We are committed to maintaining your trust through honest and transparent communication about our advertising and monetization practices. This disclosure outlines:

Affiliate Relationships and Commissions
Affiliate Program Participation
Service Pro may participate in affiliate marketing programs offered by equipment manufacturers, parts suppliers, and service providers. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or engage a service, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
These affiliate relationships help support our business operations and allow us to continue providing valuable information and services to our clients.
How Affiliate Links Work
Commission-Based: We earn a percentage of qualifying purchases made through our affiliate links
No Extra Cost: Affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay for products or services
Product Selection: Our recommendations are based on professional assessment, not commission rates
Clear Disclosure: Affiliate links are identified where appropriate
Product and Service Recommendations
When we recommend equipment, parts, tools, or services, these recommendations are based on:
- Professional experience and technical knowledge
- Quality, reliability, and performance considerations
- Value and cost-effectiveness for clients
- Manufacturer reputation and support
- Suitability for specific maintenance applications
While we may earn commissions on some recommendations, our primary obligation is to provide honest, useful guidance that serves your best interests.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content and professional recommendations maintain independence from affiliate relationships. We do not allow affiliate partnerships to compromise the integrity of our advice or service quality.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Sponsored Material
We may occasionally feature sponsored content, paid advertisements, or promotional material from brands, manufacturers, or service providers. All sponsored content is clearly identified with labels such as:
- "Sponsored," "Advertisement," or "Paid Partnership"
- "Promoted Content" or "Featured Partner"
- Other clear disclosures indicating commercial relationships
Sponsored Content Policies
Clear Labeling: All sponsored content is prominently labeled to distinguish it from editorial content
Quality Standards: Sponsored content must meet our quality and relevance standards
Honest Reviews: We maintain editorial control over opinions expressed in sponsored content
Disclosure Timing: Sponsorship relationships are disclosed at the time of content publication
Brand Partnerships
We may enter into partnerships with equipment manufacturers, parts suppliers, and industry brands. These partnerships may include financial compensation, product samples for evaluation, or other business arrangements. Such relationships do not influence our professional service delivery or objective equipment assessments.
Content Authenticity
Even when content is sponsored, we strive to ensure that information provided is accurate, useful, and relevant to arcade maintenance professionals and venue operators. We do not compromise factual accuracy or professional standards for commercial relationships.
