1. Introduction
At Household Proof (“we,” “our,” or “us”), transparency and trust are core to everything we do. This Affiliate Disclosure & FTC Disclosure Policy explains how we may earn compensation through affiliate links and how that affects the content you see on this website.
We are committed to complying with the guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements, testimonials, and advertising disclosures.
2. What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links.
This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate commissions help support:
- Product testing
- Website hosting
- Content creation
- Research time
These commissions allow us to continue publishing honest, in-depth reviews.
3. Our Commitment to Honest Reviews
Compensation does not influence our opinions, ratings, or recommendations.
We evaluate products based on:
- Hands-on testing (when possible)
- Independent research
- Real-world usage scenarios
- Feature comparisons
- Value for money
If we recommend a product, it is because we genuinely believe it provides value to our readers.
If a product does not meet our standards, we will say so.
4. FTC Compliance Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines:
- We clearly disclose affiliate relationships where applicable.
- Affiliate disclosures are placed in a clear and conspicuous manner.
- Any sponsored content or paid partnerships will be explicitly identified.
- Any material connection between Household Proof and a brand will be disclosed.
We strive to ensure that readers understand when a financial relationship exists.
5. Sponsored Content & Product Samples
From time to time, we may:
- Receive free products for review
- Receive compensation for sponsored content
- Participate in paid partnerships
In such cases:
- The relationship will be clearly disclosed within the content.
- Receiving compensation does not guarantee a positive review.
- All opinions expressed remain our own.
We do not accept payment in exchange for guaranteed positive coverage.
6. Third-Party Affiliate Programs
Household Proof may participate in various affiliate programs, which may include (but are not limited to):
- Online retailers
- Marketplace platforms
- Product manufacturers
- Service providers
These programs are designed to provide a means for websites to earn fees by linking to external products and services.
7. No Additional Cost to You
Using affiliate links does not increase the price you pay.
In some cases, you may even receive discounts or special offers through affiliate partnerships.
8. Your Responsibility
You are responsible for conducting your own research before making any purchase decision.
While we aim to provide accurate and up-to-date information, product specifications, pricing, and availability may change without notice.
