Welcome to Black Star Kennels
We believe in being transparent with our readers. Some links on this website may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you purchase a product or service through certain links.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains how affiliate links work on Black Star Kennels and how they may affect our website.
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special links connected to an affiliate program or partner.
When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action, Black Star Kennels may receive a commission from the company or platform.
You do not pay an additional cost because you used an affiliate link.
In some cases, the price you pay may be the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit the seller directly.
2. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running a website involves costs such as hosting, domain registration, content creation, research, photography, website maintenance, and other expenses.
Affiliate commissions help support Black Star Kennels and allow us to continue creating dog and pet-related content.
Our goal is to recommend products and resources that we believe are relevant and useful to our readers.
3. Products We May Recommend
Black Star Kennels may publish buying guides, product reviews, comparisons, and recommendations covering products such as:
- Dog food
- Dog bowls
- Dog beds
- Dog collars
- Dog harnesses
- Dog leashes
- Dog toys
- Grooming products
- Dog shampoos
- Training products
- Dog travel products
- Dog accessories
- Pet-care supplies
- Other products relevant to dog owners
Some product links may be affiliate links.
4. Our Recommendation Policy
We aim to provide useful information rather than recommend products solely because they offer an affiliate commission.
When creating product-related content, we may consider factors such as:
- Product features
- Intended use
- Price
- Availability
- Customer feedback
- Brand information
- Product specifications
- Suitability for different types of dogs
- Our research and experience
However, product suitability varies from dog to dog.
A product that works well for one dog might not be suitable for another.
You should review the product details and manufacturer’s information before purchasing.
5. We Do Not Guarantee Every Product
An affiliate link does not mean that Black Star Kennels guarantees a product’s:
- Quality
- Safety
- Performance
- Durability
- Availability
- Price
- Suitability
- Effectiveness
Product information, pricing, availability, warranties, shipping, returns, and other terms are controlled by the relevant manufacturer, retailer, or marketplace.
Always check the latest information before purchasing.
6. Prices and Availability
Product prices can change without notice.
A price displayed in one of our articles might not match the current price shown by the retailer.
Products may also become unavailable, change specifications, or be replaced by newer models.
Where we display product prices, we recommend checking the retailer’s current listing before making a purchase.
7. Affiliate Relationships
Black Star Kennels may participate in affiliate programs operated by third-party companies, retailers, marketplaces, or other platforms.
These relationships may change over time.
We will update this disclosure when necessary to reflect relevant affiliate relationships.
This page does not mean that every link on Black Star Kennels is an affiliate link.
Some links are ordinary editorial or informational links.
8. Advertising
Black Star Kennels may also display advertisements from third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense.
Affiliate links and advertisements are separate forms of monetization.
The appearance of an advertisement or affiliate link does not automatically mean that Black Star Kennels endorses every claim, product, or service associated with it.
Third-party companies are responsible for their own products, services, policies, and advertising content.
9. Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not change our goal of providing useful information.
We aim to keep our editorial content separate from commercial relationships.
Where we review, compare, or recommend products, we aim to explain relevant features, benefits, limitations, and considerations rather than presenting every product as suitable for everyone.
We also encourage readers to conduct their own research.
10. Dog Food and Pet Health Products
Some articles may discuss dog food, supplements, grooming products, dental products, or other items related to pet health and well-being.
These recommendations are general information and are not personalized veterinary advice.
If your dog has allergies, a medical condition, dietary restrictions, or special health requirements, consult a qualified veterinarian before changing your dog’s diet or introducing a new health-related product.
11. Amazon and Other Retailers
Black Star Kennels may use affiliate links to third-party retailers and marketplaces.
If we participate in a specific retailer’s affiliate program, the relevant links may generate a commission when qualifying purchases are made.
Retailers operate independently from Black Star Kennels and have their own:
- Terms and conditions
- Privacy policies
- Return policies
- Shipping policies
- Product warranties
- Customer-service procedures
Please review the retailer’s current policies before completing a purchase.
12. International Readers
Black Star Kennels is based in Chandigarh, India, but our website serves readers in India and other countries.
Product availability, pricing, shipping, taxes, import duties, warranties, and affiliate programs can differ between countries.
A product available to an Indian reader might not be available to someone in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, or another country.
Always check the retailer’s regional website and current terms before purchasing.
13. Your Purchase Decision
You are responsible for deciding whether a product or service is suitable for you and your dog.
Before purchasing, consider:
- Your dog’s age
- Breed
- Size
- Weight
- Health
- Allergies
- Activity level
- Individual needs
- Product instructions
- Manufacturer recommendations
For important health or safety decisions, seek appropriate professional advice.
14. No Additional Cost From Our Affiliate Links
When applicable, using our affiliate links does not normally add an additional commission charge to your purchase.
The affiliate commission is paid by the participating company, retailer, or affiliate network according to its program terms.
The final price, shipping cost, taxes, and other charges are determined by the seller.
15. Transparency With Our Readers
We want you to know when our website earns money from a recommendation.
Our goal is to build a long-term relationship with our readers based on useful information and transparency.
We do not want you to purchase something simply because we linked to it.
Research the product, compare alternatives, read the current product information, and decide what works best for you and your dog.
16. Changes to This Disclosure
Affiliate relationships and monetization methods may change over time.
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure when our business practices, affiliate relationships, or applicable requirements change.
The updated version will appear on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
