3. How Affiliate Links Work
Affiliate links typically contain tracking information that allows a merchant, affiliate network, or other provider to determine that you arrived at its website through Home Service Owner.
For example, if you read a review of a software platform on HomeServiceOwner.com and click a link to that software provider, the provider or affiliate network may record Home Service Owner as the referring website.
If you subsequently complete a qualifying action, we may receive compensation.
Tracking may involve:
- Cookies;
- Tracking parameters;
- Referral codes;
- Pixels;
- Unique URLs;
- Device or browser identifiers; or
- Other attribution technologies.
The collection and use of information by third-party affiliate providers are governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.
For additional information regarding our own privacy practices, please review our Privacy Policy.
4. No Additional Cost to You in Most Cases
In many affiliate relationships, using one of our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay.
We may receive compensation from the merchant or service provider for referring you.
However, we cannot guarantee that an affiliate offer represents the lowest available price.
Prices, discounts, promotions, and terms may differ depending on:
- The provider;
- The promotion;
- Your location;
- Your account status;
- When you purchase;
- How you access the provider;
- Negotiated pricing; or
- Other factors.
You should evaluate pricing and terms before purchasing a product or service.
5. Affiliate Compensation
Affiliate compensation may vary significantly between companies, products, services, and programs.
Some companies may pay Home Service Owner more than others for a qualifying referral or transaction.
Some affiliate relationships may provide one-time compensation, while others may provide recurring compensation for as long as a referred customer remains subscribed to a service.
We may also receive bonuses or increased commission rates for reaching certain performance thresholds.
The existence or amount of an affiliate commission may influence our commercial relationship with a provider and, in some circumstances, may influence which products or offers are featured or where they appear on the Website.
For that reason, you should not interpret the order, placement, or prominence of products on the Website as an objective ranking unless we specifically state the methodology used for that ranking.
6. Editorial Independence
Although Home Service Owner may receive compensation from companies discussed on the Website, we strive to provide useful information to our readers.
Compensation does not guarantee a positive review, recommendation, rating, or editorial conclusion.
When we express opinions about a product, service, company, or strategy, those opinions are intended to reflect our assessment based on the information, experience, research, or criteria available to us at the time.
However, affiliate relationships create a financial interest that readers should consider when evaluating our content.
We encourage you to conduct your own research before purchasing or subscribing to any product or service.
7. Reviews
Home Service Owner may publish reviews of software, services, tools, companies, products, and other business resources.
A company reviewed on the Website may be:
- An affiliate partner;
- An advertiser;
- A sponsor;
- A referral partner;
- A company from which we receive another form of compensation; or
- A company with which we have no financial relationship.
Receiving compensation does not necessarily mean a product or service will receive a favorable review.
Reviews reflect opinions and information available at the time they are created or updated.
Products and services can change over time, and your experience may differ from ours or from the experiences described on the Website.
