Commercial transparency

How affiliate links support Letomix

Some links on Letomix may be affiliate links. If a reader makes a qualifying purchase, the project may receive a commission. That does not give an advertiser the right to buy a ranking, a positive conclusion, or silence about important drawbacks.

How it works

What an affiliate link is

It is a regular link with a technical identifier that helps a service understand where a visitor came from.

A reader visits the service

The link may contain a Letomix identifier or use another attribution method.

The service records a qualifying action

This may be a purchase, subscription, registration or another action defined by that program.

Letomix may receive a commission

The program sets the amount and conditions. The reader's price usually remains the same.

An affiliate link is a funding method, not a quality badge.

Its presence does not create an automatic recommendation. A product without an affiliate program may still be included when it is useful for the reader's task.

Editorial independence

What a commission can support — and what it cannot buy

Commercial revenue can help pay for the site. It should not rewrite the outcome of an evaluation.

Letomix rules

How we handle commercial relationships

These principles apply to reviews, comparisons, guides, roundups and deal pages.

Disclosure

We identify affiliate links

A clear notice should appear near the beginning of the content, not only in the footer or on this policy page.

Criteria

We evaluate the reader's task

Commission value is not a quality criterion. Conclusions should reflect features, limits, price and practical usefulness.

Alternatives

We include free options

If a free tool or non-affiliate service solves the task better, it may be recommended instead of a paid product.

Drawbacks

We do not remove important criticism

Material limitations, risks and failed use cases should remain visible regardless of commercial relationships.

Where disclosure appears

How readers should be notified

This policy explains the rules in detail, but each page containing affiliate links should provide its own notice.

Near the beginning

A brief notice appears before affiliate links or near the first commercial block.

In plain language

The wording should explain the possible commission without legal fog or ambiguity.

Without hidden conditions

A link should not be disguised in a way that prevents readers from understanding its commercial nature.

With access to this policy

Where useful, the notice may link here for a fuller explanation of the rules.

Prices, discounts and terms

Why final details should be checked with the seller

Plans, coupon codes, currencies, taxes, regions and refund terms can change faster than a review is updated.

Prices can change

A price shown on Letomix reflects the time of checking, while the checkout page shows the final amount.

Discounts may have restrictions

A coupon may apply only to new customers, a certain plan, region or limited period.

Official terms take priority

Before buying, check the plan, renewal, refund, tax and other conditions on the seller's website.

Important: Letomix does not control the prices, payments, refunds or availability of third-party services. Order questions must be handled with the seller.

Advertising and affiliate links are not the same

Advertising is commonly paid for impressions or clicks and may be served by an ad platform. Affiliate compensation is tied to a qualifying action after a referral. In either case, the commercial format should not determine the editorial conclusion.

Questions and corrections

Transparency matters only when it is easy to verify

If an affiliate link appears unmarked, terms have changed, or a commercial relationship may have affected an article, tell us. We will review the page and make a correction when needed.
