FAQs

Last updated: 06 June, 2025 

Welcome to Trend Shops! These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our website located at www.trendshops.in(“Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Site.

1. Website Purpose

Trend Shops is an independent affiliate website that curates and promotes products sold on Amazon. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, which means we earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on our Site. We do not own, sell, or ship the products listed.

2. Affiliate Disclaimer

The terms and conditions for an Amazon affiliate are officially outlined in the “Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement.” This document is a comprehensive legal contract that all affiliates must agree to and follow. It’s crucial for anyone participating in the program to read the most up-to-date version of this agreement, as policies can change.

However, I can provide a general overview of the key terms and conditions that are consistently emphasized. This is not a substitute for reading the official agreement but will give you a strong understanding of your responsibilities.

 

Key Terms and Conditions for Amazon Affiliates

All product links on Trend Shops are affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. Your support helps us maintain and improve our website.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

1. Disclosure Requirements

 

  • Mandatory Disclosure: You are required to clearly and conspicuously state that you are an Amazon Associate on any platform where you use affiliate links. This must be a prominent disclosure that is easy for visitors to see and understand.

  • The Official Wording: Amazon provides a specific statement that they require or a “substantially similar” one. The most common and recommended phrase is: “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

  • Placement: The disclosure must be on the same page as the affiliate links and should not be buried in a footer or a separate legal page where users might not see it.

 

2. Link Usage and Linking Requirements

 

  • Proper Links: You must use the “Special Links” provided by Amazon, which properly utilize your unique “tag” or Associate ID.

  • No Link Cloaking: You are not allowed to use link-shortening services or any other method to hide the fact that a link leads to Amazon. Amazon has its own link shortener (amzn.to) that you can use.

  • Permissible Platforms: Affiliate links are generally for websites, blogs, and publicly visible social media pages. Using them in emails, e-books, or private social media groups is often prohibited, though specific rules can vary and have been updated for some scenarios (e.g., solicited DMs on social media).

  • No Purchase for Yourself: You cannot use your own affiliate links to purchase products for yourself, friends, or family.

3. No Warranties

While we strive to provide accurate, up-to-date product information, we make no guarantees regarding the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of any product details or prices listed. Product availability and specifications may change on Amazon without notice.
