Regal Ticker is committed to maintaining a clear distinction between independent educational content and commercial communication.
This Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure explains how Regal Ticker will identify:
- Advertisements
- Sponsored content
- Affiliate links
- Commercial partnerships
- Free products or services
- Paid collaborations
- Referral arrangements

It also explains how these relationships may affect website revenue and how Regal Ticker aims to protect editorial independence.

Current Position
Regal Ticker is currently being developed primarily as a stock-market learning and investor-utility platform.
The website may introduce advertising, sponsorships, affiliate links or other monetisation methods as it grows.
A description of a possible commercial method in this policy does not necessarily mean that the method is currently active on every page or anywhere on the website.
Where a commercial relationship applies to particular content, Regal Ticker aims to disclose it clearly near the relevant content.
Why This Disclosure Exists
Advertising and affiliate relationships can create a financial connection between a publisher and a product or service provider.
Readers should be able to understand when Regal Ticker may:
- Receive payment for publishing content
- Earn commission from a link
- Receive a free product or service
- Participate in a commercial campaign
- Receive another benefit connected with a mention or review
This information helps readers distinguish independent editorial content from commercial communication.
What Is a Material Connection?
A material connection is a relationship or benefit that could reasonably affect how a reader understands a mention, review, comparison or endorsement.
It may include:
- Direct payment
- Affiliate commission
- Referral fees
- Free products
- Free account access
- Discounted services
- Event invitations
- Travel or accommodation
- Gifts
- Advertising arrangements
- Sponsorships
- Employment
- Consultancy
- Business partnerships
- Revenue-sharing arrangements
- Family or close personal relationships
- Other financial or non-financial benefits
A material connection may exist even when the writer’s opinion remains honest.
How Commercial Content Will Be Labelled
Where applicable, Regal Ticker may use clear labels such as:
- Advertisement
- Sponsored
- Sponsored Content
- Paid Partnership
- Affiliate
- Contains Affiliate Links
- Collaboration
- Promotional Content
- Free Product Provided
- Partner Content
The label used will depend on the nature of the relationship.
Disclosures should be placed where an average reader can notice them without having to search through the footer, author biography or a separate policy page.
Article-Level Disclosure
A commercial disclosure may appear:
- Near the top of an article
- Before the first affiliate link
- Beside a comparison table
- Inside a product or service review
- Near a promotional button
- Before sponsored video or audio content
- In another clearly visible location
This general policy does not replace a disclosure required on the individual page.
Affiliate Links
An affiliate link is a specially tracked link that may allow Regal Ticker to receive a commission or referral benefit when a visitor completes an eligible action.
The visitor may:
- Visit another website
- Open an account
- Register for a service
- Purchase a product
- Subscribe to a service
- Complete another eligible action
Unless expressly stated otherwise, using an affiliate link should not increase the normal price paid by the visitor.
However, prices, fees, eligibility conditions and offers are controlled by the external provider and may change.
Affiliate Commission
When an affiliate relationship applies, Regal Ticker may receive:
- A fixed referral payment
- A percentage commission
- A lead-generation fee
- A subscription commission
- Another agreed commercial benefit
Receiving a commission does not make a product or service suitable for every visitor.
Readers remain responsible for independently evaluating the provider, product, cost, risk and applicable conditions.
No Guarantee of Acceptance or Approval
Following an affiliate link does not guarantee that a visitor will:
- Qualify for an account
- Receive a particular price
- Receive a promotional offer
- Pass identity verification
- Obtain regulatory approval
- Receive credit
- Receive a financial product
- Achieve an investment result
Eligibility decisions are made by the relevant provider.
No Personalised Recommendation
An affiliate link or commercial mention should not be interpreted as:
- Personalised investment advice
- A stock recommendation
- A mutual-fund recommendation
- A trading signal
- A portfolio recommendation
- A recommendation to participate in an IPO
- A guarantee of safety
- A guarantee of financial returns
- A statement that the product is suitable for every visitor
Regal Ticker, Regal Group and Dilip Kumar are not presented as SEBI-registered Investment Advisers or Research Analysts.
Sponsored Content
Sponsored content is material for which Regal Ticker receives payment or another benefit from a commercial party.
