You may see a product link
A guide or Kanso Approved review may link to a retailer when a product is relevant to the problem being discussed.
AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE
Transparency before the click.
Kanso may earn a commission from some product links. The relationship should be clear before you choose to click—and it never changes the standard a product must meet.
AMAZON ASSOCIATES
The permanent disclosure.
When Kanso uses Amazon Associates links, qualifying purchases may generate a commission for Kanso.
This site keeps the required Amazon Associates disclosure visible as part of its permanent transparency policy.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
The statement is intentionally plain. A commercial relationship should not be hidden inside fine print.
WHAT AN AFFILIATE LINK MEANS
A recommendation can earn revenue. It cannot earn approval.
Affiliate links support the long-term operation of Kanso, but they sit after the editorial decision—not before it.
Kanso may earn a commission
If the link is an affiliate link and a qualifying purchase is made, Kanso may receive compensation.
The recommendation standard stays the same
A commission is never a reason to approve a product, raise a score, hide a weakness, or create a recommendation.
LINK-LEVEL DISCLOSURE
The relationship should be visible near the recommendation.
A permanent disclosure page is not enough on its own. When Kanso uses a compensated Amazon link, the commercial relationship will also be identified near that link or recommendation.
#ad
Example of a short, clear disclosure placed close to an affiliate link.
Kanso avoids burying disclosures at the bottom of a long article or relying on language that a reader has to interpret.
EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Products do not set the agenda.
Kanso starts with the reader’s problem, the room, the routine, or the principle. A product appears only when it genuinely helps.
Every recommendation should still make sense if the possibility of commission disappeared.

WHAT CAN CHANGE AFTER PUBLISHING
Retail information moves faster than editorial guidance.
Product pages can change even when the Kanso article does not. Always confirm the current retailer information before purchasing.
Prices can change
A price seen during Kanso’s review may not be the price shown when you visit the retailer.
Stock can change
A product may become unavailable, change variant, or return under different buying conditions.
Buying conditions can change
Seller, offer, shipping, and product details may differ from the conditions checked when a recommendation was published.
NO PURCHASE REQUIRED
Kanso should still be useful if you buy nothing.
The library is built around ideas, habits, spatial thinking, and practical frameworks. Product links are optional tools—not the purpose of the content.
If removing every affiliate link makes a guide useless, the guide is not ready.
