Shopper’s Verdict believes in full transparency with our readers. This Disclosure Policy explains the nature of our relationships with brands, retailers, and affiliate networks.
1. Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
Shopper’s Verdicts is a participant in various affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to third-party retailers. These programs include, but are not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program – As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates.
- Other Retail Affiliate Programs – We may also participate in affiliate programs with Walmart, Best Buy, Target, eBay, Home Depot, and other retailers. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission.
- Impact, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and Similar Networks – We may work with affiliate networks that connect us with various brand and retail partners.
These commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing free content to our readers. The cost to you is the same whether or not you use our affiliate links.
2. FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, we disclose that we have an affiliate relationship with the retailers and companies mentioned on this site. This means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the FTC’s 16 CFR Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
3. Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. All reviews, recommendations, and opinions expressed on Shopper’s Verdicts are our own, based on genuine research and testing. We only recommend products we believe provide genuine value to our readers.
We do not accept payment for positive reviews. Our rankings and recommendations are based on product quality, value, and performance.
4. Sponsored Content
On occasion, we may publish sponsored posts or reviews that are paid for by a brand or company. Any sponsored content will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or similar language. Sponsored content reflects the views of the sponsoring brand and is clearly distinguished from our independent editorial content.
5. Product Samples
We may occasionally receive free products or samples from manufacturers or brands for review purposes. Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review. We will always disclose when a product was provided for review consideration.
6. Price Accuracy
Product prices and availability are accurate at the time of publication but are subject to change. Always check the retailer’s website for the most current pricing and availability before purchasing.
7. No Professional Advice
The content on Shopper’s Verdicts is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice. We are not financial advisors, medical professionals, or legal experts. Always consult a qualified professional before making significant purchasing or financial decisions.
8. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Disclosure Policy or our affiliate relationships, please contact us through our Contact Us page. We are happy to clarify any aspect of how we earn revenue and how it may or may not affect our content.
