Maternally Devoted Disclaimers & Disclosures
Last updated: 1 August 2026
This Maternally Devoted website disclaimer explains the purpose and limitations of our content. It also explains how we manage affiliate links, sponsored content, gifted products, external links and other commercial relationships.
Maternally Devoted is an independent parenting and family publication operated from Australia. We are committed to sharing content responsibly and helping readers understand where our information comes from, whether a commercial relationship is involved and the limitations of the information published on this website.
General information disclaimer
The content published on Maternally Devoted is provided for general informational, educational and inspirational purposes only.
Our content may include personal experiences, interviews, contributed stories, editorial opinions, research summaries and practical suggestions. Parenting and family circumstances differ and information that is helpful to one person may not be appropriate for another.
Although we aim to research and review our content carefully, we do not guarantee that every article will always be complete, current, accurate or appropriate for your particular circumstances. Information may change after publication and older articles may be progressively reviewed and updated.
You are responsible for deciding whether information from this website is suitable for you and your family.
Medical, health and professional information
Content on Maternally Devoted is not a substitute for individual medical, mental health, nutritional, legal, financial or other professional advice.
Unless a contributor is expressly identified as a qualified professional, you should not assume that an article has been written or reviewed by a practitioner in that field.
Always seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional regarding your individual circumstances. For urgent health, safety or welfare concerns, contact an appropriate emergency service or qualified professional.
Do not disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you have read on this website.
Lived experiences and contributed stories
Some articles contain personal stories or opinions shared by parents, caregivers, guardians, professionals, interview participants or other contributors.
These experiences belong to the people sharing them and may not represent the experiences or views of Maternally Devoted, its publisher or other contributors.
Personal stories are not presented as universal advice. Where appropriate, names or identifying details may be changed to protect the privacy and safety of children, families or contributors. Any material changes will be disclosed within the relevant article where reasonably practical.
Product mentions and reviews
We may discuss products, services, books, resources or businesses that we believe may interest our readers.
Any review or recommendation will reflect the genuine experience or opinion of the identified writer or contributor. We will not claim to have personally used a product or service unless that is true.
If a product has been gifted, supplied for review or included as part of a paid arrangement, we will clearly disclose that relationship.
A product being mentioned on Maternally Devoted does not guarantee that it will be suitable, safe or effective for every person or family. Please conduct your own research and consider your family’s individual needs before making a purchase or acting on a recommendation.
Current affiliate status
Maternally Devoted does not currently use active affiliate links or receive affiliate commissions from purchases made through this website.
This may change as the publication develops. If we introduce affiliate links in the future, this page will be updated and affected articles will contain a clear disclosure.
How affiliate links will work
An affiliate link is a specially tracked link. If a reader follows that link and makes a qualifying purchase, Maternally Devoted may receive a commission or other benefit from the retailer or service provider.
Using an affiliate link will generally not increase the price paid by the reader, although prices, conditions and eligibility are controlled by the third-party provider and may change.
If affiliate links are introduced:
- articles containing them will include a clear disclosure;
- commercial relationships will not guarantee positive coverage;
- affiliate income will not determine the opinions expressed;
- we will aim to recommend only products or services that we genuinely believe may be relevant to our audience; and
- readers will never be required to use our affiliate links.
An affiliate relationship does not create a partnership, agency relationship or endorsement between Maternally Devoted and the third-party business unless expressly stated.
Sponsored content and gifted products
From time to time, Maternally Devoted may accept payment to create sponsored content or may receive complimentary products, services, event access or other benefits.
Where this occurs, the commercial relationship will be clearly disclosed within or near the relevant content.
Receiving payment or a complimentary product does not guarantee a positive review. We aim to maintain editorial independence and will not knowingly publish opinions that do not reflect the genuine views of the identified writer or contributor.
External links
Maternally Devoted may link to websites, products, services and resources operated by third parties.
These links are provided for convenience and additional information. Unless expressly stated, the presence of a link does not mean that Maternally Devoted owns, controls or endorses the third-party website or everything published on it.
We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, security, privacy practices, pricing, terms or actions of third-party websites. External websites may change without notice.
Please review the terms, privacy policies and purchasing conditions of third-party providers before supplying personal information or completing a transaction.
