Third-party advertising and sponsorship

Our website partly relies on funding to operate, allowing us to provide you with free access to our content. As part of this funding strategy, we may allow the third parties to advertise, promote their brands, products, and services, or make special announcements on the Nord Time website. Each advertiser and/or sponsor is solely responsible for the content of its advertising and/or sponsorship material and/or offerings.

Affiliate links advertising disclosure

Some of the links on our website directing you to specific service providers, manufacturers, or retailers are affiliate links. This means that we may receive compensation through an arrangement with a third party if you click on certain links on our website and/or make a purchase after clicking on one of our affiliate links. The third party can identify if you’ve visited its website directly from ours. For example, as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We only include links to equipment, tools, software, and services that we believe are useful to our readers. Some of the equipment we test for our articles — cameras and lenses, instruments, sewing machines, craft supplies, kitchen equipment, and software or app subscriptions — is supplied by brands for testing purposes only. We never accept products as gifts or compensation, and they do not influence the objectivity of our content. We do not submit our editorial content to any service provider, manufacturer, or retailer for pre-publication review or approval. Other than input about broad topic areas, we do not allow anyone to influence our editorial content. For more details, please refer to our Advertising and Sponsorship Policy.

Sources protection

You have the option to send us a story or a tip that you think Nord Time should cover. We respect the privacy and anonymity of our sources unless a competent authority (e.g. state agency) lawfully requires disclosure and we have exploited all the possible remedies at our disposal.

No professional advice

All content on or available through the Nord Time website, including text, graphics, images and information, is for general information purposes only and should not be relied on as professional advice. Our coverage of career, finance, technology, entertainment, hobbies and personal growth is journalism and general explanation, not individual guidance. Our finance coverage includes explainers and beginner guides on saving, budgeting, credit and investing, including index funds, mutual funds and property. It is general information and journalism, not financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and nothing in it is a personal recommendation to buy, sell or hold any investment. We are not authorised or regulated as a financial adviser in any jurisdiction. The value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you put in. Past performance is not a guide to future results, and tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and can change. Where an article names a product, fund, fund type or provider, that is illustration rather than endorsement. Speak to a qualified, regulated adviser before making an investment decision. Our personal growth coverage may touch on wellbeing, motivation, stress, sleep and habits. It is general information and is not a substitute for professional support from a doctor, therapist or counsellor. If you are struggling with your mental health, contact a qualified professional or your local health service. If you are in immediate danger or in crisis, contact your local emergency number or a crisis helpline in your country straight away. Our career coverage describes general practice. Employment law, tax and contracts differ by country and by individual circumstance, so confirm anything affecting your employment, immigration status or income with a qualified professional in your jurisdiction. Our technology, hobby, craft and music coverage may describe tools, materials, settings, repairs and techniques. Follow the manufacturer’s own instructions and safety warnings first, and do not attempt anything that requires a licensed or insured professional. These fields move quickly and information may be out of date by the time you read it. Nord Time makes no representation and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained on or available through this website, and such information is subject to change without notice. You are encouraged to confirm anything you intend to rely on against other sources. Nord Time does not recommend, endorse or make any representations about the efficacy, appropriateness or suitability of any specific product, tool, service, platform, employer, provider, opinion or testimonial that may be contained on or available through this website. Nord Time is not responsible nor liable for any advice, decision or outcome arising from any information or products you obtain through this website.
