HONESTY IS OUR POLICY
At Hot Getaways, we believe you deserve to know exactly how our website operates and how we may generate income from the content we publish. This Affiliate Disclosure is our commitment to full transparency about our commercial relationships.
WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP?
An affiliate relationship exists when Hot Getaways links to a third-party product, service or booking platform and may receive a commission or referral fee if you make a purchase or booking through that link.
Affiliate links allow platforms like ours to generate revenue that supports the creation of content, the maintenance of our website and the continued development of our community network.
HOW WE USE AFFILIATE LINKS
Hot Getaways may include affiliate links in:
- Tour and experience listings
- Destination guides and travel articles
- Accommodation recommendations
- Product or service reviews
- Email newsletters
Where affiliate links are used, we endeavour to clearly indicate this — either with a disclosure label, a general notice on the page, or both.
OUR EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our editorial content. We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews or guaranteed coverage. We only recommend products, services and experiences that we genuinely believe are valuable to our community.
If we have a commercial relationship with a business, we will say so. Our readers’ trust matters more than any commission.
NO EXTRA COST TO YOU
Using an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you click through our link or visit the provider directly. In some cases, we may be able to offer exclusive rates or benefits through our partnerships.
THIRD-PARTY BOOKING PLATFORMS
Hot Getaways works with a range of tour operators, booking platforms and travel service providers. When you book through a third-party platform linked from our site, your contract is with that provider, not with Hot Getaways. We encourage you to review their terms, cancellation policies and privacy practices before completing a booking.
AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW
Our affiliate and commercial practices comply with the Australian Consumer Law and the guidelines published by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) regarding online endorsements and testimonials. We do not publish misleading or deceptive content.
