Our Commitment to Transparency
At Arcadian, we believe in maintaining complete transparency about any advertising relationships and financial arrangements that may influence the content on our website. This disclosure explains how we may use advertising, affiliate relationships, and sponsored content in connection with our business.
We are committed to providing honest information about our services while complying with advertising standards and regulations, including guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Canadian advertising standards.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
We may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through links on our website. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.
How Affiliate Links Work:
- • When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission
- • This commission comes from the merchant, not from you as the purchaser
- • The price you pay is not affected by our affiliate relationship
- • We clearly identify affiliate links when they appear on our website
Product and Service Recommendations
When we recommend products, services, or tools that may benefit our clients or visitors:
- • We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe add value
- • Our recommendations are based on professional judgment and experience
- • We disclose any financial relationship that may influence our recommendations
- • We maintain editorial independence in our content decisions
Financial Transparency
We receive financial compensation through various affiliate relationships, which may include software tools, development platforms, game engines, localization services, and other resources relevant to game development. These relationships do not influence the quality or integrity of our professional services.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
