Affiliate disclosure
Transparency about how we make money — and what that means for you.
How we're funded
How affiliate links work
clearfitis designed to be funded through affiliate links with Australian retailers. When you click through to a retailer from our site and make a purchase, we may eventually earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you see is always the same price you'd pay going directly to that retailer. No affiliate partnerships are active yet.
Our recommendations
How affiliates affect our recommendations
Short answer: they don't.
- Our rankings are based on how well products match your stated needs, not on commission rates or retailer relationships
- Price comparisons are designed to include every retailer regardless of affiliate status, not just the ones we earn commission from
- Products are evaluated on their specs, verified data, and value — not on whether we earn commission when you buy
- Affiliate relationships, when active, are never disclosed to brands in advance of editorial decisions
Your rights
What this means for you
- The prices you see are the same prices you'd pay going directly to the retailer
- You're under no obligation to buy through our links
- You're always free to compare prices against any retailer, affiliate or not
- If you'd prefer not to support us through affiliate links, you're welcome to visit retailers directly — we appreciate the trust either way
Our model
How we use the revenue
Affiliate income funds our independence. It lets us avoid running advertising, taking sponsored placements, or gating our content behind paywalls. It means we can be honest about products even when that honesty is commercially inconvenient, because our long-term business depends on trust — not on any single purchase.
We are explicit about this trade-off because we think you deserve to understand it. When you buy through our links, you're directly supporting our ability to keep this site independent, up-to-date, and free for everyone. We're grateful for that support.
Affiliate links are clearly identifiable — any “Visit store” or “Check price” button on this site may be an affiliate link. We will never disguise an affiliate link as an editorial link.
