Affiliate disclosure

Some links on WorthOrHype are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, the seller may pay us a commission. You pay the same price either way — the commission comes out of the seller's margin, never out of your pocket as a surcharge.

Where the money comes from

We participate in affiliate programmes run by networks such as ClickBank and Digistore24, and occasionally directly with a merchant. Commission rates vary by product and are not disclosed to us in a way that changes as a result of what we write.

We only take a commission on products we recommend

This is our central rule and it is absolute: an affiliate link only ever appears on a product we rate Worth It. Where our verdict is Mixed or Hype, we hold no affiliate link, we join no affiliate programme for that product, and the page states plainly that we earn nothing from it.

The reason is that the alternative is unanswerable. If we were paid on a product we called problematic, you would have no way of knowing whether the reservation was honest or calculated — and neither would we. This rule removes the question rather than asking you to take our word on it. It costs us real money: products reviewed here have offered us commission — one of them recurring — and are marked on the page as earning us nothing.

What it does not buy

It does not buy a score, a verdict, a headline or a position in a comparison. No vendor reviews a page before publication, and no vendor has ever been given the opportunity to change one after it. Nor does the absence of a commission soften anything: the products we earn nothing from are reviewed to exactly the same standard, and are still told to you straight.

How links are marked

Affiliate links are tagged rel="sponsored nofollow" and route through our own /go/ path, which counts the click and forwards you to the seller. Links inside our source lists are editorial references, not paid links.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site is medical, diagnostic, legal or investment advice. Health and performance claims described in our reviews are the manufacturer's and are attributed as such.
