How affiliate funding is intended to work
Transparency matters especially on a health-information site. This disclosure describes both the stated business model and the current no-link implementation.
1. Declared business model
Sarnio has been designated as an affiliate-model website. Affiliate publishing generally means a publisher may receive a commission when a reader follows an identified commercial link and completes a qualifying action with a third party.
2. Current release: no active affiliate links
At the date of this disclosure, the supplied site contains no live affiliate links, no partner destination URL, no external sales call to action and no affiliate network identifier. Therefore visitors cannot generate an affiliate conversion through the current interface.
3. No partner has been named
No affiliate partner or network was provided. Sarnio does not invent a partner, merchant, commission rate or commercial relationship.
4. What should happen if links are added later
Before an affiliate link is introduced, the operator should ensure the commercial relationship is lawful and appropriate for the product or service, update this disclosure and relevant privacy/cookie text, label commercial links clearly, and avoid presenting paid placement as independent medical advice.
5. Price impact
Because no current affiliate offers are linked, there is no current affiliate transaction through which Sarnio can affect a purchase price. In a future affiliate arrangement, whether a commission changes the consumer price depends on the partner's terms and should be disclosed accurately rather than assumed.
6. Editorial independence
Editorial content should not be changed to create unsupported health claims for the purpose of earning commission. Medical statements should remain evidence-aware even where a future commercial relationship exists.
7. Health-product promotions
Kenya's Pharmacy and Poisons Board publishes requirements for the advertising and promotion of health products and technologies and emphasises factual, evidence-based, non-misleading communication. Any future commercial health-product content must be reviewed against the regulatory requirements that apply at that time.
8. Reviews and rankings
This release contains no invented customer reviews, star ratings, “doctor recommended” badges or paid rankings. If reviews are ever used, they should be genuine and their commercial context disclosed.
9. Identification of links
If affiliate links are added later, they should be identifiable at or near the point where the user sees them, not disclosed only on a distant legal page.
