At RQReview.com, we strive to provide you with the most accurate and helpful reviews. As part of our efforts to maintain transparency and comply with regulatory requirements, we want to inform you about our affiliate relationships.
What is an Affiliate Relationship?
We participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we earn commissions by promoting products or services of other companies. This relationship is disclosed to ensure that you understand our potential financial gain from your purchases through our affiliate links.
Disclosure Requirements
In accordance with the FTC guidelines, we are required to clearly disclose any affiliate relationships. This means that whenever we endorse or recommend a product, we must inform you if we stand to benefit financially from your purchase.
How We Disclose Affiliate Links
- Clear and Conspicuous Disclosure: We ensure that our disclosures are clear, easy to understand, and prominently displayed near the affiliate links.
- Transparency: We want you to know that we may earn a commission if you purchase a product through one of our affiliate links. This does not affect the price you pay for the product.
Examples of Affiliate Disclosures
Here are examples of how we might disclose affiliate links:
- Example 1: “This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.”
- Example 2: “We are a participant in the [Program Name] affiliate program, which means we earn fees by linking to [Company Website].”
Compliance with Affiliate Programs
We comply with the requirements of affiliate programs we participate in, such as Amazon Associates, by clearly stating our affiliation and including the necessary disclosures.
Why Disclose?
Disclosing our affiliate relationships is not only a legal requirement but also a way to build trust with our audience. We believe in transparency and want to ensure that you have all the information you need to make informed decisions.
