Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

Effective date: July 23, 2026
Last updated: July 23, 2026

BareAnime believes readers should understand when our content may generate revenue.

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how BareAnime may earn commissions or receive other benefits through affiliate links, product recommendations, sponsorships, free products, and other commercial relationships.

In this disclosure, “BareAnime,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to BareAnime. “You” and “your” refer to readers, viewers, subscribers, customers, and other users of our content and services.

1. Affiliate Relationships

BareAnime may participate in affiliate-marketing programs.

An affiliate link is a specially tracked link that allows a retailer, platform, or affiliate network to determine that a visitor reached its website through BareAnime.

When you select an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase or another eligible action, BareAnime may receive a commission or other compensation.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • You do not pay an additional amount because you used our affiliate link.
  • The retailer or affiliate program pays the commission.
  • BareAnime does not control the retailer’s prices, inventory, shipping, returns, warranties, or customer service.
  • Not every link on BareAnime is an affiliate link.

2. Amazon Associates Disclosure

BareAnime participates or may participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate-advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and related Amazon properties.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Prices, availability, product details, ratings, and promotions displayed by Amazon may change at any time. BareAnime does not control Amazon’s product listings or business practices.

Amazon purchases are governed by Amazon’s own terms, policies, warranties, shipping rules, and return procedures.

3. Other Affiliate Programs

BareAnime may participate in additional affiliate programs involving:

  • Anime and manga merchandise
  • Books and collected manga volumes
  • Blu-rays and physical media
  • Streaming services
  • Gaming products
  • Electronics
  • Video and audio equipment
  • Website tools
  • WordPress products and services
  • Content-creation software
  • Online retailers
  • Print-on-demand services
  • Other products or services relevant to BareAnime’s audience

The specific retailer or provider may be identified through the link, the surrounding content, or an accompanying disclosure.

BareAnime may update or change its affiliate relationships without immediately revising every older article, provided applicable disclosures remain clear and accurate.

4. Disclosures Within Articles and Other Content

BareAnime will make reasonable efforts to place a clear affiliate disclosure near affiliate recommendations or links.

A disclosure may appear:

  • Near the beginning of an article
  • Before a product list
  • Near an individual affiliate link
  • Within a product-comparison section
  • In a video description
  • Within a social-media post
  • Before or near a newsletter recommendation

Examples may include:

  • “This article contains affiliate links.”
  • “BareAnime may earn a commission from purchases made through links in this article.”
  • “Affiliate link.”
  • “Paid link.”
  • “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

A link to this full Affiliate Disclosure provides additional detail but does not replace a clear disclosure placed near affiliate content when one is required.

5. Editorial Independence

Affiliate compensation does not automatically determine BareAnime’s opinions or conclusions.

We aim to base recommendations on factors such as:

  • Relevance to the audience
  • Product features
  • Quality
  • Price
  • Availability
  • Personal experience
  • Research
  • Customer feedback
  • Suitability for the subject being discussed

However, affiliate compensation creates a financial interest that readers should consider when evaluating a recommendation.

BareAnime may choose to feature products or services that offer an affiliate program. We may also discuss products for which no affiliate relationship exists.

Inclusion does not guarantee that a product is the best option for every reader.

6. No Guarantee of Product Quality or Suitability

BareAnime’s discussion or recommendation of a product does not guarantee:

  • Product quality
  • Safety
  • Availability
  • Accuracy of a retailer’s description
  • Compatibility
  • Performance
  • Authenticity
  • Delivery time
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Fitness for a particular purpose

You are responsible for reviewing product details and deciding whether a purchase is appropriate for you.

Before purchasing, you should consider:

  • Current pricing
  • Product specifications
  • Size or compatibility information
  • Seller reputation
  • Shipping terms
  • Return and refund policies
  • Warranties
  • Safety instructions
  • Customer reviews

7. Prices and Availability

Product prices and availability may change after BareAnime publishes an article, video, newsletter, social-media post, or other recommendation.

Although we may update older content, BareAnime does not guarantee that every displayed price, sale, discount, product description, or availability statement remains current.

The price and terms shown by the retailer at the time of purchase control the transaction.

8. Sponsored Content

BareAnime may receive payment to create or publish sponsored content.

Sponsored content may include:

  • Sponsored articles
  • Sponsored videos
  • Paid social-media posts
  • Brand integrations
  • Product placements
  • Newsletter sponsorships
  • Advertiser-created material
  • Paid promotional campaigns

Where required, sponsored material will be identified using clear language such as:

  • Sponsored
  • Advertisement
  • Paid Partnership
  • Sponsored by [Brand]
  • This content was created in partnership with [Brand]

A sponsor may provide information, products, access, or compensation. Unless clearly stated otherwise, BareAnime retains control over its opinions and editorial conclusions.

Advertiser-created content may reflect the advertiser’s message rather than BareAnime’s independent editorial opinion and will be labeled accordingly.

9. Free Products, Review Copies, and Complimentary Access

BareAnime may receive products, services, review copies, event access, subscriptions, samples, merchandise, or other benefits at no cost or at a discount.

When that relationship could affect how a reasonable person evaluates the content, BareAnime will disclose it clearly.

A disclosure may state:

  • “This product was provided free for review.”
  • “BareAnime received complimentary access.”
  • “The publisher provided a review copy.”
  • “This post contains a gifted product.”

