Stemspur’s mission is to be your most reliable ally in the pursuit of kids’ STEM education. We are dedicated to providing attractive and interesting actionable content that inspires and guides you toward the best possible STEM educational outcomes for you and your family. Stemspur creates content and experiences under strict reviewing guidelines. Funding for Stemspur comes from the sale of advertising on its properties, including website spaces and partner publications.
If you are interested in advertising with Stemspur, please contact us and read this sponsored ads notice carefully. Below are the specific guidelines we adhere to regarding the types of advertising we accept:
1. We review the ads.
We have sole discretion in determining the types of ads accepted and displayed on Stemspur properties. We reserve the right to reject, cancel, or remove any ads at any time and for any reason. Advertisers will receive prompt notice upon rejection, cancellation, or removal, along with an explanation. Additionally, we reserve the right to determine the appropriate placement of ads on Stemspur properties.
2. We don’t endorse any advertised products or services.
While products may appear on our site as advertisements, our acceptance of any ad should not be considered an endorsement of the advertised product(s), service(s), or the company promoting them. Stemspur may independently rate or rank certain products or services, without consideration of any financial or advertising relationships.
3. We will not accept certain types of sponsored ads on Stemspur.
We do not accept ads that are factually inaccurate and/or, in our opinion, in poor taste. Advertised products must be in the market and readily available. Stemspur does not permit the placement of ads for harmful, illegal, or objectionable products or services at any time. Ads must not contain fraudulent, deceptive, or offensive material, and should not misrepresent, ridicule, or attack individuals or groups based on age, color, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or disability. Ads should not be defamatory, libelous, slanderous, or threatening. We do not accept ads related to alcohol, firearms, ammunition, fireworks, gambling, pornography, tobacco, political campaigns, or the simulation of news or an emergency. All ads must identify the advertiser. Any ad that could be misconstrued as editorial content will be clearly labeled as an advertisement.
4. We clearly distinguish sponsored ads from our content.
We maintain a distinct separation between advertisements and editorial content. All ads on Stemspur properties are clearly and unambiguously identified as such. Clicking on an ad will redirect the user to the advertiser’s site or a sponsor’s resource center hosted on a Stemspur property. Sponsored resource centers are labeled as such, with the name of the sponsoring entity displayed.
5. We clearly distinguish between sponsored and non-sponsored content.
Stemspur seeks sponsorships from trusted and credible research organizations, manufacturers, and other service providers. Sponsorships provide financial support to Stemspur and benefit users by offering current information on health services, medications, and treatments. We take meaningful steps to ensure users will not confuse that sponsored content with Stemspur’s own original editorial content. Native advertising refers to links or ads within a piece of content that link to other content. Stemspur may present advertising messages, advertisements, or sponsored posts on its social media channels.
6. Affiliate program
(e-commerce links in Stemspur content, including Amazon Associate Program and other partners) As part of the article creation process, our content includes links to relevant products they believe could be useful to our readers. While all products are chosen independently, Stemspur may receive payment if a purchase is made at the retailer’s site within 24 hours of clicking on one of the provided links. It means we sometimes get a commission through purchases made through our links.
