Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: May 2026

The short version Some links on Ninaix are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships have no influence on our reviews, rankings, or recommendations. We only recommend products we have genuinely tested or researched.

What affiliate links are

When you click certain links on Ninaix and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This is called an affiliate commission. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate directly to the retailer. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not your pocket.

Affiliate commissions are how Ninaix funds independent editorial work — device purchases, testing time, writing, and site maintenance. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage, sponsored placements, or favourable rankings.

Affiliate programmes we participate in

Amazon Associates — We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and affiliated Amazon marketplaces.
Impact Radius — We use Impact as an affiliate network, through which we may have relationships with wearable brands and retailers including but not limited to Oura, Whoop, Garmin, and others.
Direct brand programmes — We may participate in affiliate programmes run directly by device manufacturers and retailers not listed above.

How to identify affiliate links

Affiliate links on Ninaix may or may not be visually distinct from regular links. We include disclosure statements at the top of articles that contain affiliate links — typically reading "Some links on this page are affiliate links." You should assume that any link to a product on a retailer's website (Amazon, brand stores, etc.) may be an affiliate link.

We do not use deceptive anchor text to obscure the destination of affiliate links. Links go where they appear to go.

Our editorial independence

🔒

Affiliate relationships do not influence rankings

The commission rate we earn on a product plays no role in its position in our rankings or best-of lists. A product with a higher affiliate commission rate will not be ranked higher than a better-performing product with a lower rate.

🚫

We do not accept payment for reviews or coverage

No brand, retailer, or affiliate network can pay for a positive review, a feature, or editorial coverage on Ninaix. Our reviews are based on independent testing and research. Devices are purchased by Ninaix or received as press loans returned after testing — not gifts conditional on positive coverage.

✍️

We recommend what we would recommend without commissions

If a product earns a recommendation on Ninaix, it is because it performs well for the use case described. If the affiliate programme for that product were removed tomorrow, our recommendation would not change. The Oura Ring 4 is our top sleep tracker pick because it earns it, not because of the commission rate.

👎

We include honest caveats and negatives

Every product review and recommendation on Ninaix includes honest limitations and downsides — not because it's legally required, but because it's the only way to give readers genuinely useful advice. A recommendation that omits real weaknesses isn't a recommendation, it's an advertisement.

FTC compliance

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose material connections — including affiliate relationships — that could affect how readers evaluate our content. This page, combined with in-article disclosures, fulfils that requirement.