Receiving something for free does not guarantee positive coverage.

10. Reviews and Opinions

BareAnime aims to provide honest opinions and descriptions based on the information reasonably available at the time of publication.

When content reflects personal experience, we will avoid presenting that experience as a guaranteed result for every person.

Opinions may change as:

  • Products are updated
  • Prices change
  • Better alternatives become available
  • New information is released
  • Services change ownership or policies
  • We gain additional experience

BareAnime does not accept payment in exchange for knowingly making false claims or concealing material product defects.

11. Affiliate Tracking and Cookies

Affiliate retailers and networks may use:

  • Cookies
  • Tracking identifiers
  • Pixels
  • Referral codes
  • Link parameters
  • Device information
  • Similar attribution technologies

These technologies may record that you reached the retailer through BareAnime and may determine whether BareAnime receives a commission.

Affiliate tracking is controlled primarily by the retailer or affiliate network.

For more information about tracking technologies and your choices, review our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

12. Purchases Through Third Parties

Selecting an affiliate link may take you to a website operated by another company.

Your purchase is made from that third party, not from BareAnime, unless the product is specifically sold through Shop.BareAnime.com.

For third-party purchases, BareAnime is generally not responsible for:

  • Processing the payment
  • Fulfilling the order
  • Shipping
  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Product warranties
  • Customer service
  • Data collection
  • Website security
  • Seller disputes
  • Product recalls

Contact the retailer or seller directly concerning a third-party transaction.

13. BareAnime Shop Products

Products sold directly through Shop.BareAnime.com are governed by BareAnime’s shop policies, including its:

  • Terms and Conditions
  • Refund and Return Policy
  • Shipping and Delivery Policy
  • Privacy Policy

A link to a product sold directly by BareAnime is not necessarily an affiliate link because BareAnime may be the seller.

However, products listed on BareAnime that lead to an outside retailer may be affiliate products.

14. Affiliate Links in Newsletters

BareAnime newsletters may contain affiliate links and sponsored recommendations.

When a newsletter contains affiliate links, it may include a disclosure near the beginning of the email or before the relevant recommendation.

Unsubscribing from BareAnime’s newsletter will stop future marketing emails after the request is processed, subject to legally necessary transactional communications.

15. Affiliate Links in Videos

BareAnime videos may include affiliate recommendations in:

  • The spoken content
  • On-screen text
  • Video descriptions
  • Pinned comments
  • Livestream descriptions
  • Linked product sections

Where appropriate, BareAnime will disclose the relationship in the video itself and near the affiliate links in the description.

A disclosure placed only after a viewer must select “Show more” may not always be sufficiently visible by itself. BareAnime may therefore place disclosure language near the beginning of the description and mention the relationship in the video when the endorsement is central to the content.

16. Affiliate Links on Social Media

BareAnime may share affiliate links through social-media platforms.

Social posts containing affiliate links may use clear disclosure language such as:

  • Ad
  • Affiliate link
  • Paid link
  • I may earn a commission from this link
  • As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases

The disclosure should appear within the post or message where it can be seen without relying only on a profile biography or separate webpage.

BareAnime will not rely solely on vague terms such as:

  • Partner
  • Collab
  • Ambassador
  • Support BareAnime

when those terms do not clearly communicate the financial relationship.

17. Coupons, Discounts, and Referral Codes

BareAnime may share discount codes or referral codes.

BareAnime may receive:

  • A commission
  • Store credit
  • Free products
  • Account benefits
  • Performance-based compensation
  • Another benefit

when a code is used.

Where the benefit is not obvious, BareAnime will disclose the relationship.

A discount offered to you does not necessarily mean BareAnime receives compensation, but any material relationship will be disclosed where required.

18. Comparison and Ranking Content

BareAnime may publish rankings, comparisons, buying guides, or “best” product lists.

A product’s position may reflect multiple factors, including:

  • Editorial judgment
  • Relevance
  • Features
  • Price
  • Availability
  • Research
  • Testing
  • Personal experience
  • Audience needs
  • Affiliate availability

Affiliate compensation may influence which commercially available products BareAnime is able or willing to evaluate, but it should not be presented as proof that a product is objectively superior.

Terms such as “best” reflect BareAnime’s editorial assessment within the criteria described or reasonably implied by the content.

19. User-Submitted Affiliate Links

Unless BareAnime expressly permits them, users may not place affiliate, referral, or promotional links in:

  • Comments
  • Profiles
  • Theory submissions
  • Community posts
  • Private messages
  • Reviews

Users must disclose any financial relationship connected to a recommendation.

BareAnime may remove undisclosed or unauthorized promotional links and may restrict accounts used primarily for affiliate spam.

20. No Professional or Financial Advice

Affiliate recommendations are provided for informational and commercial purposes.

They are not financial, investment, legal, tax, medical, or other regulated professional advice.

You are responsible for evaluating your own needs and circumstances before making a purchase.

21. Changes to This Disclosure

BareAnime may update this Affiliate Disclosure when:

  • We join or leave an affiliate program
  • We add sponsorships
  • Our content formats change
  • Laws or industry requirements change
  • A platform changes its disclosure rules

The “Last updated” date will identify the latest version.
