Advertising Disclosure
Last Updated: November 19, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Mod Works, we believe in maintaining complete transparency with our visitors regarding our advertising relationships and practices. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising methods and partnerships.
We want you to understand any financial relationships that may exist when we mention, recommend, or link to products or services. This disclosure helps you make informed decisions about the information and recommendations you find on our website.
In accordance with Federal Trade Commission guidelines, we disclose that we may receive compensation for some of the products or services mentioned on this website. This disclosure applies to all forms of communication on our site including text, images, and any other content.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Programs Participation
Mod Works may participate in affiliate marketing programs from time to time. These programs allow us to earn commissions by linking to products or services offered by partner companies.
When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant. This comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations. We maintain editorial independence and only recommend products or services that we believe may be valuable to our audience.
Commission-Based Link Explanations
Some links on our website are affiliate links, meaning:
- If you click the link and purchase a product or service, we may earn a commission
- The commission comes from the merchant, not from you as the purchaser
- Your purchase price remains the same whether you use our link or not
- These commissions help support our website and the content we create
We will clearly identify affiliate links when practical, though please assume that some links throughout our site may be affiliate links.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product and service recommendations are based on:
- Our professional experience and expertise in arcade game modification
- Quality, reliability, and value for our audience
- Relevance to our visitors' needs and interests
- Industry standards and best practices
We never recommend products or services solely because of potential affiliate commissions. Our recommendations reflect our honest assessment and professional judgment.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We believe in full transparency about our financial relationships. When we have a financial interest in products or services we mention, we make reasonable efforts to disclose this relationship. Our goal is to maintain your trust while supporting our ability to provide valuable content and services.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Paid Content
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. This content is created in partnership with brands or companies who compensate us for featuring their products or services.
All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such using designations like "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," "Advertisement," or similar language. This ensures you can distinguish between independent content and paid partnerships.
Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
Our sponsored content labeling practices include:
- Clear and conspicuous disclosure at the beginning of sponsored articles
- Visual indicators distinguishing sponsored content from editorial content
- Transparent identification of the sponsoring brand or company
- Consistent labeling across all platforms and content formats
Brand Partnership Disclosures
When we enter into brand partnerships, we maintain editorial standards and ensure that sponsored content meets the same quality standards as our independent content. While we receive compensation for these partnerships, we maintain control over the content to ensure it provides genuine value to our audience.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Even in sponsored content, we commit to providing honest, accurate information. We do not publish misleading claims or false information, regardless of compensation received. Our reputation and your trust are more valuable than any individual sponsorship relationship.
