Last updated: 23 July 2026

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how HowPeopleUse.com, operated by Velivion Ltd, may earn revenue through affiliate links, advertising, sponsorships and other commercial relationships.

We believe that commercial relationships should be communicated clearly so that our readers can understand how the website is funded.

1. Affiliate Links

Some links on HowPeopleUse.com are affiliate links.

This means that Velivion Ltd may receive a commission or another form of compensation when you:

• Click an affiliate link

• Visit a third-party website

• Register for a product or service

• Request information or a quotation

• Complete a purchase

• Take another qualifying action

The commission is paid by the relevant retailer, service provider or affiliate network.

Using an affiliate link will not normally increase the price you pay. However, prices, promotions and terms are controlled entirely by the relevant third party.

2. How Affiliate Links Are Identified

We aim to make affiliate relationships clear and easy to understand.

Pages containing affiliate links may include a disclosure such as:

Affiliate disclosure: HowPeopleUse may earn a commission when you purchase or register through links on this page. This does not normally affect the price you pay.

Individual links, buttons, comparison tables or sections may also be marked using wording such as:

• Affiliate link

• We may earn a commission

• Sponsored

• Advertisement

• Ad

• Paid partnership

The wording used may vary depending on the format and type of content, but the commercial nature of the relationship should be clear.

3. Editorial Independence

Our participation in an affiliate programme does not allow a retailer, manufacturer, service provider, advertiser or affiliate network to purchase a specific rating, Audit Score or positive review.

Our reviews, ratings, comparisons and recommendations are based on factors that may include:

• Product or service features

• Usability

• Performance

• Pricing and value

• Testing or practical evaluation

• Customer feedback

• Technical information

• Market comparisons

• Availability

• Editorial judgement

Commercial relationships may influence which products or services are available for us to review, include or link to.

They may also influence the order or visibility of certain offers, particularly where content is labelled as sponsored, promoted or advertising.

However, compensation does not guarantee a favourable editorial conclusion.

4. Sponsored Content

HowPeopleUse may occasionally publish content that has been funded, commissioned or supported by a third party.

Sponsored content may include:

• Sponsored articles

• Paid product placements

• Brand partnerships

• Advertorial content

• Sponsored newsletters

• Sponsored social-media posts

• Paid inclusion in a commercial feature

Sponsored content will be identified using an appropriate disclosure, such as:

• Sponsored

• Advertisement

• Paid partnership

• Sponsored by

• Produced in partnership with

Where a sponsor has reviewed or approved content before publication, this may also be stated where appropriate.

5. Free Products and Other Benefits

Velivion Ltd or its contributors may occasionally receive products, trial access, event invitations, samples, discounts or other benefits from companies featured on HowPeopleUse.

Where such a benefit is material to the content, we aim to disclose it clearly.

Receiving a free product or service does not guarantee:

• Publication of a review

• A positive review

• A particular score

• Continued inclusion on the website

• A recommendation

Unless otherwise stated, reviewed products may be returned, retained, purchased independently or provided temporarily for evaluation.

6. Reviews, Rankings and Comparisons

HowPeopleUse may not review or compare every product, service or provider available in the market.

Our comparison tables, rankings and recommended selections may be based on a limited group of products or commercial partners.

The absence of a product or provider does not necessarily mean that it is unsuitable or of lower quality.

The order in which products or offers appear may be influenced by factors such as:

• Relevance to the user

• Editorial assessment

• Product features

• Pricing

• Availability

• Popularity

• Geographic coverage

• Commercial relationships

• Affiliate commission structures

Where a placement is specifically paid for, it should be identified as sponsored, promoted or advertising.

7. Prices and Product Information

We aim to present useful and accurate information, but we do not control the information displayed on third-party websites.

Prices, availability, discounts, specifications, eligibility requirements and promotional terms may change at any time.

A price or offer displayed on HowPeopleUse may differ from the price or offer available when you visit the third-party website.

You should confirm all important information directly with the relevant retailer or service provider before making a purchase or entering into an agreement.

8. Third-Party Products and Services

Affiliate links direct you to websites operated by third parties.

Velivion Ltd does not normally act as the seller, manufacturer, supplier, payment processor or contracting party for products and services purchased through affiliate links.

Any purchase or agreement is made directly between you and the relevant third party.

We are not responsible for matters including:

• Product quality or suitability

• Availability

• Pricing

• Delivery

• Returns

• Refunds

• Warranties

• Customer service

• Payment processing

• Data-protection practices

• Contractual terms

You should review the third party’s applicable terms, privacy policy and returns or cancellation policy before completing a transaction.

9. No Guarantee of Results

References to potential savings, performance, earnings, returns, efficiency, value or other benefits are provided for informational purposes.

Individual outcomes may vary.

We do not guarantee that purchasing or using a product through an affiliate link will produce a particular result.

You remain responsible for evaluating whether a product or service is appropriate for your circumstances.

10. Affiliate Tracking

Affiliate networks and third-party partners may use cookies, tracking links, pixels and similar technologies to record referrals and qualifying transactions.

These technologies may record information such as:

• The affiliate link clicked

• The referring page

• The date and time of the click

• A referral or transaction identifier

• Whether a purchase or registration was completed

• The category or value of a transaction

• Browser and device information

Further information about affiliate tracking and your cookie choices is available in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

11. Social-Media Disclosures

HowPeopleUse and Velivion Ltd may also promote products, services or commercial partners through social-media accounts.

Where a social-media post includes an affiliate relationship, sponsorship, gifted product or another material commercial connection, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly within the post.

Disclosures may include wording or labels such as:

• Ad

• Advertisement

• Sponsored

• Paid partnership

• Affiliate link

• Gifted

A disclosure should be placed prominently enough for users to understand the commercial nature of the content before or when engaging with it.

12. Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure when:

• We join or leave affiliate programmes

• Our commercial relationships change

• We introduce new advertising or sponsorship formats

• Our editorial practices change

• Applicable legal or regulatory requirements change

The revised disclosure will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
