To tie in with the 'Blog With Integrity' pledge that I've signed, here is the disclosure of my policies regarding the intent of Consuming The Harvest (CTH).  The pledge, in it's entirety can be viewed on their website along with a listing of those who have (digitally) signed it, including myself.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I do not accept payment for any post I publish.  

Any product reviews published on CTH are done solely by me, with the published review being my own personal opinion based on my own personal experience with the product.    I will NOT express others' opinions or suppress my own for any type of barter.

Any photographs or videos used on CTH, or any of it's sub pages, are privately owned by myself unless otherwise stated.  If photographs or videos by others have reference, directly on them, to where they were acquired, this will suffice so long as ownership is mentioned on the site from which they were acquired.  If they do not, a link will be provided.  All photographs or videos are used with permission, either expressed or direct.

Any other form of artwork or text including (but not limited to) gifs, animations, drawings, recipes and blocks of text, if not owned by myself are used only with permission either in the form of expressed permission (ie; a website stating that it's content may be used freely by non commercial sites), or if from a personal site, via contact with and consent from the owner of the artwork.  If requested or necessary, a link will be provided directing readers to the site of origin.  

Any work that is used on CTH, whether it be audio, visual or written that is not owned by myself and has no known owner (anonymous) or origination will be treated as such.  If anything should appear on CTH which I wrongly assumed was public domain, once notified, it will be removed until and if the owners permission can be obtained.  If you see any work, in any form on CTH that you believe to be owned by yourself, please contact me via the Contact page.

I (as CTH) keep any and all private correspondence (not from organisations or companies), in any form, including but not limited to - contact form submission and email, confidential.  If for any reason I feel such private correspondence might be best handled in a public post, I will ask the permission of the concerned.  Only if permission is granted will the subject be addressed in a post.

In keeping with the 'Blog With Integrity' Pledge, I aim to keep a listing of places from which I source media (graphics/audio/video/text) which is not my own, and does come come with any sort of 'attached' link to where it was sourced.

The following links list (at the time of posting) is entirely made up of freely offered media.  Some just state 'free', others ask that you provide a link to their website in return for use.  Some sites have both free and paid content, so look carefully prior to using anything you find.
