Advertising Disclosure
Last Updated: January 2026
Address: 67 Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 3DE
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Langford Tech, we believe in complete transparency about our advertising relationships and any financial arrangements that might influence the content we provide. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content.
We are committed to maintaining editorial independence and providing honest, unbiased information about AI training and implementation services. Any advertising or affiliate relationships do not compromise our commitment to delivering valuable, accurate content to our audience.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, as well as UK advertising standards and consumer protection regulations.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Programme Participation
Langford Tech may participate in affiliate marketing programmes with companies that offer AI tools, platforms, and related services. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission or referral fee from the company.
These affiliate relationships allow us to earn revenue while continuing to provide educational content about AI tools and training services. The cost to you is the same whether you use our affiliate links or not.
Current and potential affiliate partnerships may include AI platform providers, software vendors, training resource providers, and other services relevant to AI implementation in business contexts.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
When we include affiliate links in our content, these are typically marked or disclosed appropriately. Here's how the process works:
1. Link Placement: We may include links to products or services that we discuss in our training content, blog posts, or informational materials.
2. Commission Structure: If you click through and make a purchase or subscription, we receive a percentage of the sale or a fixed referral fee.
3. No Extra Cost: The commission comes from the vendor's marketing budget and does not increase the price you pay.
4. Tracking: Affiliate programmes use cookies or tracking codes to attribute sales to our referral, which is standard industry practice.
Product Recommendation Policy
We maintain editorial independence in our content and recommendations. Our primary consideration when discussing or recommending AI tools is whether they serve legitimate business needs and provide value to our audience.
We discuss products and services that we believe are relevant to effective AI implementation, regardless of whether affiliate relationships exist. In some cases, we may recommend products or services where no affiliate arrangement is available.
When affiliate relationships do exist for products we recommend, this does not influence our honest assessment of their capabilities, limitations, and suitability for different use cases.
Financial Relationship Transparency
Where practical and relevant, we disclose specific affiliate relationships within content where affiliate links appear. You may see disclosures such as "This link is an affiliate link" or similar language to indicate when a financial relationship exists.
We are committed to making these disclosures clear and conspicuous so you can make informed decisions about clicking links and considering recommendations.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Sponsored Content Policy
From time to time, we may create sponsored content or accept payment to feature specific products, services, or companies on our website. All sponsored content is clearly labeled as such and distinguished from our regular editorial content.
You will see clear disclosures such as "Sponsored Post," "Paid Partnership," or similar language at the beginning of any content created in exchange for compensation.
Sponsored Content Standards
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain certain standards to ensure value for our audience:
- Sponsored content must be relevant to our audience's interests in AI training and implementation
- We reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that don't align with our values or audience needs
- All factual claims in sponsored content must be accurate and verifiable
- We maintain editorial oversight of sponsored content to ensure quality and relevance
- Sponsored content does not compromise our commitment to providing honest, useful information
While sponsors may have input on content topics and messaging, we retain editorial control to ensure sponsored content meets our quality standards and provides genuine value.
Brand Partnerships and Collaborations
We may form partnerships with AI platform providers, technology companies, or educational organisations to create collaborative content, host events, or develop training materials. These partnerships may involve financial arrangements or other forms of compensation.
When such partnerships influence content on our website or in our training materials, we disclose the nature of the relationship appropriately. Our goal is to ensure you understand when external relationships may have influenced the content you're viewing.
Content Authenticity Guarantee
Whether content is sponsored or independently created, we are committed to authenticity. We share genuine insights based on our experience working with businesses on AI implementation. We do not make false claims or misrepresent products and services, regardless of any financial arrangements.
