Last updated: November 19, 2025

At Service Pro, we believe in complete transparency regarding our business relationships and how we generate revenue. This Advertising Disclosure explains our policies on affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and advertising practices to help you make informed decisions.

Our Commitment to Transparency

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

  • How we may earn commissions from affiliate partnerships
  • Our policies regarding sponsored content and paid promotions
  • How third-party advertising networks may be used on our site

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.