Sponsored content may include:
- An article
- A guide
- A video
- A social-media post
- A newsletter placement
- A banner
- A tool placement
- A comparison feature
- A branded educational campaign
- Another promotional format
Sponsored content should be labelled so that readers can understand its commercial nature.
Sponsored Educational Content
A sponsor may support educational content without controlling every editorial statement.
Where this occurs, Regal Ticker may use wording such as:
This educational resource is supported by [Sponsor Name]. Regal Ticker retains responsibility for its editorial presentation.
The precise disclosure will depend on the arrangement.
Sponsorship should not be used to conceal advertising as independent editorial content.
Display Advertising
Regal Ticker may display advertisements through:
- Direct advertising arrangements
- Advertising networks
- Programmatic advertising
- Sponsored banners
- Native advertising
- Newsletter advertising
- Other approved advertising services
Advertisements may be selected according to:
- Page context
- General audience categories
- Advertising-network settings
- Campaign criteria
- Visitor choices
- Other permitted factors
Advertising should be visually distinguishable from the main educational article where reasonably practical.
Advertising Cookies
Some advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Deliver advertisements
- Measure impressions
- Limit repeated advertisements
- Detect fraudulent activity
- Measure campaign performance
- Personalise advertising where permitted
Advertising cookies should not be activated without the relevant privacy notice and preference controls where required.
Readers should review the Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy for additional information.
Free Products and Services
A company may provide Regal Ticker or an author with:
- Free software access
- A trial subscription
- Event access
- Research tools
- A demonstration account
- A product
- Another service or benefit
Where the benefit is connected with published content, it should be disclosed appropriately.
Receiving something free does not automatically require a positive review.
Honest Opinions
A commercial relationship does not permit Regal Ticker to knowingly publish a false or misleading statement.
Where opinions are published, they should represent the genuine assessment of the author or editorial team at the time of publication.
Regal Ticker may identify:
- Benefits
- Limitations
- Costs
- Risks
- Eligibility requirements
- Missing features
- Suitable use cases
- Areas requiring independent verification
A sponsor or affiliate partner should not be allowed to purchase a guaranteed positive opinion.
Editorial Independence
Regal Ticker aims to maintain editorial control over its educational content.
Commercial partners should not determine:
- The conclusion of an independent guide
- Whether a material risk is removed
- Whether a factual error remains uncorrected
- Whether a required disclosure is hidden
- How official information is represented
- Whether criticism supported by evidence is suppressed
A partner may request correction of a demonstrable factual error but should not control independent editorial judgment.
Separation of Editorial and Commercial Activity
Where practical, Regal Ticker will distinguish between:
Editorial Content
Content selected and prepared primarily for education, explanation or reader utility.
Commercial Content
Content published as part of an advertisement, sponsorship, affiliate arrangement or other commercial relationship.
Some content may have both educational and commercial elements. Such content should contain an appropriate disclosure.
Product and Service Comparisons
A comparison may include one or more commercial partners.
Where applicable, Regal Ticker should explain:
- Whether affiliate links are present
- Whether a company paid for placement
- Whether the order of products is commercially influenced
- Whether all available market options were reviewed
- The criteria used for comparison
- Important limitations of the comparison
A comparison should not claim to represent the entire market unless it genuinely does.
Ranking and Placement
Regal Ticker should not claim that a product is:
- Best
- Number one
- Safest
- Cheapest
- Most profitable
- Guaranteed
- Risk-free
unless the claim is supported by reliable, current and appropriately defined evidence.
Paid placement should not be presented as an independent ranking without disclosure.
Where commercial factors influence placement, this should be stated clearly.
Financial Products and Services
Extra care is required when advertising or linking to financial products and services.
These may include:
- Brokerage accounts
- Demat accounts
- Trading platforms
- Mutual-fund platforms
- Research tools
- Market-data services
- Credit products
- Insurance
- Banking services
- Tax services
- Investment applications
- Courses related to trading or investing
Regal Ticker should avoid promotions involving:
- Guaranteed investment returns
- Assured trading profits
- Secret market strategies
- Unregistered advisory services
- Misleading past-performance claims
- Pressure-based financial promotions
- Products that appear unlawful or fraudulent
- Claims that minimise or conceal investment risk
Due Diligence
Before accepting a material commercial relationship, Regal Ticker may review available information such as:
- Provider identity
- Website
- Contact information
- Regulatory status where relevant
- Product description
- Fees
- Terms and conditions
- Public complaints
- Available official records
- Advertising claims
- Affiliate-program requirements
Due diligence reduces risk but does not guarantee the quality, legality, security or future conduct of an external provider.
