Video Disclaimer

Due to the number of Vendors that are listed and continue to list, it is a process that will take time and effort. Vendors are filmed in an order defined by objective terms that include but are not limited to the number of successful bookings, customer reviews, accessibility of Vendor’s location, time spent on the FishingBooker platform, etc. FishingBooker does not give any material on non-material goods to Vendors for creating videos, nor does it receive them from Vendors in exchange. By creating videos, FishingBooker does not endorse any Vendor, Customer, or listing.
