Affiliate Disclosure

1. What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing arrangement where we (SizeVibe) earn a commission for promoting products or services from retail partners. When you click on an affiliate link on our platform and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale.

Important: This does not increase the price you pay. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket.

2. Affiliate Program Status

Current Status: SizeVibe is actively building our affiliate marketing infrastructure and partnerships. As of December 2024, we are in the process of establishing relationships with major affiliate networks and brand partners.

Future Plans: We are working to join leading affiliate networks including AWIN, ShareASale, Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate), and Rakuten Advertising. We will also establish direct partnerships with fashion brands and retailers.

Transparency Commitment: This page will be updated as soon as we establish active affiliate partnerships. We will clearly disclose which networks and brands we work with once those relationships are formalized.

Note: Until we have active affiliate partnerships, product links on SizeVibe are informational only and do not generate commissions.

3. How Affiliate Links Work on SizeVibe

When you use SizeVibe, you may encounter affiliate links in several places:

3.1 Virtual Try-On Results

After generating a virtual try-on, you may see a "Shop This Look" section with links to purchase the items you tried on. These are typically affiliate links.

3.2 Outfit Gallery

Our curated outfit gallery features looks from influencers and our own stylists. Links to shop the items in these outfits are usually affiliate links.

3.3 Wardrobe Recommendations

When we suggest items that would complement your existing wardrobe or recommend similar products, these may include affiliate links.

3.4 Browser Extension

Our browser extension may provide styling suggestions and product recommendations, which may include affiliate links to retailers.

3.5 Email and Notifications

We may send you emails with style tips, product recommendations, or special offers that contain affiliate links.

4. How We Disclose Affiliate Links

We are committed to transparency and compliance with FTC guidelines and other applicable regulations. We disclose our affiliate relationships in the following ways:

• Clear Labeling: Affiliate links are labeled with text such as "Affiliate Link," "Shop Now" (with disclosure), or similar clear language.
• Disclosure Icons: We may use icons or badges to indicate affiliate links.
• Page-Level Disclosure: Pages containing affiliate links include a notice at the top or bottom of the page.
• This Disclosure Page: This comprehensive disclosure is always accessible from our website footer and linked from pages containing affiliate content.

5. Our Editorial Independence

We want to be absolutely clear about our editorial standards and independence:

5.1 Honest Recommendations

We only recommend products and brands that we genuinely believe will provide value to our users. The potential to earn a commission does not influence whether we recommend a product.

5.2 No Pay-to-Play

Brands cannot pay us to feature their products more prominently or to give them preferential recommendations. Our virtual try-on and styling recommendations are based on what we believe is best for you.

5.3 Multiple Options

When we provide product recommendations, we try to offer multiple options across different price points and styles, regardless of commission rates.

5.4 Honest Reviews

If we provide reviews or opinions about products, these are honest and based on actual experiences or research, not influenced by affiliate commissions.

6. Commission Structure

The commissions we earn vary depending on the retailer, product category, and affiliate network. Typical commission rates range from 2% to 15% of the purchase price, though some products may have higher or lower rates.

Important Facts:

• You never pay more because we earn a commission - prices are the same whether you use our link or not
• We earn commissions only on completed purchases, not on clicks
• Most retailers track purchases using cookies for 30-90 days after you click our link
• Commission rates do not influence which products we show you in virtual try-on or recommendations

7. Your Choices

7.1 Using Affiliate Links is Optional

You are never required to use our affiliate links. You can:

• Navigate directly to the retailer's website instead of clicking our link
• Search for the product yourself on your preferred shopping site
• Use price comparison tools to find the best deal

We provide affiliate links as a convenience, and we appreciate it when you choose to support us by using them, but the choice is always yours.

7.2 Blocking Affiliate Cookies

If you prefer not to be tracked by affiliate cookies, you can:

• Adjust your browser's cookie settings to block third-party cookies
• Use private/incognito browsing mode
• Install browser extensions that block tracking cookies
• Manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Consent banner

Please note that blocking cookies may affect your experience on some retailer websites.

8. Influencer and Creator Content

As part of our creator program, influencers and content creators may share outfit links on SizeVibe. These creators may earn a share of affiliate commissions generated from their content.

Disclosure: When you shop an outfit shared by a creator, both SizeVibe and the creator may earn commissions. This will be clearly disclosed on the outfit page.

9. Data and Privacy

When you click on affiliate links, the following information may be shared with our affiliate partners and the retailer:

• Click Data: The fact that you clicked on our affiliate link, timestamp, and referring URL
• Cookie Data: Affiliate networks use cookies to track whether you complete a purchase
• Purchase Data: If you complete a purchase, we receive aggregated transaction data (order ID, purchase amount, items purchased) but NOT your personal information or payment details

Your personal information, photos, measurements, and wardrobe data are NEVER shared with affiliate networks or retailers without your explicit consent.

For more details about data handling, see our Privacy Policy.

12. How Affiliate Commissions Will Support SizeVibe

We want to be transparent about how affiliate commissions will help us once our program is active:

• Free Features: Affiliate revenue will help us offer free features to all users, including virtual try-on quotas and basic wardrobe management
