Our Affiliate Program Participation

Tempo Roasters participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive a commission when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable coffee-related content and services.

Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website are affiliate links. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us maintain our website, create content, and improve our services. Examples of products that may include affiliate links:

• → Coffee brewing equipment and accessories
• → Coffee beans and related products from partner roasters
• → Educational resources and books about coffee
• → Kitchen tools and storage solutions for coffee enthusiasts

Our Recommendation Policy

We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will benefit our audience. Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence our editorial content or the integrity of our recommendations. We base our suggestions on personal experience, research, and professional expertise in the coffee industry. If we recommend a product through an affiliate link, it's because we truly think it's valuable, not solely because we'll earn a commission.

Financial Relationship Transparency

When we have a financial relationship with a company or product we're discussing, we disclose this clearly. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions while being completely transparent about any potential financial benefit we might receive from your actions.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we disclose that some of the links and content on our website may be affiliate relationships from which we receive compensation. This disclosure applies to all forms of communication, including blog posts, social media, email newsletters, and other digital content.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content, paid reviews, or promotional materials created in partnership with brands. All sponsored content will be clearly identified as such. We use labels like "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar designations to ensure you know when content is financially supported by a third party.

Sponsored Post Policies

When we create sponsored content:

• → We maintain editorial control and only work with brands aligned with our values
• → All opinions expressed remain our own, even in sponsored content
• → We clearly disclose the sponsorship at the beginning of the content
• → We ensure the content provides genuine value to our audience
• → We comply with all applicable advertising regulations and guidelines

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may partner with coffee brands, equipment manufacturers, and other companies in the coffee industry for various collaborations. These partnerships might include sponsored events, product launches, educational content, or promotional campaigns. When such partnerships exist, we disclose them clearly to our audience.

Editorial Independence

While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we maintain strict editorial independence. Sponsors do not dictate our opinions, and we reserve the right to provide honest assessments even in paid partnerships. Our reputation and relationship with our audience are more valuable than any single sponsorship opportunity.
