3. Affiliate Marketing Programs
Affiliate Link Disclosure

No Additional Cost Promise
We want to be absolutely clear: using our affiliate links will never result in additional charges to you. The retailer pays our commission as part of their marketing costs, and your purchase price remains identical to what you would pay through any other channel.
Product Selection Independence
Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence which products we recommend. We only recommend products that we genuinely believe will be valuable to our readers, regardless of commission rates or affiliate availability.
