Affiliate Disclosure
Hey there, stylish shopper! Welcome to BudgetChicStyle.com, where I’m all about helping you find chic fashion on a budget, from ₹500 dresses to ₹300 earrings. As a mom running this site to support my son’s therapies, I want to be upfront about how we earn money to keep the deals flowing. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we use affiliate links and what that means for you. It’s short, sweet, and transparent—let’s dive in!
Last Updated: April 23, 2025
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
BudgetChicStyle.com includes affiliate links to products we love, like kurtis, sarees, or accessories from stores like Amazon India and Flipkart. These are special links that let us earn a small commission (e.g., 5–9% on a ₹800 kurti) if you make a purchase after clicking them. The best part? This doesn’t cost you a single paisa extra!
For example, if you click a link to a ₹500 pair of earrings on Amazon and buy them, we might earn ₹25–₹45. These commissions help keep the site free and support my family.
2. Our Affiliate Partnerships
We’re proud to partner with trusted affiliate programs, including:
- Amazon India Affiliate Program: Links to products like dresses, jewelry, and men’s shirts.
- Flipkart Affiliate Program: Links to similar budget-friendly fashion and accessories.
- Other Programs (in the Future): We may join additional programs (e.g., Myntra or Nykaa) as the site grows.
Each partner has its own terms, but we only promote products we believe in—think trendy, affordable, and perfect for you!
3. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running BudgetChicStyle.com takes time and resources (like hosting and domain costs). Affiliate commissions are our main way to:
- Keep the site free for you to explore budget fashion tips.
- Fund my son’s therapies, which is close to my heart.
- Create more content, like “Top 10 Budget Dresses Under ₹500” or styling guides.
We also plan to use Google AdSense for ads (after hitting 500+ visitors), but affiliate links are our primary focus for now.
4. Our Commitment to You
Transparency is everything! Here’s what you can expect:
- Honest Recommendations: We only link to products we’d genuinely recommend, like ₹500 sarees or ₹200 bangles that fit our budget-chic vibe.
- No Extra Cost: Clicking our affiliate links doesn’t increase the price you pay—it’s the same as shopping directly on Amazon or Flipkart.
- Clear Disclosure: We’ll always note when a post or page contains affiliate links (e.g., “This post contains affiliate links” at the top of blog posts).
- Compliance: We follow the rules of our affiliate partners and India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), 2023, plus global standards like the FTC’s guidelines for disclosures.
5. Cookies and Tracking
When you click an affiliate link, a cookie (a small text file) may be placed on your device to track your purchase. For example:
- Amazon India cookies last 24 hours, so if you buy within a day, we earn a commission.
- Flipkart cookies may last up to 30 days, depending on their terms.
These cookies don’t collect personal info like your name or address—just anonymous data to confirm a sale. Learn more in our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
6. Your Choices
You’re in control! If you don’t want to use our affiliate links, no worries—you can:
- Visit retailers like Amazon or Flipkart directly.
- Disable cookies in your browser settings (though this might affect site features).
- Clear cookies after browsing to start fresh.
Check our Cookie Policy for details on managing cookies.
7. Third-Party Responsibility
When you shop via our affiliate links, you’re buying from third-party retailers (e.g., Amazon India or Flipkart). We’re not responsible for:
- Product quality, availability, or pricing (prices can change fast!).
- Issues like shipping delays or returns—contact the retailer directly for support.
- Third-party site policies (check their Terms and Privacy Policies).
We pick reliable partners, but always review product details before buying.
