Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: December 2025

HBOTResearch.org is committed to transparency regarding our financial relationships and potential conflicts of interest. This page discloses all material facts about our affiliate partnerships and how they may influence the content on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that connect you to products or services. When you click an affiliate link on HBOTResearch.org and make a purchase, we receive a commission from the retailer or manufacturer. You pay the same price you would pay by visiting the retailer directly. The commission is paid by the retailer, not by you.

Affiliate commissions are our primary source of revenue. We rely on these earnings to maintain and operate HBOTResearch.org.

Our Affiliate Partners

HBOTResearch.org has affiliate relationships with the following partners:

HyperbaricPro.com. OxygenHealthSystems.com. Amazon Associates. AliExpress. Awin (affiliate network representing various brands and retailers). Impact (affiliate network representing various brands and retailers).

We may add, remove, or modify affiliate partnerships at any time. This disclosure reflects our current partnerships as of the last update date shown above.

Where Affiliate Links Appear

Affiliate links appear in the following types of content:

  • Product review articles.
  • Product comparison guides.
  • Product recommendation articles.
  • How-to guides that reference specific products.
  • Equipment specification guides.

Affiliate links do not appear in news articles, industry updates, or research summaries that do not involve product recommendations.

How Affiliate Commissions Influence Our Content

We are transparent about how affiliate relationships affect our editorial decisions:

Product Selection: Affiliate commissions influence which products we choose to review and feature on this website. We prioritize reviewing products from manufacturers and retailers with which we have affiliate relationships. Products without affiliate relationships receive less coverage.

Editorial Independence: Affiliate commissions do NOT influence how favorably or critically we review products. We maintain editorial independence in assessing product quality, performance, safety, and value. A product we have an affiliate relationship with receives the same rigorous evaluation as any other product. If a product has significant flaws or limitations, we report them regardless of our financial relationship with the seller.

We may feature competing products from different affiliate partners and evaluate each fairly based on its merits, performance, and suitability.

Conflict Of Interest Acknowledgment

Our primary revenue depends on affiliate sales. This creates a financial incentive to recommend products and drive purchases. You should be aware that:

  • We have financial motivation to encourage you to purchase products through our affiliate links rather than through other channels.
  • Products with higher commissions may receive more prominent placement or more favorable coverage, even if other products might be equally suitable.
  • Our coverage of products without affiliate relationships is limited because we have no financial incentive to promote them.
  • Our recommendations reflect products we earn commissions from, not necessarily a complete or unbiased survey of all available options.

Despite these financial incentives, we maintain editorial standards and do not misrepresent products or make false claims. However, you should be aware of our underlying financial motivations when evaluating our recommendations.

Affiliate Disclosure Badges

Articles containing affiliate links display an “Affiliate Disclosure” badge at the top of the article. This badge indicates that the article contains affiliate links and that we may earn a commission if you purchase through those links.

Sponsored Content

Some content on this website is sponsored by manufacturers, retailers, or other companies. Sponsored content is clearly marked as “Sponsored” at the end of the article. Sponsored content is paid advertising and not an independent editorial review.

In sponsored content, we may receive payment directly from the sponsor in addition to or instead of affiliate commissions. Sponsored content should not be interpreted as an unbiased editorial recommendation.

Price And Consumer Benefits

When you purchase through an affiliate link on HBOTResearch.org, you pay the same price as you would purchasing directly from the retailer. Affiliate commissions do not increase your cost.

In some cases, we negotiate discounts with retailers that benefit our readers. When this occurs, purchasing through our affiliate links may provide you with a better price than purchasing directly. We will clearly disclose any such discounts at the point of sale.

Affiliate Link Tracking

Affiliate links include tracking codes that identify purchases made through HBOTResearch.org. Retailers use this information to attribute sales to our site and determine our commissions.

Tracking data may include information about the products you view and purchase. Review the privacy policies of our affiliate partners for information about how they use tracking data.

