COMPENSATION & AFFILIATION AFFIDAVIT
As per mandates from the Federal Trade Commission, 16 CFR Part 255 — Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, the purpose of this paragraph is to establish the possible compensatory affiliation with Spinzign and any testimonialists or endorsers found on various website pages. Any or all endorsements from testimonialists used in our promotional materials may be affiliated with Spinzign as marketing affiliates and therefore might have an established connection with Spinzign in the form of commissions paid on sales resulting from referrals from those testimonialists that might lead some readers to believe that the testimonial reviews on the pages of Spinzign products might be biased. However, the reviews and comments on the pages of this Site are to the best of our knowledge the true statements and beliefs of the endorsement givers and any claims made on the pages of this Site can be substantiated upon request. Some of the testimonialists whose endorsements were used in promotion of Spinzign products have received complimentary promotional copies of Spinzign products for the purposes of reviewing products to help generate endorsement-type testimonials.
EARNINGS DISCLAIMER & FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made absolutely every effort to accurately represent our products and services and their potential. Despite this, there is no guarantee that you will earn any money using the techniques and ideas in these materials. Examples in these materials are not to be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of earnings. Earning potential is entirely dependent on the person using our products, ideas and techniques. We do not purport any of our products and services as get rich quick schemes – the techniques are proven but their capacity to generate wealth is based purely on the determination, commitment and willingness of the individual concerned.
As with any business, your results may vary, and will be based on your individual capacity, business experience, expertise, and level of desire. There are no guarantees concerning the level of success you may experience. The testimonials, if any, and examples used are exceptional results, which do not apply to the average purchaser, and are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. Each individual's success depends on his or her background, dedication, desire and motivation.
There is no assurance that examples of past earnings can be duplicated in the future. We cannot guarantee your future results and/or success. There are some unknown risks in business and on the Internet that we cannot foresee which can reduce results. We are not responsible for your actions.
Materials in our products and our websites may contain information that includes or is based upon forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project", "intend", "plan", "believe" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a description of potential earnings or financial performance.
