Commercial transparency
Affiliate / Sponsored Content Disclosure
How AKonnects identifies referral relationships, sponsored material and other material connections.
1. Purpose
AKonnects may occasionally discuss, compare or link to software, platforms, books, events, professional services or other resources. This disclosure explains how a material commercial connection will be identified when one exists.
2. Affiliate and referral links
Some links may be affiliate or referral links. If a visitor follows such a link and later purchases or subscribes, AKonnects may receive a fee, commission, credit or other benefit from the provider. A material relationship should be disclosed clearly near the relevant link, recommendation or content.
A link is not represented as an affiliate link unless a relationship exists and is disclosed. Pricing, availability, eligibility and provider terms are controlled by the external provider and may change.
3. Sponsored content and paid collaborations
Content created or published in return for payment, access, travel, products, services or another material benefit should be labelled in language such as “Sponsored”, “Paid collaboration”, “Affiliate link” or another clear description suited to the context.
4. Editorial judgement
A commercial connection does not remove the need for accurate description and independent judgement. AKonnects aims to distinguish experience, opinion, evidence and promotional claims. Visitors should assess whether a product or service fits their own requirements before purchasing.
5. Healthcare and professional context
Referral or sponsorship disclosure does not convert general information into personalised medical, legal, financial or procurement advice. Healthcare-related decisions should be made with appropriately qualified professionals and the relevant evidence, risk review and organisational process.
6. External providers
External providers control their products, fulfilment, pricing, privacy, refunds, support and terms. AKonnects is not the seller merely because a disclosed referral link appears on the site, unless a page expressly says otherwise.
7. Questions
If a link or publication appears unclear, ask for clarification at dr.aman.kapoor@AKonnects.com. AKonnects can update a disclosure if a material relationship changes or was not described clearly enough.
