Affiliate Disclosure

1. Introduction & Commitment to Transparency

Trust and absolute transparency are the core pillars of my business at Donaldson R F. To ensure you fully understand how I operate, this Affiliate Disclosure outlines my financial relationships with certain third-party companies, brokers, and service providers mentioned across this website.

Please read this document carefully, as it applies to all affiliate links located on donaldsonrf.com, my social media channels, and within my email communications.

2. How My Affiliate Links Work & The Zero-Cost Guarantee

Throughout this website, you will encounter links pointing to external products and services. Many of these are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase, open an account, or subscribe to a service, I may receive a financial commission or referral fee.

I want to be perfectly clear: using my affiliate links will never alter the final price you pay. Whether you buy directly from the company or through my link, the cost to you remains exactly the same. The only difference is that the company allocates a small portion of their profit to me as a “thank you” for the referral. This is a standard, safe, and long-established practice in the digital market. In fact, in many cases, using my links may even grant you access to special discounts or promotional offers negotiated directly with the vendor.

3. Products Tested and Used in My Daily Operations

As a professional MQL5 programmer and IT specialist, my reputation is my most valuable asset. Therefore, before any product, broker, or tool earns a spot on this website, it goes through my own rigorous testing. The vast majority of the services I recommend are the exact same ones I use in my day-to-day operations to run my servers, develop my Expert Advisors, and manage my own infrastructure. My affiliate recommendations primarily fall into these categories:

Financial Brokers & Prop Firms: I may provide affiliate links to trusted Forex brokers (such as IC Markets or IC Trading) and proprietary trading firms (such as FTMO) that I have personally evaluated for execution speed and reliability.
Trading Infrastructure & Web Hosting: Recommendations for Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and robust web hosting solutions (such as Contabo and Ionos) that are specifically optimized and stress-tested for algorithmic trading and web performance.
IT & Performance Tools: Essential infrastructure and server management tools, including performance routing services (like Cloudflare) that I utilize in my own web development projects.

4. Editorial Independence & Integrity

My software development, technical advice, and product recommendations are never dictated by my affiliate partnerships. Earning commissions helps me cover the costs of maintaining this website’s infrastructure, testing new technologies, and developing advanced Expert Advisors. However, I will never recommend a subpar broker, flawed software, or unstable IT infrastructure simply to earn a commission.

5. My Role vs. The Seller’s Responsibility

When you click on buttons such as “Visit Official Site,” “Open an Account,” or “Get this VPS,” you will be redirected away from donaldsonrf.com to the third-party company’s official website. It is crucial to understand my limitations in this process:

I act solely as a referrer. I am the bridge connecting you to a service I personally recommend.
No Control Over Transactions: I do not process your payments for affiliate products, nor do I have access to your financial data, billing agreements, or the delivery mechanism of the third-party service.
Support and Refunds: If you require technical support for an affiliate product, experience a billing issue, or wish to request a refund, you must contact the official support team of that specific seller or broker. I cannot issue refunds for third-party products or intervene in their customer service processes.

6. Your Responsibility and Due Diligence

While I make every effort to verify the quality and reliability of the companies I endorse, the digital landscape and financial markets change rapidly. I cannot guarantee the ongoing accuracy of the claims, pricing, or operational stability of external sources.

Before making any purchase or depositing funds with a recommended broker, prop firm, or hosting provider, I strongly advise you to:

Perform your own independent research.
Verify the product or company name on consumer review sites like Trustpilot.
Carefully read the third-party provider’s own Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Risk Disclosures before finalizing any transaction.

By using my affiliate links, you support the ongoing maintenance and development of the tools and technical services offered on this Site. If you require further clarification regarding these affiliate relationships, please contact me directly.
