Advertising Disclosure

Participation in affiliate programmes

Orb Lab Mesh may, from time to time, include links to third-party products or services. Where we participate in an affiliate programme, we may receive a commission if you follow such a link and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for a service. Any such relationship will be clearly indicated.

Commission-based links

Where a link carries affiliate tracking, it functions identically to a standard link for you as the visitor — you pay the same price, and the commission comes from the merchant's budget, not from you. We note these links where they appear.

Editorial independence

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the editorial position of any content on this site. We do not recommend products or services solely because we may receive a commission. Affiliate income, where it occurs, is a secondary consideration.

Financial relationships disclosed

We disclose material financial relationships in line with applicable guidelines, including those of Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency and, where relevant, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Paid promotions

If any content on this site has been produced in exchange for payment, free products, or other compensation from a third party, it will be clearly identified as sponsored at the point of publication.

Labelling policy

Sponsored content will be labelled in a way that is clearly visible before you begin reading — not buried in footnotes or made ambiguous through styling choices. The label will use plain language: "Sponsored", "Paid partnership", or similar.

Brand partnerships

Where Orb Lab Mesh collaborates with an external organisation for a piece of content, the nature of that partnership is disclosed. We retain editorial control over the content produced, and partners do not have the right to approve or veto our conclusions.

Authenticity

Sponsored content reflects our genuine assessment of the subject where an assessment is made. We do not produce favourable content to order.
