Sponsorship question
-
My question might be sort of odd. I’m wondering how exactly this works(or doesn’t work) in regards to the Advertising agreement in the ToS for WordPress.
Now I haven’t done any of this, nor do I even know where to start, so it’s purely hypothetical at this point in time.
But basically, say I contact a company and they agree to give me <something> that I can then give back to my readers in a contest, or what have you(maybe I get a lot of <somethings> and I can give them away to the first 100 people who send me an email, as another idea here).
Is that against the ToS in regards to Advertisement, if I mention the company who gave me the <something>. If it’s not against the ToS, how far can you go with that? Is it alright to mention them, and link to them? Mention, link, and put up a little image with their logo?
As an example, say I get a signed book from my favorite author under the stipulation that I’m going to give it away in a contest. I make up some contest rules for someone to win this book(man, this is a cool book!). I’ve read the book, I like the book, I think it’s a neat book. Is it alright to say that, basically? “I’m going to have a contest for this really awesome, signed book by one of my favorite authors. She’s written a lot of this and this, which are also great. You can check out her Facebook page here or go to her website here if you want to see more.”

That should be fine, as long as you are not simply advertising for the company in exchange for money.
