Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: March 31, 2026

FTC Disclosure Requirement

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, BackupPowerSource.com discloses all material connections between this site and the brands, products, and services we discuss.

BackupPowerSource.com is a participant in affiliate advertising programs. This means that when you click certain product links on our site and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or manufacturer — at no additional cost to you.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on this site, a small tracking cookie is placed on your device. If you complete a purchase within the cookie window (typically 30–90 days depending on the program), we receive a commission. The price you pay is identical to what you would pay by going directly to the retailer — we receive our commission from the retailer, not from you.

Affiliate links are used throughout our buying guides, product reviews, and comparison articles. They are typically identified by phrases such as “Check Price,” “Buy Now,” or “View on [Retailer].”

Our Affiliate Partners

We currently have affiliate relationships with the following programs. Commission rates are approximate and may vary by product category or promotional period:

We may add or remove affiliate partners over time. This disclosure will be updated to reflect current relationships.

What This Means for Our Reviews

We are committed to maintaining editorial independence. Here is specifically how we handle the relationship between affiliate income and our recommendations:

• We recommend products we believe in. If we wouldn’t recommend a product to a friend asking for advice, we don’t recommend it here — regardless of commission rate.
• We include non-affiliate links when appropriate. If a product is best purchased at a retailer we don’t have an affiliate arrangement with, we still link there.
• We disclose when we cannot be objective. If we have received a product for free for review purposes, we state this clearly in the article.
• Commission rates do not determine rankings. A product with a higher commission rate does not receive a better ranking than a product with a lower rate. Our rankings are based on performance, value, and fit for the reader’s use case.
• We update recommendations as products improve or decline. Even if a previously top-ranked product earns us strong commissions, we will demote or remove it if a better option emerges.

Display Advertising Income

In addition to affiliate income, BackupPowerSource.com earns revenue from display advertisements served through Google AdSense and potentially other ad networks. Advertisers do not influence editorial content or product recommendations. Advertising relationships are not disclosed on individual pages because we do not have specific commercial relationships with the companies being advertised — ads are served algorithmically based on content and reader interests.

Digital Product Sales

We sell digital products (such as planning guides and spreadsheets) directly through this site. These products are created independently by our editorial team. Digital product revenue does not influence our product recommendations or editorial content.

Sponsored Content

We do not currently publish sponsored content or paid reviews. If this changes, any sponsored content will be clearly labeled “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the top of the article.

Free Products for Review

We may occasionally receive products at no cost from manufacturers for the purpose of review. Any article featuring a product received for free will disclose this clearly at the top. Receiving a product for free does not guarantee a positive review — we evaluate all products by the same standards regardless of how we obtained them.
