1. FTC Disclosure Policy - Material Connections with Endorsers. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that we disclose any material connection we may have with anyone who provides testimonials or comments (endorser) regarding our website, its products or services (16 CFR, Part 255 - Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising). Material connections involve the payment of compensation to endorsers or providing free promotional materials or benefits to endorsers.

1.1 No Commissions or Fees. None of the endorsers who provide testimonials or comments on this site regarding this site, its products or services receive payment in the form of affiliate commissions, referral fees, or other fees from us. To the best of our knowledge we believe these endorsements represent the honest opinions of the endorsers.

1.2 No Free Promotional Materials or Benefits. None of the endorsers who provide testimonials or comments on this site regarding this site, its products or services have received free promotional materials or benefits from us, with the exception of some clients who beta-tested the software and received free services to assist the company in preparing a market-ready product. Some of them have provided Story Feedback in writing and in video. To the best of our knowledge we believe these endorsements represent the honest opinions of the endorsers.

1.3 Testimonials We Post. We do NOT post testimonials as blog posts on our site. We are in the business of helping clients collect Story Feedback from their customers. The prompt is, WHAT'S YOUR STORY TODAY? Our process includes asking whether a customer recommends. We do not ask for testimonials, nor do we counsel our clients to ask for testimonials; rather to ask for Story Feedback. Stories may be published for public view for our own benefit, or for the benefit of our clients. Because of the nature of these stories, some might construe them to be a testimonial or endorsement. All such should be viewed as "success stories" or "best-case" scenario testimonials (as distinguished from subjective opinions). We provide statements of expected typical results we believe consumers will generally achieve with our product or service, and we will provide this information upon request (email compliance.officer@rippleeffect.net). For Testimonials we post elsewhere on our site that are in the nature of subjective opinions, we do not independently verify, nor do we seek independent verification; however, to the best of our knowledge we believe the testimonialists are giving their honest opinions. If you're not sure regarding whether a particular testimonial is a "success story"/"best-case" scenario testimonial or a subjective opinion testimonial, email our compliance officer at the email address provided above and request clarification.

1.4 Testimonials Posted By Others to our Onsite Blog(s). We do not independently verify, nor do we seek independent verification of comments and statements that may be posted by others in blog posts on this site regarding our website, its products or services. For this reason, if others post "success story" or "best-case" scenario testimonials (as distinguished from subjective opinions), you should assume that their results are NOT typical.
