Advertising and affiliate disclosure

Outage Desk is free to use. It is paid for in two ways.

Display ads

There are no ads on the site yet. When they are added, they will be labeled "Advertisement", will never appear above the outage answer or the report button, and advertisers will have no say over outage data or what we write.

Affiliate links

There are no affiliate links on the site yet. When they are added, this is how they will work.

Some modules, labeled "Affiliate links", will point to products such as portable power stations, or to services that compare internet providers at your address. If you buy through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only show internet providers that serve the area of the page, once provider availability data is in place.

Affiliate relationships never change outage numbers, status levels or live blog content. Utility and provider names appear because they are the source or the subject of the data, not because of any relationship with us.
