Affiliate disclosure
There are currently no affiliate links on this site. This page states the rules that would apply if there ever are.
Current position
Il Sartoriale carries no affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no paid listings. No maker, brand, mill or retailer has paid to appear here or to influence how it is described.
If that changes
Should the site introduce affiliate arrangements, all of the following will apply, without exception:
- Any affiliate link will be disclosed clearly and close to the link itself, not only in a footer, in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and comparable rules elsewhere.
- A commercial relationship will never determine which makers are covered, where they appear in a list, or how they are assessed. Coverage decisions are made before any commercial question is considered, and the structured database that feeds the comparison and filter tools will contain no commercial field at all.
- Sponsored content, if it exists, will be labelled in the body of the page and excluded from every ranked list, comparison table and filter result.
- A link will never be presented as a recommendation. The site does not tell readers what to buy.
Why say this now
Because a disclosure written after the money arrives is worth less than one written before it. This page exists so the standard is on record and can be held against us.
