1. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special links provided by retailers, manufacturers, or affiliate networks. These links may contain tracking codes that allow the third party to recognize that a visitor arrived from DecatHome.

If you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase or another eligible action, DecatHome may receive a commission or referral fee from the third party.

Not every link on DecatHome is an affiliate link. We may also link to manufacturers, support pages, product manuals, government resources, technical documentation, and other informational sources without receiving compensation.

2. Does It Cost You More?

Using an affiliate link generally does not increase the price you pay. The retailer pays any applicable commission to DecatHome from its own marketing or affiliate budget.

Product prices, discounts, shipping costs, taxes, subscription charges, warranties, return conditions, and other purchase terms are determined by the retailer or service provider.

You are free to visit a retailer directly instead of using an affiliate link.

3. Our Editorial Independence

DecatHome aims to provide independent, practical, and honest smart home security information. Affiliate relationships do not determine our opinions, conclusions, ratings, comparisons, or recommendations.

4. How We Evaluate Products

DecatHome reviews and buying guides may consider factors such as:

• Installation difficulty and setup requirements;
• Build quality and product design;
• Video, audio, lock, alarm, or sensor performance;
• Application quality and ease of use;
• Wi-Fi, hub, and smart-home compatibility;
• Notification speed and connection reliability;
• Battery life and power requirements;
• Cloud storage and local storage options;
• Subscription fees and ongoing costs;
• Privacy and security features;
• Warranty and customer-support information;
• Suitability for homeowners, renters, or apartments; and
• Overall value compared with similar products.

Not every product is suitable for every household. We therefore aim to explain who may benefit from a product and who may need to consider an alternative.

5. Forms of Compensation

DecatHome may receive compensation through:

• Commissions from qualifying purchases;
• Referral fees for eligible leads or actions;
• Affiliate-network performance incentives;
• Sponsored placements that are clearly identified;
• Advertising displayed on the website; or
• Products or services provided for evaluation.

The type and amount of compensation may vary depending on the retailer, affiliate network, product category, transaction, or campaign.

6. Sponsored Content

DecatHome may occasionally publish sponsored content or participate in a paid collaboration. When content is sponsored, paid for, or created in cooperation with a commercial partner, we aim to identify that relationship clearly.

Sponsored content does not automatically guarantee a positive conclusion. We aim to maintain editorial control and avoid publishing claims that we believe are misleading or unsupported.

7. Free Products and Review Samples

A manufacturer, retailer, or public-relations representative may sometimes provide a product, sample, temporary review unit, subscription, or service access for evaluation.

When a product is received without charge or under special review conditions, we aim to disclose that relationship within the relevant content.

Receiving a free product does not guarantee publication, positive coverage, a favorable rating, or inclusion in a recommended-products list.

8. Third-Party Retailers and Affiliate Partners

When you click an affiliate link, you leave DecatHome and visit a third-party retailer, manufacturer, affiliate network, or service provider.

DecatHome does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their:

• Product descriptions or advertising claims;
• Prices, discounts, taxes, or shipping charges;
• Inventory or product availability;
• Payment processing;
• Delivery times;
• Return and refund policies;
• Warranty services;
• Customer support;
• Privacy practices; or
• Website security and accessibility.

Please review the retailer’s current policies and product information before completing a purchase.

9. Product Prices and Availability

Product prices, offers, availability, specifications, subscription plans, and promotional terms can change without notice.

Although DecatHome aims to provide accurate and useful information, the price or availability displayed by the retailer at the time of purchase controls the transaction.

Product images and names may belong to their respective manufacturers, retailers, or trademark owners and may be used for identification and informational purposes.

10. Affiliate Tracking and Cookies

Affiliate partners may use cookies, tracking parameters, pixels, or similar technologies to record referrals and determine whether a commission is payable.

These technologies may collect limited information such as:

• The affiliate link selected;
• The referral source;
• The date and time of the click;
• A browser or device identifier;
• General transaction information; or
• Whether an eligible purchase or action was completed.

Third-party affiliate partners process information according to their own privacy policies. For more information about how DecatHome handles information, please read our Privacy Policy.

11. Your Purchasing Responsibility

DecatHome content is provided for general informational purposes. Product recommendations should not replace your own research, professional security advice, or an evaluation of your property’s individual risks.

Before purchasing or installing a smart home security product, consider:

• Your property type and security requirements;
• Installation instructions and electrical requirements;
• Door, lock, hub, Wi-Fi, and device compatibility;
• Subscription and storage costs;
• Landlord or property-management restrictions;
• Applicable building, privacy, and recording laws; and
• The retailer’s warranty and return conditions.

You are responsible for deciding whether a product or service is appropriate for your needs.
