Affiliate Program Participation

Bolaven Quiet may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links and make purchases through those links. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable information about coffee sourcing from the Bolaven Plateau.

Currently, we may have affiliate relationships with coffee equipment suppliers, shipping providers, quality control laboratories, and other service providers relevant to the specialty coffee industry.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website.

• Affiliate links are clearly identified when possible
• We only recommend products and services we believe provide value
• Our opinions and recommendations remain independent

Product and Service Recommendations

Our recommendations are based on our genuine experience and assessment of quality. While we may earn commissions from some recommendations, we prioritize recommending products and services that we believe will benefit our clients and the coffee sourcing community. We never recommend products solely for commission purposes.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain transparency about our financial relationships. If we have a material financial relationship with a company we mention or recommend, we will disclose this relationship. Our primary business model is providing direct coffee sourcing services, and any affiliate income is supplementary to our core operations.

Identification of Sponsored Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such with one of the following disclosures:

• • "Sponsored Post"
• • "Paid Partnership"
• • "Advertisement"
• • "Sponsored by [Brand Name]"

Sponsored Post Labeling Policy

We maintain strict standards for sponsored content labeling. Sponsored posts are clearly marked at the beginning of the content, and we ensure that our audience can easily distinguish between organic content and paid promotions. We never disguise advertising as editorial content.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

If we enter into brand partnerships or collaborations that may influence our content, we will disclose these relationships. This includes partnerships with coffee equipment manufacturers, agricultural development organizations, export facilitators, or other entities relevant to our industry.

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Even in sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and ensure accuracy. We only partner with brands and organizations whose values align with our commitment to transparency and quality in coffee sourcing. Our opinions in sponsored content remain honest and reflect our genuine assessment.
