Hello…
Hello to the most (hopefully) boring page on Chur New Zealand.
The following are disclaimers, privacy policies, and disclosures related to this website, ChurNewZealand.com.
Why does the page exist? The Federal Trade Commission requires a disclosure page for ChurNewZealand.com.
Who is behind the site? Me, Jub, you can find out more about me on the about page.
Disclaimer
In order to run this site, I do need some coin to come in (not a lot, but enough to keep things ticking over). Therefore, you’ll see affiliate links, advertisers and/or sponsors on ChurNewZealand.com.
Whenever you’re on the internet a good assumption is that EVERY LINK is an affiliate link. When you buy something through an affiliate link, the website you clicked through from likely earns a commission (the percentage varies) for anything you buy for X period of time. X refers to how long the cookie lasts on the referring site. This could be anything from a couple of hours through to 60 days, or even lifetime. But, it’s important to note, you won’t be charged anything extra by using an affiliate link…the fee comes out of the seller’s profit margin.
Affiliate marketing is a popular form of income for those creating content on the internet.
