Some ZVM Labs materials may in the future include affiliate or referral links. If a reader follows such a link and makes a purchase or registration, ZVM Labs may receive a commission, credit, or other compensation at no extra cost to the reader.

As of the last update, the site does not use hidden affiliate links. If affiliate links appear, they should be disclosed near the relevant link or material.

Principles

  • the material connection should be clear before a reader treats a recommendation as independent;
  • affiliate compensation should not change the technical conclusion;
  • materials should separate experience, facts, assumptions, and limits;
  • unsuitable or risky products are not recommended only because a commission exists;
  • disclosure should be simple: Affiliate link or an equivalent visible label.
