Affiliate Disclosure

We believe in transparency. This page explains how we work with affiliate programs and how it affects you.

1. Introduction

Welcome to CoreDesk's Affiliate Disclosure page. We believe in complete transparency with our readers and visitors. This page explains how we work with affiliate programs, how we earn commissions, and how this affects you.

Our primary goal is to provide honest, unbiased reviews and recommendations. We disclose our affiliate relationships because we value your trust and want you to understand how our website operates.

3. Amazon Associates Program Participation

CoreDesk is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

We are an affiliate marketer for Amazon and may earn referral fees and commissions from purchases made through affiliate links on our site. These are "Qualifying Purchases" as defined by Amazon. This arrangement does not affect the price you pay.

Affiliate Disclaimer

As an Amazon Associate, CoreDesk earns from qualifying purchases. This means that if you purchase a product through one of our links, we receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

4. How This Affects You

No Extra Cost

You pay the exact same price whether you buy through our link or directly. Your purchase price remains unchanged.

No Hidden Charges

We do not add any markup or hidden charges to products. The price you see is the price you pay.

Your Privacy

We do not collect or share personal information just because you click an affiliate link. Your privacy is protected according to our Privacy Policy.

Same Warranty & Support

You receive the same warranty, customer service, and support from the merchant as if you had purchased directly.

5. Our Product Recommendation Policy

We are committed to providing honest, unbiased product reviews and recommendations. Here's how we maintain integrity:

  • Honest Reviews: We review products based on quality, value, usability, and user feedback—not commissions.
  • No Sponsored Content: We do not accept payment to promote specific products in our regular reviews.
  • Commission Neutral: We recommend products we genuinely believe in, regardless of commission rates.
  • Full Transparency: We disclose when links are affiliate links or if we have a financial relationship with a brand.
  • Criticism Included: We mention product drawbacks and limitations, even on affiliate links.
  • Alternative Recommendations: We often recommend alternatives and competitors, even if they generate lower commissions.

7. Legal Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with:

  • Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement — We comply with all Amazon affiliate guidelines.
  • FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR § 255) — We disclose material connections and compensated endorsements.
  • Consumer Protection Standards — We maintain transparent and honest business practices.
