First in Dallas (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is a reader-supported publication operated by TFS LLC, based in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Some of the links and recommendations on our website and in our newsletter are affiliate links. If you click those links and make a purchase or take an action, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
1. Our Affiliate Relationships
We participate in one or more affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program – As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
- AdQuire Media – Used for sponsored offers and partner placements within our newsletter or website.
- Other Affiliate Partners (Future Programs) – We may join additional programs such as VPN services or local merchant networks as our brand expands.
Each affiliate program uses cookies or tracking tools to record sales for commission purposes. These are covered in our [Cookie Policy →].
2. How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link from First in Dallas:
- A unique tracking code is added to the URL.
- If you complete a purchase or sign up with that partner, we may receive a referral fee.
- This helps us fund our newsletter and keep local content free for readers.
You will always pay the same price — our commission comes from the merchant’s marketing budget.
3. Affiliate Integrity and Editorial Independence
We value trust and transparency. All affiliate recommendations are based on our own editorial criteria and local relevance, not payments.
- Affiliates do not influence our editorial coverage or event curation.
- We only feature products and services we believe provide value to our Dallas-area readers.
- Sponsored content will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Promotion,” or “Ad.”
4. Why We Disclose
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires publishers to disclose any financial relationships that may affect content recommendations. Our goal is complete transparency so you understand when a link may generate revenue for us.
5. No Guarantees or Liability
Affiliate links lead to third-party sites. We are not responsible for:
- Pricing changes or product availability
- Fulfillment errors or warranty issues
- Any claims made by third-party vendors
Please review each merchant’s own policies before purchasing or signing up.
