Affiliate Disclosure & Shop Policy
In Compliance with FTC Guidelines (16 CFR § 255.5) • Hardball HQ LLC
The Short & Sweet Summary
ClankerCart is an independent review journal published by Hardball HQ LLC. When you click on certain links to tools, software, or services on our site and make a purchase or subscribe, we may earn an affiliate commission. This never costs you an extra penny. In fact, we frequently seek out special introductory rates, lifetime deals, or bonus trials for our readers.
How Affiliate Links Work
Affiliate links contain tracking identifiers that tell the software provider you discovered their service through ClankerCart. If you decide to subscribe, the vendor pays Hardball HQ LLC a small referral fee out of their pocket. This revenue supports our testing bench, server hosting, and coffee supply without requiring paid paywalls.
Our Uncompromising Editorial Independence
Commission rates never dictate our bench ratings. If a tool has confusing settings, high credit burn rates, or lackluster customer support, we call out the "grit in the gears" directly in our inspection report. Hardball HQ LLC strictly rejects partnerships with vendors whose products do not meet our sprocket-tight standards for non-technical users.
