Affiliate Disclosure

Overview

Giftlyst is committed to transparency about how we operate and earn revenue. This page discloses our affiliate relationships and explains how we may earn commissions when you make purchases through links on our website.

Amazon Associates Program

What This Means

When you click on product links on Giftlyst and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission helps us maintain and improve our platform while providing you with free gift discovery and list management services.

How It Works

• Product links on Giftlyst include affiliate tracking codes
• When you click a link, you're redirected to Amazon with our tracking information
• If you make a qualifying purchase within the session, we earn a percentage
• You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon
• Commissions vary by product category, typically 1-10% of the purchase price

Other Affiliate Relationships

In addition to Amazon, we may participate in other affiliate programs with various retailers and service providers. These relationships are disclosed when relevant and operate similarly to the Amazon Associates Program.

Potential Partners

We may have affiliate relationships with:

• Online retailers and marketplaces
• Gift and specialty stores
• Subscription box services
• Experience and ticket providers
• Digital product platforms

Our Commitment to You

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, recommendations, or gift curation. We recommend products and create gift lists based on:

• Product quality and customer reviews
• Relevance to our users' needs
• Value for money
• Popularity and demand
• Personal testing and research

Honest Recommendations

We only recommend products we believe will provide value to our users. Our goal is to help you find perfect gifts, not to maximize commission earnings. If a product doesn't meet our quality standards, we won't feature it—regardless of potential commission rates.

Transparency

We clearly mark affiliate links and disclose our relationships. When you see links on Giftlyst, you can assume they may be affiliate links unless otherwise stated.

How Affiliate Revenue Supports Giftlyst

The commissions we earn help us provide free services to users, including:

• Maintaining and hosting our platform
• Curating and updating gift collections
• Creating helpful content and gift guides
• Developing new features and improvements
• Providing customer support
• Keeping the platform ad-free

Price and Availability

No Price Markup

Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. You'll always pay the same price on Amazon (or other retailers) whether you use our link or navigate to their site directly. The commission comes from the retailer's advertising budget, not from your purchase price.

Price Changes

Prices and availability displayed on Giftlyst are obtained from Amazon's Product Advertising API and may not always reflect real-time information. Actual prices and availability are determined by Amazon at the time of purchase. We are not responsible for pricing errors or discrepancies.

Product Information and Liability

Third-Party Products

Giftlyst does not manufacture, sell, or ship products. We provide links to products sold by third-party retailers. All product information, including descriptions, images, and specifications, is provided by the retailers or manufacturers.

No Warranties

We make no warranties or guarantees about:

• Product quality or suitability
• Product availability
• Accuracy of product descriptions
• Delivery times or shipping costs
• Return policies or customer service

Retailer Responsibility

All transactions, customer service, returns, and warranties are handled directly by the retailer (Amazon or others). Please review their terms of service, return policies, and customer service options before making purchases.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) requirements for affiliate relationships and endorsements. The FTC requires websites to disclose material connections between endorsers and advertisers.

User-Generated Content

Users who create gift lists and share product recommendations on Giftlyst are not compensated for their contributions. Only Giftlyst may earn commissions from affiliate links, not individual users who create lists.

Updates to This Disclosure

We may update this affiliate disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our affiliate relationships or practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent changes were made.
