Affiliate Disclosure

1. What This Disclosure Covers

This Affiliate Disclosure applies to:

• The SoftGlaze website
• Blog and insight content
• Resource pages
• Service pages
• Recommendation-based content
• Email communications
• Downloadable materials
• Digital publications
• Social posts where relevant
• Any other content or communication in which SoftGlaze may reference products, services, platforms, software, tools, or business partners

Where affiliate links or compensated recommendations are used, this disclosure explains the nature of that relationship at a general level.

2. What Affiliate Relationships Mean

An affiliate relationship generally means that SoftGlaze may earn a commission, referral fee, credit, revenue share, or other form of compensation if a user:

• Clicks an affiliate link
• Signs up for a third-party service
• Makes a purchase
• Requests a service
• Installs a product
• Completes another qualifying action defined by the affiliate or partner programme

This compensation may come at no additional cost to the user, although the underlying commercial relationship still exists and should be understood.

3. How SoftGlaze Approaches Affiliate Transparency

SoftGlaze does not believe affiliate or referral relationships should be concealed behind vague wording or buried in inaccessible legal language.

Where applicable, we aim to make it reasonably clear that:

• Certain links may be affiliate links
• Certain references may be commercially connected
• Certain recommendations may involve compensation
• Certain partnerships may create a financial benefit for SoftGlaze

We believe this is part of responsible digital communication.

4. Editorial and Commercial Independence

Where SoftGlaze references or recommends products, platforms, tools, services, or providers, we aim to do so with professional judgment rather than purely because compensation is available.

That means:

• Not every link is an affiliate link
• Not every mention is paid
• The existence of a commercial relationship does not automatically mean a recommendation is made without evaluation

However, users should assume that where links, referrals, or partner mentions exist, there may be a commercial relationship unless stated otherwise.

5. No Guarantee or Endorsement Warranty

Even where SoftGlaze recommends or links to a third-party platform, software provider, service, or business, SoftGlaze does not guarantee:

• The quality of that third-party offering
• Uninterrupted service
• Future pricing
• Suitability for your specific use case
• Legal or regulatory compliance in your jurisdiction
• Any specific result from using that product or service

Any decision to engage with a third party should be made with your own judgment and, where appropriate, your own due diligence.

SoftGlaze may receive compensation from certain third parties, but this does not replace the need for users to evaluate whether a recommendation is right for them.

6. Third-Party Terms and Policies

If you click a link to a third-party platform, product, or service, your relationship with that third party will be governed by their:

• Terms and conditions
• Privacy policy
• Pricing
• Refund policy
• Affiliate terms
• Other applicable contractual rules

SoftGlaze is not responsible for the conduct, policies, offerings, or changes made by third-party companies.

7. Types of Compensation We May Receive

SoftGlaze may, where applicable, receive one or more of the following forms of compensation:

• Affiliate commission
• Referral fee
• Lead fee
• Revenue share
• Platform credit
• Discounted access
• Free product access
• Reciprocal promotional consideration
• Sponsored placement or commercial partnership compensation

Not every commercial relationship takes the same form, but where the relationship is material, we aim to disclose it appropriately.

8. How We May Disclose on Specific Pages or Content

In addition to this general Affiliate Disclosure, SoftGlaze may also use shorter disclosures such as:

• This page may contain affiliate links
• We may earn a commission if you purchase through certain links
• This recommendation may involve a commercial relationship
• Sponsored or Partner Content, where appropriate

Such short-form disclosures are intended to complement, not replace, this full page.

9. User Responsibility

Users remain responsible for evaluating whether a third-party product, tool, platform, service, or offer is suitable for their own needs.

Before purchasing or signing up for anything promoted, recommended, or linked by SoftGlaze, you should consider:

• Your business needs
• Pricing
• Functionality
• Compatibility
• Legal implications
• Refund rights
• Data privacy implications
• Any relevant independent advice

SoftGlaze provides information and may participate in commercial relationships, but final decision-making remains with the user.

10. No Professional Advice

Any references to third-party tools, platforms, software, services, products, or partner opportunities do not constitute legal, financial, tax, investment, or regulated professional advice.

Where a decision involves legal, regulatory, financial, or industry-specific risk, you should seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.

11. Changes to This Affiliate Disclosure

SoftGlaze may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time to reflect:

• Changes in affiliate relationships
• Changes in partner structures
• Legal or regulatory requirements
• Changes in content strategy
• Broader changes in commercial disclosure practices

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date or last updated date.
