Affiliate & Editorial Disclosure

Short version

Some links on Stormlikes are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We only link to providers we would send a friend to, and no provider pays to influence what we publish.

What affiliate links are

An affiliate link is an outbound link with a tracking parameter that identifies Stormlikes as the referrer. If you buy something through one, the provider pays us a percentage of the transaction. The price you pay is identical to the price you'd pay coming through any other link or typing the URL directly.

Which links are affiliate links

On every page that includes an affiliate link, we mark the link clearly — either with a dedicated disclosure box near the link or with a rel=“sponsored”attribute in the link itself. When in doubt, hover over the link: if the URL contains a referral or affiliate identifier, it's an affiliate link.

How we choose partners

We maintain a small number of partnerships with providers that pass our evaluation. Evaluation covers:

Delivery quality — does the service actually do what it claims, and does the pattern of delivery align with what the platform rewards?
Platform safety — are accounts at elevated risk of audit or action as a result of using the service?
Refund policy — is there a clear, honored policy if delivery fails or drops?
Customer service — does real human support respond in a reasonable time?
Price-to-quality ratio — is the price justified relative to peers?

Providers that fail the evaluation do not appear as recommendations, regardless of what commission they offer. We check our partners quarterly and drop any that slip on the criteria above.

Editorial independence

Our guides are written independently of our business relationships. Specifically:

Commissions do not change our verdict on a service or provider.
We do not accept content, drafts, or edits from providers.
We do not take payment to publish new reviews or remove critical content.
When our view of a partner changes, the partnership ends, not the coverage.
