Trust rule

Clear labels

Organic event ranking is not for sale.

This board is the public structure for future deals. Until a card is marked as a partner offer or affiliate link, treat it as a category under review, not an endorsement.

Clear price, fees, cancellation terms, and refund path.

English support or a plain warning when support is Japanese-only.

Useful non-paid alternatives when the decision is high-risk.

No misleading urgency, inflated discount math, or hidden recurring charge.

Sponsor and affiliate labels placed next to the outbound link.

Editorial event ranking and verification stay separate from paid placement.

Offer lanes

The first partner categories to evaluate.

These lanes match repeated Tokyo planning problems. Real offers can be added later without changing the disclosure model.

Label system

How commercial labels work.

A useful offer can still be commercial. The important part is making that relationship clear before someone clicks.

Editorial pick

No payment or commission. Included because it is useful to Tokyo Loop readers.

Partner offer

A commercial relationship exists and the offer is labeled near the link.

Affiliate link

Tokyo Loop may earn a commission if someone buys or signs up through that link.

Sponsored

A partner paid for distribution. Sponsored placement does not buy organic ranking.

Under review

The category is useful, but no paid offer is live until the review rules are met.
