Affiliate disclosure

The Food Truck Guide is owned and operated by TnV Creations LLC. Some links on this site are affiliate or partner links. If you click one of those links and then buy, sign up, or otherwise complete a qualifying action with the partner, we may earn a commission. That is a paid relationship. It does not change the price you pay the partner. We want that to be obvious, which is why this page exists and why resource pages carry a short notice as well.

What a partner link is

A partner link is a link we place so that, if you choose to use it, the partner can tell you came from The Food Truck Guide and can pay us a commission under our agreement with them. These are sometimes called affiliate links, referral links, or tracking links. Ordinary links to organizers, official permit pages, and other sources we cite in listings and guides are not partner links, and we do not earn a commission from those.

We are not the seller of the partner's product or service. The partner's own terms, privacy policy, pricing, and support apply to what you buy or sign up for. A partner link is not a guarantee of any result, a promise that the product is right for your truck, or an exclusive requirement that you use that company.

Where you will see these links

Partner links appear on our operator resources pages, and may also appear in guides, emails, or other pages when we have a live program and a real tracking URL. They are labeled, and they use rel="sponsored" (and usually nofollow) so it is clear they are paid relationships. A short commission notice appears on resource pages, with a link back to this disclosure.

If a program is not live yet, we will not show a clickable partner link. We currently plan to work with two partners, described below. Those links stay off the site until a real tracking URL is in place.

Current and planned partners

For now, affiliate programs are limited to the following:

• Square, for point-of-sale and payments, listed under POS systems.
• ERGO NEXT, for small-business and food truck insurance, listed under Insurance.

Those programs are not live on the site until the tracking URLs are saved and the links are turned on. We do not currently have partner programs for equipment, builders, financing, or permits. We may add or remove partners later; this page will be updated when we do. We do not accept every offer we receive, and a partner listing is not a claim that we independently audited every feature, fee, or policy.

Amazon Associates

We are not currently participants in the Amazon Associates Program. We do not use Amazon Associates disclosure language, and we will not add that wording unless we actually join that program and place Amazon links on the site.

How the links work, and what we record

A live partner link on this site typically goes through our own redirect, at a path such as /go/…, and then to the partner's URL. That lets us count the click and send you to the current tracking address. When you follow a live partner link, we may record the click, the referring page, and a hashed version of your IP address. We do not use that click log to build an advertising profile, and we do not receive your payment card details from the partner. The partner may also set cookies or record that you arrived from our site, under their own privacy policy.

More detail on how we handle information is in our privacy policy. Using the site, including partner links, is also subject to our terms of use.

Price, recommendations, and your choice

The price you pay is the partner's price. A commission does not add a surcharge on our side, and we do not set the partner's fees. If a partner runs a promotion, their rules control it.

The "what to look for" guides on the resources pages are general operator guidance. They are not a paid review of a specific product unless we clearly say so, and they are not legal, insurance, or financial advice. You should compare options and read the partner's terms yourself. You are never required to use a partner link; you can go directly to any company you prefer.

Changes

We may update this disclosure when our partners, tracking methods, or practices change. The "last updated" date at the top will change when we do. The current version on this page is the one that applies.
