1. Editorial Independence & Review Integrity
At QtGok, our highest commitment is to the accuracy, objectivity, and integrity of our software reviews. Our editorial team produces independent assessments based solely on rigorous hands-on laboratory testing, architectural analysis, performance metrics, and pricing evaluations.
We do not accept payment, free hardware in exchange for guaranteed positive coverage, or sponsored scores from any software vendor. Software companies cannot edit, preview, or approve our reviews prior to publication.
2. FTC Affiliate Disclosure
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), please be aware of our affiliate compensation model:
- Some of the outbound links on QtGok may be "affiliate links." This means that if you click on the link and purchase the software product or subscribe to a cloud service, QtGok may receive a modest referral commission from the vendor.
- Zero Additional Cost to You: Clicking an affiliate link will never increase the price you pay. In many instances, our partnership links provide readers with exclusive introductory discounts, extended trial periods, or free bonus tier credits.
- Our editorial scores and rankings are calculated completely independently of affiliate relationships. A product that offers zero affiliate commission will be ranked higher than a competing product with a lucrative affiliate program if our laboratory benchmarks demonstrate superior performance.
3. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)
QtGok displays third-party programmatic advertisements through Google AdSense and authorized advertising exchanges. These advertisements are clearly identified by markers such as "Advertisement," "Ad," or "Sponsored Placement." QtGok does not directly endorse or guarantee the specific products, claims, or services advertised within these automated ad slots.
4. Trademark & Nominative Fair Use
Any product names, logos, brands, and other trademarks or images featured or referred to within the QtGok website are the property of their respective trademark holders. These include, but are not limited to:
- Google LLC: Google Workspace, Google Gemini, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Android, BigQuery, ChromeOS, and related marks.
- Microsoft Corporation: Microsoft 365, Copilot, Microsoft Azure, Windows, Visual Studio, GitHub, and related marks.
- All other third-party trademarks (e.g., Slack, Notion, Figma, Adobe, Docker).
These trademarks are used strictly under the doctrine of nominative fair use to identify the products and services being reviewed, analyzed, and compared. The use of these trademarks does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship of, or endorsement by the trademark holders.
