At Lifestyle Record, transparency and honesty are core values. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our participation in affiliate marketing programs and how we may earn income from product recommendations.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model where we may earn a commission when you purchase products or services through links on our Website. This comes at no additional cost to you—the price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Lifestyle Record participates in various affiliate programs, which may include but are not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international sites.
- Other Affiliate Networks: We may participate in affiliate programs with other retailers, brands, and service providers relevant to our content topics.
- Brand Partnerships: We may have direct affiliate relationships with specific brands whose products or services we feature.
How This Affects Our Content
When we include affiliate links in our content:
- Honest Recommendations: We only recommend products, services, or resources we genuinely believe provide value to our readers. Affiliate compensation does not determine our editorial choices.
- Editorial Independence: Our opinions, reviews, and content remain independent and objective. We maintain editorial integrity regardless of affiliate relationships.
- Disclosure Within Content: Where applicable, we disclose affiliate relationships directly within articles containing affiliate links.
- No Obligation: You are never obligated to purchase through our affiliate links. We provide them as a convenience for readers who find our recommendations helpful.
Types of Affiliate Content
Affiliate links may appear in:
- Product reviews and recommendations
- Resource roundups and “best of” lists
- How-to guides featuring specific tools or products
- Comparison articles
- Embedded links within blog posts
Your Trust Matters
We take our relationship with readers seriously. While affiliate marketing provides revenue that helps sustain Lifestyle Record, our primary commitment is to you—our audience. We will:
- Never recommend products solely for commission potential
- Clearly distinguish between paid partnerships and organic recommendations
- Provide honest assessments, including potential drawbacks
- Respect your intelligence and decision-making autonomy
Commission Disclosure
When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission (typically 3-10% of the sale price, depending on the program). This commission is paid by the merchant, not by you, and does not increase your purchase price.
Product Prices and Availability
Please note:
- Prices and availability of products mentioned on our Website are subject to change
- We are not responsible for price changes, discontinued products, or merchant policies
- Always verify current pricing and terms directly with merchants before purchasing
No Endorsement of Third Parties
Inclusion of affiliate links does not constitute our endorsement of the merchant’s business practices, customer service, or other policies. We encourage you to research merchants independently before making purchases.