Commission Rates

Commission rates vary by affiliate partner and product category. We do not disclose specific commission rates as these are proprietary business information and subject to change.

Commission rates do not influence our editorial decisions regarding product recommendations. We do not prioritize higher-commission products over lower-commission products in our reviews and recommendations.

Potential Conflicts Of Interest

Competitor Products: If a competitor of our affiliate partners launches or updates a product, we may be slower to review it or less likely to feature it prominently because we have no affiliate relationship and therefore no financial incentive. However, we reserve the right to review any product we deem relevant to our audience.

New Vs. Established Products: We may feature established products with which we have affiliate relationships more prominently than newer products without affiliate relationships, partly due to our financial incentives.

Product Coverage Gaps: Products that are highly relevant to HBOT research but are sold by retailers without affiliate programs may receive minimal or no coverage because we have no financial incentive to promote them.

Affiliate Network Incentives: Awin and Impact affiliate networks may offer bonus commissions, tiered incentives, or promotional rewards that could influence which products we feature or how we rank them.

You should be aware of these potential conflicts when evaluating our product recommendations.

How To Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links typically look like regular web links but include special tracking codes. You cannot always identify an affiliate link by appearance alone. However, articles containing affiliate links will display the “Affiliate Disclosure” badge at the top.

If you are unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, hover over it or check the URL for tracking parameters. You can also contact us for clarification.

Opting Out Of Affiliate Links

If you prefer to purchase products without going through our affiliate links, you can search for products directly on retailer websites. This prevents us from earning a commission but does not affect your price or purchase experience.

You have the right to make purchasing decisions independently and are under no obligation to use our affiliate links.

Financial Transparency

Affiliate commissions are our primary revenue source. We do not receive funding from manufacturers, investors, or advertisers beyond affiliate commissions and occasional sponsored content payments.

Our financial dependence on affiliate revenue creates incentives to maximize commissions. This influences which products we review and how prominently we feature affiliate content.

Editorial Standards Despite Affiliate Relationships

Despite our financial incentives, HBOTResearch.org maintains editorial standards:

  • We fact-check product claims and specifications.
  • We cite sources for all claims about product performance or efficacy.
  • We disclose significant product limitations or safety concerns regardless of affiliate status.
  • We do not make false or misleading claims about products. We do not recommend products we believe are unsafe or ineffective, regardless of commission rates.
  • We apply consistent evaluation standards to all products we review.

However, you should understand that our editorial standards do not eliminate the influence of our financial interests. We encourage you to independently research products, read reviews from multiple sources without financial interests, and consult qualified professionals before making purchasing decisions.

Product Comparisons And Rankings

When we compare multiple products, products with affiliate relationships may appear first, be featured more prominently, or receive more detailed coverage than products without affiliate relationships. This reflects our financial incentives and the types of products we choose to review.

Product rankings and comparisons are based on product quality, features, price, and suitability. However, products without affiliate relationships are less likely to be included in comparisons because we have less motivation to research and feature them.

Third-Party Reviews And Recommendations

If this website includes reviews or recommendations from external contributors, those contributors may have their own affiliate relationships or financial interests. These contributors are responsible for disclosing their own conflicts of interest.

HBOTResearch.org is not responsible for affiliate disclosures made by external contributors. Review each contributor’s disclosure carefully.

Questions Or Concerns

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, suspect undisclosed conflicts of interest, or have concerns about how our financial interests influence our content, contact us. We typically respond within 1-2 business days.

You can also file a complaint with relevant consumer protection agencies or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) if you believe we have violated affiliate disclosure requirements or engaged in deceptive practices.

Regulatory Compliance

This Affiliate Disclosure complies with:

  • Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides (United States).
  • Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidance (United Kingdom).
  • Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (United Kingdom).
  • General consumer protection laws in jurisdictions where our audience is located.

Different jurisdictions may have different requirements for affiliate disclosure. We aim to meet the highest standards across all jurisdictions where we have a significant audience.
