Corporate Disclosure

Last updated: 6 August 2026

This Corporate Disclosure page sets out important information about Afliktor (“Afliktor”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), how we operate, and the commercial and editorial relationships that may exist in connection with our website and content (the “Services”). We believe in transparency with our readers, partners, and the public, and this page is intended to give a clear and honest account of who we are and how we work.

For any questions about the information on this page, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Company Identity and Contact Details

Afliktor is an independent music-production publication that provides articles, guides, and resources on digital audio workstations, sound design, sampling and licensing, electronic and bass music culture, and music promotion.

Our official contact details are:

All official correspondence should be directed to the address, email, or phone number above. We will only communicate with you through these official channels or through addresses ending in @afliktor.com. If you receive a message claiming to be from Afliktor from any other source, please treat it with caution and contact us to verify.

Note: Company registration number, VAT number, and legal entity details should be inserted here where applicable, once confirmed, to keep this disclosure complete and accurate.

2. Editorial Independence

Afliktor is an independent publication, and our editorial integrity is central to everything we do. Our reviews, comparisons, recommendations, and opinions reflect the honest, good-faith judgement of our team.

We commit to the following principles:

  • Editorial control stays with us. Advertisers, sponsors, and commercial partners do not have control over, or approval rights over, our editorial content, conclusions, or opinions.
  • Coverage is not for sale. We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, a favourable opinion, or guaranteed editorial coverage. Where content is paid for or sponsored, it is clearly identified as such (see Section 4).
  • Recommendations are genuine. When we recommend a tool, platform, technique, or resource, it is because we believe it has genuine merit for our readers — not because of any commercial relationship.
  • We correct our mistakes. Where we get something wrong, we aim to correct it openly and promptly.

3. Affiliate Relationships

Afliktor may participate in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that some links on our Services are “affiliate links”, and if you click one and make a purchase or take another qualifying action, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Important points about our affiliate relationships:

  • Affiliate commissions help support the running of Afliktor and allow us to keep our content freely accessible.
  • Earning a commission never changes the price you pay, and it does not influence our editorial opinion of a product or service.
  • We only include affiliate links to products, tools, or services that are relevant to our content and that we consider worth our readers’ attention.
  • The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee coverage, a positive review, or a recommendation.

Where required by law, and as a matter of good practice, we identify affiliate or commercial links so you can make informed choices.

4. Advertising, Sponsorship, and Paid Content

To help fund our work, Afliktor may display advertising or publish sponsored or paid content. We are committed to keeping a clear line between our independent editorial content and any commercial content.

  • Advertising. We may display advertisements served by us or by third-party advertising partners. Advertisements are separate from our editorial content.
  • Sponsored content. From time to time we may publish content that is sponsored or paid for by a third party. Any such content will be clearly labelled — for example as “Sponsored”, “Paid partnership”, “Advertisement”, or “In partnership with” — so that it is easily distinguishable from our independent editorial coverage.
  • Free products and review samples. We may occasionally receive products, software licences, or services free of charge for the purpose of review or testing. Receiving a review sample does not entitle the provider to a positive review or any editorial control, and we will disclose such arrangements where relevant.

Our acceptance of advertising, sponsorship, or review samples does not affect the honesty or independence of our editorial content.

5. Third-Party Products, Brands, and Trademarks

Our content frequently references third-party products, software, platforms, brands, and services (for example, digital audio workstations, plugins, sample libraries, and online platforms).

  • All third-party names, logos, and trademarks referenced on the Services are the property of their respective owners.
  • References to third parties are for information, commentary, comparison, and educational purposes only.
  • Unless expressly stated, no reference implies any affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from the third party concerned.
  • We are not responsible for the products, services, content, pricing, or practices of any third party we reference or link to.

6. Accuracy of Information and No Professional Advice

The information on our Services is provided for general information and educational purposes only. While we take reasonable care to ensure our content is accurate and current at the time of publication, we make no warranties or guarantees regarding its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.

In particular:

  • Details such as software features, prices, subscription terms, and licensing conditions change frequently and may be out of date by the time you read them. You should always verify current details directly with the relevant provider.
  • Content relating to licensing, copyright, contracts, or other legal or financial matters is not professional advice, and should not be relied upon as such. You should seek advice from a qualified professional before making decisions based on such content.

Any reliance you place on the information on our Services is strictly at your own risk. Please also see the disclaimer and limitation of liability provisions in our Terms & Conditions.

7. Reader Trust and Our Commitments

We recognise that our relationship with our readers is built on trust, and we take that seriously. Our commercial arrangements are designed to sustain the publication without compromising our values. Specifically, we commit to:

  • keeping commercial and editorial content clearly separated and clearly labelled;
  • disclosing material relationships that could reasonably affect how our content is perceived;
  • prioritising the interests and needs of our readers in the content we produce; and
  • reviewing and updating our disclosures as our activities and relationships evolve.

8. Intellectual Property

All original content on the Services — including articles, text, graphics, layouts, and the Afliktor name and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. For details on how you may use our content, please refer to our Terms & Conditions. If you have any intellectual property concerns, please contact us at [email protected].

9. Data Protection and Privacy

Where we collect and process personal data in connection with our Services — including through contact forms, subscriptions, cookies, and analytics — we do so in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Please refer to those policies for full details of how we handle your data and the rights available to you.
