Affiliate Disclosure

FTC Disclosure

In accordance with FTC guidelines, TheGranulars discloses that we participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions on purchases made through links on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you click through and make a purchase. These links do not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

TheGranulars is a participant in the following affiliate programs:

• Amazon Associates Program: We earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links.
• Best Buy Affiliate Program: We may earn commissions on purchases made through Best Buy links.
• B&H Photo Affiliate Program: We may earn commissions on tech product purchases.
• Other Tech Retailers: We may participate in additional affiliate programs with tech retailers and software companies.

Our Commitment to You

We are committed to providing honest, unbiased product reviews and recommendations. Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our content in the following ways:

• Editorial Independence: Our reviews and recommendations are based on product features, performance, and value - not commission rates.
• Honest Opinions: We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission.
• Disclosure: All affiliate links are clearly marked as such.
• AI Analysis: Our AI-powered product analysis is objective and data-driven.

When We Earn Commissions

We may earn a commission in the following scenarios:

• When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase within the cookie duration (typically 24-90 days depending on the merchant)
• When you click an affiliate link for a software trial and subsequently subscribe
• When you click through to a merchant and make a purchase, even if it's a different product than the one linked

How This Supports Our Site

Affiliate commissions help us:

• Keep TheGranulars free for all users
• Cover hosting and operational costs
• Invest in better AI analysis tools

Product Reviews and AI Analysis

Our product reviews combine:

• Publicly available product specifications from manufacturers

We do NOT let affiliate commissions influence our AI analysis algorithms or review methodologies.

Comparison Shopping

When we provide links to multiple retailers for the same product, we display all available options regardless of commission rates. We believe in helping you find the best price and shopping experience.

Transparency

We believe in complete transparency. On every page with affiliate links, you'll see:

• Clear labeling of affiliate links (marked as "sponsored" or with affiliate disclosure)
• The affiliate disclosure box
• Multiple purchasing options when available

Your Trust Matters

We take your trust seriously. If you ever feel a product recommendation is biased or inaccurate, please contact us at affiliates@techpulse.com. We review all feedback and continuously improve our processes.

No Additional Cost

Important: Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. Prices are the same whether you use our links or not. In many cases, we negotiate exclusive discounts for our readers.

Alternative Options

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can:

• Navigate directly to the merchant's website
• Search for the product yourself
• Use price comparison tools
• Shop wherever you prefer
