Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: December 27, 2024
Our Commitment to Transparency
ProDeal APP LLC (“Pros & Deals,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to maintaining transparency with our users. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we may earn commissions through affiliate partnerships when you interact with certain deals and links on our platform.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 (“Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”), this disclosure informs you that we have financial relationships with some companies mentioned or linked to on this website.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model where we earn a commission when you purchase products or services through links on our platform. These commissions help us maintain and improve our free services while continuing to provide valuable deals to our users.
Important: You do not pay any extra fees or costs when purchasing through our affiliate links. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to the merchant's website. The commission we earn comes from the merchant, not from you.
Amazon Associates Program
ProDeal APP LLC is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and its international variants (including but not limited to Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es, Amazon.com.au).
When you click on links to Amazon products or services featured on our platform and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission from Amazon. This helps support our operations and allows us to continue offering free services to our users.
Amazon Associates Notice: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Other Affiliate Partnerships
In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, we may participate in other affiliate programs and partnerships with various merchants, retailers, and service providers. These partnerships allow us to feature deals and promotions from a wide range of businesses.
When we have an affiliate relationship with a business whose deals or products appear on our platform, we will earn a commission if you complete a qualifying action (such as making a purchase, signing up for a service, or clicking through to their website).
Our Editorial Integrity
While we do earn commissions through affiliate partnerships, our primary goal is to provide valuable and relevant deals to our users. We are committed to maintaining editorial integrity and independence:
- Honest Recommendations: Our recommendations and featured deals are based on merit, value, and relevance to our users, not solely on commission potential.
- Unbiased Presentation: We do not allow affiliate relationships to influence our editorial content, reviews, or ratings.
- User-First Approach: Our business model is built on providing value to users first. If we don't deliver valuable deals, our platform won't succeed regardless of affiliate commissions.
- Clear Identification: Where practical and required, we identify affiliate links and relationships.
- Quality Standards: We carefully vet affiliate partners and monitor deal quality to ensure they meet our standards.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you see a deal on our platform and click through to make a purchase or take action:
- You click on a deal, link, or button on our platform
- You are redirected to the merchant's website (such as Amazon.com)
- A tracking cookie or identifier is placed on your device (subject to your cookie preferences)
- If you complete a qualifying purchase or action within the tracking window (typically 24-90 days), we earn a commission
- You pay the same price as any other customer - affiliate commissions do not increase your cost
Note: If you use ad blockers or cookie-blocking tools, affiliate links may not work properly, but you can still access the deals directly.
User-Generated Content
Our platform allows businesses and users to post deals, listings, and promotions. When businesses publish deals through our platform, they may include:
- Direct links to their own websites or stores
- Affiliate links to third-party marketplaces (such as Amazon)
- Coupon codes or promotional offers
When businesses use affiliate links in their deals, commissions may be earned by the business owner, Pros & Deals, or both, depending on the arrangement. We encourage business owners to comply with FTC guidelines and applicable laws regarding disclosure when posting affiliate links.
Compensation Disclosure
The sources of compensation and support for our platform include:
- Affiliate Commissions: Commissions earned from qualifying purchases through affiliate links
- Business Subscriptions: Subscription fees paid by businesses to access premium features and publish deals
- Advertising: Revenue from Google AdMob and other advertising partners
- Premium Features: Optional paid features and services within our apps
This diversified revenue model helps us remain sustainable while minimizing our reliance on any single income source, which helps preserve our editorial independence.
Your Rights and Choices
You have complete control over your interactions with affiliate links:
- No Obligation: You are never obligated to purchase anything through our affiliate links
- Direct Access: You can always navigate directly to merchants' websites instead of using our links
- Price Comparison: We encourage you to compare prices and options before making any purchase
- Cookie Control: You can manage or disable tracking cookies through your browser or device settings
Our platform exists to help you discover great deals - whether or not we earn a commission from your purchase.
Disclaimers and Limitations
No Guarantees: While we strive to feature quality deals and trustworthy partners, we cannot guarantee:
- Product availability, pricing accuracy, or deal validity
- The quality, safety, or suitability of products or services
- The business practices of affiliate partners or merchants
- That affiliate links will result in commissions (due to tracking issues, returns, etc.)
Not Product Endorsements: The inclusion of affiliate links or deals on our platform does not constitute an endorsement of specific products, services, or companies. We feature deals based on various factors including relevance, value, and user interest.
Third-Party Terms: When you click through to affiliate partners, you are subject to their terms of service, privacy policies, return policies, and other terms. We encourage you to review these policies before making purchases.
