Disclaimer

Independence & no affiliation

All trademarks, logos, brand names and product images shown on The Real Deal are the property of their respective owners.

The Real Deal is an independent deal-discovery platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any brand or retailer featured on the site.

We do not sell any products. When you click "View Deal" or "Go to Store", you leave The Real Deal and are redirected to the retailer's or brand's own website to view and complete any purchase there.

How we make money

The Real Deal is free to use and has no checkout - you cannot buy products on our platform, and we never take payment for purchases.

We earn revenue through commercial partnerships with some (not all) of the featured brands and retailers - including affiliate/referral commissions, cost-per-click (CPC) fees, newsletter/sponsorship, and paid featured placements. We may earn a commission when you click through or buy on the retailer's site; this never changes the price you pay.

We don't partner with every brand shown. Where we have no commercial relationship with a brand, we earn nothing from its deals - they appear simply because our system found them relevant.

Our RealRank™ rankings and deal scores are independent and are never influenced by payment - brands cannot pay for a higher RealRank™ score. Featured or partner placements (such as Trending Brand Deals) are curated separately from the RealRank™ deals and may involve a commercial relationship; this disclosure and the notice in our site footer cover those placements.

TRD rankings (RealRank™ score)

TRD rankings are generated automatically by our algorithm based on factors such as discount size, price and market value.

Rankings are not paid placements - brands and retailers cannot pay to achieve a higher RealRank™ score. Any paid, sponsored or partner placement is curated separately from RealRank™ and disclosed here and in our site footer.

Rankings are provided for general guidance only. They are not financial, investment or purchasing advice. Always confirm details on the retailer's website before buying.

"Verified" deal tags

A "Verified" tag means RealRank™ assessed the deal as a genuine discount against typical market pricing at the time of checking.

It is an automated estimate, not a guarantee. Prices change frequently and errors can occur.

Always confirm the current and final price on the retailer's website before making a purchase decision.

Brand imagery & AI-generated backgrounds

Product images are sourced from retailers and remain the property of their respective owners; they are shown for referential purposes to help you identify the deal.

Some brand or store pages use AI-generated background imagery for illustrative purposes only. These backgrounds are not official assets of, supplied by, or endorsed by the brand.

If you are a brand or retailer and would like imagery updated or removed, contact us at matt@therealdeal.shop.

Prices & availability

Prices, discounts, savings and availability shown on The Real Deal are captured from retailer sources and may change at any time, including after we last checked.

The final price and terms are always those shown on the retailer's own website at the time of purchase.

The Real Deal is not responsible for the products, prices, fulfilment, returns or customer service of any third-party retailer.
