Affiliate Disclaimer

1 Affiliate Relationships

The Strong Shield ("we," "us," or "our") participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that certain links on our website — including links to products, courses, books, and preparedness resources — are affiliate links. When you click on one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission or other form of compensation from the seller or affiliate network at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate income helps support the ongoing operation of this website and allows us to continue creating free preparedness content, biblical encouragement, and family-focused resources for our community.

2 ClickBank Affiliate Disclosure

The Strong Shield is an independent affiliate of ClickBank. ClickBank is a registered trademark of Keynetics Inc., a Delaware corporation. We are not endorsed, approved, or otherwise affiliated with ClickBank's parent company in any way, and our relationship with ClickBank is that of an independent affiliate.

Some products and digital resources featured or linked on this website are sold through the ClickBank marketplace. When you purchase a ClickBank product through a link on this site, we may receive an affiliate commission. ClickBank's role as a retailer does not constitute an endorsement, approval, or review of these products or any claim, statement, or opinion used in the promotion of these products.

ClickBank handles all payment processing for these products. Please refer to ClickBank's own terms of service and privacy policy at clickbank.com for information on their practices.

3 No Additional Cost to You

Using our affiliate links will never increase the price you pay for a product or service. In many cases, our affiliate partnerships allow us to negotiate special pricing or bonus content for our audience. The commission we receive, if any, comes entirely from the seller's side of the transaction.

You are never under any obligation to purchase anything through the links on this site. If you prefer, you may search for and purchase any recommended product directly through the seller's website without using our affiliate link.

4 Honest Opinions & Genuine Endorsements

We only recommend products, services, and resources that we genuinely believe offer real value to our audience. Our editorial content is guided by our mission: equipping Christian families with practical, faith-grounded preparedness knowledge.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest assessment of a product. If we have concerns about a product, we will note them — or we simply will not promote it. Our relationship with our readers is built on trust, and we take that seriously.

Any opinions, reviews, or recommendations expressed on this site are our own and are not provided, reviewed, or approved by any affiliate partner or advertiser prior to publication, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

5 Results Disclaimer & Typicality

Any results, testimonials, success stories, or performance claims referenced on this website are illustrative of what is possible and are not a guarantee that you will achieve the same or similar results. Individual outcomes will vary based on many factors, including but not limited to personal effort, prior experience, local conditions, family size, geography, and available resources.

Preparedness is a personal journey. We encourage every family to evaluate their own unique situation, seek appropriate professional advice where necessary (including medical, financial, or legal guidance), and use the resources we recommend as a starting point rather than a definitive solution.

Results mentioned on this site are not typical and should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of any specific outcome.

6 Third-Party Products & Services

When we link to third-party websites, products, or services — whether through affiliate links or otherwise — we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of those external sites. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement or approval of the linked website or its operator.

We encourage you to review the terms of service and privacy policy of any third-party website you visit through links on our site before providing any personal information or making any purchase.

7 Identifying Affiliate Links

We make a good-faith effort to clearly disclose affiliate relationships throughout our content. You may see disclosures such as:

• "This post contains affiliate links."
• "We may earn a commission if you purchase through this link."
• An asterisk (*) or similar notation near a link.
• A disclosure box or banner at the top or bottom of a page or post.

This Affiliate Disclaimer page itself serves as a site-wide disclosure and should be understood to apply to all pages and posts on thestrongshield.com, even where an individual in-post disclosure is not present.

8 Our Faith & Mission Commitment

The Strong Shield exists to serve Christian families who take seriously the biblical call to stewardship, wisdom, and provision for those in their care. We believe that preparedness is a deeply biblical virtue — one rooted in prudence, love of neighbor, and trust in God's provision even as we take responsible action.

Any commercial activity on this site, including affiliate marketing, is undertaken as a means to sustain our mission — not as an end in itself. We are committed to keeping the integrity of our content above any financial consideration, and we welcome feedback from our community whenever we fall short of that standard.

9 Updates to This Disclaimer

We reserve the right to update or modify this Affiliate Disclaimer at any time to reflect changes in our affiliate relationships, applicable law, or FTC guidelines. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Your continued use of thestrongshield.com after any changes to this disclaimer constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
