Affiliate Disclosure Policy

This Affiliate Disclosure details affiliate commission relationships that FactoryoftheFuture.org has with other companies and products.  For more information on our other policies, please also see our Terms Agreement, Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Community Guidelines, and Copyright Infringement Policy which govern the use of this website.

Our Mission:

The mission of FactoryoftheFuture.org is to making manufacturing stronger, better, faster, while using fewer resources. To serve that mission, we may offer links to outside products and services.

What we recommend:

We only recommend products and services we believe will benefit you, whether or not that product or service offers any commission.  For example, if there is a free solution or an inexpensive solution that we feel does the job well, we will always recommend the free solution first, if there is one, and the inexpensive solution next.  If there is a choice between a product or service that offers a higher commission and one that offers a lower commission but is better, we will always choose the one that is better for you.

Integrity:

All products and services that we review, or suggest on this website are ones which we personally use or have independently evaluated and deemed to be the best. These are products and services we would recommend without an affiliate commission, and in fact, we do have many links on the site to products and services for which we do not receive any commission. We do not accept free products for review and we also disclose if associated with a company in any other way that benefits us financially. 

No additional cost to you

The Affiliate Links on FactoryoftheFuture.org have a tracking code that allows us to receive a small commission on the sale if you purchase through one of these links. This happens at no cost to you, meaning, that using our link does not raise the price of any item that you buy.  In fact, in some cases, where FactoryoftheFuture.org has been able to provide you with an in-link discount or discount code, the cost to you may be less.

US FTC Guidelines:

We do our best to note any link on the site that we earn a commission on as an Affiliate Link, like this: “[Affiliate Link]” The US Federal Trade Commission recommends, to avoid any confusion, it is best to assume that any/all links, posts, photos and other material on this website may be affiliate links for which FactoryoftheFuture.org receives a commission from sales, (though the price remains the same for you.)

Amazon Associates:

FactoryoftheFuture.org 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. Pages on this site may include affiliate links to Amazon and its affiliate sites on which the owner of this website will make a referral commission.

External Companies:

Please note that we do not have any control over the external companies that provide products or services that we recommend and have no financial interest other than an affiliate relationship.  For this reason, we cannot ensure that any item purchased through a link on FactoryoftheFuture.org is shipped on time, packaged properly, or that you will like it. Any problems or concerns with a specific product purchased through a link on this website should be directed to the company the item was purchased from.
