Summary
Dero earns affiliate commissions when you click through to a partner site and make a purchase. This is how we keep the Service free. Our editorial content — search results, price data, and buying guides — is not influenced by commercial relationships. We show you the best price, regardless of which partner offers it.
1. Who We Are
Dero is a free price comparison platform for refurbished and secondhand products. We aggregate product listings from 65+ verified partner marketplaces — including BackMarket, Amazon Renewed, Apple Certified Refurbished, Decluttr, Gazelle, Swappa, and others — to help you find the best deal in one place.
Dero is operated by Dero Technologies. Our website is https://app.dero.ai.
2. How We Make Money
Dero earns revenue primarily through affiliate marketing. When you click on a product listing or "View deal" button and make a purchase on a partner site, Dero may receive a referral commission from that partner. This commission is paid by the retailer — it does not add any cost to you.
We may also earn revenue through:
- Display advertising: Contextual ads that may appear on certain pages
- Featured placements: Some partners may pay for enhanced visibility in sponsored sections, which are always clearly labeled
- Data partnerships: Anonymized, aggregated market trend data shared with industry partners
3. How This Affects Our Content
We are committed to editorial independence. Our commercial relationships do not influence:
- The order of organic search results (sorted by price, relevance, or your chosen filters)
- The price data shown for any product
- The condition grades or descriptions of products
- The buying guides and editorial content on our platform
When partners pay for sponsored placements, these are clearly labeled with a "Sponsored" badge. Sponsored results appear separately from organic search results.
The commission rate we receive from a partner does not affect where their products appear in organic results. A partner offering us a higher commission will not rank higher than a partner offering a lower price.
4. Our Partner Vetting Standards
We only partner with marketplaces that meet our minimum quality standards:
- At least a 6-month warranty on refurbished products
- A clear returns policy (14+ days minimum)
- Verified refurbishment process or certified pre-owned program
- Responsive customer support
- Positive track record and verified customer reviews
We reserve the right to remove or decline any partner whose practices do not meet our standards, regardless of revenue impact.
5. Buying Guides and Editorial Content
The buying guides published on Dero are written by our editorial team. They are based on product research, market data, and consumer best practices — not on payments from manufacturers or retailers.
Product mentions in buying guides may include links to partner marketplaces where you can compare prices. These links are affiliate links, but the editorial recommendation is made independently of any commercial relationship.
6. Price Accuracy
Product prices on Dero are sourced from partner feeds and updated regularly. Prices may change at any time and may differ from the price displayed at checkout due to taxes, shipping, promotions, or real-time price changes. Always verify the final price on the partner's site before purchasing.
We make every reasonable effort to display accurate, up-to-date pricing, but we cannot guarantee that all prices are current at the moment you view them.
7. FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and disclosure requirements for affiliate marketing, Dero discloses that product links may generate affiliate compensation.
This disclosure applies site-wide. You should assume that any link to a third-party retailer on Dero may result in a commission being paid to us if you make a purchase.
