product, social account, YouTube channel, email list, coupon, affiliate offer, private group, or lead capture page.
Guest Posts and Link Requests
Shelter Set may receive guest post pitches, link insertion requests, collaboration proposals, or content partnership offers. We are not obligated to accept or respond to these requests.
We may reject requests that appear low quality, mass-produced, irrelevant, manipulative, misleading, or intended mainly to influence search rankings rather than help readers.
Use of Shelter Set Name and Content
You may not use the Shelter Set name, logo, brand identity, website content, screenshots, product rankings, or recommendations in a way that falsely suggests endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, approval, or affiliation.
You may not copy, republish, package, sell, or redistribute Shelter Set content without permission, except where allowed by law.
Sponsored Content
If Shelter Set publishes sponsored content in the future, we aim to identify it clearly where required or appropriate. Sponsored opportunities, product samples, affiliate relationships, or compensation do not guarantee positive coverage.
We may still choose whether and how to cover a product based on relevance, usefulness, reader interest, and editorial judgment.
Enforcement
If promotional content violates this policy, we may take action, including:
- Deleting comments or submissions
- Removing promotional links
- Marking submissions as spam
- Blocking repeat spam or abusive activity
- Declining collaboration, guest post, or link requests
- Taking other action we consider appropriate
Moderation and enforcement decisions are made at our discretion. We are not required to publish, restore, reconsider, or explain any promotional submission.
