Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: September 13, 2024

At Travel Gears Journal, transparency is a priority, and we are committed to maintaining your trust. In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines, this Affiliate Disclosure is intended to clarify the affiliate relationships on our website.

1. What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a link to a third-party product or service that contains a tracking code. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are a common way for websites like ours to generate revenue and continue providing free content.

2. Affiliate Programs Participation

Travel Gears Journal participates in various affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to Amazon Associates and other third-party affiliate programs. Through these partnerships, we are able to offer curated products that align with the content and mission of our site—providing high-quality travel gear recommendations and tips.

These affiliate partnerships do not affect the price you pay for the product or service. Whether you purchase through our affiliate links or directly from the vendor, the price remains the same.

3. Product Recommendations

We only recommend products and services that we believe in and that we feel will add value to our readers. However, it is important to note that any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or party in question. The inclusion of any affiliate link does not constitute our endorsement or guarantee of the product.

4. Earning Commissions

Purchases made through affiliate links on our website may generate a commission for Travel Gears Journal. This commission helps support the maintenance of the website, including hosting fees, content creation, and overall improvements to provide a better user experience. The commissions earned from affiliate links enable us to keep the site running and provide you with quality content.

5. No Extra Cost to You

When you click on an affiliate link from Travel Gears Journal, the price you pay for the product or service is not affected. In fact, in some cases, you may receive discounts or special offers that are available through our partnerships.

6. Honesty and Integrity

Our reviews and recommendations are based on personal experiences, research, and insights from experts in the travel and gear industry. Our goal is to provide you with genuine, unbiased advice. Even though we may receive a commission for purchases made through our affiliate links, this does not influence our content or product recommendations.
