Last updated: October 4, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
ChainFlow is committed to providing transparent information about our business relationships, advertising practices, and any financial arrangements that may influence the content and recommendations we provide. This disclosure ensures you have complete visibility into our business model and potential conflicts of interest.
We believe that transparency builds trust and allows our clients to make informed decisions about our logistics consulting services. This document outlines all forms of advertising relationships, sponsored content, and affiliate partnerships that may exist in connection with our business operations.
Our primary commitment is to provide honest, objective logistics consulting services. Any advertising or affiliate relationships are secondary to our professional obligation to deliver value to our clients.

Commission Structure
When clients choose to implement recommended software or tools through our affiliate links, we may receive a commission ranging from 5-15% of the initial purchase price.

Recommendation Policy
Our recommendations are based primarily on client needs and solution effectiveness. Affiliate relationships are considered secondary factors in our evaluation process.
