Review Policy |
About Items Received:
Any Items received for review by me, or any other staff member, of Extension Technologies, becomes our Property. Special circumstances can
be arranged, but any deviation to this policy must be agreed to beforehand. We
promise to do an honest review of your product. When a review is completed, you
will be sent a link to the review prior to it going live online. Not that we
need your OK to try and bring honest reviews to the Internet, it is more for: If
something is wrong with the product, or you think our opinion is way off, you
will be given a chance to explain, give guidance, or remedy the situation. We
will NOT take bribes, or be convinced in anyway to NOT disclose anything that you
may not agree with. It's called honest reviews! While we may change wording to agree with anything that we feel is off, or needs to be addressed. Don't think you can change your screw up and have a 100% rating. Yes, with only a few reviews, and some near perfect products, I challenge you to give us a 100%
product! That's your incentive!
Timeframe:
The timeframe of a review from the arrival here at our
office is generally within 14 days. This figure is just a general "educated guess."
Review timeframes will be affected by the number of reviews already in queue,
special circumstances such as, a particular review needs to be done within 7
days, or whatever. If a general projected timeframe cannot reached, we will inform you
ahead of time, or as soon as humanly possible. We do however understand that a product review needs to get out ASAP. We applaud that. We want to be on the cutting edge too. Our goal is within
21 days. But you can understand how that can go sometimes. Maybe you can't, but please, as you maybe
you are in the same situation, WE DO HAVE LIVES OTHER THAN THE INTERNET!
Ratings:
Ratings are based on a percent system The highest being of
course, 100%. The Lowest being 0%. Is there rocket science to the
percent rating? No, It goes by many factors. Examples: Usefulness, Performance,
Price, Errors, Bugs, Manufacturing, etc. While some may be reflected in the
review body, or in the Pros
and Cons section of a review, some may not stated. Who wants to do a 12 page
review on a Power Supply? I don't. Would you?
What We Want:
We are always looking for sponsors who can donate products
for review, and/or work out a an advertising scheme to help out all of us. Don't get me wrong on this, a review, is not advertising, it is a review. Although there generally isn't much ad space here at
ExtensionTech.net, we will try and work with you the best we can to promote your
product, albeit good or... Well, speaking frankly, your product should be good
to begin with. Otherwise, you really don't want us to help you promote a bad
product now do you?
