AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

Last Updated: November 20, 2025

TRANSPARENCY AND FTC COMPLIANCE

Vitality Systems USA, Inc. ("we," "us," "our," or "Vitality Systems") is committed to transparency in all our business relationships and compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials.

This Affiliate Disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how we may earn compensation when you purchase products through certain links or recommendations.

WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP?

An affiliate relationship exists when we compensate individuals or organizations for referring customers to us or promoting our products. These affiliates may earn a commission or referral fee when you make a purchase through their unique affiliate link or as a result of their recommendation.

OUR AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Vitality Systems USA, Inc. operates an affiliate program for the distribution of medical and homecare devices manufactured by Weber Medical GmbH of Germany. Our affiliate program is managed through the UpPromote platform integrated with our Shopify-based e-commerce system.

TYPES OF AFFILIATES

Our affiliate program includes, but is not limited to, the following types of affiliates:

**1. Healthcare Professionals**

Healthcare professionals, including physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, nurses, and other licensed medical practitioners, may participate in our affiliate program. These professionals may:

- Recommend our medical devices to their patients

- Provide information about product benefits based on their professional experience

- Refer patients or customers to our Website

- Earn compensation for qualified referrals or sales

When a healthcare professional is an affiliate, their recommendation may be influenced by the fact that they receive compensation for referrals. However, we require that all healthcare professional affiliates:

- Maintain their professional ethical standards

- Disclose their affiliate relationship to patients when making recommendations

- Make recommendations based on genuine professional judgment

- Never compromise patient care for affiliate compensation

**2. Content Creators, Bloggers, and Influencers**

Content creators, bloggers, influencers, and other individuals who create content about health, wellness, medical devices, or related topics may participate in our affiliate program. These affiliates may:

- Write blog posts, articles, or reviews about our products

- Create videos, podcasts, or other multimedia content featuring our products

- Share information about our products on social media platforms

- Include affiliate links in their content

- Earn compensation for qualified referrals or sales

When content creators are affiliates, their content and recommendations may be influenced by the compensation they receive.

AFFILIATE COMPENSATION STRUCTURE

Our affiliates may be compensated in the following ways:

**Commission on Sales**

Affiliates earn a percentage commission on the total sale amount (excluding taxes and shipping) when a customer makes a purchase through their unique affiliate link or as a result of their referral. Commission rates vary based on:

- Product type

- Affiliate tier or level

- Sales volume

- Agreement terms

**Referral Fees**

Affiliates may earn a flat referral fee for qualified customer referrals, regardless of whether a purchase is made immediately. Referral fee structures vary based on:

- Type of referral (consultation request, quote request, purchase)

- Product category

- Agreement terms

**Tracking and Attribution**

We use the UpPromote affiliate tracking platform to:

- Generate unique affiliate links and tracking codes

- Monitor clicks, referrals, and conversions

- Calculate and process affiliate commissions

- Provide affiliates with performance reports

Commissions are typically attributed to the affiliate whose link or code was used within a specified tracking window (cookie duration), which may vary but is typically 30-90 days.

HOW TO IDENTIFY AFFILIATE CONTENT

Content created by our affiliates or containing affiliate links may include one or more of the following disclosures:

- "This post contains affiliate links"

- "I may earn a commission from purchases made through links in this content"

- "As a Vitality Systems affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases"

- "Affiliate partnership disclosure: I am compensated for referrals"

- Other similar transparent disclosures

If you see content about Vitality Systems products from a healthcare professional, blogger, content creator, or influencer that includes these disclosures or contains affiliate tracking links, that person is likely an affiliate and may earn compensation from your purchase.

AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE

When you click on an affiliate link:

- You may be tracked through cookies or tracking pixels

- The affiliate may earn compensation if you make a purchase

- The price you pay is NOT affected by the affiliate relationship

- You are under no obligation to purchase through affiliate links

**IMPORTANT:** Using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay for products. Our prices are the same whether you purchase through an affiliate link or directly through our Website.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATES - IMPORTANT NOTICE

**FOR PATIENTS AND CUSTOMERS:**

If a healthcare professional recommends Vitality Systems products to you, that professional may be an affiliate and may earn compensation from your purchase. While we require our healthcare professional affiliates to prioritize patient care and maintain ethical standards, you should be aware of this potential financial relationship.

**Questions to ask your healthcare provider:**

- "Are you an affiliate of Vitality Systems?"

- "Do you earn compensation if I purchase this device?"

- "Are there alternative products or treatments you would recommend?"

- "Is this recommendation based solely on my medical needs?"

You have the right to seek second opinions and explore all treatment options. A recommendation should never be based solely on affiliate compensation.

**FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATES:**

If you are a healthcare professional participating in our affiliate program, you must:

- Comply with all applicable professional ethical guidelines and licensing requirements

- Disclose your affiliate relationship to patients before making recommendations

- Base all recommendations primarily on patient needs and professional judgment

- Never compromise patient care for affiliate compensation

- Comply with all federal and state laws regarding patient referrals, including Anti-Kickback Statute considerations where applicable

- Maintain appropriate documentation of your disclosures

CONTENT CREATOR AND INFLUENCER AFFILIATES

**FOR CONSUMERS:**

Content creators, bloggers, and influencers who are affiliates are required by FTC guidelines and our affiliate agreement to clearly disclose their affiliate relationship. However, disclosure practices may vary. When reading reviews, watching videos, or viewing social media content about our products:

- Look for affiliate disclosures at the beginning of content

- Understand that the creator may be compensated for positive reviews

- Consider seeking multiple sources of information

- Verify claims with independent sources

- Consult healthcare professionals before purchasing medical devices

**FOR CONTENT CREATOR AFFILIATES:**

If you are a content creator participating in our affiliate program, you must:

- Comply with FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials

- Provide honest opinions based on genuine experience

- Not make false or misleading claims about products

- Comply with all platform-specific disclosure requirements (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.)

NO AFFILIATION WITH MANUFACTURER

**IMPORTANT:** While Vitality Systems USA, Inc. is an authorized distributor of Weber Medical GmbH products, we do NOT receive affiliate commissions, referral fees, or other compensation from Weber Medical GmbH for promoting or selling their products. We purchase products from Weber Medical GmbH at wholesale prices and sell them at retail prices. Our affiliate program compensates third parties for referring customers to us, not vice versa.

We have NO affiliation with Weber Laser Systems, Inc. or any other similarly named company.

**4. Weber Medical GmbH** - The manufacturer, who may provide clinical data, research, or case studies

We strive to clearly identify the source of all reviews and testimonials. However, you should always approach product reviews with appropriate skepticism and:

- Verify the reviewer's credentials and potential conflicts of interest

- Seek multiple independent sources of information

- Consult with qualified healthcare professionals

- Remember that individual results may vary
