1. Affiliate relationships

Path Spark Mesh may, from time to time, include links to third-party products or services on this site. Some of these links may be affiliate links — meaning that Path Spark Mesh could receive a commission if you click the link and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

—
Participation in affiliate programmes: Where affiliate links are present, this will be noted in the relevant content. Affiliate relationships do not influence our honest assessment of products or services.
—
Commission-based links: Commissions earned through affiliate links contribute to the operational costs of running this site. They do not affect the price you pay.
