Affiliate Disclosure

Full transparency on how ValidTool earns revenue and why it never affects our editorial recommendations.

Last updated: January 1, 2026

💰Affiliate Disclosure

ValidTool participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click on links to products or services and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you.

In accordance with the FTC's guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and similar international regulations, ValidTool is required to disclose when we have a financial relationship with a company whose products we feature.

🤝How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a "Get Tool" button or any affiliate link on ValidTool, a tracking cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate network. If you purchase within the cookie window (typically 30–90 days), we receive a commission from the tool vendor.

This process is completely free for you — you pay the same price as you would visiting the tool's website directly. In many cases, affiliate links may give you access to exclusive discounts or extended free trials.

⚖️Our Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content or rankings. Here is our commitment to you:

  • We feature tools based on quality, not commission rates
  • Several tools in our directory pay us zero commission — we still recommend them if they're excellent
  • Our ratings and reviews reflect genuine assessment of each tool's merits
  • We will clearly disclose any sponsored content separately from organic editorial listings
  • We remove tools from our directory if they no longer meet our quality standards, regardless of affiliate relationships

🌍International Compliance

Our disclosure practices comply with:

  • USA: FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255)
  • EU/UK: Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations & EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive
  • Canada: Competition Act guidelines on testimonials and endorsements
  • Australia: ACCC guidelines on affiliate marketing disclosure
