Affiliate disclosure
How DfHV can earn referral revenue without allowing compensation to rewrite a fit result.
Last updated September 1, 2026
The plain-language disclosure
Some links on Fit Grades may be affiliate or referral links. If you buy something through one of those links, DfHV may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
What compensation does not change
A commission does not change anthropometric inputs, product dimensions, fit margins, model outputs, letter-grade thresholds, configuration recommendations, or catalog ordering. Matthew Parkinson develops both DfHV and Fit Grades; we do not describe the relationship between them as independent editorial review.
How paid links are labeled
A compensated link will be labeled near the recommendation as an affiliate or referral link, with a short statement that DfHV may earn a commission. “Buy now” or a link icon alone is not treated as adequate disclosure. Links that currently go only to a manufacturer for documentation are identified as manufacturer links.
Product scope
A strong grade is not a recommendation on price, durability, sustainability, service, aesthetics, or subjective comfort. It means only that the published configuration performed well on the dimensions explicitly listed as scored. Missing dimensions remain visible.
