AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

What affiliate marketing means, how it works on this site, and what it does and does not affect.

Last updated: July 2026

Compensation Disclosure

Ace Apparel Company participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you select certain links and make a purchase from a third-party retailer, Ace Apparel Company or Ace Digital Media Group may earn a commission. This does not increase the price you pay. Affiliate relationships do not guarantee favorable coverage.

What This Means

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer pays Ace Apparel Company or Ace Digital Media Group a commission. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget — it does not increase the price you pay. You pay the same price whether you arrive at the retailer through an affiliate link or by typing the URL directly.

Where Affiliate Links Appear

Affiliate links appear in product articles, buying guides, reviews, comparisons, and department pages. Every page that contains affiliate links displays a disclosure notice before the first affiliate link on that page. The disclosure reads: 'Ace Apparel Company may earn a commission if you purchase through links on this page. This does not affect the price you pay. Our editorial selections are made independently.' This notice appears at the top of the content area, not only in the footer.

What Affiliate Relationships Do Not Affect

Affiliate commission rates do not determine which products are selected for coverage, which products receive favorable assessments, or which products are excluded. A product with no affiliate relationship may be featured. A product with an affiliate relationship may receive critical coverage or be excluded entirely if it does not meet our editorial standards. Products are selected editorially before affiliate links are added — not the other way around.

Sponsored Content

Sponsored content — articles, placements, or features paid for by a brand — is labeled clearly at the top of the page. Sponsored content is distinct from affiliate-linked editorial content. If you see a 'Sponsored' or 'Paid Partnership' label, the brand paid for that placement. If you do not see that label, the content reflects independent editorial judgment, even if affiliate links are present.

Retailers and Programs

Ace Apparel Company participates in affiliate programs operated by major retailers and affiliate networks. The specific programs we participate in change over time as we add and remove retailer relationships. We do not disclose the specific commission rate we receive from any retailer, as those rates are confidential under our program agreements.
