1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a tracking code. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer (such as Amazon) recognizes that the sale came from our website and pays us a small commission.
This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit the retailer directly.
2. Amazon Associates Program
MechKeyReview is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, as well as the Amazon EU Associates Programme (including Amazon.es, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, and Amazon.co.uk). These are affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.
Our Amazon Associate IDs are: mechkeyreview-20 (US) and mechkeyreview-21 (EU). Links are automatically routed to your local Amazon marketplace based on your language selection.
3. Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is completely independent. We do not accept payment for positive reviews, sponsored placements, or paid rankings. Products are selected for review based on their relevance, popularity, and our genuine interest in testing them.
Affiliate commissions do not influence our ratings, opinions, or recommendations. We provide honest assessments and may recommend products that do not have affiliate links if we believe they are the best choice for our readers.
4. How We Use Affiliate Revenue
Revenue from affiliate links helps fund the operation of MechKeyReview, including server costs, content creation, product purchases for hands-on testing, and site maintenance.
We only recommend products we have personally tested, thoroughly researched, or believe offer genuine value to our readers. Our goal is to help you make informed purchasing decisions, not to maximize affiliate revenue.
5. Price and Availability
Product prices and availability displayed on MechKeyReview are subject to change without notice. We strive to keep information current, but we cannot guarantee that prices or stock levels are accurate at the time you click a link.
Always verify the final price and availability on the retailer's website before completing your purchase.
