In some cases, advertisers and travel brands may sponsor posts and pay for links, but a reasonable effort will always be made to clearly identify sponsored posts and links.
GOT also accepts various other forms of paid advertising (for example, display and banner ads).
Unless otherwise specifically stated, GOT does not endorse any product or service or make any representation regarding the availability, reliability, quality, performance or suitability of any products or services featured in any links, sponsored posts or advertisements appearing on GOT. If you purchase a product or service based upon a link, sponsored post or advertisement on GOT, you must take action with that sponsor or advertiser to resolve any complaints and not with us or GOT.
