Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 26 December 2025

At eRated, transparency and trust are fundamental to our mission. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Some links on our website are "affiliate links." This means that if you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us maintain and improve eRated.

Our Commitment to Objectivity

Our product ratings are never influenced by affiliate relationships. This is a core principle of eRated:

• We do not accept payments from manufacturers to boost ratings
• Our E-Rating system is based solely on objective data and analysis
• Affiliate commissions do not affect which products we review or how we rate them
• We may earn commissions from both highly-rated and lower-rated products

Our mission is to provide honest, objective product ratings. Affiliate relationships help us sustain this mission, but they never compromise our integrity or objectivity.

How We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate links typically appear in the following places:

• Product Pages: "Buy" buttons and retailer links on individual product pages
• Price Comparison Sections: Links to retailers where products are available
• Deal Sections: Links to special offers or discounted products

We always clearly indicate when links are affiliate links, and we provide multiple retailer options when available so you can choose where to purchase.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

We participate in affiliate programs with various UK retailers, including but not limited to:

• Amazon UK Associates Program
• Currys PC World Affiliate Program
• John Lewis Partnership Affiliate Program
• Other UK-based retailers and affiliate networks

This list may change over time as we work with different partners. We only partner with reputable retailers that we trust.

No Additional Cost to You

When you make a purchase through an affiliate link, the price you pay is exactly the same as if you had visited the retailer directly. We do not add any markup or fees. The commission we receive comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your purchase price.

Your Choice

You are under no obligation to use our affiliate links. If you prefer to purchase directly from retailers without using our links, you are welcome to do so. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, regardless of whether you use our links.

Transparency in Action

We believe in full transparency about our business model. This disclosure is always accessible, and we include affiliate notices on relevant pages. If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, please don't hesitate to contact us.

How Affiliate Commissions Support eRated

Affiliate commissions help us:

• Maintain and improve our website and services
• Expand our product database and coverage
• Invest in better data sources and analysis tools
• Keep our service free for consumers
• Sustain our mission of providing objective, unbiased product ratings

Our Promise

We promise to always prioritize your trust and our integrity over potential affiliate earnings. Our ratings will always be based on objective data and honest analysis, never on potential commissions.
