Affiliate Disclaimer

Vanyage is a participant in various affiliate programs. This page explains how we use affiliate links and how this affects you.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that allow us to earn a commission when you click and make a purchase. These links are provided by third-party retailers and service providers.

Our Affiliate Relationships

We currently participate in affiliate programs with:

• Outdoor gear and van life equipment retailers
• Campground booking platforms
• Travel insurance providers
• Vehicle and conversion suppliers

When you see a product recommendation on our site with a link to a retailer, it may be an affiliate link.

What This Means for You

No extra cost to you: When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, you pay the same price as you would if you went directly to the retailer's website. The commission comes from the retailer, not from you.

Honest recommendations: We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will help van life enthusiasts. Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships. If a product doesn't meet our standards, we won't recommend it, regardless of affiliate potential.

Transparency: We strive to clearly identify affiliate links when possible. However, not every external link on our site is an affiliate link — some are purely informational references.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Running a free tool like Vanyage costs money:

• AI API costs (DeepSeek) for route generation
• Hosting fees (Vercel)
• Domain registration
• Ongoing development and maintenance

Affiliate commissions help us keep Vanyage free for everyone. Without them, we'd need to charge for features or show intrusive ads.

Our Commitment

• We will never recommend a product solely because of an affiliate relationship
• We clearly label affiliate links where feasible
• We do not alter our reviews or recommendations based on affiliate earnings
• We disclose our affiliate relationships openly, as required by the FTC

Third-Party Retailer Policies

Purchases made through affiliate links are subject to the retailer's own terms of service, privacy policy, and return policies. Vanyage is not a party to these transactions and is not responsible for the products or services provided by third-party retailers.
