Our commitment to transparency
Micro Grid Mesh is committed to being open and honest about the commercial relationships that may influence the content on this website. This page explains how advertising, affiliate programmes, and sponsored material may appear on this site and how they are handled.
Our editorial approach is not determined by commercial arrangements. Any relationship that could influence how content is presented will be disclosed clearly. We believe you have the right to understand when a financial relationship exists.
1. Affiliate relationships
From time to time, this site may contain links to products or services offered by third parties. In some cases, we may receive a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase or take another qualifying action.
- Programme participation — Where we participate in affiliate programmes, this will be indicated near the relevant link or content.
- Commission-based links — Some links may earn us a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is not affected by whether you arrive via an affiliate link.
- Product recommendations — Our recommendations reflect genuine assessment. We do not recommend products or services solely because they carry a commission.
- Financial transparency — Any financial relationship that could affect the objectivity of content will be disclosed clearly and prominently.
2. Sponsored content
Where content is produced in partnership with or funded by a third party, it will be clearly identified as sponsored or in partnership. Sponsored content does not necessarily reflect the views of Micro Grid Mesh.
- Identification — Paid or sponsored content will be marked clearly at the point where it appears, using labels such as "Sponsored", "In partnership with", or equivalent phrasing.
- Brand partnerships — Any ongoing or one-off partnership with a brand or organisation will be disclosed in the relevant content.
- Content authenticity — We retain editorial control over all content, including sponsored content. Partners do not have the right to require particular conclusions or omit material facts.
