Advertising Disclosure
Transparency about advertising
Node Orbit Grid believes you deserve to know about any relationships or arrangements that might influence the content you read on this site. This page explains our approach to advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored material in plain terms.
Last updated: 16 May 2025
Affiliate relationships
From time to time, Node Orbit Grid may include links to third-party products or services. Some of these may be affiliate links, meaning we may receive a commission if you make a purchase or take an action after clicking. This comes at no additional cost to you.
Commission-based links
Where affiliate links appear, they are used only for products or services that align with our focus on household sustainability in Japan. We do not promote products solely for commission.
Product recommendation policy
Any product or service mentioned on this site is referenced because it appears genuinely useful or relevant, not because of a financial arrangement. Where a financial relationship exists, it will be noted clearly near the relevant content.
Financial relationship transparency
Node Orbit Grid discloses all material financial relationships as required by applicable consumer protection guidelines, including relevant FTC principles where applicable.
Sponsored content
Occasionally, content on this site may be produced in partnership with a brand or organisation. When this is the case, it will be clearly labelled as sponsored or produced in partnership.
Sponsored post labelling
Any sponsored post or article will be clearly identified at the beginning of the piece. We do not disguise sponsored content as independent editorial.
Brand partnership disclosures
Where brand partnerships influence specific content, this will be disclosed in a visible manner near the relevant section.
Content authenticity
Node Orbit Grid maintains editorial independence over all content, including sponsored material. We will not alter factual information or express views we do not hold in order to satisfy a sponsor.
Identification of paid content
Paid placements and advertorials are distinguishable from our independent content. If you are ever unsure, you may contact us to enquire about any specific piece.
