3. Affiliate Links & Commerce
Birthday.com participates in affiliate advertising programs. Many of the "Shop" and "Buy" links on this Site are affiliate links — when you click them and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate links are formatted as /go/[product-slug] and redirect to the relevant retailer's website. Once you leave Birthday.com via an affiliate link, your purchase is governed by the retailer's own terms of service, return policy, and privacy policy. Birthday.com is not a party to any transaction you make with a third-party retailer.
We do not guarantee the accuracy of prices shown on Birthday.com. Prices change frequently; always verify the current price on the retailer's website before purchasing. We are not responsible for price discrepancies, product availability, or retailer errors.
Our editorial recommendations are not influenced by affiliate commission rates. See our Editorial Policy for how we maintain editorial independence.
