How affiliate links work here

Clear recommendations. Clear disclosures.

Some links on this site may earn James a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Here’s how those relationships are disclosed.

The essentials

What an affiliate link means for you

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you follow one and make a purchase, James may receive a commission from the provider. You pay no extra for using the link. These links may appear alongside recommendations about software and other resources relevant to James’s work.

A commission does not determine whether a product is right for you. Check the provider’s current prices, features and programme terms before buying; suitability and results are not guaranteed. Reviews will distinguish between products James has personally tested and those he has researched.

You can always make your own choice about what to buy.

How to spot an affiliate relationship

Look near the link

Relevant affiliate relationships are disclosed close to the links they concern, so you can identify them as you explore recommendations.

Read the review context

Reviews indicate whether James personally tested a product or based his assessment on research, giving you context for each recommendation.

Ask if you’re unsure

If a link or disclosure needs clarification, get in touch before making a decision. You can also review how this site handles information.

Check the Details Before You Decide

James Kennedy’s work has spanned software promotion, online communities, children’s books and The Great Explorer Quest. Across those projects, his aim has been to share useful information that helps people make their own decisions. An affiliate link does not mean a product will suit your needs or deliver a particular result. Before buying, check current prices, features and programme terms directly with the provider. For questions, visit /contact/; for information about your data, see /privacy-policy/.
