Affiliate Disclosure

At ASLTyping.com, we believe visitors should be able to understand when a commercial relationship may exist behind a link, recommendation, or resource.

ASLTyping provides free educational content, digital tools, games, visual resources, and other materials. Operating and improving these resources takes time, development work, hosting, maintenance, research, design, and other ongoing effort.

As ASLTyping grows, we may use affiliate partnerships as one way to help support that work.

This Affiliate Disclosure explains what affiliate links are, how they may support ASLTyping, and what they mean for you as a visitor.

Our goal is simple:

If we may earn something from a recommendation or link, we want you to know.

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special link that can identify that a visitor was referred to another website by ASLTyping.

For example, we may someday recommend:

an ASL-related book;
a workbook;
educational material;
a learning resource;
a technology product;
a classroom resource;
a relevant service;
or another product we believe may be useful to some of our visitors.

If the link is an affiliate link and you follow it, the third-party website may recognize that the visit came from ASLTyping.

If you later make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action, ASLTyping may receive a commission or other compensation according to the affiliate program’s rules.

2. Why ASLTyping May Use Affiliate Links

Much of ASLTyping is intended to remain freely accessible.

We invest time and resources into areas such as:

website hosting;
development;
maintenance;
security;
educational content;
free tools;
games;
design;
research;
testing;
accessibility improvements;
and future resources.

Affiliate commissions may help offset some of these costs.

In simple terms:

You may discover a useful resource, and a qualifying referral may help support ASLTyping at the same time.

We believe this can be a reasonable way to support free educational resources when it is done transparently.

3. Affiliate Links Do Not Automatically Mean Higher Prices

Using an affiliate link does not necessarily mean that a merchant will charge you a different price.

However, pricing, discounts, taxes, shipping, promotions, currency conversion, subscriptions, and other purchase conditions are controlled by the third-party seller—not ASLTyping.

For that reason, you should always check the final price and terms directly with the merchant before completing a purchase.

We do not control third-party pricing.

4. We May Earn a Commission

When a page contains an affiliate relationship, ASLTyping may receive compensation if you complete a qualifying transaction or action through the relevant link.

Depending on the affiliate program, compensation could take different forms.

For example, it might be:

a percentage of a qualifying purchase;
a fixed referral fee;
a commission for a qualifying action;
store credit;
or another form of compensation.

The exact structure is determined by the third-party affiliate program.

You are not required to use an affiliate link in order to use ASLTyping.

5. Our Recommendations Should Remain Useful

Receiving a potential commission should not be the only reason we mention a product or resource.

Where ASLTyping recommends or discusses a product, book, resource, or service, our goal is to consider whether it is relevant to the page and potentially useful to our audience.

We do not want to recommend something simply because it offers the largest commission.

Affiliate relationships help support the website.

They should not replace editorial judgment.

6. Affiliate Compensation Does Not Buy Our Opinion

A merchant or affiliate program does not automatically receive the right to control our editorial opinion simply because ASLTyping may earn a commission.

Where we provide an independent review, comparison, explanation, or recommendation, we aim to maintain a reasonable separation between editorial content and commercial relationships.

If content is sponsored or paid for directly, we may provide a separate sponsorship or advertising disclosure where appropriate.

Please see our Editorial Policy and Advertising Policy for additional information.

7. We Will Try to Identify Affiliate Relationships Clearly

Where appropriate, pages or sections containing affiliate links may include a disclosure such as:

“This page contains affiliate links. If you make a qualifying purchase through one of these links, ASLTyping may earn a commission.”

The exact wording may vary depending on the context, platform, or affiliate program.

Our goal is not to hide the disclosure at the bottom of a long page where visitors are unlikely to see it.

Where practical, we aim to place relevant disclosure close enough to affiliate content that visitors can understand the relationship before making a purchasing decision.

8. A Link Is Not Automatically an Affiliate Link

Not every external link on ASLTyping is an affiliate link.

We may link to outside websites simply because they:

provide useful information;
are an official source;
offer additional educational material;
help verify a factual claim;
provide a resource we want visitors to know about; or
are relevant to the subject being discussed.

If we receive no compensation from a link, its presence should not automatically be interpreted as an affiliate relationship.

9. Affiliate Link vs. Sponsored Content

Affiliate content and sponsored content are not necessarily the same thing.

Affiliate Relationship

We may receive compensation if a visitor completes a qualifying purchase or action through a tracked link.

10. Books and Educational Resources

ASLTyping may recommend books, workbooks, dictionaries, learning materials, classroom resources, or other educational products.

Some of those recommendations may contain affiliate links.

A book appearing on ASLTyping does not automatically mean:

it is suitable for every learner;
it is the only resource you need;
every statement in the book is endorsed by ASLTyping;
the author is affiliated with ASLTyping;
or purchasing it will guarantee a particular learning outcome.

Different learners have different needs.

