Review Policy
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in collaborating with Canadian Operator. We value transparency, honesty, and integrity in all our reviews. This document outlines our review policy to ensure clear expectations and mutual understanding.
1. Neutrality
We try our best to keep our reviews as neutral and unbiased as possible. Both positive and negative aspects of a product are considered during the review process. Products are reviewed solely on their merit alone and as such, we do not accept any form of compensation in exchange for favorable reviews.
2. Creative and Editorial Control
We exclusively reserve the right to control our creative and editorial process from beginning to end with no influence from third parties. This helps us to keep our branding, content, production quality and publishing strategy consistent and to build trust and rapport with our community.
3. Product Acceptance
Partners may send us prototypes, pre-production models, engineering samples or finished retail products provided they are safe and legal to possess in Canada. If the product is provided at no cost to us, we reserve the right to review it fairly and make no guarantees that it will receive a positive review solely because it was provided at no cost to us. Attempts by partners to influence positive reviews by providing compensation (including products at no cost) will be grounds for the project's immediate termination.
4. Audience Loyalty
The patronage and trust of our audience matters more to us than anything else. To build and maintain that trust, when content is created in collaboration with a partner and/or when a product is provided for review by a partner (at no cost or otherwise), that relationship and/or product will be disclosed to our audience and the content will be labelled as sponsored when applicable.
5. Intellectual Property
All content produced by Canadian Operator (including reviews) and appearing on any of our official channels (such as our website, canadianoperator.ca, YouTube, Rumble, Discord, X, and others) is our intellectual property and may not be distributed by anyone for a commercial purpose without prior written consent from us.. When consent is obtained, the partner may use our content to promote their product on any of their official social platforms and/or website so long as a link to our channel or video is provided. Consent is generally almost always provided when requested, especially by a partner.
6. Collaboration Process
Partners are encouraged to provide as much product collateral and information about their products as possible. Corrections and adjustments are also welcome throughout the collaboration process. We will communicate regularly with the partner to manage production and delivery expectations, timelines, delays, questions and/or concerns. Should we have any feedback or concerns about the product, we'll communicate this with the partner to give them the opportunity to address it prior to publishing it. Other matters can be discussed between parties as required.
