about business issues in both free and paid content. Our internal and external experts,
contributors, and bloggers give advice that may not necessarily represent the

commercial interest in any of the information or services mentioned in the
article. Forms Automater, Inc., has
always strived to operate with the highest levels of integrity and
transparency. Here are the key
components of our disclosure policy:
Disclosure/Conflict-of-Interest:
We endeavor to comply with
the following:
- When
an internal or external writer or blogger publishes a column or article on
our behalf that includes information about a product or service, if
applicable, the fact that they have a commercial interest in that product
or service is required to be disclosed at the end of the article. Our writers are directed to disclose any
relationship with a source that may compromise their objectivity.
- Our
writers are instructed not to give preferential treatment to any outside
resource (publication, video, affiliate, Web site), based on their
relationship with the person or company who authors or owns that resource.
- Some
of the content found on our site is provided by outside publications. These articles should typically have
clearly identifiable logos and/or labels indicating their source. We cannot be responsible for any
commercial interest that a writer from an outside publication may have had
when they wrote the article.
- When
we collect information from you during a registration or purchase
transaction, how we use that information is subject to our Privacy
Policy (link to Privacy Policy) and our Terms of Use Agreement
(link to our Terms of Use Agreement).

customers, and our employees fairly. You
