1. Amazon Associates Disclosure
F3 Calgary is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
The required statement from Amazon is as follows:
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
This means that when you click on certain links on this website — such as links to books or other products on Amazon.com — and you make a purchase, F3 Calgary or its contributors may receive a small commission from Amazon. This comes at no additional cost to you.
2. General Affiliate and Compensation Disclosure
In the interest of full transparency, you should assume that any link on this website — or in any email sent by or on behalf of F3 Calgary — may be an affiliate link. This includes, but is not limited to, links to products, books, services, apps, or third-party websites.
When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase or sign up for a service, F3 Calgary or the individual contributor who shared the link may earn a commission, referral fee, or other form of compensation. This compensation does not influence what products or services we recommend — we only reference things we genuinely believe are useful to the F3 community.
Affiliate links will not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the product or service.
3. Why We Use Affiliate Links
F3 Calgary is a free, volunteer-run community group. We do not charge membership fees, and we never will. Affiliate commissions help offset modest costs associated with running this website and supporting the community — things like hosting, email tools, and operational expenses.
Any compensation earned through affiliate links goes toward sustaining F3 Calgary as a community, not toward personal profit for any individual.
4. Our Recommendations
We only link to products, books, and services that we believe are genuinely valuable to the F3 Calgary community. The presence of an affiliate link does not mean we have been paid to recommend something — it means we think it's worth your time and we've chosen to include a link that may also benefit F3 Calgary if you decide to purchase.
We are not responsible for the quality, accuracy, or performance of any third-party product or service we link to, affiliated or otherwise.
5. FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), as well as applicable Canadian advertising standards and transparency requirements. We are committed to being fully transparent about any material connection between F3 Calgary and products or services we reference.
