Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: July 24, 2026
The Java Lounge believes readers should understand how this website may earn revenue.
Affiliate relationships
Some articles, pages, emails, social-media posts, and other content may contain affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, The Java Lounge may receive a commission or referral payment.
This does not normally increase the price you pay.
How affiliate links affect content
The possibility of receiving a commission does not guarantee that a product will be recommended or reviewed positively.
Products may be selected based on factors such as:
Relevance to The Java Lounge audience.
Product features and descriptions.
Available customer feedback.
Brand or retailer information.
Price and availability.
Research into comparable products.
Unless an article clearly states that a product was personally purchased, used, or tested, you should not assume that it was.
Your responsibility
Product prices, availability, features, ingredients, warranties, shipping terms, and return policies can change.
Please review current information on the merchant’s website and decide whether a product is appropriate for your needs before purchasing it.
Purchases made through third-party links are transactions between you and the applicable merchant. Questions about an order, refund, delivery, warranty, or product should be directed to that merchant.
Article-level disclosures
Articles containing affiliate links will include a notice close to the relevant links or recommendations.
A typical notice may state:
Disclosure: This article may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through one of these links, The Java Lounge may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
The FTC advises placing a disclosure close to the recommendation or affiliate link rather than expecting readers to locate a separate legal page.
Amazon Associates
Only include this section after you have been accepted into the Amazon Associates Program:
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Amazon currently requires that statement, or a previously permitted substantially similar statement, to appear clearly and prominently on participating sites. It also requires a noticeable link-level disclosure near Amazon affiliate links.
Sponsored products and complimentary items
If The Java Lounge receives payment, a complimentary product, a discount, or another benefit in exchange for featuring a company or product, that relationship will be disclosed with the applicable content.
