7.1 Disclosure
In accordance with FTC guidelines and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions:
- Any page or article containing affiliate links will include a clear disclosure notice

PixChop may participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
7.3 No Additional Cost to You
Clicking an affiliate link never increases the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer or service provider. If you have questions about any specific affiliate relationship, please contact us.
