Affiliate disclosure

How affiliate links will work on Fixed Filament, and the disclosure shown on guides that use them.

Fixed Filament is not enrolled in an affiliate program yet. No published guide claims a commission relationship that does not exist. The sentence below is the one disclosure. Guides marked as containing affiliate links show it near the top, above the article body.

The disclosure sentence

That sentence lives in the site configuration. Changing it updates this page and every affiliate guide. It is not written separately into each article.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link sends a visitor to a shop. If the visitor buys something, the shop may pay this site a commission. The shop sets the price. A commission does not add a fee at checkout.

How links are marked

Affiliate links use rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" and open in a new tab. Ordinary links do not use that rel. One shared link component applies the attributes. In a Markdown guide, a link whose title is affiliate gets the same treatment. Details are in the README.

What this site will not do

• It will not say a product was installed, printed, or tested here unless a guide describes what actually happened.
• It will not publish star ratings or ranked “best of” lists that have no method written down in the guide.
• It will not hide this disclosure at the bottom of a guide that uses affiliate links.

Programs

Fixed Filament is not an Amazon Associate and is not a member of any other affiliate network. When that changes, the disclosure sentence will be updated, including any wording a program requires. The Federal Trade Commission’sEndorsement Guides: What People Are Askingare the public reference for why a material connection has to be stated clearly.
