Terms of Service
Effective as of June 22, 2020 — Revised December 27, 2020
By visiting this blog, Olive Sunshine, you are agreeing to the terms of service. The terms are offered as written. The most recent version of the Terms of Service will always be posted on the website with the “Effective Date” posted at the top of the policy. Olive Sunshine may revise and update these terms as the need arises, or new services are available.
Affiliate Disclosure
Today I realized that I have earned my first $1.08! Wow! In six short months! I guess that means I need to add an affiliate disclosure since there is an income.
Olive Sunshine is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate program designed to provide a means for sites to earn compensation to support the blog. When I link to products and services, those links may be affiliate links. Many times, they are not affiliate links, especially if they are small, local businesses that I support.
If you do click on an affiliate link and make a purchase within a certain time frame, Olive Sunshine will earn a small commission. The commission is paid by the retailers, at no cost to you. The payment comes from the retailer, not from you. In fact, I do not know who clicked or purchased the product.
As I promised in my blog post, “Why am I Blogging About the Mediterranean Diet”, Olive Sunshine will focus on menu preparation tips, fresh food shopping ideas, recipes, and Mediterranean Diet Resources. You will only find links to products and retailers that I stand behind and support my passion for healthy living on the Mediterranean Diet. Money earned will (hopefully) keep Olive Sunshine sharing these resources with you. Thank you for your support.
