Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is our policy. This disclosure outlines our affiliate relationships and how they impact your experience on NookTool.
Our Affiliate Relationships
NookTool 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 click on product links on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
How This Affects Our Content
🧪 Testing First, Affiliate Second
We research and evaluate products based on their suitability for small kitchens before considering affiliate availability. Our testing criteria never change based on commission potential.
🎯 Honest Recommendations
We recommend products we genuinely believe will help small-space dwellers. If a product has flaws relevant to apartment living, we clearly disclose them—even if it means lower commissions.
💰 No Price Impact
Amazon prices are the same whether you use our links or go directly to Amazon. Commissions come from Amazon’s marketing budget, not from price increases.
🔄 Regular Updates
We regularly review and update our recommendations. Products that are discontinued or no longer represent good value are removed, regardless of commission history.
What We Never Do
- ❌ Never accept payment for reviews: We do not accept money or free products in exchange for positive reviews.
- ❌ Never promote poor products for commissions: If we wouldn’t recommend it to a friend in a small apartment, we won’t recommend it to you.
- ❌ Never hide affiliate relationships: Every product page clearly indicates affiliate links.
- ❌ Never guarantee rankings: Product placement in lists is based on our testing, not commission rates.
Our Commitment to You
The small commissions we earn through affiliate links:
- Support our research: Covering tools, testing equipment, and website costs
- Allow us to remain independent: We don’t run intrusive ads or sponsored content
- Enable more testing: The more we earn, the more products we can evaluate
- Keep the site running: Hosting, security, and maintenance costs
Transparency in Action
You’ll find these indicators throughout our site:
Clear disclosure notice on every product review page
“Price as of [date]” notes to indicate pricing may change
Clear labeling of Amazon links: “Check price on Amazon”
Your Trust Matters Most
We built NookTool to solve a genuine problem—helping small-space dwellers avoid costly mistakes. That mission remains our priority, regardless of affiliate relationships.
