Public Relations
While many of the items reviewed on LA-Story.com are purchased, this site accepts products for review from brands and public relations representatives. Receipt of a product does not constitute a contract for a published review of the product. While this site attempts to accept products that will generate positive reviews, LA-Story.com does not guarantee such.
What we do offer you is an honest review of the products tested—whether they be fashion, beauty, food, beverages, music, DVDs, movies and other topics of interest. Reviews are done based on comprehensive testing of the product and content is not pre-approved by PR or brands unless noted as being more advertorial in nature. Editorial time line is currently 4-6 weeks from receipt of a product and only if the product delivers what we consider to be up to our standard. Items received that are broken or damaged, are not reviewed.
Please note that LA-Story.com makes use of contributors and they are clearly named in the context of the post and thanked for their efforts. They might have obtained free products or entrance to an event on which they are reporting.
Advertorial Posts
LA-Story.com participates occasionally in advertorial or sponsored posts. All advertorial posts clearly state that the product was provided by a PR firm or brand and still held to stringent standards. These sponsored posts may include an advertisement, but have no affect on the content. What that means is that there is no review of the product if we haven’t gotten product to test — whether purchased or provided by the company. For those posts where product is provided, they are labeled as having obtained free product. Other posts may not be labeled as sponsored if there is no compensation of any type.
Affiliate Links and Advertising
LA-Story.com uses affiliate links. A commission is earned when a product is purchased using such a link. This site is also supported by paid advertisements and is a member of Glam Media Blogger Network, Clever Girl Collective, and Google Ad-sense. LA-Story.com also features some small ads that are paid that typically have very little relationship to the content of the blog. (grocery coupons or similar such items).
No Warranty of Products
LA-Story.com makes no guarantees or warranty as to the effectiveness or quality of any product. Reviews are based on personal experience and personal opinion. “Your mileage may vary” is a common term within the blog and what works for me might not work for you and vice versa. Comments from readers regarding products they have used are welcome and encouraged. Please interact with us! Please do not spam us!
