Affiliate Sourcing & FTC 16 CFR § 255 Disclosure
Mandatory Transparency Ledger • Last Updated: 2026
1. Compliance with FTC Guidelines
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR § 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising, please assume that any outbound link leading to a commercial product page on an external vendor website is an affiliate referral link.
2. Consumer Pricing Guarantee (Zero Markups)
Our referral agreements are negotiated directly with partner vendor networks (such as Keychron, Hostinger, NordVPN, Amazon, and official merchant programs). Referral fees are disbursed from the vendor's customer acquisition budgets. You will never pay higher prices by using our links; in fact, our partnership codes frequently unlock lower negotiated rates.
3. Editorial Autonomy & Product Evaluation
Our evaluations and technical highlights are conducted independently. Financial compensation from vendor programs does not dictate our technical recommendations. Products with sub-standard durability or poor security practices are rejected from our catalog.
