1. Introduction
Welcome to ToolCraftz.com — your trusted resource for honest, hands-on insights into the world of tools, gear, and technology for makers and creators.
Transparency is a cornerstone of our values at ToolCraftz.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we earn commissions through affiliate partnerships, ensuring you understand how we operate and fund our content.
We believe in full honesty and integrity in every product recommendation.
2. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that connect our website to partner retailers or marketplaces.
When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, ToolCraftz may earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you.
This commission helps support:
- Our product testing and reviews
- Hosting and website maintenance costs
- Free educational content for our readers
3. Affiliate Programs We Participate In
ToolCraftz is an independent participant in multiple affiliate marketing programs, including:
- Amazon Associates Program
As an Amazon Associate, ToolCraftz earns from qualifying purchases. - ShareASale, Impact, and CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) for selected tool brands and retailers.
- Specialty partnerships with verified manufacturers and tech brands that align with our editorial standards.
All affiliate relationships are reviewed for product quality, brand credibility, and audience relevance before we recommend them.
4. Our Review Process and Integrity Promise
At ToolCraftz, we never recommend a product solely for affiliate commission.
Our reviews and recommendations are based on:
- Independent testing (when possible)
- Hands-on experience
- Verified product specifications
- Aggregated user reviews and long-term reliability
We will always disclose when a post contains affiliate links, typically with a notice such as:
“Disclosure: Article on the website may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through them, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.”
This approach ensures complete transparency and compliance with FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and Amazon Associates Program guidelines.
5. No Influence on Pricing or Product Availability
Affiliate partnerships do not affect:
- The price you pay for any product
- Product availability or delivery terms
- Our opinions or review conclusions
Retailers determine all pricing and product details independently.
Our only goal is to guide you toward reliable, safe, and worthwhile tools.
6. Editorial Independence
ToolCraftz maintains full editorial control over all published content.
We never allow advertisers or partners to dictate:
- What we write
- Which products we review
- How we rate or compare products
Every recommendation comes from genuine testing, experience, or credible research.
If a product doesn’t meet our standards, we simply don’t recommend it — regardless of commission potential.
7. Transparency and Reader Trust
We value our readers’ trust above everything.
To protect that trust:
- We clearly label affiliate links and sponsored content.
- We never hide or mask affiliate URLs.
- We maintain strict accuracy and objectivity in our content.
We encourage readers to contact us directly if they ever have concerns about any recommendation or partnership.
8. Compliance with Laws and Guidelines
ToolCraftz complies with:
- FTC 16 CFR Part 255 – Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising
- Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement
- GDPR and CCPA transparency requirements for users’ data rights
We update our affiliate policies periodically to stay aligned with these regulations.
9. Your Support Matters
Each time you click through an affiliate link and make a purchase, you directly support ToolCraftz.
Your support allows us to:
- Test more tools
- Publish more free guides
- Keep our website ad-light and content-focused
