Starter Legal Template — Owner Review Required

Affiliate Disclosure

Template status: Draft starter policy requiring owner and legal review prior to commercial launch.

Owner Review Checklist Before Publishing: Confirm the legal business entity name, list each active affiliate network or retail partner program (e.g., AirDoctor direct affiliate program), confirm FTC endorsement compliance wording with counsel, and update the effective date below.

1. How The Clean Air Guide Is Funded

The Clean Air Guide may earn a commission when you purchase through links on our site, at no additional cost to you.

The Clean Air Guide ([INSERT LEGAL BUSINESS ENTITY NAME BEFORE LAUNCH]) operates as an independent consumer education and air purifier comparison website. Rather than charging readers subscription fees or running intrusive pop-up advertisements, we may participate in affiliate marketing programs after approval. AirDoctor approval and tracking URLs are currently pending; product buttons link to official manufacturer pages without affiliate tracking.

2. Retail Pricing & Availability

When you purchase through an affiliate link on our site, any referral commission is paid by the merchant or affiliate network—not added to your checkout total. However, prices, promotional bundles, shipping charges, and return terms vary between retailers and can change at any time. We do not guarantee that every retailer offers the same price for a given product, and we encourage shoppers to verify current totals directly on the retailer’s checkout page.

3. Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships do not buy favorable coverage, fabricated test ratings, or omission of product drawbacks. Unverified specifications are marked “To be confirmed,” and manufacturer-stated claims are identified as such.

4. Active Affiliate Programs (Owner to Complete)

AirDoctor: approval pending. No approved AirDoctor tracking URL has been configured. Program-specific disclosure requirements and the legal entity name require owner review before commercial launch.

Manufacturer and affiliate partnership inquiries: partnerships@thecleanairguide.com.
