Affiliate disclosure
Some links on Smart Digital Tools may be affiliate links. If you purchase through one of these links, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
This disclosure explains the relationship behind those links, how to read recommendations and what to check before making a purchase.
What an affiliate link means
An affiliate link can allow a provider or affiliate network to attribute a referral to this website. The commercial relationship concerns that referral; the provider manages the subscription, purchase, billing and support under its own terms.
For questions about an order, account or subscription, use the provider’s support channels. Reading a review or following a link does not change who supplies the service.
The editorial standard
Recommendations should be based on a tool’s relevance and supporting evidence, rather than the commission available. A provider should not be able to purchase a favourable verdict or an undisclosed ranking position.
Where coverage involves payment, complimentary access or another relevant commercial relationship, that relationship should be identified clearly in the relevant content. Research-based information must not be presented as first-hand testing.
Read recommendations in that context: what task is being considered, what evidence supports the conclusion and what limitations are explained? A commercial link is not, by itself, evidence that a product is suitable for your work.
Check the details before buying
Prices, features, offers and plan conditions can change. Confirm the details on the provider’s website before purchasing, including the plan you are choosing and the conditions that matter to your use.
A link or recommendation does not guarantee that a tool will meet your requirements. Compare the proposed purchase with your own task, budget and expected review work rather than relying on the presence of a recommendation alone.
Ask about a disclosure
If a commercial relationship is unclear or you believe a disclosure is missing, please contact Smart Digital Tools. Include the relevant page link and identify the recommendation or link you are asking about so the issue is clear.
