Effective date: August 28, 2026
HomeTriks, available at https://hometriks.com/, publishes informational content about home improvement, home décor, gardening, outdoor living, organization, home maintenance, products and other practical home topics.
Some HomeTriks pages contain affiliate links. This Affiliate Disclosure explains what those links are, how HomeTriks may earn money from them, and how affiliate relationships are handled within our editorial content.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a link to a product, retailer or other third-party service that contains information allowing the retailer or affiliate network to recognize that a visitor was referred by HomeTriks.
If you follow an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or complete another eligible action, HomeTriks may receive a commission or referral fee.
In most cases, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. Any commission is generally paid to HomeTriks by the retailer or affiliate program.
Whether you choose to use an affiliate link is entirely up to you.
Why HomeTriks Uses Affiliate Links
Operating an informational website involves costs such as hosting, website maintenance, research, content creation and technical services.
Affiliate commissions are one way HomeTriks may generate revenue to help support the website and continue publishing content.
HomeTriks may also generate revenue through display advertising or other clearly identified commercial arrangements.
Affiliate Links and Editorial Independence
HomeTriks’ policy is that the possibility of earning an affiliate commission should not determine our editorial conclusions.
An affiliate relationship does not mean that:
- a product automatically receives a positive recommendation;
- a product is ranked higher simply because it generates commission;
- a retailer controls what HomeTriks says about a product; or
- HomeTriks guarantees the quality or suitability of the product.
Products may be discussed because they appear relevant to the subject being covered, based on research, available product information, editorial judgment or other appropriate evaluation criteria.
Where HomeTriks has not personally used or physically tested a product, the content should not imply that we have done so.
Our broader standards for product research, recommendations, corrections and editorial independence are described in the HomeTriks Editorial Policy.
Amazon Affiliate Links
HomeTriks may publish affiliate links to products available through Amazon.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon and the Amazon logo, along with other Amazon product and service names, may be trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Amazon controls its own product listings, pricing, availability, shipping, returns, warranties and customer service.
A link from HomeTriks to an Amazon product does not mean that Amazon sponsors or endorses HomeTriks.
Other Affiliate Programs and Retailers
HomeTriks may also participate in affiliate programs operated by other retailers, brands or affiliate networks.
Affiliate relationships may change over time as programs are added, discontinued or modified.
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not transfer responsibility for a third-party retailer’s products or services to HomeTriks.
When you purchase through a third-party retailer, your transaction is with that retailer and is subject to its current terms, policies and procedures.
How Affiliate Links Are Disclosed in Articles
Where an article contains affiliate links or recommendations that may generate commission, HomeTriks aims to provide a clear disclosure in or near the relevant content.
A typical disclosure may say:
Disclosure: This article may contain affiliate links. HomeTriks may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.
Where Amazon affiliate links are included and HomeTriks is an Amazon Associate, the applicable Amazon Associate identification should also be displayed clearly as required.
A visitor should not have to find this Affiliate Disclosure page before learning that a recommendation may generate affiliate revenue.
Product Recommendations
HomeTriks may publish:
- product roundups;
- comparisons;
- buying guides;
- recommended products;
- home-improvement tools and materials;
- furniture and décor suggestions;
- gardening products;
- smart-home equipment; and
- links to products relevant to informational articles.
A product’s inclusion in an article does not constitute a warranty or guarantee.
HomeTriks may consider factors such as:
- relevance to the article;
- product features;
- specifications;
- manufacturer information;
- retailer information;
- value;
- suitability for the intended use;
- available independent information; and
- other editorial considerations.
The specific methodology may vary depending on the type of article.
We do not claim firsthand experience with a product unless the content genuinely reflects such experience.
Prices, Availability and Product Information
Product prices, specifications, availability, promotions and retailer listings can change at any time.
HomeTriks cannot guarantee that a price, discount, product configuration or availability mentioned in an article will remain the same when you visit the retailer.
Always verify current product information directly with the retailer or manufacturer before making a purchase.
Affiliate Links Do Not Create a Purchase Relationship With HomeTriks
HomeTriks does not currently sell its own physical products directly through the website.
If you click an affiliate link and purchase from Amazon or another retailer, the transaction is between you and that retailer.
HomeTriks does not process the transaction and is not responsible for matters such as:
- payment processing;
- order fulfillment;
- product delivery;
- returns;
- refunds;
- warranties;
- retailer customer service; or
- the performance or safety of the purchased product.
Please review the third party’s current policies before purchasing.
Free Products, Samples and Other Benefits
HomeTriks may occasionally receive a product, sample, service, access or another material benefit from a company.
If such a benefit is connected to editorial coverage or a recommendation, HomeTriks should disclose that relationship clearly where it would reasonably affect how a reader evaluates the content.
Receiving a product or other benefit should not guarantee favorable editorial treatment.
Sponsored Content
Affiliate content and sponsored content are not necessarily the same thing.
With an affiliate link, HomeTriks may earn revenue when a reader completes a qualifying action.
Sponsored content involves a company providing payment or another material benefit in connection with publication or promotion of specific content.
If HomeTriks accepts sponsored content, that relationship should be identified clearly using appropriate wording such as Sponsored, Paid Partnership, Advertisement, or another disclosure that accurately describes the arrangement.
Sponsored content should not be presented in a manner intended to make paid promotion appear to be undisclosed independent editorial content.
Display Advertising Is Different From Affiliate Marketing
HomeTriks may also display advertisements from Google AdSense or other advertising networks.
Display advertising does not necessarily mean that HomeTriks has selected, tested or recommended the advertised product or service.
The appearance of an advertisement should therefore not automatically be interpreted as a HomeTriks endorsement.
Information about advertising-related data and cookies is available in our:
- Privacy Policy; and
- Cookie Policy.
Affiliate Tracking and Privacy
Affiliate links may contain tracking identifiers that allow a retailer or affiliate network to attribute a referral or qualifying purchase to HomeTriks.
When you follow an affiliate link, the third-party retailer or network may use cookies or similar technologies according to its own policies.
Further information about affiliate tracking and third-party privacy practices is available in the HomeTriks Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
External Retailers
HomeTriks does not control independent retailers, manufacturers or affiliate networks.
We are not responsible for changes to their:
- websites;
- products;
- prices;
- availability;
- privacy practices;
- terms;
- shipping arrangements;
- returns procedures; or
- customer-service policies.
An affiliate link should not be interpreted as a guarantee of the third party.
