Affiliate Disclosure
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites to disclose any financial relationships they have with the products or services they recommend. This page explains how Grooming Software HQ ("we," "us," or "our") earns money and what that means for you, the reader.
How We Make Money
Grooming Software HQ participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us maintain the site, continue producing in-depth reviews, and keep our content free for readers.
Which Programs We Participate In
We participate in several affiliate programs, which may include but are not limited to:
- Grooming software companies and their affiliate networks
- Pet insurance providers
- Business tools and SaaS platforms
- Amazon Associates Program
- Other relevant affiliate networks (Impact, ShareASale, CJ, PartnerStack, Rewardful, etc.)
Our Editorial Independence
Earning a commission does not influence our opinions. We commit to the following principles:
- Honesty first. If a product is not a good fit, we say so — regardless of whether it pays a commission.
- No pay-for-praise. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or rankings.
- Real evaluation. Our reviews are based on research, public information, customer feedback, and product testing where possible.
- Transparency. If a product is recommended, it is because we believe it provides genuine value to our audience.
No Additional Cost to You
Clicking on an affiliate link and making a purchase does not increase the price you pay. The commission we receive comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not from your pocket.
Your Choice
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer to purchase a product or service without supporting the site, you are free to navigate directly to the vendor's website. We appreciate when readers choose to support our work, but it is always your choice.
