Affiliate Disclosure

1. The short version

MarkSurge is a growth and marketing partner, not an affiliate review site. We help brands acquire customers, and as part of that work we promote those brands across channels. Sometimes this includes using affiliate or partner links that a brand provides, so that the customers we send can be tracked back to our marketing. When that happens, we may earn a commission or fee from the brand.

2. Who this is for

This disclosure speaks to two groups of people, and the relationship looks a little different for each.

3. What these relationships are

An affiliate or partner relationship is an arrangement where one business promotes another business's products or services and earns a commission or fee for results, such as a referred customer or completed sale. This is a common and legitimate part of digital marketing, and it is how a large share of online recommendations work. For MarkSurge, affiliate links are one of several tools we use to do our actual job, which is bringing customers to the brands we partner with.

4. For brands we partner with

When you work with MarkSurge as a brand, we act as your marketing partner and may promote you in several ways, including:

• Promoting your brand through your existing affiliate or partner program.
• Working with you directly to bring paying customers on agreed terms.
• Driving traffic and customers through channels such as paid ads, content, email, and social media.

The specific commercial terms, including any commissions, fees, or tracking arrangements, are set out in a separate agreement between MarkSurge and your brand. Nothing on this page replaces that agreement.

5. For customers using our links

If you found a brand through our marketing and clicked a link to sign up or buy, here is what you should know:

• Some of those links are affiliate or partner links provided by the brand, which let the brand know the customer came from MarkSurge.
• When you buy or sign up through one of these links, MarkSurge may earn a commission or fee from the brand.
• This costs you nothing extra. The commission is paid by the brand, not added to your price. In many cases the brand offers the same or a better deal through our links.
• The product or service you buy is provided by the brand, not by MarkSurge. Your purchase, account, and support are with that brand.

6. How we earn

When our marketing leads to a sale, sign-up, subscription, or other agreed action for a partner brand, we may receive a commission, referral fee, or other compensation from that brand. This may be based on performance, such as a percentage of a sale, or on other terms agreed with the brand. We may earn from some, but not all, of the brands and links associated with MarkSurge.

7. Our commitment to honesty

Earning a commission never buys a dishonest recommendation. We only choose to work with brands we believe can deliver genuine value, and any opinions we share about a product or service are our own. A partnership or potential commission does not change what we say about a brand or the standards we hold it to. This is the same whether you are a brand considering us or a customer considering a brand we promote.

8. No guarantee of results

Any products or services we promote belong to the brands that offer them. We do our best to work with quality brands, but we do not control their products, pricing, support, or policies. Information about third-party products is provided for general purposes only and is not a guarantee of any particular result or outcome.

9. Brands & trademarks

Brand names, logos, and trademarks shown on our Site or in our marketing remain the property of their respective owners. They are used for identification and informational purposes only, and their appearance does not imply endorsement of MarkSurge by those brands unless stated otherwise.

10. Regulatory compliance

We aim to follow applicable advertising and disclosure rules in the markets we operate in, including guidance from authorities such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and similar bodies in other regions. This disclosure is provided so that both brands and customers understand that affiliate and partner relationships may exist.

11. Changes to this disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time as our partnerships and practices evolve. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
