How affiliate links may support Boba.guide.
This disclosure explains how Boba.guide may earn compensation from qualifying referrals or purchases, how affiliate relationships are identified and how editorial independence is protected.
Does Boba.guide use affiliate links?
Boba.guide may include affiliate links to products, ingredients, equipment, books, retailers or other relevant services. When a reader follows an eligible link and completes a qualifying transaction, Boba.guide may receive a commission or other compensation.
The external seller determines eligibility, price, availability, shipping, returns, warranties and the attribution period. Using an affiliate link does not create a purchase agreement with Boba.guide.
What happens after a reader follows a link?
Referral identification
A retailer or affiliate platform may use a link parameter, cookie or other identifier to recognize that a visitor arrived from Boba.guide.
Qualifying transaction
If the reader completes an eligible purchase or action within the provider’s rules, the provider may credit Boba.guide with the referral.
Compensation
Boba.guide may receive a commission, fixed fee, credit or other form of compensation without becoming the seller of the product or service.
Do affiliate links increase the price?
Boba.guide does not add a separate charge when a reader follows an affiliate link. The seller controls the final price, discounts, taxes, shipping and other transaction terms.
Prices can change at any time, and the price shown by a retailer at checkout controls the transaction.
Check the seller’s current information
Product details, ingredients, availability, package size, specifications and pricing may change. Review the current listing, label and seller terms before purchasing.
How recommendations are separated from compensation
No guaranteed inclusion
Joining an affiliate program does not guarantee that a product or retailer will appear on Boba.guide.
No guaranteed ranking
Commission rates do not determine the order of products, brands, shops or recommendations.
No guaranteed praise
An affiliate relationship does not prevent criticism, limitations or negative findings from being published.
Relevant selection
Linked products should fit the page, audience and intended use rather than being added only because they pay commission.
Clear criteria
Recommendations may consider usefulness, quality, transparency, suitability, value and availability.
Ongoing review
Links or recommendations may be changed or removed when products, sellers, evidence or reader needs change.
Where will readers see a disclosure?
Pages containing affiliate relationships may include a disclosure near the beginning of the content, close to a recommendation block or in another location that is reasonably clear before a reader acts on the link.
Individual links may also use technical attributes such as rel="sponsored" or other
appropriate identifiers. Technical labeling does not replace a clear reader-facing disclosure.
What wording may be used?
Disclosures may explain that Boba.guide earns from qualifying purchases, may receive compensation from eligible referrals or uses affiliate links that can support the site.
The exact wording may vary with the page, program, platform and type of relationship, but it should not hide the commercial connection.
What may be linked through affiliate programs?
Ingredients
Tapioca pearls, tea, syrups, powders, jellies, sweeteners and other drink-making ingredients.
Kitchen tools
Pots, strainers, shakers, kettles, measuring tools, storage containers and preparation equipment.
Drinkware
Reusable cups, wide straws, sealing supplies, serving tools and related accessories.
Books and learning resources
Cookbooks, tea references and other relevant educational materials.
Retailers and marketplaces
External sellers offering products that may be relevant to a Boba.guide article or comparison.
Other approved services
Relevant subscriptions, tools or services may be included when they fit the site’s subject and standards.
What does an affiliate link not guarantee?
An affiliate link is not a warranty that a product is suitable for every recipe, kitchen, allergy, dietary need, budget or location. It is also not a guarantee of quality, durability, safety, availability or customer service.
Readers remain responsible for checking labels, specifications, seller policies and current information.
Who handles the purchase?
The retailer or service provider processes the order, payment, shipping, returns, refunds, warranties and customer support. Boba.guide is not the seller unless a page expressly states otherwise.
Questions about a transaction should be directed to the provider that completed the sale.
Can affiliate links use cookies?
Affiliate networks and retailers may use cookies, identifiers or referral parameters to attribute qualifying actions. Their data practices are governed by their own privacy notices and terms.
Boba.guide’s general approach to cookies and personal information is explained in the relevant site policies.
Commercial transparency matters
Readers should be able to understand when a link may generate compensation before making a decision. Affiliate relationships should never be disguised as neutral links or independent evidence.
Can affiliate relationships change?
Programs may change their terms, rates, attribution periods, product eligibility or geographic availability. Boba.guide may join, leave or replace programs without updating every historical reference immediately.
Broken, expired or unsuitable links may be removed or redirected to a more relevant destination.
How can a concern be reported?
For questions about an affiliate disclosure or a link that appears unclear, contact info@boba.guide and include the relevant page URL.
