Candidcodes is an editorial deals and store review website, and part of how the site may be supported is through affiliate relationships.
This Disclosure Policy explains how that works, what readers should understand when using the site, and how Candidcodes aims to keep content clear, transparent, and editorially responsible.
Some links published on Candidcodes may be affiliate-supported. This means the website may earn a commission if a reader clicks a qualifying link and later completes a purchase or action with a third-party merchant.
This type of support may help sustain the site, support research and content work, and make it possible for Candidcodes to continue publishing editorial shopping content.
However, affiliate support does not change the basic role of the site. Candidcodes operates as an independent publisher, not as the merchant behind the stores featured on this website.
If a link on Candidcodes is affiliate-supported, it generally means the site may receive compensation if certain actions are completed after a click, depending on the terms of the relevant merchant or network.
In many cases, this does not increase the purchase price for the reader. However, the final pricing, merchant terms, shipping, returns, taxes, and other transaction conditions are always determined by the merchant, not by Candidcodes.
Readers should always review the final details shown on the merchant website before completing a purchase.
Candidcodes does not treat affiliate-supported relationships as automatic proof that a store should be trusted, promoted aggressively, or described in stronger terms than the visible evidence supports.
A merchant may have an affiliate program and still present a weak or unclear buying route. A promotion may appear commissionable and still require careful explanation. A coupon may exist publicly and still not be equally useful for every shopper.
This is why Candidcodes aims to keep its editorial direction focused on reader usefulness, shopping clarity, and visible store information, rather than simply presenting every commission opportunity as equally valuable.
Candidcodes aims to maintain editorial independence even when affiliate-supported links are present.
That means affiliate relationships do not automatically determine which stores are covered, how content is framed, or whether a store, promotion, or buying route should be described more positively than the live website supports.
The goal is to keep content useful first, transparent always, and commercially aware without becoming editorially hollow.
If you want to understand more about how the site approaches content standards, you can also read our Editorial Policy, Our Store Review Methodology, and How We Verify Coupon Codes Before Publishing.
Candidcodes does not sell products directly.
The site does not process third-party merchant orders, handle payments, manage shipping, issue refunds, process returns, or provide customer service on behalf of outside stores. Any transaction made after leaving Candidcodes is between the reader and the merchant, not between the reader and Candidcodes.
If you have an issue with an order, payment, return, refund, shipping delay, or product quality, you should contact the merchant directly through its official support channels.
A trust-focused website should be clear about how it operates.
This disclosure exists so readers, merchants, partners, and affiliate networks can understand that Candidcodes may earn commission from some links, while also understanding that the site aims to balance commercial reality with editorial clarity and responsible content standards.
Being transparent about affiliate support is part of the broader trust standard Candidcodes aims to keep across the site.

Affiliate support does not mean Candidcodes controls merchant pricing, coupon validity, offer duration, shipping policy, return policy, or customer support quality.
Stores may change terms without notice. Promotions may expire. Conditions may be revised. Coupon behavior may differ across regions, products, customer types, or campaign periods.
That is one reason why Candidcodes encourages readers to review merchant information carefully and why the site publishes trust-focused content such as How to Tell If an Online Store Is Legit Before You Buy, What to Check Before Buying From a New Ecommerce Website, and Why Clear Return Policies Matter More Than Big Discounts.