Please evaluate educational resources based on your own goals and circumstances.

11. Amazon and Other Affiliate Programs

ASLTyping may participate in one or more affiliate programs in the future, potentially including programs operated by major online retailers, book sellers, educational platforms, software providers, or other relevant businesses.

If ASLTyping formally joins a program that requires specific disclosure language, we will aim to add the required disclosure to the appropriate pages or this policy.

We do not want to claim membership in a particular affiliate program before that relationship actually exists.

If we later become a participant in the Amazon Associates Program or another program with mandatory wording, this policy should be updated accordingly.

12. We Do Not Control Third-Party Products

Products and services linked from ASLTyping are generally sold, provided, shipped, licensed, or supported by independent third parties.

Unless we clearly state otherwise, ASLTyping is not the seller.

This means we generally do not control matters such as:

product quality;
inventory;
pricing;
shipping;
delivery times;
warranties;
returns;
refunds;
subscriptions;
billing;
customer service;
product changes;
or merchant policies.

Questions or disputes about a third-party purchase should generally be directed to the relevant merchant or service provider.

13. Prices Can Change

If ASLTyping mentions a price, discount, offer, or promotion, that information may change.

Third-party sellers can modify prices, availability, discounts, product versions, and terms without notifying us.

A price shown or discussed on ASLTyping should therefore not be treated as a permanent guarantee.

Please verify the current price directly on the seller’s website before purchasing.

14. Product Availability Can Change

A product or service we link to may later:

become unavailable;
go out of stock;
change its features;
change its price;
move to a different page;
be replaced;
be discontinued;
or no longer participate in an affiliate program.

We may update or remove outdated links when we discover them, but we cannot guarantee that every affiliate link will always remain current.

15. We Cannot Guarantee Your Experience With a Product

We may explain why a resource appears useful, but we cannot guarantee that every visitor will have the same experience.

Learning styles, expectations, devices, budgets, accessibility requirements, educational goals, and personal preferences vary.

Therefore, an affiliate recommendation should be understood as information to consider—not a guarantee of satisfaction.

16. No Guaranteed Educational Results

Purchasing a book, workbook, course, app, or other educational resource through an ASLTyping affiliate link does not guarantee:

ASL fluency;
certification;
improved grades;
employment;
professional qualification;
a specific skill level;
or another particular outcome.

Learning requires time, practice, appropriate instruction, and many other factors.

Products can support learning.

They cannot guarantee it.

17. No Guaranteed Income or Business Results

ASLTyping may occasionally discuss tools, resources, creative ideas, or products that could potentially be useful for freelancing, content creation, design, education, or other commercial activities.

Affiliate links associated with such resources should not be interpreted as promises of income.

We do not guarantee that purchasing or using a recommended product will result in:

revenue;
profit;
clients;
employment;
followers;
traffic;
sales;
or business success.

Any commercial decision remains your responsibility.

18. Research Before You Buy

We encourage visitors not to purchase something simply because a link appears on ASLTyping.

Before making a meaningful purchase, consider:

whether you actually need the product;
whether it fits your learning goals;
the current price;
independent reviews where useful;
return or refund terms;
accessibility;
compatibility;
shipping;
seller reputation;
and available alternatives.

Our goal is to help visitors discover useful options—not pressure people into unnecessary purchases.

19. Reviews and Comparisons

If ASLTyping publishes reviews or comparisons containing affiliate links, we aim to distinguish between:

objective product information;
manufacturer or seller claims;
our own observations or analysis;
and commercial relationships.

Where practical, we may explain relevant advantages and limitations rather than presenting every affiliate product as perfect.

No product is necessarily the best option for every user.

20. Products We Have Not Personally Used

Not every resource mentioned on ASLTyping will necessarily have been personally purchased, tested, or used by our founder or every member of our team.

If our recommendation is based primarily on research, specifications, reputation, third-party information, or relevance rather than direct hands-on experience, we should avoid falsely claiming personal experience.

Where personal testing is particularly relevant, we may explain the basis of our assessment.

We believe transparency is more valuable than pretending to have used something when we have not.

21. Free Products, Samples and Review Copies

A company may occasionally provide a product, sample, review copy, trial, or free access.

Receiving something free can create a material relationship even if no direct payment is involved.

Where that relationship is relevant to a review or recommendation, we aim to disclose it appropriately.

Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review.

22. Discounts and Promotional Codes

ASLTyping may occasionally provide promotional codes or special links.

A discount code may or may not be connected to an affiliate relationship.

Where appropriate, we will disclose if ASLTyping may receive compensation from purchases made through a particular code or link.

Promotional offers can expire or change.

Always verify the final transaction details before purchasing.

23. Cookies and Affiliate Tracking

Affiliate programs may use cookies, tracking parameters, or similar technologies to determine whether a visitor was referred by ASLTyping.

