Affiliate Disclosure

Facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedinmail

In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links Budgetfitnessequipment.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.

What are affiliate links?

Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on .com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from Budgetfitnessequipment.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay Budgetfitnessequipment.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.

Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.

Amazon affiliate links:

Budgetfitnessequipment.com is also a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.co.uk. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links. Each of your purchases via our Amazon affiliation links supports our cause of funding this website at no additional cost to you.

If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their "shopping cart" through that link, the blogger gets a very small percentage of the sale but again the price to you is no way affected. Amazon links are not “pay per click.”

A lot of time and effort goes into maintaining this website all by myself along with the costs associated to maintaining this researched based website, these small commissions hopefully can cover the ongoing costs involved to make it beneficial to you the end user.
