Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, licensees and commercial partners. Advertising, sponsorship or licensing relationships do not guarantee editorial coverage, specific positioning, product inclusion or favourable commentary.

Editorial Integrity & Accountability

Fact-Checking: Something About Rocks is committed to accuracy. Our editorial team verifies all technical specifications and market data with primary sources, brand archives, or independent experts.

Corrections Policy: Accuracy is our priority. If we publish a factual error, we will amend the article promptly and include a transparent note of the correction. Readers can report errors at the Contact Us Page or email us directly to contact@somethingaboutrocks.com

Authorship: All articles are written by industry experts and journalists. We do not publish anonymous content or content generated entirely by AI without human editorial oversight and verification.

Sponsored & Branded Content

We may publish sponsored content, paid partnerships, affiliate-linked content, or other forms of commercial collaboration. Sponsored or paid content will be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines. Advertising content will be distinguished from independent editorial content. Advertising or sponsored placement does not constitute endorsement by Something About Rocks.

Product Features & Reviews

Products featured in editorial content are selected at the discretion of our editorial team. Inclusion is not contingent upon advertising spend or commercial relationship. Where products are provided for editorial consideration, loan, or review, this does not guarantee coverage. We do not publish undisclosed paid reviews.

Accuracy & Limitation of Liability

We aim to ensure that all information is accurate at the time of publication. However, product specifications, pricing, availability, market values and other details may change without notice. All content is provided for informational purposes only. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Something About Rocks disclaims liability for any loss, damage or decision made in reliance on published content.

Investment & Market Commentary

Any discussion of resale value, collectability, appreciation potential or market performance is general commentary only and does not constitute financial, legal or investment advice. Readers should consult qualified professionals before making purchasing or investment decisions.

Third-Party Content & External Links

SAR may reference or link to third-party websites, brands or services. We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of third parties. References do not imply endorsement unless expressly stated.

Intellectual Property

All editorial content, design, logos, trademarks and published materials are the property of Something About Rocks or its licensors and are protected by applicable U.S. and international intellectual property laws. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution or commercial use is prohibited.

Right to Modify

We reserve the right to update or modify this Editorial Policy at any time without prior notice.

Advertising & Disclosure Statement

Something About Rocks (SAR) maintains a clear distinction between independent editorial content and paid commercial material. This statement outlines how we manage advertising, sponsorships and material connections.

Advertising

Advertising may appear in print, digital, social media or affiliated platforms. Advertisements are presented separately from editorial content. The presence of advertising does not influence editorial decisions and does not constitute endorsement by SAR.

Sponsored & Branded Content

SAR may publish sponsored articles, branded content, paid partnerships, commercial collaborations or affiliate-linked content. Such content will be clearly and conspicuously disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. FTC guidelines.

Material Connections

If SAR has a material connection to a brand — including compensation, advertising relationships, affiliate commissions, gifted or loaned products, or sponsored travel — such relationships will be disclosed where required by applicable law.

Some digital content may contain affiliate links. If a reader purchases a product through such a link, SAR may earn a commission at no additional cost to the consumer. Affiliate relationships do not determine editorial inclusion or product positioning.

Influencer & Social Media Content

Where SAR or its representatives post sponsored content across social media platforms, appropriate disclosures (e.g., #ad, #sponsored, Paid Partnership tags) will be used in accordance with platform policies and applicable regulations.

Regulatory Compliance

SAR aims to comply with all applicable advertising, consumer protection and media regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates, including U.S. FTC guidelines. We reserve the right to update this statement at any time to reflect regulatory changes or evolving best practices.
