Our Commitment to Transparency
At Rubico, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we work with third parties, handle affiliate relationships, and present sponsored content. We are committed to maintaining your trust by clearly disclosing any financial relationships that may influence the content on our website.
This disclosure complies with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable consumer protection laws. We want you to make informed decisions about the services and products we mention or recommend.
Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Relationships?
Affiliate relationships are partnerships where we may receive compensation when you purchase products or services through links on our website. This compensation helps support the operation and maintenance of our website and services.
How Affiliate Programs Work
When we participate in affiliate programs, we may:
- • Include links to third-party products, services, or equipment that we genuinely use or recommend
- • Receive a commission if you make a purchase through these links
- • Maintain independence in our recommendations and opinions
- • Clearly identify affiliate links when they appear on our website
Our Affiliate Policy
We maintain high standards for affiliate relationships:
- • We only recommend products or services we have experience with or have thoroughly researched
- • Our recommendations are based on quality and value, not commission rates
- • We will never recommend a product solely for financial gain
- • Your purchase price is not affected by our affiliate relationships
Current Affiliate Programs
We may participate in affiliate programs for cleaning equipment suppliers, construction material providers, and professional service platforms relevant to our industry. Specific affiliate relationships are disclosed when applicable content appears on our website.
Sponsored Content and Partnerships
Understanding Sponsored Content
Sponsored content is material that has been paid for by third parties. We maintain editorial independence and clearly identify all sponsored content to ensure transparency.
How We Handle Sponsored Content
- • All sponsored content is clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar designation
- • We maintain editorial control over how sponsored content is presented
- • Sponsored content must align with our values and be relevant to our audience
- • We reserve the right to decline sponsored content that doesn't meet our standards
Brand Partnerships
We may form partnerships with brands and companies in the construction and cleaning industry. These partnerships may include:
- • Equipment and product recommendations based on real usage experience
- • Case studies or project showcases featuring partner products
- • Educational content about industry best practices

Regardless of financial relationships, all content on our website represents our genuine opinions and experiences. We do not publish misleading information or make false claims about products or services, whether sponsored or not.
