Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: February 14, 2025

Affiliate Disclosure Statement

Kewrate participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on product links in wishlists and make purchases from our retail partners. This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: 'Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.'

We want to be completely transparent about how Kewrate generates revenue and how affiliate relationships work on our platform.

What Are Affiliate Programs?

Affiliate programs are partnerships between Kewrate and retailers that allow us to earn a small commission when users make purchases through links on our platform. These commissions come at no additional cost to you - you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's website.

When you click on a product link in a wishlist and make a purchase, the retailer may pay Kewrate a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee. This is how we're able to keep Kewrate free for all users while continuing to develop and improve the platform.

Our Affiliate Partners

Kewrate currently participates in the following affiliate programs:

Amazon Associates

Kewrate is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you purchase products through Amazon links in wishlists, we may earn a commission from Amazon.

ShareASale

Kewrate participates in the ShareASale affiliate network, which connects us with hundreds of retailers across various categories. When you purchase products from ShareASale partner retailers through links in wishlists, we may earn a commission.

CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)

Kewrate is a member of the CJ Affiliate network, which provides access to affiliate programs from major brands and retailers. When you make purchases through CJ Affiliate partner links, we may earn a commission.

Other Affiliate Programs

We may participate in additional affiliate programs with individual retailers and affiliate networks. This list will be updated as we add new partnerships.

How Affiliate Links Work on Kewrate

When users create wishlists on Kewrate, they can add products from various retailers by including product links. If the retailer is one of our affiliate partners, we may convert these links to affiliate links that allow us to earn commissions.

Here's how the process works:

1. A user adds a product link to their wishlist

2. If the retailer is an affiliate partner, Kewrate may convert the link to an affiliate link

3. When someone clicks the link and makes a purchase, Kewrate may earn a small commission

4. The purchaser pays the same price they would pay going directly to the retailer

This system allows us to generate revenue while providing value to users through our social shopping platform.

No Additional Cost to You

It's important to understand that affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay for products. Retailers set their prices, and those prices are the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer's website.

The commission we earn comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket. Retailers are willing to pay these commissions because affiliate programs are a cost-effective way for them to reach customers.

Our Commitment to Editorial Independence

Kewrate does not allow affiliate relationships to influence which products are displayed, recommended, or featured on our platform. Product links in wishlists are added by users, not by Kewrate.

We do not:

• Promote specific products because they offer higher commissions

• Hide or remove products from retailers that don't have affiliate programs

• Manipulate search results or recommendations based on affiliate relationships

• Require users to purchase from affiliate partners

Our goal is to provide a useful social shopping platform, and affiliate commissions are simply one way we fund that mission. User experience and functionality always come first.

Your Choice

Using Kewrate and clicking on product links is entirely voluntary. You are never required to make purchases through our platform, and you're always free to search for products independently.

If you prefer not to support Kewrate through affiliate commissions, you can:

• Copy product names and search for them directly on retailer websites

• Use wishlists for coordination only and make purchases independently

• Disable affiliate link conversion in your account settings (if available)

We respect your choice and appreciate your support in whatever form it takes.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe in being completely transparent about how Kewrate generates revenue. Affiliate commissions are one of the primary ways we fund the development and operation of our platform.

We will always disclose our affiliate relationships and will never hide the fact that we may earn commissions from your purchases. This disclosure page, along with mentions in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, ensures you're fully informed.

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how they work, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're happy to provide additional information.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that we disclose any material connection between Kewrate and retailers when we may earn commissions from purchases.

We take these requirements seriously and are committed to maintaining transparency with our users. If you believe we have failed to properly disclose an affiliate relationship, please contact us immediately so we can address the issue.

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time as we add new affiliate partnerships or change our practices. We will update the 'Last Updated' date at the top of this page when changes are made.
