Who writes this site
Guides on this site are edited by Avani Sofia Gregg, whose byline appears on every article along with the date the page was last substantively changed. There is a profile page listing what she covers.
We are not going to overstate this. The byline is a real editorial role asserted by the site owner, but it currently has no resolving external profile attached to it — no verified professional page a reader can check independently. Rather than pad the schema with an invented biography, credentials or social links, the author's `sameAs` field is deliberately empty. An empty field is honest; a fabricated one is not, and it is trivially detectable.
Vivimate IPTV is a commercial IPTV reseller. Every page on this site is published by a company that sells IPTV subscriptions, and nothing here should be read as independent consumer journalism.
What we do not publish
No star ratings, no aggregate review scores, no customer testimonials. We used to publish all three: a 4.9-out-of-5 built from 2,847 reviews that were never collected, and 24 named testimonials with cities and dates attached to people who did not exist. They were removed in August 2026 and nothing replaced them, because there is no honest way for a seller to self-certify its own rating.
No AggregateRating markup appears anywhere on this site, including in structured data where a reader would not see it. Google treats self-served ratings as ineligible for star display regardless of accuracy, but that is not why they are gone.
No invented numeric scores for third-party products. Review pages here describe what a product does and who it suits; they do not assign it 8.8 out of 10.
How claims are sourced
Prices for third-party services are checked against the provider's own published pricing page wherever that page is reachable, and each figure carries the date it was checked. Where a provider geo-gates or blocks its pricing page, the row is marked as sourced from a secondary reference rather than silently presented as verified. Our cost calculator flags every row as primary or secondary for this reason.
This is not pedantry. When we last rebuilt those figures, several widely-republished prices agreed with one another and were all wrong — one by more than $200 a year — because they were copying each other rather than the provider.
Our own prices come from one place in the codebase and are rendered from it, so the pricing page, the structured data and the file we publish for AI crawlers cannot drift apart. They previously did: a file written specifically for AI crawlers to quote advertised two subscription plans that have never existed.
Specifications in the seven-service comparison are provider-published figures rather than measurements we have taken, and the comparison page says so.
Dates
The date shown on a page is the date that page was last substantively changed, and it matches the `dateModified` in that page's structured data. Pages with no real modification date render no date at all.
Until August 2026 dozens of pages carried a hardcoded "Updated May 2026" line that was three months stale and matched no page's actual history, and the article template filled in an invented "April 2026" for any page that supplied no date. Both are gone.
Commercial relationships
We promote seven IPTV services across our country guides. One of them is our own. Some links to the other six are commercial. The seven are listed alphabetically and are not ranked against one another — we removed the ranking in September 2026 because we held first place on all 23 guides and had published no basis for the order.
Every page carrying that comparison states this in a disclosure at the top of the list rather than in a footer.
Corrections
If something on this site is wrong, tell us and we will fix the page rather than quietly delete it. Message us on WhatsApp or email contact@vivimateiptv.com with the URL and what is incorrect.
Where a correction changes a material fact — a price, a specification, a legal position — we update the page and its modification date. We maintain an internal ledger of every verifiable claim on this site and its status, and claims we cannot substantiate are tracked there as unverified rather than left to sit as though they were checked.
