Mum Central Reader Trial & Product Sampling Terms and Conditions

Hey there, mama! We’re thrilled you’re considering joining one of our fabulous reader trial or product sampling projects. It’s an opportunity not just to try out some fantastic products for free but also to be a part of a community that values real feedback from real mums just like you. Each of our projects is designed to fit into your busy life, giving you a chance to discover and share new products that could make a real difference to your family’s daily routine and, best of all, share your thoughts and opinions with our incredible community.

Before diving in, we want to ensure you’re fully on board with what’s involved. Participating in each of our product sampling projects means you’re ready to engage actively and share your honest thoughts. We’re all about transparency and constructive feedback, whether it’s a rave review or constructive criticism. Your insights are invaluable to us and other mums and the brands we partner with.

Plus, it’s super important you’re able to commit to our project timeline and meet each of the deadlines, so please make sure you double-check the dates, and if this doesn’t work for you, it’s important you speak up early.

So, if you’re ready to commit to trying out new products and sharing your experience, we’re excited to have you on board! Read on through the Product Sampling Terms and Conditions below, and we can’t wait to hear from you!
