Advertising Disclosure
Transparency about our advertising relationships and partnerships
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Arcade Experts, we believe in maintaining the highest standards of transparency and integrity in all our business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure outlines our approach to advertising, sponsored content, and affiliate partnerships.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased consulting services and information. When we have financial relationships with third parties, we disclose them clearly to ensure you can make informed decisions about our recommendations and services.
This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, ensuring transparency in our business practices.
Affiliate Relationships
Disclosure of Affiliate Programs
Arcade Experts may participate in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when we recommend certain products, services, or tools that could benefit arcade businesses, we may earn a commission if you choose to purchase through our affiliate links.
These affiliate relationships exist with providers of arcade equipment, software solutions, payment processing services, and other business tools relevant to the arcade industry. We only enter into affiliate partnerships with companies whose products we genuinely believe can benefit our clients.
Commission-Based Link Explanations
When you click on certain links on our website or in our communications, we may receive a commission if you make a purchase. These are known as affiliate links. The commission we earn helps support our business operations and allows us to continue providing valuable consulting services and resources.
Important to note: using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider. The commission is paid by the vendor as a referral fee.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product and service recommendations are based on professional expertise, industry experience, and genuine assessment of value to arcade businesses. We evaluate products and services on their own merits, considering factors such as:
- Quality and reliability of the product or service
- Relevance to arcade business operations
- Cost-effectiveness and return on investment
- Customer support and vendor reputation
- Compatibility with typical arcade business needs
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain clear boundaries between our consulting advice and any financial incentives we may receive. When providing recommendations during consulting engagements, we disclose any financial relationships that might influence our suggestions. Our primary commitment is to your business success, and we will never compromise the quality of our advice for affiliate commissions.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Paid Content
On occasion, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website or through our communications. All sponsored content is clearly identified with labels such as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Paid Partnership," or similar designations. This ensures you can easily distinguish between our editorial content and paid promotions.
Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
We adhere to strict labeling standards for sponsored content:
- Sponsored posts are prominently labeled at the beginning of the content
- Visual indicators distinguish sponsored content from regular articles
- The sponsoring company or brand is clearly identified
- Editorial opinions in sponsored content reflect our genuine assessment
- We maintain editorial control over sponsored content quality and accuracy
Brand Partnership Disclosures
Arcade Experts may form partnerships with brands and service providers in the arcade industry. These partnerships may involve co-created content, joint webinars, case studies, or other collaborative initiatives. All brand partnerships are disclosed when relevant to the content being presented, ensuring transparency about any commercial relationships that might influence our messaging.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Regardless of sponsorship or financial arrangements, all content published by Arcade Experts maintains our standards for accuracy, professionalism, and usefulness. We do not compromise editorial integrity for commercial relationships. If we recommend a product or service in sponsored content, it is because we believe it genuinely offers value to arcade businesses, not solely because of financial compensation.
