Affiliate Disclosure
Effective: February 19, 2026
Operated by Ascendily LLC d/b/a The Operator Vault
What This Disclosure Covers
The Operator Vault (operatorvault.com / theoperatorvault.io), operated by Ascendily LLC, participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on this website are affiliate links — if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on this site and complete a purchase, the merchant pays us a referral commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant.
These commissions help fund the free content, guides, and community resources on this site.
Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations
We only include affiliate links to tools, services, and products that have been personally used or vetted by Kevin Jeppesen (founder) or thoroughly tested within the Operator Vault community. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial stance.
If a tool doesn't work well for our use cases, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate agreement. Our reputation is worth more than any commission.
Where You May Encounter Affiliate Links
Affiliate links may appear in:
- Integration and tool pages (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, ActiveCampaign)
- Comparison pages (e.g., OpenClaw vs Zapier)
- Guide and tutorial content referencing third-party tools
- Resource recommendation sections throughout the site
- Community content or case studies referencing specific software
We aim to clearly indicate affiliate links where practical, but this disclosure covers the site as a whole.
No Endorsement by Third Parties
The presence of an affiliate link does not imply that a third-party company endorses The Operator Vault or Ascendily LLC. Affiliate relationships are one-directional — we may earn a commission from them; they do not have a stake in our content.
