Affiliate Disclosure

How TrueNorth Tested earns money, and why affiliate commissions never influence our scores or rankings.

TrueNorth Tested is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs. When you click a link on this site and buy something, we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra โ€” the price you pay is identical to the price you would pay arriving at the retailer directly.

What this means in practice

  • Affiliate income is how this site is funded. It pays for the products we buy and the people who test them.
  • Commission rates never influence a score, a ranking or a verdict. Some of our lowest-scoring reviews are of products that pay us the most.
  • We link to retailers we would recommend regardless of payout, and we do not link to products we have not tested.
  • Every review page carries a disclosure notice at the top, before the content.

Which programs we use

Amazon Associates (Amazon.ca), PartnerBoost and selected direct brand programs. Links that earn us a commission are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page source, as Google requires.

Prices

Prices shown are the Canadian retail price we recorded at the time of the last test. Retail prices change constantly, especially around Black Friday, Prime Day and Boxing Day. Always confirm the current price on the retailer’s page before buying.
