Affiliate Disclosure

The arrangement in one paragraph

Nullphase is published by Original TRANS s.r.o. and carries paid affiliate links to one game publisher. If you follow one of those links and go on to create an account and confirm your email address, the affiliate network that operates the link pays us a commission. You are not charged for this and your cost is identical whether you use our link, type the publisher's address yourself, or never go at all. That commission is the only income this site has.

Where the links are

There are two affiliate links in the course, and both are to the same destination.

• In Step 1, in the section that names the game as a worked example of the funding patterns the step describes.
• In Step 3, in the section describing what the sign-up sequence involves.

Each one carries a note immediately beside it saying it is a paid link, in the same size type as the rest of the page. There are no affiliate links in the headers, footers, navigation, checklists or legal pages, and none of them is disguised as something else.

Technically, each link is a plain link to the network's address, exactly as given to us. It does not pass through a redirect on this domain, it is not assembled or rewritten by any script, and the destination you see in your browser's status bar is the destination you get. There are no pop-ups, interstitials, automatic redirects or exit prompts anywhere on this site.

What earns the commission

The commission is paid for a completed sign-up: a new account registered, the email address confirmed, and a first log-in to the game. It is not paid per click, it is not a share of anything you spend afterwards, and it does not increase if you later buy something. Under the programme we take part in, referrals are reviewed by the network at the start of the following month before anything is payable.

We are told how many referrals were credited and what is payable. We are not told who you are, and we do not ask.

What the commission decides, and what it does not

It decides one thing: which product is named in the course at all. We would not be pretending otherwise usefully — Crossout appears here because there is a commercial arrangement behind it. Any site that tells you its paid placement was chosen by an impartial process is asking you to believe something improbable.

It does not decide anything else:

• It does not change what the steps say. The five steps are about the category, and they would read the same if no link existed.
• It does not add a recommendation. We do not say the game is good, popular, suitable for you, or better than anything else. We have not tested it and we do not review games.
• It does not remove a caution. Step 1 describes how games of this kind earn money and Step 5 is entirely about limiting what you spend — neither was softened because of the link.
• It does not change the facts we state about the product. Everything we say about it comes from the publisher's own description; where the publisher does not state something, we say so or leave it out.
• It does not affect the checklists. None of the five checklists asks you to sign up for anything.

What does decide the content

The course was built from the decisions a beginner actually faces, in the order they face them, and each step was kept only if it produced something that could go on a checklist. Factual claims come from Australian public bodies where one is the authority on the point, from the vendor's own published description where the point is about a product, and otherwise are written as general guidance about the category that you can verify yourself.

The full account of that method, including how often the course is reviewed, is on the About page.

One test we apply to every page before it is published: would this still be worth reading if the affiliate link were deleted? If the answer is no, the page is wrong and gets rewritten.

You can ignore the links entirely

Every step, every checklist and the printable sheet are complete without following any link. You can read the whole course, apply it to a completely different game, and take nothing from here but the method. Nothing is withheld, and no section is held behind a link.

If you do decide a product named here is for you, going directly to the publisher's own site costs you nothing and earns us nothing. That is a legitimate choice and we would rather say so.

What happens to your information

We collect nothing about you on this site: no account, no form, no cookies, no analytics. When you follow an affiliate link you leave this site, and the publisher and the affiliate network may use cookies or similar technology on their own domains to attribute the referral, under their own policies. Our privacy policy and cookie policy set that out in full.

Trademarks

All brand names on Nullphase, Crossout among them, are the property of their owners. Except for the paid affiliate links described on our funding page, none of those owners is affiliated with Nullphase, and none has endorsed or sponsored it.

Nullphase is not an official, authorised, partner or reseller site for any game or publisher. We do not host downloads, operate any game service, or have access to anybody's game account.
