Our Affiliate Relationship with Amazon
BestScanTools (bestscantools.in) is a participant in the following affiliate advertising programmes:
- 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 (US)
- Amazon Associates Programme — Linking to Amazon.co.uk (UK)
This means that when you click on certain product links on our website and subsequently make a purchase on Amazon, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether or not you click through our link.
FTC Disclosure (US Readers)
In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we are required to disclose when we have a material connection to products we recommend. Affiliate links represent a material connection. We disclose this prominently on every page containing affiliate links.
UK/EU Disclosure (UK & European Readers)
In accordance with the UK ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) guidelines and the CAP Code, affiliate content is identifiable as such. We mark affiliate links with rel="sponsored" in our HTML and include disclosure notices on all pages containing paid or affiliate links.
Does This Affect Our Reviews?
No. Our editorial content is completely independent of our affiliate relationships. We do not accept payment from manufacturers or brands to write positive reviews. Our recommendations are based on:
- Hands-on testing and research
- Expert knowledge of the automotive diagnostics industry
- Analysis of user reviews, specifications, and value for money
- Community feedback from mechanics and automotive technicians
We will always recommend the best product for the reader — even if we earn no commission from it, or earn a lower commission than an alternative product.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on this website typically:
- Link to Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- Contain our affiliate tag in the URL (e.g.,
tag=bestscantools-20) - Are labelled “Check Price on Amazon” or similar
- Are marked with a notice such as: “This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
Other Affiliate Programmes
From time to time we may participate in other affiliate programmes beyond Amazon. When this occurs, we will disclose the relationship clearly on the relevant page.
