House of Staunton Affiliate Program
Members and visitors to this site are asked to help support the Club by entering the House of Staunton via this graphical link when making their chess purchases.
The House of Staunton Affiliate Program provides the Club with a way to generate revenue, whilst continuing to provide a completely free service to all members. There is no profit element. 100% of income is used to cover the running expenses of the Club, and support any chess-related initiatives undertaken by the Club.
The only way that income is generated for the Club is by:
- clicking on the House of Staunton logo on this page to visit the House of Staunton, and
- making a subsequent purchase.
You can, of course, click the link to visit the House of Staunton and browse the site without making a purchase. But if you subsequently decide to purchase something from House of Staunton, you can help support the Club by again entering the site via the logo on this page.
