1. Amazon Associates Program
Trou (trou.org) 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 and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
This means that many of the product links on Trou — including “Check Price on Amazon” buttons, product images and text links — are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and make a purchase on Amazon, Amazon may pay us a small referral fee. Amazon may also place a cookie on your browser to attribute the purchase to us; see our Privacy Policy for more on cookies.
2. Other affiliate relationships
From time to time we may also participate in other affiliate programs or work with other retailers. Where that’s the case, the same principles described on this page apply: links may earn us a commission, and that never changes the price you pay.
3. What this means for you
- You never pay more. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go to the retailer directly.
- You’re never obligated to buy. Our reviews are free to read whether or not you click a link.
- You support independent reviews. Commissions fund research, hosting and the time it takes to write honest, detailed reviews.
4. Our editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence our opinions. We choose which products to review based on what we believe readers will find useful, and our verdicts — including the pros and cons — are our own. Brands and retailers do not review, edit or approve our content before it’s published, and we do not accept payment in exchange for positive coverage. If a product is ever provided to us free of charge or a post is sponsored, we will say so clearly in that post.
5. FTC disclosure
In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose any material connection we have with the brands and retailers we link to. Every post that contains affiliate links displays a disclosure notice at the top of the article, and this page explains that relationship in full. Equivalent disclosure obligations in the UK (ASA/CAP Code), EU and other jurisdictions are honored in the same way.
6. Prices, availability and product information
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date and time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product. We do our best to keep specifications, features and pricing up to date, but manufacturers and retailers change details frequently, so please confirm all information on the retailer’s site before buying.
7. No warranties
The content on Trou is provided for general informational purposes only. While we aim for accuracy, we make no representations or warranties of any kind about the completeness, reliability or suitability of the information or products described. Any purchase you make is a transaction between you and the retailer, and the retailer’s terms, warranties and return policies apply. Trou is not responsible for product defects, shipping, returns or customer service issues.
8. Trademarks
Amazon, Amazon.com, Prime and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. All other product names, logos and brands mentioned on Trou are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only. Their use does not imply endorsement.
