Affiliate Disclosure

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how gochinavisafree.com (the "Site"), operated by Tonse ("we," "us," or "our"), uses affiliate links, referral links, advertising, sponsored content, paid placements, gifted products or services, brand partnerships, and other commercial relationships, and how we may earn money from them.

We believe in being open and honest with our visitors.

This page is provided for transparency and to support compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and disclosures, and similar advertising, consumer-protection, and disclosure rules in other regions where they apply to us.

By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to this Affiliate Disclosure, our Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use.

1. What Affiliate Links Are

An affiliate link is a special tracking link to a third-party website, product, or service.

When you click an affiliate link and then take an action — such as making a purchase, completing a booking, signing up, subscribing, downloading an app, requesting a quote, or using a service — the third party may pay us a commission, referral fee, or other compensation.

In most cases, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay.

However, prices, offers, discounts, fees, taxes, and final terms are controlled by the third party, not by us, and may vary depending on your location, device, account, currency, payment method, promotions, or other factors.

Always check the final price and terms directly on the third-party website before buying, booking, signing up, or using any service.

2. We Use Affiliate Links

The Site contains affiliate links, referral links, sponsored links, advertising links, and other monetized links.

This is one of the ways we fund and maintain the Site so we can keep providing free information.

We may participate in affiliate programs, referral programs, advertising networks, sponsorships, and commercial partnerships that may include, for example:

• Travel booking platforms
• Flight booking platforms
• Hotel booking platforms
• Train, ferry, bus, or transportation booking platforms
• Tour, activity, and attraction providers
• Travel insurance providers
• eSIM and mobile data providers
• VPN providers
• Visa-service or document-service providers
• Travel-support providers
• Currency, payment, or travel-card providers
• Language, translation, or travel app providers
• Online retailers and marketplaces
• Luggage, travel gear, and travel-product retailers
• Business travel services
• Other travel-related products and services

We may add, remove, or change affiliate partners at any time without notice.

The presence of an affiliate program, link, partner, or offer at any point does not guarantee that it is currently active, available, accurate, or suitable for you.

3. Short Disclosure Used on Articles

On pages that contain affiliate links, sponsored links, paid recommendations, booking links, or commercial recommendations, we may also use a shorter disclosure near the top of the page or near the relevant links.

For example:

This page may contain affiliate links. If you click and book or buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

This short notice is provided for convenience and should be read together with this full Affiliate Disclosure.

A short disclosure on a page does not replace this full disclosure. This full Affiliate Disclosure applies across the Site.

4. Material Connections and Compensation

A material connection means a relationship that could affect how a visitor evaluates a recommendation, review, ranking, link, product mention, service mention, or other content.

A material connection may include:

• Commissions
• Referral fees
• Affiliate payments
• Advertising fees
• Sponsorship payments
• Paid placements
• Free products
• Gifted services
• Discounted services
• Hosted experiences
• Free or discounted travel
• Paid trips
• Brand partnerships
• Business partnerships
• Other monetary or non-monetary compensation

Compensation may be monetary or non-monetary.

If we have a material connection with a brand, platform, provider, advertiser, merchant, or affiliate partner, we may earn money or receive other benefits when you interact with that link, product, service, or recommendation.

5. How Affiliate Links Work and What Is Tracked

When you click an affiliate link, the third party — such as the merchant, advertiser, booking platform, service provider, or affiliate network — may place cookies or use other tracking technologies.

They may collect information such as:

• That you clicked from our Site
• The page you clicked from
• Your device type
• Your browser type
• Your approximate location
• Your referral source
• The time and date of your click
• Whether you later made a purchase, booking, sign-up, subscription, or other qualifying action

This tracking is usually handled by the third party, not directly by us, and is governed by their privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms, not ours.

For more about how information is handled on our Site, see our Privacy Policy.

6. Advertising and Sponsored Content

In addition to affiliate links, the Site may include:

• Display advertising
• Advertising networks
• Sponsored posts
• Sponsored sections
• Paid placements
• Brand partnerships
• Collaborations
• Gifted products
• Gifted services
• Gifted trips
• Hosted experiences
• Paid reviews
• Sponsored recommendations
• Promotional content

Where required by law, we will try to identify sponsored, paid, gifted, or advertising content clearly.

This may be shown with labels such as:

• "Sponsored"
• "Ad"
• "Advertisement"
• "Paid partnership"
• "Affiliate link"
• "This page may contain affiliate links"
• Similar disclosure language

Receiving payment, free products, free services, discounted services, hosted experiences, or other compensation does not change the fact that the Site is for general informational purposes only.

Sponsored content, advertising, or affiliate links do not constitute legal, immigration, visa, travel, financial, tax, medical, or professional advice.

7. Our Editorial Independence and Honesty

We aim to mention products, services, and providers that we believe may be genuinely useful or relevant to our readers.

However:

• An affiliate relationship, commission, sponsorship, paid placement, gifted service, or other commercial relationship may exist for some products or services we mention.
• The existence of a commission or commercial relationship does not mean we guarantee, endorse, or take responsibility for any third-party product, service, provider, or result.
• We are not paid to give a specific legal, immigration, visa, or official government opinion.
• A commercial relationship does not guarantee a positive review.
• A commercial relationship does not guarantee that a product or service is the best option for you.

You should always do your own research and make your own decision before buying, booking, signing up, or using any product or service.

