Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At ClimbCollab, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This page explains how we earn money and how it affects (or doesn't affect) our content.

Amazon Associates Program

ClimbCollab 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 affiliated sites (including Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.es, and Amazon.it).

This means that when you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

How Affiliate Links Work

• When you click a "Buy on Amazon" button or product link, you're taken to Amazon's website.
• If you make a purchase, Amazon pays us a small percentage (typically 1-10%) of the sale price.
• This commission comes from Amazon's margin, not from your pocket.
• You pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is not influenced by our affiliate partnerships. We follow these principles:

• Honest Reviews: We provide genuine opinions based on research, testing, and community feedback.
• No Pay-for-Play: We do not accept payment to feature or positively review products.
• Best for You: We recommend products we believe are genuinely good, not just those with higher commissions.
• Disclosure First: We always disclose our affiliate relationship prominently.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running ClimbCollab takes time and resources. Affiliate commissions help us:

• Keep the site free for all users
• Maintain and improve our content
• Research and review new gear
• Support our community features
• Avoid intrusive advertising

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can:

• Search for products directly on Amazon
• Purchase from other retailers
• Use ad-blocking extensions (though we hope you won't need to!)

However, if you find our content helpful and want to support us at no extra cost, using our links is a great way to do so.
