Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

Transparency is at the core of everything we do. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships.

📌 The Short Version: Revunation uses affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at NO extra cost to you. This helps keep our content free. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.

1. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that track when a user clicks from our website to a retailer's website. If you make a purchase after clicking one of these links, the retailer pays us a small commission for referring you.

🔗 How It Works:
  1. You click on a product link or deal on Revunation
  2. A cookie is placed on your browser (typically lasting 30-90 days)
  3. You shop and make a purchase at the retailer
  4. The retailer recognizes you came from Revunation
  5. We earn a small commission at no additional cost to you

Affiliate links do NOT increase the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket.

2. Our Commitment to Honest Reviews

We take our responsibility to you very seriously. Our core principles are:

  • ✅ Editorial Independence: Affiliate relationships NEVER influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations.
  • ✅ Honest Opinions: We share both pros and cons of products we review.
  • ✅ Thorough Research: We test products when possible and conduct extensive research.
  • ✅ Transparency: We clearly mark affiliate relationships and disclose them prominently.
  • ✅ No Paid Reviews: We never accept payment for positive reviews. All reviews are based on genuine evaluation.
⚠️ Important: If a product doesn't meet our standards, we will say so — even if it means we don't earn a commission. Your trust is more important than any affiliate payment.

3. How We Earn Commissions

Revunation participates in various affiliate programs. These include:

Types of Affiliate Relationships:

  • Retail Affiliate Networks: We partner with major affiliate networks that connect us with thousands of retailers.
  • Direct Merchant Programs: We have direct affiliate relationships with many popular online stores.
  • Amazon Associates: We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
  • Product Review Programs: Some manufacturers provide affiliate links for their products.
  • Comparison Shopping Services: We may earn commissions when you compare products through our tools.

Commission Rates:

Commission rates vary by retailer and product category. Typical rates range from 1% to 15% of the purchase price. Some programs offer fixed fees per sale. The exact commission does not affect our recommendations.

4. Where Affiliate Links Appear on Our Site

You'll find affiliate links in several places across Revunation:

  • Product Reviews: "Check Price" or "View Deal" buttons within our reviews
  • Buying Guides: Links to recommended products
  • Product Comparisons: Price check links in comparison tables
  • Deal Pages: Links to retailer offers and promotions
  • Store Listings: Links to store websites
  • Newsletters: Product recommendations in our email newsletters
🔍 How to Identify Affiliate Links: We strive to mark affiliate links clearly. Look for language like "Check Price," "View Deal," "Shop Now," or "Get This Deal." We also include a disclosure notice at the top of relevant pages.

5. Cookies & Tracking

Affiliate links work using cookies — small text files stored on your browser. Here's what you should know:

Cookie Duration:

  • Most affiliate cookies last between 30 to 90 days
  • Some programs offer longer durations (up to 365 days for certain products)
  • Amazon cookies typically last 24 hours for most products

What Cookies Track:

  • That you came from Revunation
  • Which link you clicked
  • The retailer you visited
  • Your purchase confirmation (for commission attribution)
🍪 Cookie Control: You can delete or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, doing so may prevent us from receiving credit for purchases you make, which helps support our free content. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

6. No Extra Cost To You

💰 This is important: Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer, NOT by you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate links or go directly to the retailer's website.

Retailers set aside marketing budgets to pay affiliates for customer referrals. This is no different from them paying for TV commercials or online ads. You never pay more because you used our link.

7. Sponsored Content vs. Affiliate Content

It's important to understand the difference:

Affiliate Content (Most of Our Content):

  • We choose which products to review or recommend
  • We have full editorial control
  • Opinions are 100% our own
  • We earn commissions when you buy

Sponsored Content (Clearly Labeled):

  • A brand pays us to create content
  • Always labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Ad"
  • We maintain honesty even in sponsored content
  • Rare on Revunation — we prioritize affiliate content
📢 Disclosure of Sponsored Content: If any content on Revunation is sponsored, it will be clearly and conspicuously disclosed at the beginning of the content. We do NOT accept payment for positive reviews.

8. Affiliate Programs We Participate In

Revunation participates in a wide range of affiliate programs. While we cannot list every single program, here are the main categories:

  • Major Retailers: Amazon, Walmart, Target, eBay, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, and hundreds more
  • Affiliate Networks: Various affiliate networks that connect us with thousands of merchants
  • Specialty Retailers: Niche stores in categories like electronics, home goods, fashion, beauty, and fitness
  • Direct Partnerships: Individual agreements with brands we love
📋 Full List Available: For a complete list of our affiliate partners, please contact us. We're happy to provide transparency about our business relationships.

9. Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate marketing allows us to:

  • Keep Content Free: We don't charge subscription fees or paywalls
  • Avoid Display Ads: No annoying pop-ups or banner ads
  • Invest in Quality: Hire expert reviewers, buy products to test, and improve our website
  • Stay Independent: We don't rely on brand sponsorships that could influence our opinions
  • Scale Our Content: Cover more products and categories to help you save money

Without affiliate commissions, Revunation would not be sustainable. We're grateful for your support when you use our links.

10. Our Product Review Process

To ensure honesty and quality, our review process includes:

  • Hands-On Testing: When possible, we purchase and test products ourselves
  • Expert Research: We analyze specifications, user reviews, and expert opinions
  • Comparison Analysis: We compare products against competitors
  • Regular Updates: We update reviews as new products or information becomes available
  • User Feedback: We consider comments and experiences shared by our community
⭐ No Influence: Affiliate relationships NEVER affect our ratings. A product earns its rating based solely on its quality, value, and performance — not on commission rates.

11. What If You Don't Want to Use Affiliate Links?

We respect your choice. Here are your options:

  • Use Our Links Anyway: It costs you nothing and supports our work
  • Navigate Directly: Go directly to the retailer's website without using our links
  • Disable Cookies: Disable cookies in your browser (may affect other websites too)
  • Use Incognito Mode: Private browsing limits cookie tracking

If you find our content valuable, using our affiliate links is the best way to support us. It costs you nothing extra and helps us continue providing free, honest recommendations.

12. Amazon Associates Program Disclosure

📚 Amazon Specific Disclosure: Revunation 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 sites.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon affiliate links are clearly marked and follow all Amazon requirements.

13. FTC Compliance Statement

Revunation fully complies with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines regarding affiliate disclosures. Our practices include:

  • Clear, conspicuous disclosures near affiliate links
  • Disclosures that are easy to find and understand
  • Honest and accurate representations of products
  • Truthful claims about endorsements and testimonials
  • Transparency about material connections to retailers
⚖️ FTC Endorsement Guidelines: We follow the FTC's Endorsement Guides, which require clear disclosure when there is a "material connection" between an endorser and the advertiser. Affiliate relationships are material connections, which is why we disclose them.

14. No Guarantees or Warranties

While we strive to provide accurate information, we cannot guarantee:

  • That deals or discounts will still be available when you click
  • That prices shown are current (retailers change prices frequently)
  • That products will meet your specific needs
  • That affiliate links will always work (retailers change systems occasionally)
  • That you will be satisfied with any product purchased

Please verify details directly with the retailer before making a purchase. Your satisfaction is ultimately between you and the retailer.
