As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a specially formatted link that allows a retailer or affiliate network to recognize that a visitor arrived from Balance Foundry. If you follow an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase, Balance Foundry may receive a commission or referral fee.
Your purchase price does not increase because you used an affiliate link. Any commission is paid by the retailer or affiliate program, not added to your order.
Amazon Associates Program
Balance Foundry participates 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.
Amazon product prices, availability, sellers, specifications, and listing details can change at any time. Information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase controls your transaction.
How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content
Affiliate relationships do not guarantee a positive review, a particular ranking, or inclusion in a guide. Balance Foundry aims to evaluate products according to factors that matter for their intended use, such as design, dimensions, materials, stability, adjustability, progression, and practical tradeoffs.
When a product has not been personally tested, Balance Foundry does not present manufacturer specifications, product listings, or customer feedback as firsthand testing. Research-based recommendations are identified and written accordingly.
Other Affiliate Programs
Balance Foundry may participate in additional retailer or affiliate-network programs in the future. Links connected to those relationships may also generate a commission when a reader makes a qualifying purchase. This page applies to those relationships unless a more specific disclosure appears near the applicable content.
Link-Level Disclosures
Product reviews, buyer guides, comparison pages, emails, or social posts may contain an additional notice near affiliate links. Examples include “affiliate link,” “paid link,” “ad,” or a statement explaining that Balance Foundry may earn a commission.
Your Purchasing Decisions
Product recommendations are provided for informational purposes. You are responsible for confirming current product details, suitability, pricing, return policies, warranties, and safety information before purchasing or using any product.
Questions
If you have questions about this disclosure or a relationship mentioned on Balance Foundry, please use the site’s contact page.
The purpose of Balance Foundry is to help readers understand equipment and make better-informed decisions. Affiliate revenue helps support the work required to research, create, maintain, and update that guidance.
