RESEARCH INITIATIVE™
Affiliate Marketing Disclosure
Version 1.0 | Effective Date: March 6, 2026 | Last Revised: March 6, 2026
Welcome to the website of the Osiris Global Research Initiative™ (OGRI).
This Affiliate Disclosure is provided in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding the use of affiliate links, endorsements, and sponsored content.
This disclosure is intended to help you understand how affiliate marketing works, how it may relate to your experience interacting with content published by OGRI, and how such relationships may support the work of the organization.
1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing model in which an individual, organization, or business may earn a commission for referring users to products or services offered by another company.
In practical terms, this means that when you click on certain links published on our website or in our communications and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or sign up for a service, the organization may receive a small commission or referral fee.
These commissions are paid by the vendor or partner company and do not increase the price you pay.
Affiliate marketing is a widely used mechanism that allows websites, publishers, and independent organizations like ours to support the creation of content and services without requiring direct payment from users.
2. How Affiliate Links May Appear in OGRI Content
Some links appearing on the OGRI website or in related communications may be affiliate marketing links (affiliate links).
These links may appear in contexts such as:
-
articles or essays
-
educational materials
-
research discussions
-
resource pages
-
newsletters or email communications
-
initiative descriptions or project pages
-
references to tools, services, or products relevant to topics discussed by the organization
When you click one of these links and engage with the referenced service or product, we may receive a commission from the associated partner organization.
Affiliate partnerships may change over time as programs begin, evolve, or conclude.
You will never be charged additional fees because you used an affiliate link.
3. Why Affiliate Relationships Exist
Affiliate relationships may help support the work of OGRI.
Revenue generated through affiliate partnerships may contribute to activities such as:
-
research and analysis
-
publication of educational content
-
development of initiatives and projects
-
operation and maintenance of the website and related platforms
-
creation of newsletters, media, or other informational materials
These partnerships allow the organization to continue developing ideas, publishing content, and supporting initiatives while keeping most of its resources freely accessible to the public.
4. Our Commitment to Honesty and Transparency
Maintaining trust with readers and users is a core priority.
Accordingly, the organization seeks to follow several principles regarding affiliate relationships:
• Affiliate links will be disclosed where appropriate.
• Products, services, or platforms referenced through affiliate programs will be selected based on relevance to the topics discussed.
• Affiliate relationships do not determine the substance of research, analysis, or commentary.
While affiliate partnerships may influence which vendors or services are referenced, the organization aims to maintain independence in its educational and analytical content.
