How shopping links work.
A clear explanation of links, recommendations, and potential commissions.
Our links
Desk & Kit includes links to retailers and other third-party websites so you can investigate products and read source material. Some links may be affiliate links. When an affiliate relationship applies, we may earn a commission on a qualifying purchase at no additional cost to you.
The presence of a retailer link does not by itself mean that we have a commercial relationship with that retailer. Some links open a general retailer search for a product type rather than a specific item. We do not claim membership in or endorsement by an affiliate network unless that relationship is in place.
What a recommendation means
Recommendations describe a fit for an identified use case and the tradeoffs to consider. Our research-based articles do not claim personal product testing. A commission opportunity is not evidence of quality, compatibility, or suitability.
A link to a search-results page is not an endorsement of every product or seller shown. Check the exact model, seller, delivery terms, return policy, documentation, and current availability before ordering. Retailer results and prices can change without notice.
Sponsored content and products
If a future article is paid for by a sponsor, or if a product was supplied in a way that may materially affect a recommendation, that relationship should be disclosed in the relevant article. General affiliate participation is not an invitation for a brand to control our conclusions.
Questions
Questions about a particular link or relationship can be sent to Mcg.lumphyOdoms@gmail.com. Please include the article URL and the link you are asking about.
