Sponsored Content Disclosure

REVMARQ may publish sponsored content, paid partner features, advertisements, vendor profiles, or sponsored placements. These placements are clearly labeled.

Sponsorship or paid placement does not influence The Marque Awards nominations, judging, finalist selection, winners, Marque Rated scores, editorial rankings, professional recognition, or independent evaluation.

REVMARQ maintains strict separation between commercial partnerships and credibility-based recognition. Nominations for The Marque Awards are always free. No purchase is required to nominate, be nominated, be reviewed, become a finalist, or win.

REVMARQ uses the following labels so paid and recognition placements stay clearly separate from independent editorial, ratings, awards, and verification:

Sponsored — content or placement created as part of an active paid sponsor or advertising relationship.
Advertisement — paid display advertising.
Sponsor Billboard — a paid rotating advertising placement inside the REVMARQ Digital Billboard Network.
Paid Marketplace Placement — paid visibility inside the Products and Services marketplace (Featured Listing or Marketplace Spotlight Partner).
Founder Honor — historical recognition for a Founding Circle contributor. A Founder Honor is not automatically an advertisement unless the placement promotes a product or service.
Marque Rated — an independent rating, review, verification, or evaluation status. Marque Rated is never sold as a sponsor benefit and is not influenced by sponsorship, Founder status, or paid marketplace placement.

Vendors and lenders listed on REVMARQ are not automatically Sponsors. Sponsor status applies only to approved organizations with an active paid sponsorship or advertising relationship. Founder status is a one time historical recognition designation and is not a sponsorship subscription.
