Affiliate Disclosure
We believe in full transparency about how vostex.de generates revenue.
Last updated: May 17, 2026
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a common method by which websites earn revenue by linking to products or services offered by third-party companies. When a visitor clicks an affiliate link on our Website and completes a qualifying action (such as making a purchase or signing up for a service), we may receive a commission or referral fee from the company whose product or service was purchased.
This commission is paid by the merchant or advertiser, not by you. Affiliate links do not increase the price you pay for any product or service.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Vostex, operated by Search Adx LLC, may participate in affiliate programmes and advertising arrangements with third-party companies and networks, including Amazon Associates where applicable. As a result, some content, links, and advertisements on this Website may be affiliated, meaning we may receive compensation if you click or make a purchase through them.
In addition to affiliate links, this Website displays the following types of monetised content that may be associated with compensation:
- Google AdSense display advertisements
- Google AdSense for Search / RSOC search-based advertisements. Where search results carry an “Aff” or “Affiliate” label, Vostex may receive financial compensation related to that result
- Video advertisements served by third-party video ad technology providers
- Native advertising and sponsored content recommendation widgets
- Direct affiliate links within editorial content, including Amazon affiliate links where applicable
Key Principles
No Extra Cost to You
Affiliate commissions are paid by the merchant, not by you. You pay the same price whether or not you use our links.
Editorial Independence
Compensation does not influence our editorial decisions. Our content reflects our genuine opinions and research.
Full Transparency
We disclose all material connections clearly in compliance with FTC, ASA, and EU consumer protection requirements.
Opinions Are Our Own
The content published on vostex.de represents the independent views and editorial judgement of our team. We are not instructed, directed, or influenced by affiliate partners, advertisers, or sponsors in the formation of our editorial opinions. The fact that we may receive compensation through affiliate links or advertising does not affect the objectivity or integrity of our content.
We aim to provide accurate, balanced, and useful information to our readers at all times, regardless of any commercial relationships in place.
How We Select Partners
We exercise editorial judgement when deciding which affiliate programmes, advertisers, or commercial partners to work with. We consider whether any partnership is relevant to our content and audience. However, we do not independently verify or endorse every product, service, or company whose advertisements appear on this Website, particularly in the case of automated ad serving through platforms such as Google AdSense.
You should conduct your own due diligence before purchasing any product or service referenced on or advertised through this Website.
How Disclosures Appear on This Site
Where affiliate links or sponsored content appear within editorial content on vostex.de, we endeavour to identify them clearly using labels such as “Sponsored,” “Affiliate Link,” “Recommended,” or similar language. Advertisements served automatically through Google AdSense and related platforms are labelled by Google in accordance with their own disclosure standards. Search results served via AFS/RSOC may carry an “Aff” label where applicable.
Third-Party Advertiser Disclaimer
Some advertisements displayed on vostex.de are served automatically by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense and related platforms. We do not have direct control over which specific advertisements are displayed, and the appearance of any advertisement on this Website does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or warranty by Vostex or Search Adx LLC of any product, service, or company.
Clicking on any advertisement is entirely at your own discretion and subject to the terms and policies of the respective advertiser or ad network.
