and buy something, we earn a small commission — at zero extra cost to you. This is how we keep
the site free and independent. We never let affiliate relationships influence our reviews or
recommendations.
Amazon Associates Program
Universe Hardware 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.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that when you click on a
product link on our website and make a purchase on Amazon, we receive a small percentage of the
sale. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is exactly
the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on our Site, a small tracking cookie is placed on your browser.
If you make a purchase within 24 hours, the sale is attributed to our site and we receive a
commission (typically 1–4% depending on the product category). This cookie does not collect
personal information and is governed by Amazon’s privacy policy.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate commissions never influence our editorial content. Our reviews,
ratings, and recommendations are based entirely on product performance, features, and value.
We frequently recommend products that earn us lower commissions (or no commission at all) if
they are genuinely the best option for our readers.
We do not accept paid reviews or sponsored placements. All products are either purchased with
our own funds or received as evaluation units from manufacturers. In both cases, the
manufacturer has no editorial control over our content.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the
Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on the use of
endorsements and testimonials in advertising. We are committed to full transparency about our
affiliate relationships.
