Transparency Always Comes First

2. Our Affiliate Partners

We are committed to recommending only products and services that we genuinely believe in and that are relevant to our audience. Our current affiliate partners include:

• Amazon.in — As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links on our site. This applies to recommended books, tech gadgets, creative tools, and other products linked from our blog posts, tutorials, and deal pages.
• Flipkart — We partner with Flipkart's affiliate program to recommend relevant products available on their platform.
• Other Partners: From time to time, we may also participate in affiliate programs for software tools, hosting services, domain registrars, and other digital services that we use and recommend. This will be clearly disclosed alongside any such recommendation.

3. How It Works

• When you click an affiliate link on our website, a small cookie is stored on your browser by the merchant's affiliate system.
• If you make a purchase within the cookie's validity period (typically 24-30 days, depending on the program), we receive a commission — usually a small percentage of the sale price.
• The commission rates vary by program and product category but are typically between 1% and 10% of the purchase value.
• Commissions are paid by the merchant (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.), not by you. Your price remains unchanged whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant's site.
• We do not have access to any personal or payment information you share with the merchant during the purchase process.

4. Our Transparency Commitment

• We clearly label affiliate links on our blog posts, tutorial pages, and deal pages with a disclaimer where feasible.
• We only recommend products and services we have personally used, researched, or believe offer genuine value to our audience.
• Our editorial content and product recommendations are never influenced by affiliate commissions. If we don't like a product, we won't recommend it — regardless of the commission rate.
• We do not allow affiliate relationships to compromise the quality, honesty, or independence of our content.
• If you have any questions about a specific link or recommendation, please contact us and we will gladly clarify.

5. FTC & Indian Guidelines Compliance

Our affiliate disclosure practices comply with the following regulations and guidelines:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines: We follow the FTC's Endorsement Guides requiring clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between advertisers and endorsers. Our disclosures are placed close to affiliate links, in plain language, and are not buried in footnotes.
• Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI): We comply with ASCI's guidelines for influencer and affiliate marketing, which require that promotional content is clearly identifiable and that material connections are disclosed.
• Consumer Protection Act, 2019: We adhere to the provisions regarding misleading advertisements and unfair trade practices, ensuring that our recommendations are truthful and substantiated.

If you believe any content on our site does not meet these standards, please contact us immediately at disclosure@geetai.studio.
