Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: December 11, 2025

At Gear Scanner, we believe in transparency. This disclosure explains how we earn money and how it may affect the content you see on our website.

How We Make Money

Gear Scanner is a free price comparison service for motorcycle gear. We earn money through affiliate marketing, which means:

• When you click on a product link on our website and make a purchase at a third-party retailer, we may receive a small commission from that retailer.
• You pay the same price whether you click through our website or go directly to the retailer. The commission comes from the retailer, not from you.
• These commissions help us maintain and improve the Gear Scanner service, keeping it free for users like you.

Our Affiliate Partnerships

We participate in affiliate programs with various retailers and affiliate networks, including but not limited to:

Affiliate Networks

• Awin - A global affiliate marketing network
• Impact - A partnership management platform
• Commission Junction (CJ) - An affiliate marketing network

Retailers

We work with numerous motorcycle gear retailers including (but not limited to): RevZilla, FC-Moto, ChromeBurner, SportsBikeShop, Louis, Motocard, and others.

Our Commitment to You

Editorial Independence

Our product listings and comparison results are not influenced by commission rates.

We do not:

• Rank products higher because they pay higher commissions
• Exclude products from retailers who don't have affiliate programs
• Recommend products solely because we earn commissions from them

Transparency

We strive to be transparent about our affiliate relationships:

• Links that may result in commissions are clearly product comparison links
• We display all available prices, not just from affiliate partners
• This disclosure is prominently available on our website

Accuracy

We make every effort to ensure prices and product information are accurate. However, prices and availability change frequently, so always verify the current information on the retailer's website before making a purchase.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that we disclose any material connections we have with the companies whose products we feature.
