Transparency & Trust
At DetectDefects, transparency is important to us. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how we may earn commissions from certain links on this site.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special URL that contains a unique code. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller. This comes at no extra cost to you - you pay the same price you would if you went directly to the seller’s website.

- Amazon Associates - Links to books, hardware, and tools on Amazon
