By visiting and using the Dalmatian DIY blog or its resources, you agree to be bound by our Terms of Use, including our Privacy, Disclosure, and Copyright Policies. Dalmatian DIY participates in a number of different advertising and affiliate programs, designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by advertising and linking to associated sites. You can read about the different programs and how they work below. Note that this Disclosure should be reviewed in conjunction with our Privacy Policy on cookies and data.
Supporting and Sharing
Dalmatian DIY uses the proceeds from our third-party advertising placements, affiliate programs, and a variety of other sources to help offset the costs of running this site and providing our readers with completely free access to all of our articles and materials. Thanks for understanding our choice to use these programs and for continuing to support our blog. Woofs of gratitude, furfriends!
Advertising and Affiliate Programs
Third-Party Advertising
Advertisements and affiliate links that appear on this blog are third-party (Google AdSense, Amazon, The Book Depository, AliExpress, and/or other as detailed below). We do not personally vet or endorse any of the content shown in these advertisements, nor the products and services that may be advertised or linked from any of these formats. Please refer to our Term of Use for a detailed Disclaimer.
How They Work
When a reader clicks on an affiliate link (whether in the text of a post or as a linked affiliate advertisement or banner) and then makes a purchase, Dalmatian DIY may receive a small commission for promoting the website or its products. Prices are the same as they would be if you accessed the website directly. Typically, there is no material benefit from click-throughs, only from referred purchases. Non-affiliate advertisements (space allocated to third-party advertising programs, like Google ads) may operate on views, click-throughs, and/or referrals, depending on the nature of the advertising agreement.
Data and Privacy
As detailed in our Privacy Policy, third-party sites/services may use cookies and/or other identifiers to manage their advertisement programs, as well as to serve personalised content. Opt-outs and third-party ad-blockers are available should you wish to screen advertisements from this and/or other websites. Advertising is, however, what helps to offset the cost of running a free site. It takes a lot of time, energy, and resources to run a blog and to create and share content for Dalmatian DIY. Thanks for understanding.
Clarity and Transparency
To make sure we catch your attention with clear and complaint disclosure statements, there is a linked disclosure statement bar automatically embedded at the start of our posts. A linked disclosure message also appears in the sidebar for pages that include a sidebar format. The header and footer menus also include links to this Disclosure page for easy access.
Advertising blocks and similar are readily visible and identifiable as such. Where text links are used within posts and pages, we endeavour to ensure those are clearly identifiable as well. For example, a product link from a program site may appear as linked text followed by an annotation “(affiliate link)” or “(referral link)” to be absolutely transparent.
Per the Disclaimers in our Terms of Use, Dalmatian DIY shall not be liable for any third-party content, services, products, or claims. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. Any warranty claims, defects, issues, or disputes must be raised and dealt with directly with the manufacturer and/or provider.

Other Compensation Disclosures
Dalmatian DIY may earn a small commission for the endorsement, recommendation, testimonial, and/or link to any products or services from this website. Although we often share links without having any relationship, material or otherwise, with the linked source, readers should presume that any links may have an affiliate connection or other type of relationship attached. Ad blocks and similar are visually obvious. Where text links are used we endeavour to be clear about any referral, affiliate, or other relationship connection.
Compensated (sponsored) posts will only be accepted if they suit the niche, audience, style, and intent of the blog. Compensated or sponsored posts will always be clearly identified, as will any other form of material benefit such as products for review and/or giveaway. Disclosure of any material relationships or compensation is not only a legal requirement, but a matter of personal ethics.
Unpaid and uncompensated posts make up the vast majority of content here on the blog. Posts may include unpaid links to provide supplemental information on a post or topic. We are not compensated for writing these posts or sharing the links, and we do not insert additional links links by paid/exchange request. These uncompensated posts may still include affiliate links or display advertisements, as noted above, where the linked products or services may be of interest to the reader based upon post content.
