Flickthru Affiliate Disclosure
Flickthru is free to use. Some links on this website are affiliate links, which means Flickthru may earn a commission when a reader follows a link and completes a qualifying purchase.
This page explains how those relationships work, where disclosures appear and how Flickthru keeps commercial arrangements separate from editorial rankings and recommendations.
Affiliate relationships do not determine which products are considered, how products are assessed, the score they receive or where they appear in a Flickthru ranking.

Transparent Affiliate Relationships
What an affiliate link means for the reader.
Affiliate links help fund Flickthru without allowing a retailer, manufacturer or affiliate programme to control editorial conclusions.
Flickthru may earn a commission
A qualifying purchase made after following an affiliate link may generate commission income for Flickthru.
No separate Flickthru charge
Flickthru does not add a separate fee to the retailer’s transaction. Prices and purchase terms are set by the retailer.
Rankings remain independent
Affiliate availability does not guarantee inclusion, a higher score, a recommendation or a favourable ranking position.
Readers remain in control
Readers are never required to use an affiliate link and may visit a retailer or manufacturer directly.
A commission may be earned after a qualifying purchase.
Some product buttons, retailer links and other outbound links on Flickthru use affiliate tracking. When a reader follows one of those links, the retailer or affiliate network may record the referral.
If the reader completes an eligible transaction within the programme’s applicable tracking period, Flickthru may receive a commission from the retailer or affiliate network.
Affiliate programmes establish their own eligibility rules, attribution periods, commission rates and exclusions. Flickthru does not control whether an individual transaction qualifies for a commission.
Commercial relationships do not buy editorial outcomes.
Flickthru separates affiliate revenue from product eligibility, evidence assessment, scoring, ranking and published conclusions.
No paid ranking positions
Brands, manufacturers, retailers and affiliate networks cannot buy a ranking position, score, award or favourable editorial conclusion.
No affiliate eligibility preference
A product may be researched, included or recommended whether or not Flickthru has an affiliate relationship connected to that product.
Category criteria come first
Products are assessed against category-specific evidence and buyer needs rather than their potential to generate commission income.
Important disadvantages remain visible
Affiliate-linked products can still receive criticism, lower scores, prominent limitations or exclusion from a final ranking.
Human editorial oversight
Final recommendations and buyer-facing conclusions remain subject to accountable human review and practical market checks.
Corrections are not commercially restricted
Published information may be corrected or rankings may change when evidence, pricing, availability or product circumstances change.
The full policy supports—not replaces—visible disclosure.
Flickthru uses a layered approach so readers do not have to rely solely on a footer link or this full policy page to understand the commercial relationship.
Site header disclosure
A short disclosure is displayed in the site header to tell readers that Flickthru may earn from qualifying purchases made through links.
Page-level or link-level notice
Ranking and product pages may include additional disclosure close to commercial links, buttons or recommendations.

Amazon affiliate links may appear on Flickthru.
Flickthru participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Amazon product prices, availability, delivery estimates, seller details and purchase terms may change. Readers should confirm all information on the Amazon product page before completing a purchase.
Retailers control the final offer and purchase contract.
Product information can change after a Flickthru page is published. The retailer’s live product page and checkout govern the transaction.
Prices and availability can change
Prices, promotions, stock, product configurations and seller details may change without notice. Readers should verify the exact product, current price and availability before purchasing.
The retailer handles the purchase
Payment processing, order acceptance, fulfilment, delivery, returns, refunds, customer service and retailer-specific purchase terms are handled by the retailer or marketplace seller.
Manufacturer warranties remain separate
Product warranties, support rights and manufacturer obligations are determined by the manufacturer, retailer, seller and applicable warranty terms—not by Flickthru.
Links do not guarantee endorsement of a seller
A link to a marketplace does not guarantee every third-party seller appearing there. Readers should review seller identity, condition, delivery terms and return rights before buying.
Sponsored content and paid placements
Affiliate links are not the same as sponsored editorial placement. Flickthru may earn commission following a purchase without a brand having paid for the article, ranking position or recommendation.
If Flickthru publishes sponsored content, paid promotional material or another arrangement requiring separate identification, it will be labelled in a way intended to distinguish it from independent editorial rankings and analysis.
Questions about this disclosure?
Questions about an affiliate relationship, disclosure placement or a commercial link can be sent through the Flickthru contact page.
Transparency supports more useful recommendations.
Affiliate revenue helps support Flickthru’s operation and research, while product assessment, ranking decisions and published conclusions remain governed by the site’s editorial standards and methodology.
