Editorial Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 24 May 2026 · Effective: 24 May 2026

This page is the long-form version of the disclosures that appear on the About page. It explains exactly how Zendikt makes money, why we believe our editorial work remains independent in spite of those relationships, and the limits of what our content can do for you.

1. Editorial nature of our content

Zendikt is an editorial publisher of independent B2B software intelligence. Everything on the site is the considered opinion of our editorial team, grounded in the evidence we cite. Nothing on Zendikt is, or should be treated as:

• Legal advice on procurement, data protection, or any other regulated subject.
• Financial advice on technology investment.
• A security assessment or audit of any product.
• A guarantee of any vendor’s performance, solvency, contractual behaviour, or future direction.
• A substitute for your own due diligence.

If a software decision matters, evaluate the product yourself, talk to current customers, read the contract terms carefully, and seek qualified professional advice in the appropriate fields.

2. How we make money

Zendikt earns revenue from two sources:

• Vendor referral fees. When a reader clicks the “Request demo” button next to a vendor listing and submits the form, we forward the lead to that vendor’s sales team. The vendor pays us a referral fee, generally as a fixed amount per qualified introduction. The fee varies by vendor and category.
• Programmatic display advertising via Google AdSense and similar networks. Ad placements are clearly labelled and never appear inside the body of an editorial ranking such that they could be mistaken for editorial content.

We do not accept paid placements, sponsored slots, or fees to alter our rankings. We do not sell our editorial verdict to anyone. We do not accept gifts, equity, or any other commercial inducement from vendors.

3. Why referral fees do not change rankings

The order of products in any Top 10 ranking, the “best for” and “worst for” statements, the listed strengths and weaknesses, the radar scores, and the verdict text are all produced by our editorial team before any commercial conversation with the vendor. The presence or absence of a referral relationship has no bearing on:

• Whether a product is included or excluded.
• Where it is ranked.
• How its weaknesses are described.
• How its pricing transparency is scored.
• Whether it is excluded from a particular country edition.

If you ever read a ranking and feel that an editorial position seems shaped by a commercial relationship rather than the evidence, email editorial@zendikt.com. We will either justify the position on the record or correct it.

4. Regulatory disclosure framework

This disclosure is published to comply with the following frameworks and any equivalent local requirements:

• United States — FTC 16 CFR Part 255 (Endorsement Guides): material connections between publishers and endorsed brands must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed.
• United Kingdom — CAP Code & Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008: hidden commercial intent is a banned practice; affiliate relationships must be disclosed.
• European Union — Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) Article 26: publishers must disclose “main parameters” that affect the ranking of products, including commercial relationships.
• France — loi pour la confiance dans l’économie numérique & CNIL guidance: on transparent commercial communication.
• Germany — UWG (Unfair Competition Act) §5a: commercial intent must be clearly recognisable.
• India — ASCI Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media (June 2023) and Consumer Protection Act 2019: material connections must be disclosed in plain language.

5. How to spot a commercial CTA on our site

Every page that contains a paid commercial pathway uses the same visual language:

• An accent-coloured “Request demo” button beside each vendor name.
• A form labelled with the vendor’s name asking for your name, work email, and company.
• A footnote line in the form explaining that submission shares your details with the named vendor.

Anything else — vendor name in the comparison table, links to vendor websites, embedded screenshots, integration logos, named customer references — is editorial, not promotional.

6. Third-party sources and trademarks

Product names, ratings, integrations, and pricing data are sourced from vendor websites, regulatory filings, G2, Capterra, Reddit, Trustpilot, customer interviews, and other publicly available material. Trademarks belong to their owners and appear here for the purpose of editorial reference, identification, and fair comment. Nothing on Zendikt constitutes any vendor’s official statement.

7. AI-generated content disclosure

Some sections of the site (notably country-specific market context and compliance summaries) are drafted with AI assistance and then reviewed, edited, and signed off by our editorial team. We do not publish AI output that has not been reviewed by a human editor. We do not represent AI-drafted content as the original work of an individual human contributor.

8. Corrections policy

We correct factual errors as soon as we can verify them. The minimum standard:

• Material factual errors (pricing, ownership, named features) are corrected within ten business days of verification.
• Editorial judgements are not “errors” even when a subject disagrees with them; we will publish a vendor response on the page where one is requested in good faith.
• Date of last revision is shown on every Top 10 page in the lastUpdated field.
