Affiliate Disclosure

VantStride provides finance-career education, Career Hubs, ebooks, playbooks, curated learning resources, tools and recommendations.

Some links available through VantStride are affiliate links. This means VantStride may earn a commission, referral fee or other compensation if you click an eligible link and subsequently make a purchase, subscribe to a service or complete another qualifying action.

Where applicable, this compensation generally comes from the third-party provider and does not increase the price you pay solely because you accessed the provider through a VantStride affiliate link.

Affiliate partnerships are one of the ways VantStride may generate revenue to support the development, operation and maintenance of the platform.

This can help support Career Hubs, educational content, VantStride AI, platform infrastructure and the continued development of resources for users.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a particular product, course, platform or service is suitable for every user.

VantStride aims to feature resources that we believe may be relevant or useful to people preparing for finance careers.

Affiliate compensation does not guarantee positive coverage, a particular ranking, or inclusion on VantStride.

Recommendations are based on factors we consider relevant to users, which may include the subject matter, educational value, usefulness, relevance and positioning of the resource.

However, recommendations are inherently judgment-based, and users should independently determine whether a particular resource is appropriate for their own needs.

Where reasonably practicable, VantStride will disclose or identify affiliate relationships in proximity to recommendations, links or relevant sections of the platform.

Labels may include wording such as:

• “Affiliate link”
• “Affiliate partner”
• “Partner”
• “VantStride may earn a commission”

or similar clear language.

The absence of a specific label next to a particular third-party link does not necessarily mean that no commercial or affiliate relationship exists. This Affiliate Disclosure applies generally to affiliate links appearing throughout VantStride.

Products, courses, subscriptions, software, educational programs, platforms and other services accessed through affiliate links are provided by independent third parties.

VantStride does not own or control those third-party products or services unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own:

• products and services;
• pricing;
• availability;
• course or product content;
• subscriptions;
• billing;
• refund and cancellation policies;
• customer support;
• privacy practices; and
• terms and conditions.

Before purchasing or subscribing, users should review the relevant provider's current information, terms and policies.

Prices, discounts, promotions, product features, course availability, subscription terms and other information provided by third parties may change without notice.

VantStride may attempt to keep recommendations and information useful and current, but we cannot guarantee that third-party information displayed or referenced on the platform will always remain complete, accurate or up to date.

Users should verify important purchase information directly on the third-party provider's website before completing a transaction.

The inclusion or recommendation of a third-party course, platform, tool, resource or service does not constitute a guarantee of results.

Purchasing or using a recommended resource does not guarantee employment, internships, interviews, promotions, compensation, admission, certifications, investment results or any particular career outcome.

Individual results depend on numerous factors outside VantStride's control.

VantStride aims to keep its educational content and recommendations useful to its audience.

An affiliate relationship does not mean that a third-party provider controls VantStride's editorial content.

Where VantStride receives affiliate compensation, the commercial relationship does not give the third party authority to determine VantStride's independent educational opinions or conclusions.

Not every external link or recommendation appearing on VantStride is necessarily an affiliate link.

VantStride may also link to free resources, informational websites, educational materials, communities, tools or other third-party resources without receiving compensation.

The presence of a third-party product, service, brand or resource on VantStride does not by itself mean that the third party sponsors, endorses or is formally partnered with VantStride.

Where an actual commercial, affiliate or other relationship exists, it should be understood only to the extent of that specific relationship.

Third-party names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Users are responsible for evaluating products and services before purchasing them.

We encourage users to consider their own goals, budget, experience level and needs and to review current product details directly from the provider.

You are never required to purchase a third-party product or service in order to use the generally available portions of VantStride unless a particular feature or offering expressly states otherwise.

VantStride may add, remove or change affiliate relationships over time.

Accordingly, this Affiliate Disclosure may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our platform, business model, applicable requirements or disclosure practices.

The date at the top of this page indicates when this disclosure was last updated.
