AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS
What Are Affiliate Programs
Cabinet Craft participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click certain links on our website and make purchases, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate relationships help support the operation of our website and creation of valuable content.

- →Game engines and development platforms
- →Educational resources and training materials
- →Hardware and equipment suggestions
- →Third-party services we mention or endorse
Our Recommendation Policy
We only recommend products, tools, and services we have used ourselves or thoroughly researched. Our professional reputation depends on providing genuine value, not simply promoting products for commission. Affiliate relationships do not influence our honest assessment of quality or suitability.
Financial Transparency
Commission rates and payment structures vary by affiliate program. We may earn anywhere from a small percentage to a significant commission depending on the product or service. These financial arrangements never compromise our professional integrity or recommendations.
SPONSORED CONTENT AND PARTNERSHIPS
Sponsored Posts and Articles
Cabinet Craft may publish sponsored content created in partnership with brands, game developers, or tool providers. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such.

Brand Partnerships
We occasionally enter into partnerships with companies whose products or services we genuinely use and trust. These partnerships may involve compensation, product access, or other consideration. All partnership arrangements are disclosed when relevant to content.
Authenticity Guarantee
Despite financial compensation, our reviews and opinions remain honest and unbiased. We decline partnerships with products or services we cannot genuinely recommend. Our audience trusts our expertise, and we prioritize that trust over short-term revenue opportunities.
Clear Identification
Sponsored content is identified with clear labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar disclosures at the beginning of posts or articles. We ensure transparency so readers can make informed decisions about the content they consume.