8. Rankings, Placement, and Recommendations

Commercial relationships may influence which products, services, links, offers, or providers appear on the Site, where they appear, or how they are displayed.

For example, affiliate relationships or sponsorships may influence:

• Which providers are listed
• The order in which providers appear
• Whether a provider receives a featured placement
• Which links are included
• Which offers are highlighted
• Which products or services are easier to access from the Site

However, we do not guarantee positive coverage, and we try to keep our content useful, relevant, and reader-focused.

Rankings, recommendations, comparisons, and lists are for general informational purposes only.

They should not be treated as personalized advice or as a guarantee that a product or service is the best, cheapest, safest, fastest, or most suitable option for your specific situation.

9. Prices, Availability, and Terms

Prices, availability, discounts, promotional offers, terms, refund rules, cancellation rules, product details, service details, and conditions may change at any time.

We do not control third-party prices, terms, availability, fees, taxes, discounts, refund rules, cancellation rules, or service conditions.

In most cases, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay.

However, prices and offers are controlled by the third party, not by us, and may vary depending on your location, device, account, browser, currency, payment method, taxes, fees, promotions, or other factors.

Always check the final price, cancellation policy, refund policy, rules, and terms directly on the third-party website before buying, booking, signing up, or using any service.

10. Visa, Travel, and Immigration-Related Services

Because the Site provides information about China visa-free policies and travel to China, some affiliate links or commercial recommendations may relate to travel-support, document-support, or immigration-adjacent services.

This may include links to:

• Visa-service providers
• Document-service providers
• Travel-support providers
• Translation providers
• Travel insurance providers
• Booking platforms
• Transportation providers
• eSIM providers
• Other travel-related services

If we link to any visa-service, document-service, travel-support, immigration-related, or travel-related provider, that does not mean we guarantee:

• Their accuracy
• Their legality
• Their reliability
• Their success rate
• Their approval outcome
• Their processing time
• Their refund policy
• Their cancellation policy
• Their suitability for your situation
• That using them will help you enter China
• That using them will help you receive a visa, stay permit, boarding approval, or immigration approval

Only official government authorities, embassies, consulates, border officers, immigration authorities, airlines, or other official authorities can make official visa, entry, transit, boarding, or immigration decisions.

You are responsible for verifying official requirements before using any third-party service.

We do not guarantee that any third-party service can get you a visa, help you enter China, help you board a flight, prevent penalties, or solve an immigration issue.

11. No Guarantees and No Responsibility for Third Parties

We do not control and are not responsible for any third-party website, product, service, advertiser, merchant, affiliate network, booking platform, provider, or partner.

This includes their:

• Content
• Accuracy
• Availability
• Prices
• Fees
• Taxes
• Discounts
• Promotions
• Quality
• Safety
• Security
• Privacy practices
• Data handling
• Customer service
• Refund policies
• Cancellation policies
• Delivery
• Performance
• Terms and conditions
• Claims
• Advertising statements
• Business practices
• Legal compliance

Any purchase, booking, sign-up, payment, communication, cancellation, refund request, dispute, or other transaction you make with a third party is solely between you and that third party and is subject to their terms and policies.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss, cost, damage, dispute, denied service, cancellation, refund issue, failed booking, incorrect price, poor service, denied claim, travel problem, immigration problem, or other issue arising from your use of, or purchase from, any third-party product, service, or provider — whether or not it was reached through an affiliate link on the Site.

This Affiliate Disclosure should be read together with the disclaimers and limitation of liability in our Terms of Use.

12. Not Professional Advice

Nothing on the Site, including any affiliate link, sponsored link, recommendation, ranking, review, comparison, ad, or mention of a product or service, constitutes legal, immigration, visa, travel, financial, tax, medical, insurance, or professional advice.

Always verify visa, entry, transit, immigration, and travel requirements with the relevant official government authority, embassy, consulate, airline, immigration authority, border authority, or qualified professional before making any decision.

See our Terms of Use for full details.

13. Other Channels

This Affiliate Disclosure also applies to affiliate links, sponsored mentions, paid partnerships, gifted products or services, advertisements, referral links, or commercial recommendations we may share through channels connected to the Site.

These channels may include:

• Newsletters
• Emails
• Social media accounts
• Videos
• Short-form content
• Blog posts
• Guides
• Downloadable resources
• PDFs
• Checklists
• Digital products
• Online communities
• Other related platforms or channels

Where required, we will try to disclose affiliate, sponsored, paid, gifted, or commercial relationships clearly in those channels as well.

14. Program-Specific Disclosures

Some affiliate programs require specific disclosure language.

Where a program requires specific wording, we will include that language on this page, near the relevant links, or in another appropriate location.

For example, if we join a program that requires a specific statement, we will add that statement as required.

Do not assume that every program mentioned in examples is currently used by the Site.

Only active affiliate relationships, sponsored relationships, or commercial relationships actually used by the Site apply.

15. Your Choice

You are never required to click affiliate links or use third-party providers mentioned on the Site.

You can choose to:

• Use our affiliate link
• Search for the provider yourself
• Use a different provider
• Book directly with the third party
• Not buy, book, sign up, or use the service at all

Using our affiliate links may help support the Site, but the choice is always yours.

16. Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time.

When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above.

Material changes will be posted on this page.

Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Disclosure.

It is your responsibility to review this Disclosure periodically.
