Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliant)

VaultPremium is an independent editorial publication that earns affiliate commissions when readers subscribe to networks through our links. This page discloses every commercial relationship that affects content on this site, in compliance with the U.S. FTC's 16 CFR Part 255.

Plain-English Summary

• When you click an affiliate link on this site and subscribe, VaultPremium may earn a commission.
• The price you pay is not affected by clicking through our link.
• Our editorial rankings, scores, and recommendations are not affected by commission rates.
• We do not accept paid placements, sponsored reviews, or "featured network" fees.

Affiliate Relationships in Place

All listed relationships are standard affiliate programs available to any qualified publisher. Commission rates are roughly comparable across networks within the premium category. We do not receive bonuses, kickbacks, or out-of-band incentives from any network listed above.

How Affiliate Links Are Marked

All commercial outbound links on this site:

• Route through our /go/ redirect path for tracking
• Use sub-IDs identifying the page surface (for our internal EPC analysis)
• Are disclosed at the top of every review page, not just here
• Are accompanied by visible CTA buttons (not hidden links)

What We Earn — and Don't Earn

What we earn

• Standard affiliate commissions on subscriptions purchased through our verified links
• Recurring commissions on subscriptions that remain active (where the program supports rev-share)

What we do NOT earn

• Paid placement fees
• "Featured network" or "sponsored review" fees
• Cash bonuses for favorable scoring
• Incentives to bury or remove negative findings
• Network-paid travel, equipment, or compensation outside the standard affiliate program

Editorial Independence

Our rankings, scores, and editorial recommendations are determined by our published 8-point testing protocol and the editor's hands-on subscription experience. They are not determined by:

• Commission rate (we earn comparable rates across our covered networks)
• Network-provided briefing materials
• Affiliate manager pressure or requests
• Volume of historical earnings from a specific network

What This Means for Readers

You can click any affiliate link on this site with three guarantees:

1. You pay the same price as you would going direct.
2. The discount displayed is the discount you'll see at checkout (re-verified every 14 days).
3. The editorial verdict is the editor's actual, evidence-based assessment — not a paid recommendation.

FTC Compliance Statement

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 (Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising). VaultPremium is a "material connection" disclosure under FTC guidance: we have a financial relationship with the networks whose links appear on this site, and that relationship is disclosed prominently here and at the top of every review.
