Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Social Arc, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may benefit financially from certain links, recommendations, and partnerships featured on our website.

We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information to our visitors. When we include links or recommendations that may result in compensation, we will always disclose this relationship. Our integrity and your trust are paramount to everything we do.

Affiliate Relationships

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some links on our website may be affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or take a specific action, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.

Affiliate links are typically related to tools, services, or resources that we genuinely believe could benefit our audience. We only promote products and services that align with our values and that we believe offer real value.

How Affiliate Commissions Work

When you use our affiliate links to make a purchase or sign up for a service, the company may pay us a commission. This commission structure varies by partner and may be:

A percentage of the purchase price
A fixed amount per transaction
A recurring commission for subscription services
A commission for successful referrals or sign-ups

These commissions never increase your cost. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or navigate to the site directly.

Our Product Recommendation Policy

Our recommendations are based on honest evaluation and genuine belief in the value of the products or services we suggest. We prioritize:

Quality and reliability of products and services
Relevance to our audience's needs and interests
Our personal experience or thorough research
Positive reputation and customer feedback
Fair pricing and value for money

We will never recommend a product or service solely because it offers a higher commission. Our recommendations reflect our honest opinion and are influenced by what we believe will genuinely benefit our audience.

Financial Relationship Transparency

When we have a financial relationship with a company we mention, recommend, or link to, we make reasonable efforts to disclose this relationship. You may see disclosures in the form of clear statements, special notation, or other indicators that a particular link or recommendation may result in compensation to us.
