Disclosure
Affiliate & sponsorship disclosure
Plain English, no lawyer voice. Here is exactly how this site and the channel make money.
Affiliate links
Product links on this site — including everything on the gear page — are affiliate links. If you buy something after clicking one, I receive a small commission from the retailer. You pay exactly the same price.
Jon Adams is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Other retailer programmes work the same way.
What commission does not buy
- A product does not get onto the gear page because it pays more.
- A higher commission does not move something up the list.
- Gear I would not recommend to a friend does not get listed at all, at any rate.
Sponsored videos
Some videos on the channel are paid sponsorships. When that is the case it is disclosed in the video itself and in the YouTube description, as YouTube and the FTC require. A sponsor pays for the placement and never for the conclusion, and no sponsor gets to approve or veto what I say about their product before it goes live.
Review units
Companies sometimes send products for review. Receiving one does not guarantee coverage, and never guarantees positive coverage. Where a unit was provided free of charge, the video says so.
Prices
Prices shown on the gear page are approximate and go out of date quickly. Whatever the retailer shows at checkout is the real price.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, or you think something has been labelled wrongly, tell me and I will fix it.
