Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 1, 2024
Our Commitment to Transparency
At The Other Price, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they may affect our content and recommendations.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a unique identifier linking back to The Other Price. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.
Our Affiliate Partnerships
The Other Price participates in several affiliate programs, including:
- Amazon Associates Program: We earn from qualifying Amazon purchases
- Other Retailer Programs: Various electronics, home goods, and specialty retailers
- Service Providers: Software, subscriptions, and digital services
How This Affects You
No Extra Cost
Using our affiliate links never costs you more. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's website.
Supporting Our Work
When you make a purchase through our affiliate links, you're helping support our independent testing and review process. These commissions help us:
- Purchase products for testing and review
- Maintain our testing equipment and facilities
- Keep our website running and ad-free
- Compensate our team of reviewers and writers
Our Editorial Independence
Unbiased Reviews
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations. We maintain strict editorial independence and always provide honest assessments based on our testing and research.
Testing Process
We purchase most products with our own funds for testing. When manufacturers provide products for review, we clearly disclose this and maintain the same rigorous testing standards.
Negative Reviews
We don't hesitate to give negative reviews or "don't buy" recommendations, even for products with affiliate programs. Our readers' trust is more valuable than any commission.
How We Choose Products to Review
Our product selection is based on:
- Reader requests and popular products in each category
- New releases and innovative products
- Products that claim significant improvements or benefits
- Seasonal and trending items
The availability of affiliate programs is not a factor in our product selection process.
Identifying Affiliate Links
We make it easy to identify affiliate content:
- Clear disclosure statements on pages with affiliate links
- "Buy on Amazon" and similar buttons typically contain affiliate links
- Product recommendation boxes include affiliate disclosures
- This disclosure page is linked from our footer on every page
FTC Compliance
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines regarding affiliate marketing and endorsements. We clearly and conspicuously disclose our affiliate relationships in accordance with FTC requirements.
International Readers
Our affiliate links may not work for all international readers. We primarily use US-based affiliate programs, though we're working to expand our international partnerships.
Your Choice
Using our affiliate links is entirely optional. You can always:
- Go directly to the retailer's website
- Search for the product independently
- Compare prices across multiple retailers
- Use price comparison tools
We encourage you to shop around and find the best deal, even if it means not using our affiliate links.
