Affiliate Disclosure Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

Welcome to The Off-Grid Canvas. Integrity and authenticity are important core values of mine, so out of respect for your trust, I want to be completely upfront about how this site stays online.

Keeping this platform live, secure, and ad-free costs money. Therefore, in order to keep providing valuable, real-life insights about our decade plus of off-grid homesteading, homeschooling and business experience without charging you for it, I use affiliate links to help cover those operational costs. 

This website and my connected social media channels (including my Pinterest ecosystem) utilize affiliate marketing to generate revenue. This means that when I recommend specific products, physical gear, educational resources, or digital systems, the links provided may be affiliate tracking links.

If you click one of these links and complete a purchase, I receive a small commission from the merchant partner. This happens at no additional cost to you whatsoever. 

I will only recommend genuine solutions or products that actually serve our off-grid homestead, business, and homeschool life, and those that I believe would help benefit you on your similar journey.

Global Regulatory Compliance

To ensure total legal compliance for our worldwide community of intentional families, this policy strictly adheres to the consumer protection and advertising guidelines of our core audience locations:

  • New Zealand: In alignment with the NZ Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Codes regarding the clear identification of advertising.
  • Australia: In strict accordance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) overseen by the ACCC.
  • United States: In full compliance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

Our Guarantee of Editorial Integrity

  • Hands-on Verification: I evaluate products through the lens of a long-term off-grid homesteader, small business owner, and home educator. I will never link a product purely for commission.
  • Honest Opinions: Brand partnerships do not dictate my reviews or editorial angles. If a piece of equipment fails on our homestead, I will state it openly.
  • Data Privacy: Clicking affiliate links drops a tracking cookie via the respective network. This tracking strictly attributes sales and operates safely under our Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions regarding our brand relationships or how we use affiliate links, please feel free to reach out directly via my contact page.

Thank you deeply for supporting the real-world experience that keeps our platform running, and I’ll continue to provide honest, thoughtful and valuable insights for you!
