How reviews work, how the site makes money, and how the two are kept separate. The full disclosure, plainly stated.
Federal Trade Commission rules require any site earning commission on linked purchases, or accepting product from brands, to disclose those relationships clearly and conspicuously. This page does that.
The disclosure is split into five categories. Each names a specific commercial relationship and the editorial rule that governs it.
The Five Disclosures
Brands do not pay for placement. Some pieces are bought, some are submitted by brands, some are loaned. Submission does not guarantee a review. A piece is reviewed only if it is worth the reader's time.
Every reviewed piece is scored against The Call Standard™ — a ten-category rubric out of one hundred points. Approval requires a score of ninety or above. The full methodology lives at The Call Standard.
Mr Call Designs participates in retailer affiliate programs. The site may earn a commission on purchases made through links in a review. The commission is paid by the retailer. The reader's price is the same whether they arrived through this site or any other path.
Any piece that arrived gifted, loaned, or comped is labeled at the top of the review. The label is required. A gifted piece is scored by the same rubric as a purchased piece. The label does not move the score.
No brand pays to influence a score. No score is adjusted for commercial consideration. A score that hurts a commercial relationship is published anyway.