For example, after clicking an affiliate link, a merchant or affiliate network may use a cookie or other identifier to attribute a qualifying transaction to us.

The duration and operation of affiliate tracking are generally determined by the third-party affiliate program.

For more information about cookies and similar technologies, please read our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

24. Your Privacy When Following Affiliate Links

When you click an affiliate link and leave ASLTyping, you may be interacting directly with a third-party website.

That website may collect information according to its own:

privacy policy;
cookie policy;
terms;
advertising practices;
and other rules.

ASLTyping does not control every data practice of independent third-party merchants or affiliate networks.

Please review the relevant third-party policies if privacy is important to your decision.

25. External Websites

Affiliate links take you away from ASLTyping.

We are not responsible for the continued availability, security, accuracy, accessibility, or content of independent external websites.

A third-party website may change after we link to it.

Please use reasonable judgment when visiting external websites or entering payment information.

26. Affiliate Relationships and Our Free Tools

The presence of affiliate links does not change the basic purpose of our free educational tools.

We do not want visitors to feel that they must buy a product in order to benefit from ASLTyping.

Where practical, our free tools and resources will continue to serve their educational purpose independently of affiliate recommendations.

A product recommendation may supplement learning.

It should not artificially block access to a free feature simply to force a purchase.

27. Supporting ASLTyping

If you choose to use an affiliate link and a qualifying transaction results in compensation to ASLTyping, that support may help us continue working on areas such as:

free tools;
educational content;
games;
website maintenance;
hosting;
development;
research;
design;
and future resources.

We appreciate that support.

But there is no obligation to make a purchase.

Simply using, sharing, and learning from ASLTyping also supports our mission.

28. Editorial Independence

Our Editorial Policy applies to content that includes affiliate relationships.

Our intended principle is straightforward:

A commission may support the website. It should not secretly determine what we tell our readers.

We may decide not to recommend a product even if an affiliate program is available.

We may also link to a useful resource without an affiliate relationship.

The usefulness of a resource and the existence of a commission are separate questions.

29. Advertising Is Different From Affiliate Marketing

ASLTyping may also display third-party advertising.

Advertising and affiliate marketing operate differently.

With an affiliate link, ASLTyping may receive compensation after a qualifying referral or transaction.

With display advertising, compensation may operate through a separate advertising system.

For information about display ads, please review our Advertising Policy.

30. Changes to Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate programs can change their:

commission rates;
attribution periods;
eligibility requirements;
terms;
participating products;
disclosure requirements;
or entire program structure.

ASLTyping may also join or leave affiliate programs over time.

We may update this disclosure as our commercial relationships develop.

31. Changes to This Affiliate Disclosure

As ASLTyping grows, our use of affiliate links may become more extensive or may change.

If we make material changes to our affiliate practices, we may update this page.

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy indicates when the current version was last revised.

If a specific affiliate program requires additional disclosures, those disclosures may also appear directly on relevant pages.

32. Questions About an Affiliate Relationship?

If you are unsure whether a particular link, recommendation, book, resource, or product on ASLTyping involves an affiliate relationship, you are welcome to contact us through our Contact page.

Transparency matters to us.

We would rather answer a reasonable question than leave a visitor uncertain about whether compensation is involved.

A Personal Note from Our Founder

Before you leave this page, I would like to say something personally.

ASLTyping was not created simply to place advertisements or affiliate links around content.

It began with a much bigger idea:

Can the technology, development, design, and digital skills we have learned be used to create something genuinely useful for other people?

That question is still important to me.

As ASLTyping grows, it also has real costs.

There is hosting.

There is development.

There is maintenance.

There is security.

There is design.

There is research.

And, most importantly, there is the time and effort of people working behind the website.

Affiliate partnerships may eventually become one small way of helping us support those costs while continuing to provide useful resources freely.

But I never want a commission to become more important than the person reading the page.

If we recommend something, I want there to be a reasonable reason for that product or resource to be there.

If we may earn from a link, I want you to be able to know that.

And if you decide that the product is not right for you, that is completely okay.

You never owe us a purchase.

You can support ASLTyping simply by learning with us, using our tools responsibly, sharing a useful resource with someone who needs it, sending us thoughtful feedback, or returning another day.

If you do choose to purchase something through one of our affiliate links in the future, and that purchase helps support ASLTyping, please know that our team will genuinely appreciate it.

Thank you for trusting us enough to read our work.

Thank you for allowing us to keep learning alongside you.

And as we continue trying to build ASLTyping into something useful, sustainable, and meaningful, I have the same personal request:

Please keep me, our team, and ASLTyping in your prayers and good wishes.

May we have the wisdom to recommend responsibly, the honesty to disclose relationships clearly, the discipline to put usefulness before commission, and the opportunity to keep building resources that genuinely benefit people.

With gratitude and warm wishes,
Founder, ASLTyping
On behalf of the entire ASLTyping team
