Amazon Affiliate Disclosure – FTC Rules Compliance
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released new rules to ensure transparency and compliance in online affiliate disclosures. These rules were adopted to ensure that readers or viewers of web media are aware if the blogger or publisher is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with other companies. Readers should be aware if the content publisher earns money by sharing a link or product.
In accordance with FTC guidelines, I encourage you to consider the following regarding links and posts on this site:
Affiliate Links:
All links on toptools360.com are affiliate links, through which I receive a small commission for the sale of certain items. If you decide to purchase a product through one of these links, payment is made directly to the seller, not the site itself.
Amazon and other companies pay toptools360.com a small commission or other compensation for helping direct customers to their website.
The prices for you, as a reader, are exactly the same, whether you purchase through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. Clicking on an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.
Types of Affiliate Programs:
Amazon Affiliate Links:
toptools360.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an advertising program designed to provide website owners with a way to earn commissions by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, as well as other sites that may be affiliated with the Amazon Services LLC Program.Product Affiliate Link:
If you click on a product affiliate link and purchase the item, I will receive a percentage of the sale or some other compensation.
Again, prices do not change if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more if you click through the link. These links are not “pay per click”.
