Vendors who respect what we do may contribute funds to help cover operating costs, but all reviews are on merit and never “cash for comment.”
Vendors may request either the return or retention of review products, which has no influence on the review outcome. Retained products are often used for ongoing benchmarking or review updates. Review products are never sold and are donated to local charities or community groups.
