Affiliate Disclosure
Top Of The World is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com, and any other website that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.
What This Means For You
When you click on product links on this website and make a purchase on Amazon (or other affiliated retailers), we may receive a small commission. This comes at absolutely no additional cost to you — the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
How We Use Affiliate Income
The commissions we earn help us:
- Keep the website running and maintain our servers.
- Research and review new products.
- Create free, high-quality buying guides and comparisons.
- Keep all content accessible without paywalls or subscriptions.
Our Editorial Independence
We want to be completely transparent about how we operate:
- We are not paid to review products. No company has paid us to feature, rank, or review any product on this site.
- Affiliate commissions do not influence our rankings. Our product rankings are determined by an algorithm that considers price, customer ratings, review count, availability, and overall value — not commission rates.
- We recommend products we genuinely believe in. If a product doesn’t meet our quality threshold, it won’t appear on our site regardless of its commission rate.
- We disclose all affiliate relationships. Every page with affiliate links includes a disclosure notice.
Products We Link To
Most products on our site link to Amazon.com. When you see a “Check Price on Amazon” button or any link that takes you to a product on Amazon, that is an affiliate link.
Some products may be sold directly by us through our online store. These are clearly marked and processed through our checkout system (not Amazon).
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that affiliate relationships be disclosed to consumers. We take this requirement seriously and strive to be as transparent as possible.
Amazon-Specific Disclosures
As required by Amazon’s Operating Agreement:
- As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
- Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product.
- We are not Amazon. We are an independent website that earns commissions by referring customers to Amazon.
