Affiliate Program Participation

Pingwish participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you purchase products through certain links on our website. This is a material connection that could affect our recommendations and content.

Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and other Amazon websites. When you click on Amazon product links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Other Affiliate Partnerships: We may also participate in other affiliate programs with various retailers and service providers. These partnerships allow us to earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through our referral links.

Financial Disclosure and Transparency

No Additional Cost to You: Affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay for any product or service. The retailer pays us a commission from their profits, not from your payment.

Product Recommendations: While we may earn commissions from affiliate links, our product recommendations and content are based on our genuine opinions and research. We only recommend products and services that we believe will provide value to our users.

Identification of Affiliate Links: We strive to clearly identify affiliate content, though not every individual link may be specifically marked. By using our service, you acknowledge that some links may be affiliate links that generate commissions.

Legal Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with:

• The US Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials
• EU Consumer Rights Directive requirements for commercial relationships
• Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement requirements
• Austrian and European advertising disclosure laws

User Rights: You are not obligated to use our affiliate links. You can always navigate directly to retailers' websites to make purchases without generating commissions for us.

External Website Disclaimer

Third-Party Links: Pingwish provides links to external websites, including retailers, affiliate partners, and other service providers. We are not responsible for:

• The content, accuracy, or availability of external websites
• The privacy practices or terms of service of third-party sites
• Any transactions, purchases, or interactions you have with external sites
• Product quality, delivery, customer service, or returns from third-party retailers
• Any losses or damages arising from your use of external websites

No Payment Processing

Transaction Disclaimer: Pingwish does not process payments or handle transactions. All purchases are made directly with third-party retailers. We do not collect, store, or process any payment information including credit card details, billing addresses, or financial data.

Purchase Issues: For any issues with purchases, including product defects, delivery problems, returns, or refunds, you must contact the respective retailer directly. Pingwish has no involvement in the fulfillment of orders or resolution of purchase-related disputes.

Applicable Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Austria. If any part is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts remain in effect.

Dispute Resolution

Jurisdiction: Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Vienna, Austria, except where consumer protection laws of your residence require otherwise.

EU Online Dispute Resolution: For European Union residents, we inform you of the existence of the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: https://consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu/index_de. However, as Pingwish is a free service that facilitates links to third-party retailers rather than selling products directly, this platform may not be applicable to disputes involving our service.
