Affiliate Disclosure

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Compliance Statement

Required Disclosure: Danilichev.info participates in affiliate marketing programs. We may earn commissions from purchases made through links on our website. This disclosure is required by the Federal Trade Commission and represents our commitment to transparency with our readers.

What Are Affiliate Relationships?

Affiliate marketing is a standard practice where we may receive compensation when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase. This is how many content websites sustain themselves while providing free, high-quality information to readers.

How It Works: When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant. This commission comes at no extra cost to you—you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant's website.

Our Commitment: We only recommend products and services that we believe can genuinely benefit our readers. Our recommendations are based on thorough research and analysis, not solely on affiliate potential.

Our Primary Affiliate Partner

Digistore24 Partnership

Affiliate Relationship: Danilichev.info is an affiliate partner with Digistore24, a leading digital marketplace for health and wellness products.

Product Focus: We primarily promote health supplements, particularly products related to cellular energy, mitochondrial health, cognitive support, weight management, and overall wellness for people over 40.

Commission Structure: We earn a percentage commission on qualifying purchases made through our Digistore24 affiliate links. The exact commission rate varies by product but typically ranges from 5% to 50% depending on the merchant and product category.

Cookie Duration: Most of our affiliate tracking cookies last between 30 to 90 days. This means if you click our affiliate link and make a purchase within that timeframe, we receive credit for the referral.

How We Choose What to Recommend

Our product recommendation process follows strict standards to ensure we only promote products that meet our quality criteria:

Our Evaluation Process:

1. Research First: We thoroughly research products and their ingredients before considering any affiliate relationship. Every article is built on 30-50 verified sources from peer-reviewed research.

2. Evidence-Based Analysis: Recommendations are based on clinical evidence from authoritative sources like PubMed, NCBI, Mayo Clinic, and Cleveland Clinic. We cite studies with PMID numbers for verification.

3. Quality Standards: We evaluate product quality, manufacturing standards, ingredient transparency, and company reputation before recommending any supplement.

4. Regulatory Compliance: All recommended products must comply with FDA guidelines for dietary supplements and FTC regulations for health claims.

5. User Safety: We consider potential side effects, drug interactions, and contraindications. Products with significant safety concerns are not recommended regardless of commission potential.

6. Balanced Perspective: We present both benefits and limitations of products honestly. Negative aspects are discussed when relevant, even for affiliate products.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. Here's what that means in practice:

Content Decisions: Editorial decisions about what to write and recommend are never influenced by affiliate relationships. We write about products we believe can help our readers, not products that offer the highest commissions.

Honest Reviews: Our reviews reflect genuine analysis based on scientific evidence and research. We do not fabricate positive reviews or testimonials for affiliate products.

Critical Analysis: When research shows a product may not be effective or safe, we report that honestly, even if it affects our affiliate income.

Alternative Options: We mention alternative products and approaches when appropriate, including non-affiliate options when they represent better value or efficacy.

Medical Accuracy: Our health information is based on peer-reviewed research, not commercial interests. All claims undergo thorough fact-checking and compliance review.

What This Means for You

Benefits for Our Readers:

No Additional Cost: Using our affiliate links never increases the price you pay. The merchant pays our commission, not you.

Supports Free Content: Affiliate revenue helps us maintain our website and continue providing free, evidence-based health information to readers like you.

Quality Curation: We pre-screen products for quality, safety, and effectiveness so you don't have to wade through endless options.

Research-Backed Choices: Every recommendation is supported by scientific evidence from authoritative medical sources.

Complete Transparency: You always know when content includes affiliate relationships through clear disclosures.

How We Disclose Affiliate Links

We use multiple methods to ensure you're always aware of our affiliate relationships:

General Disclosure: This page serves as our general affiliate disclosure for the entire website and complies with FTC requirements.

Article-Specific Disclosures: Individual articles containing affiliate links include specific disclosures near the links themselves.

Clear Language: We use straightforward language like "affiliate link" or "we may earn commission" rather than hiding disclosures in complex legal terminology.

Prominent Placement: Disclosures are placed where readers will see them before clicking affiliate links, typically at the beginning of articles or immediately before product recommendations.

Technical Attribution: All affiliate links include proper HTML attributes (rel="nofollow sponsored noopener") as required by search engine guidelines.

Commission and Payment Information

How Affiliate Commissions Work:

Commission Rates: We typically earn between 5% to 50% commission on qualifying purchases, depending on the product category and merchant agreement.

Your Cost: Commissions are paid by the merchant from their profit margin. You never pay extra for using our affiliate links.

Tracking Duration: Most affiliate programs track purchases for 30-90 days after you click our link. If you return to make a purchase within that window, we receive credit for the referral.

Payment to Us: Merchants pay commissions directly to us, typically on a monthly basis after any return period has expired.

Revenue Use: Affiliate revenue helps fund website operations, content creation, research time, professional consultations, and technical infrastructure while keeping our information free for readers.
