Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: November 12, 2025
At Quorum Depth, we are committed to transparency regarding our advertising relationships and financial arrangements. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content.
Transparency Commitment: We believe in maintaining trust with our audience through clear disclosure of any financial relationships that may influence the content on our website. This disclosure is provided in accordance with consumer protection regulations and industry best practices.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
Quorum Depth may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when visitors click on certain links and make purchases through those links. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
Affiliate links may appear in various sections of our website, including but not limited to content pages, resource recommendations, and service descriptions. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Commission-Based Link Disclosures
We want to be completely transparent about how affiliate commissions work on our website:
- Commission Structure: We earn a percentage of sales made through affiliate links, typically ranging from 5% to 30% depending on the program and product.
- No Extra Cost: Affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay for products or services. Prices remain the same whether you use our affiliate link or access the vendor directly.
- Tracking: Affiliate programs use cookies and tracking technologies to attribute purchases to our referrals and ensure proper commission payment.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product and service recommendations are based on our professional assessment and experience, not solely on commission potential. We maintain these standards when recommending products or services:
Financial Relationship Transparency
We believe in complete transparency regarding financial relationships. When we have an affiliate or financial relationship with a company whose products or services we mention, we clearly disclose this relationship. Our integrity and your trust are more important to us than short-term commission income.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. Sponsored content is material created in collaboration with or compensation from advertisers, brands, or partners.
All sponsored content is clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar designations. We ensure that such content is distinguishable from our independent editorial content.
Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
Our labeling practices for sponsored content include:
- 1. Clear identification at the beginning of sponsored articles or posts
- 2. Visual distinction from editorial content through design elements or placement
- 3. Disclosure of the sponsoring organization or brand
- 4. Compliance with advertising standards and regulations
Brand Partnership Disclosures
When we enter into partnerships with brands or organizations, we maintain editorial independence while being transparent about the commercial nature of these relationships. Brand partnerships may involve compensation for content creation, product placement, or promotional activities, all of which will be clearly disclosed.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Even in sponsored content, we maintain our commitment to accuracy, quality, and value. We do not publish sponsored content that we believe is misleading, inaccurate, or fails to provide value to our audience. Our reputation depends on maintaining high standards regardless of commercial arrangements.
