# ExDoll affiliate disclosure > How ExDoll identifies commercial links to the ExDoll store, distinguishes source photographs from editorial artwork, and documents its evidence limits. Source: https://exdoll.org/disclosure/ Updated: 2026-10-21 --- ExDoll is an informational publication for adults researching dolls. The current issue includes commercial price links to the ExDoll store at [exdollofficial.com](https://www.exdollofficial.com/). Global price buttons open the store homepage; individual catalog buttons open the relevant manufacturer listing. We do not operate the checkout, publish paid rankings or claim an official appointment by the manufacturer. ## How commercial price links work An affiliate link can result in a commission if a reader follows it and completes an eligible action with the partner. The exact arrangement depends on the program. A commission is a commercial relationship, not evidence of product quality. A disclosure appears before the first commercial link on each page. Links are marked sponsored; a commission may apply where an applicable referral arrangement exists. No particular program enrollment or commission rate is asserted. We will not describe a hypothetical partner payment as a price available to the reader. Program payouts and consumer prices are different figures. A future price claim needs a dated source for the actual product configuration. If we cannot establish a live price, the page should explain the uncertainty rather than invent a precise amount. ## What disclosure does and does not mean Disclosure helps readers understand a recommendation's commercial context. It does not make an unsupported statement reliable. Claims about materials, finish or physical handling need their own evidence. A commissioned illustration cannot become evidence of a reviewed product because a link has been labeled sponsored. A commercial relationship must not be used as a substitute for an assessment method. A useful recommendation should still explain limitations and identify who would find the product unsuitable. If a page ranks products, its method should be understandable independently of the links it contains. ## Standards for commercial links Commercial links must be identifiable in the page and carry the appropriate sponsored relationship. Internal price redirects lead directly to the selected store destination in one hop. They carry noindex/nofollow response headers. We do not publish a partner route for a placeholder business or a demonstration offer. External source links are different from affiliate offers. They support the explanation and remain subject to the destination's own policies. A reference to a manufacturer manual does not establish that the business approves our analysis or has granted us a commercial appointment. ## Independent context and editorial limits The [FTC guidance on endorsements](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking) provides useful background on disclosure. Our practical standard is to keep the commercial relationship visible while requiring separate support for factual product claims. A store link does not establish that the manufacturer endorses this publication or that we have tested its products. Read the [methodology](/methodology/) for the distinction between specifications and physical assessments. We publish no direct commercial contact address or editorial form. The [reporting page](/report-abuse/) explains external paths for a problem with a seller. We revise this policy when the site's commercial behavior or selected store destination changes.
