4. Affiliate Disclosure

SleepWell Guide participates in affiliate advertising programs. Some of the links on our Site are "affiliate links," meaning that if you click on them and complete a purchase, we may receive a commission — at no additional cost to you.

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

We may also participate in affiliate programs offered by other retailers, product brands, and services. Our participation in these programs does not affect the price you pay. Commissions earned help fund the operation of this Site and allow us to continue producing free content.

Affiliate relationships do not dictate our editorial recommendations. Our editorial team evaluates products based on research, publicly available testing, and consumer feedback. We do not accept payment to feature or endorse specific products. However, given that many links do earn commissions, you should be aware of this potential bias when reading our reviews.

This disclosure is made pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. § 255).

5. Accuracy of Information

We strive to provide accurate, up-to-date, and evidence-based information. However, sleep science is an evolving field and new research may change prevailing recommendations. We cannot guarantee that all information on this Site is current, complete, or free of errors.

Product information, prices, availability, and specifications are subject to change. We are not responsible for outdated product details. Always verify product information with the manufacturer or retailer before making a purchase.

We cite peer-reviewed research and authoritative sources where possible. External links to studies or resources are provided for your convenience; we do not endorse and are not responsible for the content of external sites.

6. User Conduct

When using this Site, you agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its underlying systems.
• Introduce malicious code, viruses, or other harmful material.
• Use the Site in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or networks.
• Engage in any activity that violates applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
• Impersonate SleepWell Guide or claim to represent us without authorization.

7. Third-Party Links and Content

The Site contains links to third-party websites, research papers, product listings, and other external resources. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes. SleepWell Guide does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party site. Accessing third-party links is at your own risk.

We link to scientific studies hosted on PubMed, research databases, and institutional websites. These links are provided to support our content with evidence; the studies' authors and publishers are independent of SleepWell Guide.

8. Interactive Tools Disclaimer

Our interactive tools — including but not limited to the Sleep Cycle Calculator, Sleep Debt Calculator, Chronotype Quiz, Insomnia Quiz, Sleep Apnea Quiz, Caffeine Calculator, Jet Lag Planner, Nap Calculator, and Bedroom Temperature Guide — are provided as educational aids only.

• Tool results are based on generalized algorithms and population averages, not individualized clinical assessment.
• Results should not be used to self-diagnose any sleep disorder or medical condition.
• No data you enter into our tools is transmitted to or stored on our servers.
• Tool outputs are suggestions for general wellness awareness. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized medical guidance.
