Affiliate Disclosure

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based arrangement where a website (like ours) earns a commission when a visitor clicks a link and makes a purchase from a partner retailer. The retailer pays the commission — you do not pay more, and in some cases affiliate links may unlock special pricing.

How SelvioLab Earns

We participate in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:

• Amazon Associates: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on our site.
• Other retailer programs: We may participate in affiliate programs with major retailers such as Walmart, Target, and brand-direct programs.
• Product review programs: We may receive free review samples from manufacturers, which does not guarantee a positive review.

Our Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Here is how we maintain that commitment:

• No paid placement: We do not accept payment to feature a product in our editorial articles. Product selections are based on research and editorial merit.
• Honest assessments: We highlight both pros and cons. If a product has a significant limitation, we say so.
• No fabricated reviews: We do not invent hands-on testing experiences. When we have not personally tested a product, we use language such as "based on published specifications."
• Same recommendations regardless of commission: We recommend the best product for each situation, whether or not an affiliate link is available. Some recommended products have no affiliate program at all.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on SelvioLab may appear as:

• Buttons with text like "Check current price" or "View on Amazon"
• Text links within article content that lead to retailer product pages
• Product comparison tables with clickable links

When you hover over or click these links, you may notice tracking parameters (such as "?tag=" or "?aff=") in the URL. These parameters allow the retailer to identify that the referral came from our Site.

We also include a short affiliate disclosure notice at the top of every article that contains affiliate links.

Price and Availability

Prices, discounts, and availability of products change frequently. We do not guarantee that prices listed or referenced in our articles are current at the time you read them. Always verify the final price at the retailer's website before completing a purchase.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. The FTC requires that we clearly disclose any material connection between our Site and the products we recommend.

Your Trust Matters

Our business model depends on your trust. If we recommend a product, it is because we genuinely believe it is the best option for the stated purpose. If you ever feel that a recommendation is influenced by affiliate considerations rather than merit, we want to know. Contact us at hello@selviolab.com.
