Home Tech Made Clear is an independent informational website. Some pages may contain affiliate links to products or services that we believe could be useful to readers.
If you follow an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, Home Tech Made Clear may receive a commission from the retailer or service provider.
There is normally no additional cost to you.
How affiliate links work
An affiliate link allows a retailer or affiliate network to recognise that a visitor reached its website through Home Tech Made Clear.
If you subsequently make a qualifying purchase or complete another eligible action, we may receive a commission.
Not every link on Home Tech Made Clear is an affiliate link. We also link to manufacturers, Microsoft, service providers and other useful sources simply because they help support or explain the information in an article.
How we identify affiliate content
We aim to make commercial relationships clear to readers.
Articles containing affiliate links will include a disclosure where appropriate so readers can understand that Home Tech Made Clear may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
Affiliate content should be clearly distinguishable from ordinary editorial links.
Our editorial approach
Affiliate relationships do not determine which troubleshooting steps, products or services we recommend.
Our priority is to help readers understand and solve their technology problem.
Where buying new equipment is unnecessary, we will aim to say so.
Where several types of product could solve a problem, we aim to explain the differences so readers can decide what is appropriate for their situation.
We do not recommend products simply because an affiliate programme is available.
Product reviews and recommendations
If we state that we have personally used, tested or evaluated a particular product, that statement will be based on genuine experience.
We will not describe a product as personally tested when our information comes only from manufacturer specifications, retailer listings or third-party sources.
Where recommendations are based primarily on specifications, documentation or research rather than direct product testing, we aim to make that distinction clear.
Affiliate programmes
Home Tech Made Clear may participate in affiliate programmes operated by retailers, manufacturers or affiliate networks.
The programmes we use may change over time.
Where a particular programme requires additional disclosure wording, we will include that wording as required.
Prices and availability
Product prices, specifications and availability can change.
Home Tech Made Clear cannot guarantee that information displayed by a retailer will remain unchanged after an article is published.
Before making a purchase, readers should check the current price, specifications, compatibility and terms directly with the retailer or manufacturer.
