🧭 Product Review Policy

To keep my reviews fair, honest, and genuinely helpful for viewers, I follow a strict review policy for all long-form YouTube videos.

1. No Paid Reviews

I never accept payment for full-length review videos. This ensures my opinions and conclusions remain 100% my own, based solely on real-world testing and experience.

(Note: I do offer paid brand integrations within relevant videos, but these are separate from dedicated reviews.)

2. Product Samples

I’m happy to receive products for review consideration. All review units are kept by me unless otherwise agreed in writing, as returning tested products is typically impractical. Sending a product does not guarantee a review or any specific coverage.

3. Creative Control

While I welcome background briefs or key product details from brands, I retain complete creative control over every aspect of the content — including scripting, filming, editing, title, thumbnail, and final opinions. I do not follow predetermined talking points or review guidelines from brands.

4. Integrations

Sponsored integrations are occasionally included within relevant videos, always disclosed, and are completely separate from my independent reviews.

5. Timing

I can’t commit to an exact posting date. Review timelines vary depending on how long the product needs to be properly tested. In general, reviews are posted within 2–6 weeks of receiving the item.

6. Embargoes

I’m always happy to respect product embargoes for pre-release items and coordinate timing where needed.

7. Editorial Independence

I reserve the right not to publish a review if I believe the product isn’t a good fit, doesn’t meet quality expectations, or simply doesn’t align with my audience.

8. Content Rights

Brands may not reuse, repost, or repurpose my content without prior written approval. Licensing requests are always welcome.

9. Transparency

All videos that include gifted or sponsored products are clearly disclosed in accordance with FTC and ASA guidelines.

In short:

If you send a product, you’re inviting an honest, independent review.
