Affiliate disclosure
Short version: some clinics pay us if you sign up through our link. It never changes a score or a ranking position.
Where it stands right now
This site currently has no affiliate links at all, and no clinic is ranked. This page is live before the first link exists rather than after, so the disclosure is never playing catch-up with the monetisation.
What a commission changes
One thing: when two clinics are comparably ranked, which one a promoted button points at. That is a commercial choice and it is labelled as one on the page where it happens.
What it does not change
- Any score on any criterion. Commission is not an input to the rubric — see how we score.
- Any position in the ranking. The order comes from the weighted scores and nothing else.
- Whether a problem gets published. A paying partner's regulatory record, contradictory pricing or missing terms are reported the same as anyone's.
- Whether a non-paying clinic can rank first. It can, and where it does we say we earn nothing from it.
How links are marked
Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored nofollow" and a visible label. Links to clinics that do not pay us are labelled too, saying so explicitly — the absence of a commission is information as well.
What you pay
Nothing extra. A commission is paid by the clinic out of its own margin; it does not add to your price, and we have never negotiated a discount code in exchange for placement.
