Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 15 March 2026

Overview

LuxuryWorld.online ("we," "our," "this site") is a curated affiliate marketplace. We earn revenue through affiliate commissions when visitors click on product links from this site to partner retailers, resellers, auction houses, or ateliers, and subsequently make a qualifying purchase.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidance on affiliate marketing, the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) guidelines, and the EU Digital Services Act transparency requirements.

How Our Business Model Works

We do not own, warehouse, or fulfill any of the products featured on this site. Our role is purely editorial and curatorial:

• Our specialists identify exceptional luxury goods, vintage rarities, and experiences from authorized sources.
• We feature these items with editorial context, provenance information, and curatorial commentary.
• Product links from LuxuryWorld.online redirect to our partner retailers, authorized dealers, auction houses, or direct ateliers.
• If you complete a qualifying purchase with a partner after clicking through our link, we may receive a commission.

The commission is paid by the partner from their existing margin. It never increases the price you pay, and in many cases partners offer LuxuryWorld readers the same or better pricing than direct traffic.

Our Editorial Independence

Every piece featured on LuxuryWorld.online is selected on curatorial merit. We have and enforce the following commitments:

• No paid placement: We do not accept payment in exchange for featuring a specific product. Partnerships are based on commission from completed sales, not placement fees.
• Editorial authority: Our specialist editors have final authority to decline featuring any item, regardless of its commission potential, if it does not meet our curatorial or authentication standards.
• Honest commentary: When we publish critical commentary on a product, brand, or category — including commentary that may be unfavorable to a partner — that commentary is made independently of commercial consideration.
• Transparent link attribution: All outbound affiliate product links carry the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, as required by Google Search guidelines and industry best practice.

Types of Commercial Relationships

We maintain several categories of commercial relationships, all disclosed here:

• Direct affiliate partnerships with authorized luxury retailers, boutique multi-brand stores, and direct-to-consumer ateliers.
• Network-based affiliate relationships through recognized affiliate networks (including but not limited to Rakuten Advertising, CJ Affiliate, Impact, Awin, ShareASale, Partnerize, and LTK). These networks administer tracking and commission payment on behalf of partner brands.
• Specialist reseller relationships with authenticated secondary-market platforms for vintage handbags, watches, wine, spirits, and collectibles.
• Auction house relationships with major international auction houses for significant fine art, classic cars, and rare collectibles.
• Editorial-only coverage for brands or products where no affiliate relationship exists, covered purely for editorial merit.

How Affiliate Links Are Marked

Affiliate product links on LuxuryWorld.online are identified in the following ways:

• All outbound product links use the HTML attribute rel="sponsored nofollow".
• A persistent disclosure banner appears at the bottom of every page on this site, stating our affiliate model.
• Editorial articles that contain affiliate links include an affiliate disclosure notice where appropriate.
• Product cards include a visible "View at Partner" call-to-action that transparently indicates the click will take you to a third-party retailer.

What We Do Not Do

In the interest of reader trust, we commit to the following:

• We do not accept payment from brands to write positive reviews of their products.
• We do not remove or alter published editorial based on commission-rate negotiations.
• We do not feature products from unauthorized grey-market sources, regardless of potential commission.
• We do not use deceptive or hidden affiliate redirects, cookie-stuffing, or other practices prohibited by FTC rules or affiliate network policies.
• We do not sell personal information to partners (see our Privacy Policy for details).

Your Rights as a Reader

Regardless of whether you click through our affiliate links:

• All editorial content on this site is free to read and does not require purchase or subscription.
• You are never under any obligation to purchase through our links; you may go directly to any retailer, brand, or platform through whatever channel you prefer.
• You may clear affiliate tracking cookies from your browser at any time; see our Cookie Policy.
• If you are concerned about affiliate tracking, we recommend using private browsing mode or standard tracking-prevention tools.
