EDITORIAL STANDARDS

Editorial Policy & Standards

BlackFriday.us is an editorial shopping and deal-discovery publication operated by Fabway Corp. Our goal is to add useful context around retailer offers rather than simply republishing a merchant feed. Product selection, category placement, shopping guidance, and editorial wording remain under BlackFriday.us control.

Who creates the content

Buying guides and shopping pages use the site-level byline BlackFriday.us Editorial Team. That byline represents content prepared and maintained for BlackFriday.us rather than a fabricated individual author profile. We do not claim hands-on product testing unless a page specifically says that testing was performed.

How retailer and product data is used

Retailers and affiliate networks may supply product names, identifiers, prices, availability, images, variants, destination URLs, and promotional information. We use automated validation and publication rules to keep that information current and to reject or suppress data that is incomplete, stale, inconsistent, unavailable, or unsuitable for publication.

Merchant-supplied data is a source of factual product information; it does not determine our editorial conclusions. We may add original comparison guidance, category context, deal notes, selection criteria, and shopping advice designed to help readers evaluate an offer.

How we evaluate deals

We consider current price, credible comparison price when available, product relevance, exact model or variant, retailer quality, availability, shipping or installation considerations, timing, and applicable retailer terms. We do not invent a higher comparison price in order to display a larger discount.

Affiliate relationships and editorial independence

BlackFriday.us may earn compensation from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links. An active affiliate relationship can determine whether we are technically able to track and publish a retailer's offers, but compensation does not guarantee favorable commentary, a particular ranking, or inclusion in the Friday Drop.

Updates and freshness

Prices and inventory can change quickly. Automated feed refreshes may update product-level data, while editorial guides and seasonal pages are reviewed as product categories, retailer relationships, and shopping conditions evolve. Where appropriate, editorial pages display a visible last-updated date.

Corrections

If we discover that an editorial statement, product specification, retailer condition, or deal detail is materially incorrect, we aim to correct or remove it. Retailers, affiliate managers, and readers may send correction requests to contact@blackfriday.us.

Brand and promotional compliance

We review advertiser-specific restrictions before publishing tracked promotions. We do not knowingly use unauthorized coupon codes, fabricate retailer claims, or represent a merchant relationship more broadly than the approved program permits. Paid-search, trademark, promotional, and geographic restrictions are handled according to the applicable advertiser terms.

Sponsored content

If BlackFriday.us accepts a fixed-fee sponsorship or other paid editorial placement in the future, the commercial relationship will be disclosed. Payment does not purchase a false product claim or undisclosed favorable opinion.
