Affiliate Disclosure
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a special link that may allow a website to receive a commission when a visitor clicks the link and completes a qualifying action or purchase with a third-party provider.
Depending on the program’s terms, the commission is generally paid by the third-party company or affiliate program and does not necessarily increase the visitor’s cost.
Our Affiliate Relationships
AI Tools List may participate in affiliate programs involving AI tools, software products, services or other relevant products. Programs in use: [AFFILIATE PROGRAMS, IF APPLICABLE]
[IF NO AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS EXIST, REPLACE THIS SECTION WITH: “AI Tools List does not currently participate in affiliate programs. If this changes, this disclosure will be updated accordingly.”]
How Affiliate Links Work
In general, the process works like this:
- A visitor discovers a tool on the website.
- The visitor clicks a link to the tool provider.
- The provider may identify the visit as a referral.
- If the visitor completes an eligible action according to the program’s terms, AI Tools List may receive a commission.
Tracking and eligibility rules depend on the affiliate program. A commission is not received for every click.
Does It Cost You More?
In many affiliate programs, the commission does not increase the price paid by the customer. However, pricing and purchase terms are controlled by the third-party provider, so we cannot guarantee how any specific program works.
How We Identify Affiliate Links
Commercial relationships should be disclosed clearly. Depending on what is implemented on the website, this may include:
- A disclosure near relevant links
- A disclosure within articles
- A disclosure on tool listing pages where appropriate
- This dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page
[DESCRIBE THE LABELING THAT IS ACTUALLY USED, OR REMOVE ITEMS ABOVE THAT DO NOT APPLY]
Some links on this page may be affiliate links. If you purchase through one of these links, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Not every link on the website is necessarily an affiliate link.
Affiliate Links and Editorial Content
Where applicable, an affiliate relationship may provide a commercial benefit to AI Tools List. However, the existence of an affiliate relationship should be clearly disclosed rather than hidden.

Sponsored Content and Paid Placements
Affiliate links, sponsored placements and advertising are different kinds of commercial relationships:
- Affiliate links may earn a commission if a qualifying action is completed.
- Sponsored placements are paid promotional positions or listings.
- Advertising is paid promotional content shown on the website.
If AI Tools List offers sponsored placements or paid promotional opportunities, those relationships should be clearly identified to visitors. [STATE WHETHER SPONSORED PLACEMENTS OR ADVERTISING EXIST, OR REMOVE THIS SENTENCE]
Third-Party Purchases
Clicking an affiliate link takes you to a third-party website. The third party controls:
- Checkout, pricing and billing
- Refunds and subscriptions
- Product delivery and support
- Its own terms and privacy practices
AI Tools List is not the seller of third-party products unless explicitly stated otherwise. Please review the third party’s terms before you purchase.
Changes to Our Affiliate Relationships
Commercial relationships may change. This disclosure may be updated when affiliate relationships are added, removed or materially changed.
