Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: April 22, 2026

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how ElevateWithB.in ("we", "us", "our") earns revenue and discloses our relationships with third-party companies whose products or services we may recommend on this website. We believe in full transparency with our readers. This disclosure is provided in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255 ("Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising"), the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media, and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India).

1. What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship means that ElevateWithB.in has partnered with third-party companies — typically technology vendors, cloud providers, online learning platforms, cybersecurity tool makers, web hosting services, and software publishers — under an agreement where we may earn a commission, referral fee, or other compensation if you click a link on our website and take a qualifying action (such as signing up for a free trial, creating an account, making a purchase, or completing a form) on the partner's website.

These are commonly referred to as "affiliate links." We may also refer to them as "partner links," "referral links," or "sponsored links" depending on the context.

2. How We Identify Affiliate Links

We clearly identify affiliate links through one or more of the following methods:

  • An explicit statement at the beginning of the article (for example: "This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.")
  • The word "(affiliate)" or "(partner link)" placed next to the link
  • A dedicated disclosure paragraph in articles that focus on product reviews, comparisons, or recommendations
  • Marking sponsored posts clearly in the title, byline, or introduction

3. Affiliate Programs We May Participate In

ElevateWithB.in may participate in various affiliate programs. The following is a non-exhaustive list of categories and representative partners that we may have or may establish affiliate relationships with:

  • Cloud Computing: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, Linode (Akamai), Vultr
  • Cybersecurity: Bitdefender, Malwarebytes, NordVPN, ExpressVPN, LastPass, 1Password, Tenable, Kaspersky
  • Web Hosting and Domains: Hostinger, Bluehost, SiteGround, Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudways, Kinsta, WP Engine
  • Online Learning: Coursera, Udemy, Pluralsight, A Cloud Guru (Pluralsight), KodeKloud, LinkedIn Learning
  • Developer Tools: GitHub, GitLab, JetBrains, Visual Studio Code extensions marketplaces
  • SaaS and IT Tools: Notion, Zapier, Monday.com, ClickUp, ManageEngine, Atera
  • Books and Physical Products: Amazon Associates (Amazon.in and Amazon.com)

This list is not comprehensive and may change over time as we add or remove partnerships. The absence of a specific company from this list does not imply that we do not have an affiliate relationship with them, and the presence of a company does not guarantee that all links to that company on our site are affiliate links.

4. Amazon Associates Disclosure

As an Amazon Associate, ElevateWithB.in earns from qualifying purchases. This is a required disclosure under the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement. When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site and make a qualifying purchase on Amazon.in or Amazon.com, we receive a small commission from Amazon at no additional cost to you.

5. No Extra Cost to You

The commissions we earn from affiliate partners are paid by the partner company — not by you. You do not pay any extra amount when you use our affiliate links compared to visiting the partner's website directly. In many cases, our affiliate links provide you with discounts, free trials, bonus credits, or exclusive offers that are not available through the public website.

6. Our Editorial Independence

We maintain strict editorial independence from our affiliate partners. The presence of an affiliate link does not influence our editorial judgment. Specifically:

  • We only recommend products and services that we have personally used, tested, or that we believe would genuinely benefit our readers based on research.
  • We do not publish positive reviews in exchange for commission. If a product is flawed, outdated, or not suitable for our audience, we will say so regardless of commission potential.
  • Affiliate partners do not pre-approve, edit, or influence our articles. They may provide us with promotional copy, but we rewrite all content in our own voice.
  • Our tutorials, comparisons, and recommendations are based on technical merit, value for money for Indian learners and professionals, community reputation, and our firsthand testing where possible.

7. Sponsored Content

On occasion, we may publish sponsored content — articles, tutorials, or reviews — where a third party has paid us a flat fee (rather than a commission per action) to produce content about their product or service. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "In Partnership With [Brand Name]" at the top of the article, in the title, or in the byline. Sponsored content is subject to the same editorial standards as our non-sponsored content; we reserve the right to include balanced criticism where warranted.

8. Display Advertising (Google AdSense and Others)

ElevateWithB.in may display banner ads, native ads, and other advertising units served by third-party advertising networks including but not limited to Google AdSense, Ezoic, Mediavine, AdThrive, and Media.net. These ad networks use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

We do not control the specific ads shown on our website by these networks. Please see our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising cookies are used.

9. FTC Compliance (United States Readers)

In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising" (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose any "material connection" between us and the products or companies we recommend. A material connection is any relationship that might affect the weight or credibility of our recommendation in the eyes of a reader — including receiving commission, free products, paid placement, or other compensation.

10. ASCI Compliance (Indian Readers)

In accordance with the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media, we disclose material connections with brands whose products or services we promote. As required by the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, we also ensure that our promotional content is neither misleading nor deceptive regarding price, quality, or origin of the products described.

11. Your Responsibility as a Reader

While we strive to recommend only products and services we believe in, we are not responsible for your decision to purchase from any affiliate partner. Please conduct your own due diligence before making any purchase. Prices, features, availability, and promotional offers on partner websites may change without notice. Always verify the current price and terms on the partner's website before making a buying decision.

12. No Guarantees

We do not guarantee any specific result, outcome, or benefit from purchasing or using any product or service we recommend. Technology products, cloud services, training courses, and cybersecurity tools are complex — results will vary based on your individual circumstances, implementation, and ongoing usage. Any testimonials, case studies, or example outcomes described on our site are illustrative and not a guarantee of similar results for you.

13. Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our partnerships, regulatory requirements, or business practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the disclosure was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of ElevateWithB.in after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated disclosure.