Regulatory Status of Partners
A commercial relationship does not mean that Regal Ticker guarantees a partner’s:
- Registration
- Licensing
- Financial condition
- Data security
- Customer service
- Regulatory compliance
- Product performance
- Future availability
Readers should verify relevant regulatory status through official sources before using a financial service.
Prohibited or Restricted Promotions

- Other content inconsistent with Regal Ticker’s educational purpose
Acceptance of advertising remains at Regal Ticker’s discretion, subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.
Partner Claims
Claims made by an advertiser or commercial partner remain subject to verification.
Regal Ticker may request:
- Evidence supporting a factual claim
- Current fee information
- Regulatory details
- Product terms
- Risk disclosures
- Clarification of promotional conditions
- Correction of misleading wording
Regal Ticker may reject or remove a promotion when adequate support is not provided.

A displayed offer may be:
- Time-limited
- Location-specific
- Available only to new users
- Subject to eligibility
- Subject to minimum activity
- Subject to tax or fees
- Withdrawn by the provider
- Different from the offer eventually displayed on the provider’s website
Readers should review the provider’s current terms before acting.
External Websites
Affiliate and advertising links may lead to websites that Regal Ticker does not control.
External providers may have their own:
- Terms of use
- Privacy policies
- Cookie policies
- Eligibility requirements
- Fees
- Risk disclosures
- Complaint procedures
- Regulatory obligations
Regal Ticker is not responsible for every action, statement or technical issue on an independent external website.
Tracking and Attribution
Affiliate providers may use:
- Tracking links
- Referral identifiers
- Cookies
- Campaign codes
- Conversion records
- Other attribution technologies
These technologies may help determine whether Regal Ticker is eligible to receive a commission.
Details should be handled in accordance with the Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.
No Additional Cost Claim
Regal Ticker may state that an affiliate link does not normally increase the user’s price only when that statement is reasonably accurate.
An external provider may independently:
- Change its pricing
- Charge account fees
- Apply taxes
- Apply transaction charges
- Offer different plans
- Change promotional conditions
Readers should always verify the final amount directly with the provider.
Social-Media Disclosures
When commercial content is published on social media, the disclosure should appear prominently in the post, video, image or audio as appropriate.
The disclosure should not be hidden:
- Only in the profile biography
- At the end of a long caption
- Behind a “more” button
- Among unrelated hashtags
- On a separate webpage only
- In text that is difficult to read
Platform-provided paid-partnership tools may be used in addition to a clear disclosure.
Video and Audio Content
Sponsored video or audio content should contain a disclosure that can reasonably be noticed by the audience.
Depending on the format, the disclosure may be:
- Spoken
- Displayed on screen
- Included in the title or description
- Repeated where necessary
- Added using the platform’s promotional-content tool
A disclosure should not be placed only after the promotional message has ended.
Newsletter Promotions
Commercial links or paid placements in an email newsletter should be clearly identified.
A newsletter may use labels such as:
- Sponsored
- Advertisement
- Affiliate Link
- Partner Message
Newsletter subscribers should not be misled into believing that paid material is independent editorial content.
Author and Contributor Relationships
Authors and contributors should disclose relevant relationships that could affect their coverage.
These may include:
- Employment
- Consultancy
- Share ownership
- Gifts
- Free access
- Sponsorship
- Referral payments
- Close personal relationships
- Other material benefits
A disclosure may be added to the article, author profile or both, depending on the relevance of the relationship.
Securities Holdings and Conflicts
Where an author has a material financial interest in a security or company directly discussed in an article, Regal Ticker may disclose the interest when reasonably necessary to help readers understand the potential conflict.
Regal Ticker should not publish promotional content intended to manipulate the market price or trading activity of a security.
Reader Responsibility
Before using a promoted or linked service, readers should independently review:
- Regulatory status
- Fees
- Risks
- Privacy practices
- Account conditions
- Product suitability
- Cancellation terms
- Customer-support arrangements
- Current official information
A commercial disclosure provides transparency but does not replace independent evaluation.
