Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: · In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255
1. Commercial Transparency Statement
Gadgetts believes in complete transparency regarding how our publication generates revenue. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, this page explains how affiliate links operate on our website.
Throughout our hardware reviews, roundups, buyer's guides, and deal alerts, you will find links to online retailers. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a referral commission from the retailer. This occurs at zero additional cost to you. In fact, we frequently negotiate exclusive discount codes or highlight verified price drops to help readers secure the best possible value.
2. Editorial Independence & Testing Integrity
Our core editorial policy is absolute: commercial relationships have zero influence on testing scores, editorial verdicts, or product rankings.
- Our hardware testing lab evaluates devices using standardized physical benchmarks, battery loops, and thermal tests.
- A high affiliate payout never earns a flawed product a recommendation or a pass in our lab.
- If a device throttles under sustained load, features subpar software support, or exhibits poor battery endurance, we state those findings directly regardless of affiliate opportunities.
- Our editorial writers do not receive bonuses tied to affiliate revenue generated by specific articles.
3. Specific Affiliate Program Disclosures
Amazon Services LLC Associates Program: Gadgetts is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international marketplaces.
