Thank you for trusting Chucklings as your guide to the gear and apparel that athletes, artists, and other public figures rely on. Transparency is vital to us, so this Affiliate Policy explains how we earn revenue through partner links, how those relationships work, and what they mean for you.
1. How Affiliate Links Work
- Throughout our articles you will find outbound links to online retailers (e.g., Amazon, Nike, Backcountry, and others).
- When you click one of these links and purchase a product within a specified time window, Chucklings may earn a small commission from that retailer at no additional cost to you.
- Cookies or similar tracking technologies are used solely to credit our Site for any resulting sale.
2. Programs We Participate In
Chucklings is a member of several affiliate networks, including but not limited to:
| Network | Example Retailers |
|---|---|
| Amazon Associates | Amazon.com and Amazon Marketplace sellers |
| Rakuten Advertising | Adidas, Foot Locker, Dick’s Sporting Goods |
| CJ Affiliate | Nike, Fanatics, Golf Galaxy |
| Impact Radius | Under Armour, Reebok, G-Shock |
Participation in these programs allows us to recommend products while keeping the Site free to read.
3. Editorial Integrity
- Independence. All product recommendations are researched, fact-checked, and written by our editorial team without input from brands or retailers.
- Selection Criteria. We choose gear based on verifiable sightings (race photos, interviews, sponsorship disclosures) and performance data—not on commission size.
- No Pay-to-Play. Brands cannot buy guaranteed coverage or favorable reviews. Sponsored posts are labeled clearly as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement.”
4. FTC & Global Compliance
We follow the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides and similar disclosure rules worldwide. Whenever a link may generate revenue for us, we:
- Place a clear disclosure at the top or within the immediate vicinity of the content (“This page contains affiliate links; we may earn a commission if you buy through our links.”).
- Use conspicuous labeling (“Buy on Amazon”) to signal a commercial relationship.
5. Advertising & Sponsored Content
- Aside from affiliate links, we may occasionally publish sponsored posts or display banner ads.
- Sponsored posts are created in collaboration with a partner brand and are always identified as such.
- Paid advertisements do not influence our editorial rankings or reviews.
6. Your Choices & Control
- You are never required to click an affiliate link to access Chucklings content.
- If you prefer, you may visit the retailer directly by typing its URL into your browser instead of clicking our link.
- Modern browsers allow you to disable or clear cookies at any time (see your browser’s help section).
7. Limitation of Responsibility
Product prices, availability, and specifications can change without notice. While we strive to keep information current, retailers reserve the right to alter deals or discontinue items, and Chucklings cannot be held liable for discrepancies.
8. Questions or Concerns?
We welcome your feedback. If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or believe a disclosure is missing or unclear, please contact us.
