Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: 16 April 2025

Our commitment to transparency

Meta Point Base is committed to operating transparently in all commercial relationships. This page explains the nature of any advertising, affiliate, or sponsored arrangements that may exist in connection with this website. We believe visitors should understand how financial relationships, if any, might influence the content they encounter here.

In line with FTC guidelines and applicable standards in Japan, we disclose material connections to any products, services, or organisations that are referenced or recommended on this website.

1. Affiliate relationships

Participation in affiliate programmes

From time to time, Meta Point Base may participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that if a link to a third-party product or service appears on this website and you make a purchase after following that link, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Commission-based links

Where commission-based links are present, we will make reasonable efforts to clearly identify them. The presence of an affiliate link does not mean we endorse the product or service beyond what is stated. Our editorial opinions remain independent.

Product recommendation policies

Any products or services mentioned on this site are selected based on their potential relevance to our audience. We do not allow affiliate relationships to override our commitment to providing honest, helpful information.

Financial relationship transparency

If a financial relationship exists between Meta Point Base and any entity mentioned on this site, we will disclose it in reasonable proximity to the relevant content.

2. Sponsored content

Paid content identification

Where content has been produced in exchange for payment or other compensation, it will be clearly labelled as sponsored, paid, or in partnership with the relevant brand or entity. Visitors should treat sponsored content as advertising.

Sponsored post labelling

Sponsored posts or pages will carry a visible disclosure statement at or near the top of the content in question. The label will appear in a manner that is reasonably clear and not obscured by other design elements.

Brand partnership disclosures

Where Meta Point Base enters a formal brand partnership that results in website content, the nature of that relationship will be disclosed to readers. Brand partners do not have editorial control over the content produced.

Content authenticity

We do not fabricate testimonials, results, or endorsements. Any case references or outcomes described on this site reflect actual engagements or reasonable representations of service scope.
