Free Review Products and TOS

    Occasionally, I receive offers to review a product. In compliance with WordPress.com’s TOS, my blog’s disclaimer page states that I cannot accept these types of posts and I reject every offer, but the Support forum seems mixed and every answer ends with a suggestion to contact the Support team for clarification.

    Would it be against the TOS if a blogger were to accept free product to review, but does not receive any monetary compensation in return? I do not want to violate the TOS.

    Also, my blog was recently accepted into the WordAds network, and I would rather continue under that than pursue a WordPress.org installation at this time.

    Thanks!

    Hey there,

    Compensated reviews, including those where one receives a trial product, are prohibited.

    Best,

    Thank you! It never hurts to double-check, but I am glad that my interpretation of the TOS was correct.

    I appreciate you taking the time to confirm this policy.
