Amazon Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency in our affiliate relationships with Amazon

1. Program Participation Disclosure

PhanMarket ("we," "our," or "us") participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, including but not limited to Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, and other Amazon-operated websites worldwide. This program is administered by Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates ("Amazon").

As an Amazon Associate, we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on our website. These affiliate links allow us to receive a small commission when users click through and complete a qualifying transaction on an Amazon platform, without any additional cost to the consumer.

Key Disclosure Points:

  • We earn affiliate commissions through participation in the Amazon Associates Program when users make qualifying purchases via links provided on our website.
  • These commissions are paid by Amazon and do not affect the price you pay as a consumer.
  • Our inclusion of affiliate links does not influence the integrity of our editorial content, product evaluations, or service recommendations.
  • All reviews, opinions, and recommendations expressed on PhanMarket are based on our independent research, objective assessments, and honest experience with the products or services mentioned.
  • We are committed to full transparency and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory standards concerning affiliate marketing and consumer disclosures.

By using our website and clicking on affiliate links, you acknowledge and agree that PhanMarket may earn a commission for qualifying purchases. We appreciate your support, which helps us maintain and improve our content and services.

2. Affiliate Link Mechanism

As a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, PhanMarket incorporates affiliate links that utilize Amazon's proprietary tracking technology to monitor and attribute sales activity originating from our website. When a user clicks on an Amazon product link hosted on PhanMarket and completes a qualifying purchase within a designated tracking period, we may earn a referral commission in accordance with the program's terms and conditions.

Specifically, Amazon employs a 24-hour tracking cookie mechanism to identify and credit eligible transactions. This cookie is placed in the user's browser when they interact with our affiliate links, allowing Amazon to recognize referrals from our site and associate them with subsequent qualifying purchases.

Technical and Commercial Overview:

  • Upon clicking an affiliate link on PhanMarket, a temporary browser cookie is stored for a duration of 24 hours. This cookie enables tracking of eligible transactions made during that window.
  • If a user completes a qualifying purchase within the active cookie period, PhanMarket may receive a commission as part of the Amazon Associates Program compensation model.
  • The price of the product remains unchanged for the consumer, regardless of whether the purchase is made through an affiliate link or by visiting Amazon directly.
  • Only products that are both added to the shopping cart and purchased during the 24-hour window are eligible for commission attribution.
  • PhanMarket maintains full editorial independence and objectivity in all product evaluations, recommendations, and written content. Affiliate partnerships do not influence our content, nor do they compromise our commitment to providing unbiased and fact-based information to our users.

By using PhanMarket and interacting with affiliate links, users acknowledge and understand the mechanics of affiliate tracking and consent to the use of cookies as described. For more information, please refer to Amazon's official Amazon's Operating Agreement and Program Policies.

3. FTC Compliance Statement

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines on Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), PhanMarket is committed to providing clear, conspicuous, and transparent disclosure of our material relationships with affiliate programs, including but not limited to our participation in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

As an affiliate publisher, we recognize the importance of consumer trust and adhere to the FTC's standards for ethical advertising practices. The following disclosure mechanisms are implemented across our platform to ensure that users are fully informed when engaging with affiliate content:

  • Proximate Disclosure: Affiliate links are accompanied by clear and concise statements such as "As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases", placed immediately before or adjacent to the relevant links to ensure users are aware of the affiliate relationship at the time of interaction.
  • Comprehensive Disclosure: This page serves as a dedicated and detailed disclosure of all affiliate relationships maintained by PhanMarket, outlining the nature, scope, and purpose of such partnerships.
  • Recurring Disclosure: Repeated reminders of our affiliate participation are embedded throughout the user experience, including in footers, sidebars, and other strategic placements, to reinforce transparency during ongoing website navigation.

These practices are designed to not only meet but exceed the minimum disclosure requirements established by the FTC, thereby ensuring that PhanMarket maintains full compliance with relevant advertising regulations and fosters informed decision-making among its audience.

4. Editorial Integrity Policy

PhanMarket upholds the highest standards of editorial independence and integrity. Our participation in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, does not and will never compromise the objectivity, accuracy, or credibility of our editorial content. We maintain a clear and strict separation between our commercial affiliations and the development, review, and publication of our content.

Product Evaluation Methodology:

  • Whenever feasible, we conduct hands-on testing and first-hand evaluation of products featured on our platform to ensure reliable and experience-based assessments.
  • Our product reviews are informed by a combination of expert analysis and comprehensive review of customer feedback aggregated from multiple verified and reputable sources.
  • Evaluation criteria are based on objective factors, including but not limited to technical specifications, performance-to-price ratio, brand reliability, durability, and overall consumer satisfaction metrics.
  • Reviews and recommendations are periodically revisited and updated to reflect product updates, new releases, pricing changes, and evolving market dynamics.

Non-Negotiable Editorial Policies:

  • We categorically do not accept financial compensation or incentives of any kind in exchange for favorable product reviews or endorsements.
  • We do not offer or guarantee preferential placement, visibility, or ranking in exchange for commercial consideration or affiliate status.
  • Our product rating systems, comparison charts, and recommendation algorithms are strictly governed by editorial criteria and are not influenced by affiliate partnerships.
  • Affiliate relationships do not affect the objectivity or fairness of our content. Products that participate in affiliate programs are evaluated using the same standards and rigor as non-affiliated products.

These editorial practices are integral to maintaining the trust of our readers and ensuring compliance with applicable legal, ethical, and industry standards. At PhanMarket, integrity and transparency remain at the core of our mission to deliver reliable and unbiased product information.
