2. Nature of Service and Affiliate Disclosure

Velvet Bloom Co operates as an informational and curated content platform within the beauty industry. We do not manufacture, sell, distribute, ship, or directly transact in any of the products featured on our website. Instead, our role is to provide reviews, comparisons, recommendations, and editorial content related to beauty products, skincare, cosmetics, fragrance, and related goods.

Our website participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that:

We may earn a commission when you click on certain links and subsequently make a purchase from a third-party seller or merchant.
All purchase transactions occur entirely on the third-party seller's website and are subject to that seller's own terms, policies, and procedures.
We do not control, operate, or have any ownership interest in the third-party websites linked from our content.
The inclusion of any affiliate link does not constitute a guarantee, endorsement, or warranty regarding the quality, safety, or legality of the linked product or merchant.

You acknowledge that any commission earned by Velvet Bloom Co does not increase the price you pay as a consumer.
