Advertising Disclosure

How this site will handle referral links, stated before any exist.

Gear Warrior has not bound any referral partner yet. This page states the policy now, before the first one exists, so the commitment is on the record rather than written to fit whatever deal comes along.

The policy

When a referral link exists on a page, it will be disclosed on that page — not only in a general statement here, and not buried where a reader would have to go looking for it. A retailer record will carry its disclosure whether or not a partnership with that retailer exists yet, so the presence or absence of a link is never itself a signal of who paid for what.

Never gated

No fact, comparison, or recommendation on this site will ever sit behind a partnership. A vendor or retailer with no referral relationship at all will be covered exactly as thoroughly as one with one, and a page's placement or depth will never depend on whether a link on it earns anything.

Evidence is never a referral link

Every fact this site publishes will cite its source with a plain link to that source — a manufacturer's page, a filing, a press release. Those citation links are never referral links, and a referral link is never used as a source citation. The two stay visually and structurally separate wherever both appear on a page.

Today's partners

None. Zero referral relationships are bound as of this page's publication. Binding a partner is a separate, owner-approved decision, and this page will be updated the day the first one is added.
