Affiliate Disclosure

At ProtectiveGearz, we are dedicated to providing our readers with transparent and trustworthy information. As part of this commitment, we believe it’s important to be clear about how we monetize our content and what this means for you, the reader.

Our website participates in various affiliate marketing programs, primarily through RevZilla and Amazon USA. These programs allow us to earn commissions when you click on certain links to these retailers and make a purchase. It is important to note that these commissions come at no extra cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you purchase through our affiliate link or directly from the retailer’s website.

We incorporate these affiliate links throughout the website, typically in our product reviews, recommendations, and other resource pages. The affiliate commissions we earn help support the operation of ProtectiveGearz, including research, testing, and publishing high-quality content that serves our community of motorcycle enthusiasts.

FTC Compliance

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on affiliate marketing and endorsements, we strive for complete transparency in our affiliate relationships. This means we disclose all affiliate links and the potential to earn commissions whenever applicable. You can learn more about these guidelines on the FTC’s official website.

Affiliate Disclaimer Placement

In addition to this page, you will also find a clear affiliate disclaimer at the beginning of articles, reviews, or any content that contains affiliate links. This ensures you’re always informed about the presence of affiliate relationships while reading our content.

Commitment to Honest Reviews

Despite receiving commissions from affiliate links, we remain fully committed to providing honest, unbiased opinions on the gear we review and recommend. Our goal is to help you find the best motorcycle gear that meets your needs in terms of safety, comfort, and performance. The products we feature on ProtectiveGearz are selected based on merit, not based on commission potential. We evaluate each item based on factors such as durability, safety standards, and overall value.

Non-Affiliate Content

Not all content on ProtectiveGearz contains affiliate links. Some articles, reviews, and recommendations are purely informational and serve our mission of providing valuable resources for motorcycle enthusiasts without any monetization. We remain committed to ensuring that our content serves your best interests, regardless of whether or not it contains affiliate links.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on an affiliate link on our website, a tracking code is embedded in the link that lets the retailer know you came from ProtectiveGearz. If you decide to make a purchase, we will earn a small commission from that sale. This process is entirely transparent and secure, and you do not need to take any additional steps. You are not obligated to use our affiliate links, but doing so helps support our site and allows us to continue providing helpful resources for riders like you.

Affiliate Partnerships Beyond RevZilla and Amazon

While we primarily work with RevZilla and Amazon USA, we may partner with additional retailers in the future. Any affiliate relationships will always be disclosed, and our commitment to honest reviews will remain unchanged. Please note that our affiliate relationships may evolve over time. As we expand and partner with new retailers, this disclosure will be updated accordingly to reflect any changes in our affiliate partnerships.

Tracking Technologies

Some affiliate links may use cookies or other tracking technologies to help retailers attribute the purchase back to our website. These tracking technologies do not collect personal information from you, and they only track product purchases. For more details on cookies and tracking, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

Data Privacy in Affiliate Links

ProtectiveGearz does not collect personal data through affiliate links, and we do not share any personally identifiable information with our affiliate partners. The tracking data used by affiliate programs is strictly related to the performance of the links and does not compromise your privacy.

Reader Feedback Invitation

We encourage our readers to reach out with any questions or concerns they have regarding our affiliate links or the products we recommend. Your feedback helps us ensure we continue to provide valuable, trustworthy content. Feel free to contact us at [insert your contact email] if you have any concerns.

Sponsored Content

Occasionally, ProtectiveGearz may feature sponsored content or partnerships with brands that align with our mission. In such cases, we will clearly disclose any sponsorship or partnership at the beginning of the article, ensuring you are fully informed. Sponsored content differs from affiliate links, as it involves direct compensation from companies to feature or review products. In contrast, affiliate links generate a commission when you make a purchase, with no direct payment from the companies.

Product Availability and Changes

Please note that product prices and availability are subject to change on affiliate retailer websites. We do our best to keep our content up-to-date, but we cannot guarantee that the gear we recommend will always be in stock or available at the same price as when we reviewed it.

International Readers

Our affiliate links are primarily designed for users in the U.S. market. Availability of products, prices, and shipping options may vary for international users, and certain affiliate links may not work outside the United States.

Affiliate Earnings Clarification

The affiliate commissions we earn help maintain the website and allow us to continue producing in-depth reviews, testing gear, and providing you with valuable motorcycle-related content. Your support through these purchases enables us to offer free resources to the riding community.

Final Thoughts

We take our responsibility to our readers seriously and strive to ensure that our content is as accurate and helpful as possible. By using our affiliate links, you are supporting ProtectiveGearz and enabling us to continue our mission of providing reliable, expert guidance for American motorcycle riders.
