Preamble
The Company publishes a magazine; it sells services to the undertakings of which it writes; and it supplies a portion of that work without charge in exchange for testimonials. Those facts give rise to evident conflicts of interest. This instrument states each of them plainly, in order that the reader may weigh what is published accordingly.
Disclosure is made pursuant to the Endorsement Guides of the United States Federal Trade Commission (16 C.F.R. Part 255), the Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials, § 5a of the German Act against Unfair Competition, and Article 7 of Directive 2005/29/EC.
1. The Publisher
Black Swan Ventures Group LLC, a limited liability company constituted under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States of America, of 30 N Gould Street, Ste N, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801. Sole Managing Member: Nikolas Alexander Pulido. Full particulars appear in the Imprint.
Cashflow Positive AI is a commercial publication operated by a commercial services undertaking. It is not independent journalism, and it is not editorially separated from the Company's sales function. The reader should proceed upon that footing.
2. Material Connection: The AI Concierge
2.1 The AI Concierge is supplied without fee to the first ten undertakings admitted, the Company designing and installing a working system within the participant's own accounts, limited to ten hours. Thereafter the programme continues upon the paid percentage basis described at clause 4 of the AI Concierge Programme Terms and published at cashflowpositive.ai/concierge.
2.2 Participants admitted without fee undertake to furnish an honest testimonial and to permit publication of the results. That supply of services without charge constitutes a material connection within the meaning of the Endorsement Guides, and the Company discloses it upon every occasion on which it publishes a testimonial or case study derived from such a participant, adjacent to the material itself and not by way of footnote.
2.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the Company:
(a) does not pay for testimonials;
(b) does not condition the supply of the build, nor any other thing of value, upon the testimonial being favourable;
(c) does not edit a testimonial so as to alter its meaning, to remove criticism, or to add praise, correcting only typographical error and abridging only for length, and in each case only with the author's approval;
(d) does not suppress unfavourable feedback by writing it out of a case study, where an engagement proved unsatisfactory, the Company publishes nothing concerning it;
(e) does not author reviews of its own undertaking under any other name, nor commission any person to do so.
3. Claims as to Result
3.1 Every figure published by the Company is subject to the following principles:
(a) Individual and not typical. A figure reflects one client, one market, and one moment. It is neither an average nor a forecast.
(b) Labelled. An illustrative, modelled, or hypothetical figure is marked as such upon the same view and in the same visual weight as the figure itself. A model is never presented as a case study.
(c) Substantiated. A figure attributed to an actual engagement is supported by evidence capable of production: an export from a customer relationship management system, a platform record, a call log, or the client's written confirmation , and the client has approved its publication.
(d) Unguaranteed. See the Disclaimer. Where a guarantee attaches to a paid engagement, its terms appear exclusively in the RiskReverse Guarantee and nowhere else.
(e) Selection disclosed. Where a selected best case is shown, the Company states that it is a selected best case.
3.2 Substantiation in respect of any published figure shall be furnished upon written request to mgmt@blackswanventuresgroup.com. Where the Company is unable to produce it, the claim shall be withdrawn.
4. Commercial Relationships
4.1 The Company sells to its readers. The Publication exists in part to generate enquiries in respect of paid services, including builds, retainers, workshops, courses, and engineering work. Commercial intent is to be assumed behind everything published.
4.2 Affiliate and referral arrangements. [CONFIRM one of the following and delete the other:]
Option A: The Company holds no affiliate, referral, or commission arrangement with any tool, platform, or vendor to which it refers. Tools are named because the Company employs them, and not because it is remunerated for naming them.
Option B: The Company participates in affiliate or referral arrangements with the following providers and may earn a commission thereby, at no additional cost to the reader: [list]. Affiliate links are marked with an asterisk. No commission determines what the Company recommends.
4.3 Sponsorship and paid placement. [CONFIRM. Where paid placement is to be accepted, the correct formulation is: "Sponsored content is labelled 'Sponsored' or 'Advertisement' at the head of the item. The Company does not accept payment in consideration of coverage presented as editorial."]
4.4 Vendors. The Company's own operating stack comprises tools which it also assists clients to implement. Familiarity with a tool is a reason for which the Company recommends it, and equally a bias for which the reader should make allowance.
4.5 Related undertakings. Cashflow Positive AI is one of several brands operated by Black Swan Ventures Group LLC. Others include Black Swan Sales, Sales Intelligence, Pulido Engineering, AI Executive, Sales Hijacker, ZoomerStart, and Black Swan Cohort. Referrals between such brands are internal and enure to the financial benefit of the same proprietor.
5. Provenance of the Reader's Contact Details
Where the Company has initiated contact without prior approach by the reader, the reader's business contact details were obtained from public sources or from licensed business-to-business data providers, as described at clause 2.3 of the Privacy Policy and in the Cold Outreach & Communications Policy. Objection may be made permanently, in a single step, by writing to mgmt@blackswanventuresgroup.com.
6. Artificial Intelligence
The Company employs artificial intelligence systems in research, drafting, analysis, and delivery. The matters so undertaken, the extent of human review, and the limits of such systems are set out in the AI Systems & Disclosure instrument.
7. Distribution of the Publication
The Cashflow Positive AI Report is distributed in selected physical locations, such placement being arranged by the Company and constituting a marketing activity. The presence of the Publication in any venue implies no endorsement, partnership, or affiliation on the part of that venue, its operator, or its brand, and the Company makes no claim to any such relationship.
8. Corrections
The Company corrects material error. Corrections are noted upon the affected page together with the date thereof, rather than effected silently. Error is to be reported to mgmt@blackswanventuresgroup.com.
