1. Introduction
Welcome to Shopkea (referred to as “we”, “our”, or “us”).
We believe in being open and transparent about how we operate and earn revenue.
Shopkea participates in affiliate marketing programs with various e-commerce platforms, brands, and merchants. This means that when you click on certain links to products or services on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a small affiliate commission or referral fee — at no extra cost to you.
These commissions help us maintain and improve our website, create valuable content, and continue offering free access to our product listings and recommendations.
2. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are unique tracking links provided to us by our partner brands or affiliate networks. When you click such a link and complete a purchase or action on the merchant’s website, the merchant tracks that referral and pays us a commission.
For example:
If we link to a phone on Amazon.in and you buy it through our link, we may earn a small percentage of the sale.
Importantly, this does not change the price you pay — it remains exactly the same as if you had visited the site directly.
3. Our Affiliate Programs and Partners
Shopkea is affiliated with several Indian and international affiliate networks, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates (Amazon.in)
- Flipkart Affiliate Program
- Cuelinks / Admitad / Impact / VCommission
- Individual brand or merchant affiliate programs
Each of these programs uses tracking cookies or identifiers to record when you click a link and make a purchase.
4. Editorial Independence and Objectivity
Even though we earn through affiliate commissions, our editorial content remains completely independent.
We recommend products based on their value, features, reputation, and usefulness — not based on potential commission earnings.
We never accept payments or incentives to promote a product unfairly.
Any sponsored or paid collaborations will be clearly labeled as such in accordance with ASCI and advertising regulations.
5. Transparency and Labelling
In compliance with ASCI Guidelines for Influencer Advertising (2021) and Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, we ensure that:
- All affiliate or paid promotions are clearly disclosed.
- Posts or links containing affiliate links will carry clear labels such as: “(Affiliate Link)”, “This page contains affiliate links”, or “We may earn a commission if you purchase through our links.”
- Such disclosures will be clear, prominent, and not hidden in footnotes or dropdowns.
This disclosure applies across all content — including our website, social media posts, newsletters, and advertisements.
6. No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does not affect your price.
You pay the same amount as you would if you visited the store directly.
In some cases, you may even receive a discount or special offer available only through our links.
7. No Responsibility for Third-Party Transactions
Please note that once you leave our website and are redirected to a partner or merchant site (such as Amazon, Flipkart, or any brand’s website), all transactions, payments, deliveries, and support are handled directly by that merchant.
Shopkea is not responsible for:
- Product availability or pricing changes
- Shipping, delivery, or return policies
- Any issues related to your purchase, warranty, or customer support
We encourage you to review the merchant’s terms, privacy policy, and return policy before making a purchase.
8. Legal Compliance and User Acknowledgement
This disclosure is made in accordance with:
- Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 (Rule 5 and Rule 6 on transparency and misleading advertisements)
- ASCI Code for Self-Regulation in Advertising
- IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021
- Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions of respective merchants
By using our website and clicking on affiliate links, you acknowledge and agree that:
- Shopkea may earn a commission from your purchases.
- You have read and understood this Affiliate Notice.
