Disclosures
How BuyVeto handles incentives.
How BuyVeto handles affiliate links, sponsored placements, reviewed data, editorial independence, and product-risk language.
Independence receipt
Money can be disclosed. The score cannot be bought.
BuyVeto can show affiliate or sponsored offer context near seller actions, but reviewed Veto Scores come from deterministic component math and evidence. Unknown public links stay unscored until reviewed evidence supports a final verdict.
Score locked first
Commission status, sponsorship, retailer availability, and seller preference do not change score components or verdict bands.
Disclosure near action
Affiliate or sponsored context belongs close to seller links and offer buttons, not hidden away from the buying action.
Public-link evidence gate
A pasted public link can create an unscored quick check, but it cannot create a final Veto Score by itself.
Checkout still matters
Visitors should still confirm final price, seller identity, return window, warranty terms, and fit before paying.
Affiliate links
Some links may earn BuyVeto a commission if a user buys through them. BuyVeto keeps this disclosure visible near offer surfaces and keeps scoring separate from link placement.
Score first
The Veto Score is computed from reviewed components, not from commission status.
Label near action
Affiliate or sponsored context must appear close to seller links and offer buttons.
No circular seller links
Reviewed products should not use BuyVeto product pages as seller destinations.
Sponsored placements
Sponsored offers must be labeled clearly. Sponsored status does not change the deterministic Veto Score, verdict threshold, or evidence text.
No paid score changes
Sponsors cannot buy lower Veto Scores, better verdicts, score-component edits, or evidence placement.
Clean trust pages
Privacy, terms, methodology, and disclosure pages should stay free of sponsor modules except policy text.
Ads outside evidence
Paid modules can sit near shopping actions, but they cannot appear as reviewed evidence or source receipts.
Advertising standards
BuyVeto may test low-density display, native, affiliate, or category-sponsor modules after traffic exists. The homepage Veto Lab, preliminary unscored quick checks, evidence rows, methodology, privacy, terms, and disclosures should stay clean unless a placement directly improves visitor trust.
Category sponsorships and offer modules must be labeled beside the relevant action. Paid relationships cannot change ranked reviewed products, lower-risk alternatives, verdict thresholds, reviewed evidence, or the no-login product-link workflow.
Reviewed and preliminary data
Public reviewed products use structured score components, source-linked product context, and labeled evidence. Unreviewed public links stay unscored until reviewed evidence supports a final Veto Score.
Newly pasted public product links can create preliminary review pages, but they do not get final scores, offers, or alternatives until BuyVeto has reviewed evidence.
What visitors should assume
Evidence can be incomplete
A Veto Score is a buying-risk signal, not a guarantee about every seller, batch, or future product version.
Seller terms can change
Always confirm final price, shipping, warranty, return terms, and seller identity before checkout.
Better evidence can change a verdict
Reviewed scores should change only when stronger evidence changes the component ratings.
