📎 Affiliate Disclosure

Summary in plain English: Some links on this website earn us a commission when you click them and make a purchase. This costs you nothing extra. We only recommend products we have genuinely researched and believe are worthwhile. Full details below.

Amazon Associates Program

Body Part Archive (bodypartarchive.com) 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.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that if you click on a link to an Amazon product on this website and subsequently make a qualifying purchase, Body Part Archive may receive a small commission. This commission is paid by Amazon and does not increase the price you pay for any product.

Etsy Affiliate Programme

Body Part Archive also participates in the Etsy Affiliate Programme. Links to Etsy products and shops may also result in a commission being earned when a qualifying purchase is made. As with Amazon, this commission is paid by Etsy and has no effect on the price you pay.

Other Affiliate Relationships

From time to time, Body Part Archive may participate in additional affiliate programmes not listed above. Whenever an affiliate relationship exists for a linked product or service, we will clearly indicate this with the notation "(affiliate link)" or with "Affiliate link" disclosures adjacent to the link. All affiliate links may also be identified by the ↗ symbol and by the phrase "sponsored" in the link's rel attribute.

Our Editorial Independence

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial recommendations. We never recommend a product solely because it carries a higher commission rate, nor do we exclude products because no affiliate relationship exists. Our recommendations are based solely on our assessment of each product's quality, relevance, and value to our readers.

We only recommend products that we have researched and believe are genuinely beneficial to the Body Part Archive community. If we would not recommend a product to a close friend or colleague, we will not recommend it on this site.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or the products we recommend, please contact us via our About page.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

  • Links within "Recommended Resource" boxes (the highlighted boxes marked with ✦ borders)
  • All buttons labelled "View on Amazon ↗" or "Shop on Etsy ↗"
  • Product listings on our Top Recommendations page
  • Sidebar product widgets within Archive File articles
  • Any link accompanied by the statement "affiliate link" or the disclosure note
