Note: this is a standard affiliate disclosure template. The bolded line at the top is Amazon’s exact required disclosure wording — keep it visible on every page carrying Amazon links. Update the “Amazon Associate” section once your actual Associates account(s) are approved, and confirm wording against current FTC/ASCI disclosure requirements before relying on it.
