ClickDeals is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs, including referral arrangements with AppSumo and individual software vendors. This means that when you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, ClickDeals may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the guidelines of the United States Federal Trade Commission on endorsements and testimonials.
1. How Our Affiliate Links Work
Throughout ClickDeals, including on our homepage, deals directory, and individual review pages, you will find links labeled as Get Lifetime Access or similar call to action buttons. These links direct you to the vendor's listing page, typically hosted on AppSumo. If you complete a purchase after clicking one of these links, we may receive a referral commission from the vendor or from AppSumo.
2. No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links never increases the price you pay. The commission we earn comes from the vendor's marketing budget, not from your wallet, and in many cases our links do not change the price at all compared to visiting the vendor directly.
3. Editorial Independence
Our reviews reflect our own evaluation of each product's features, pricing, and usability. We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, and we clearly list both pros and cons for every deal we cover, even when an affiliate relationship exists.
4. Which Pages Contain Affiliate Links
- All individual lifetime deal review pages, including the Get Lifetime Access buttons.
- The homepage featured deals grid and the All Deals directory page.
- Any mention of a specific software product elsewhere on the site where a direct link is provided.
5. Our Selection Process
We choose which lifetime deals to cover based on reader interest, category relevance, and whether the deal is currently live on the marketplace. Being featured on ClickDeals does not guarantee a favorable review.
6. Questions About This Disclosure
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how a specific link works, please reach out through our Connect page and we will be happy to explain.
