Affiliate disclosure.
How Tech Terrace handles potential affiliate relationships, advertising and editorial independence.
Tech Terrace is an Australian consumer technology publication. Advertising or affiliate referrals may eventually help fund hosting, maintenance and further editorial work. This page explains what those arrangements would mean for readers.
What is an affiliate relationship?
An affiliate link can allow a retailer or network to recognise a referral. If you click a clearly identified referral link and make an eligible purchase, Tech Terrace may earn a commission. Any commission terms are set by the merchant and network, and product prices and availability are controlled by the seller.
What is on the site at launch?
The initial static launch contains no live affiliate referral links, display ad tags, paid reviews or sponsored product placements. We have not added placeholder ads, fictitious merchants or product-test claims. This is an explanation of how commercial content would be handled if added later.
How links and sponsored work will be marked
Affiliate links will be identified clearly and close to the relevant recommendation, not only buried in a policy page. Material sponsorships will be labelled. We will keep editorial and paid content distinguishable and will not imply that a product was personally tested unless that is true.
How commercial partnerships affect our work
We aim to make advice useful whether or not a product offers a referral commission. Our choice of compatibility checks, risks and consumer-rights context should not change because of a merchant agreement. Contact us if you believe a relationship needs clearer disclosure.
