Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: December 10, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Flamevault, we believe in complete transparency regarding our business relationships and how we generate revenue. This Advertising Disclosure explains the nature of our relationships with equipment suppliers, manufacturers, and other business partners, and how these relationships may affect the recommendations we provide.
We are committed to maintaining the trust you place in us by being upfront about any financial arrangements that could influence the information and guidance we provide. This disclosure complies with applicable advertising regulations and ethical business practices.
Affiliate Relationships and Commission-Based Partnerships
Nature of Relationships
Flamevault maintains business relationships with various kitchen equipment suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors. Some of these relationships may involve commission-based compensation when equipment is purchased through our recommendations or procurement services. These arrangements help support our business while allowing us to provide consultation services at competitive rates.
How Commissions Work
When you purchase equipment through suppliers we work with, we may receive:
- A percentage commission on the sale price
- Volume-based incentives for aggregate purchases
- Preferred pricing that we can pass along to clients
- Extended support services from manufacturers
These financial arrangements do not increase the price you pay for equipment. In many cases, our established relationships allow us to secure better pricing than you might obtain independently.
Our Recommendation Policy
Despite these business relationships, our equipment recommendations are based on:
- Your specific needs and requirements
- Equipment quality, reliability, and performance
- Value for money and long-term cost of ownership
- Compatibility with your kitchen setup and workflow
- Manufacturer reputation and support services
We will never recommend equipment solely because it offers higher commission rates. Our professional reputation depends on providing honest, needs-based guidance that serves your best interests.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Content Labeling
Currently, Flamevault does not publish sponsored blog posts, paid articles, or promotional content on our website. All content is created independently based on our professional expertise and experience. Should we decide to include sponsored content in the future, we will clearly label it as such with disclosures like "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement."
Brand Partnerships
We may occasionally participate in brand partnership programs where manufacturers provide:
- Product demonstrations at our facilities
- Training opportunities for our team
- Educational materials for clients
- Technical support resources
These partnerships enhance our ability to provide informed recommendations but do not compromise the objectivity of our advice. We maintain relationships with multiple brands to ensure we can recommend the best solution for each situation.
Content Authenticity
All case studies, testimonials, and project descriptions on our website represent actual client engagements. We do not fabricate success stories or exaggerate results. Client experiences are shared with permission and reflect genuine outcomes, though individual results will vary based on numerous factors.

Questions About Relationships
If you have questions about our relationships with specific suppliers or want to know whether we receive compensation for a particular recommendation, please ask. We are happy to disclose this information to ensure you can make informed decisions with full knowledge of any potential conflicts of interest.
Alternative Recommendations
If you prefer to work exclusively with suppliers where we do not have commission arrangements, we can accommodate this request. Our goal is to find the right equipment for your needs, regardless of our business relationships. Simply let us know your preference during consultation.
Feedback and Concerns
If you believe any of our content or recommendations have been improperly influenced by advertising relationships, we want to hear from you. Your feedback helps us maintain the highest ethical standards and ensures we continue to serve our clients' interests above all else.
Regulatory Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with advertising regulations and best practices for business transparency. While Flamevault operates in Cyprus, we follow international standards for ethical business conduct and transparent advertising practices.
We believe that transparency about business relationships is essential to maintaining trust with our clients. Our commitment to disclosure extends beyond legal requirements to ensure you have all the information needed to evaluate our recommendations objectively.
Our Multi-Supplier Approach
To minimize potential conflicts of interest, we maintain relationships with multiple suppliers for each equipment category. This allows us to:
- Compare options across different brands and price points
- Leverage competitive pricing between suppliers
- Accommodate specific brand preferences you may have
- Ensure equipment availability through multiple channels
- Provide genuine alternatives rather than single-source recommendations
Our business model depends on repeat clients and referrals, which only happen when we provide honest, valuable service. This creates a strong incentive to prioritize your satisfaction over short-term commission opportunities.
Updates to This Disclosure
We will update this Advertising Disclosure as our business relationships evolve or as advertising practices change. Significant changes will be noted with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this disclosure periodically to stay informed about how our business relationships may affect the services we provide.
