Affiliate Disclosure

What this means

• Some links on AwardedTech.com are affiliate links. If you click them and buy something (or complete a qualifying action), we may receive a commission or referral fee from the merchant.
• Commissions do not affect the price you pay. Merchants set their own prices and any commissions are paid by the merchant, not by you.
• Receiving a commission does not change our editorial approach. Our product testing, ratings and recommendations are made independently and are based on hands-on testing and research.

How we choose products

We aim to recommend items that deliver value and solve real problems for buyers. Our typical process includes:

• hands-on testing in real-world scenarios and lab-style comparisons where relevant;
• comparing specs, performance, and real user feedback;
• prioritising products that represent good value, reliability, and suitability for likely use cases.

If a product was provided to us free of charge for testing, or if a manufacturer supported the test, we will disclose that connection clearly in the review.

Sponsored content and advertising

• Some content on AwardedTech.com may be sponsored or created in partnership with brands. Sponsored posts are clearly labelled as such.
• Display ads on the site are separate from our editorial reviews. Ad placements do not influence our testing or recommendations.

Accuracy of information

We strive to keep product information, prices and links accurate, but things can change quickly (stock, availability, model revisions). Always double-check product pages and merchant terms before buying. If you notice an error, please let us know and we'll correct it.

Why do you see affiliate links?

Affiliate partnerships let us:

• fund independent testing and quality content;
• run the site and tools you use (image hosting, testing gear, servers);
• keep much of the content free for readers.

Using our links is optional — if you prefer, you can visit a retailer directly. If you do use our links, thank you — it helps us keep doing this work.

Transparency & independence

We believe transparency builds trust. To that end:

• We disclose when a product was provided for review, or when a review is sponsored.
• Our reviewers and editors are independent; they are not paid by brands to write favourable reviews.
• Editorial control remains with AwardedTech.com's editorial team.
