Affiliate Disclosure
Version 1.0. Last changed 01 March 2024
Cybermana will occasionally evaluate or mention products and services.
If we believe a product or service is good, and the merchant selling it provides an affiliate programme, Cybermana has no problem referring others to it via an affiliate link.
Certain items and links to products/services are affiliate links, and any purchases you make may result in a commission for Cybermana.
You will not be charged any additional fees as a result of this. The entire commission comes out of the vendor's pocket - not yours.
These items and services are mentioned because we believe in them and wish to assist you in achieving your goals.
It goes without saying that we’ll never recommend a product simply because it pays us a commission because that would be sleazy, right?
Cybermana only endorses or recommends products or services that we believe will benefit you or that have come highly recommended by trusted peers.
Of course, full disclosure: Making Sense of Cents is a for-profit business, which means we do make money from it.
So that you can easily tell when you're using an affiliate links, we'll put (affiliate link) after it.
But to make things a little bit easier - both of us - assume that any links to products or services are affiliate links and that we will be compensated if you buy something.
Affiliate links are disclosed in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's standards.
If you have any further questions, feel free to mail us on success@cybermana.net
