Evidence is not for sale
TasteFromSoul Research and Product Intelligence remain the evidence authority. Affiliate commission, merchant status, product economics or Store placement cannot determine Research conclusions or Evidence Fit.
Store Alpha · Trust & Independence
Commercial discovery cannot rewrite the evidence.
Store Alpha helps users discover products by practical context. TasteFromSoul Research and Product Intelligence are separate governed evidence layers. This separation is a product rule, not a marketing claim.
Store placement is not endorsement
Collections organize practical browsing contexts. A product appearing in Store Alpha does not mean TasteFromSoul scientifically endorses it, recommends it for everyone or has completed Product Intelligence for that exact product.
Commercial relationships are disclosed
Where a merchant path is an affiliate relationship, the relationship must be disclosed before the compensated outbound action. No-commercial-relationship paths remain labeled as such. Sponsored or paid placement is not authorized for Store Alpha unless separately governed.
External merchants remain the seller
Store Alpha is a discovery and referral layer. Purchases are completed with the external merchant, which controls checkout, payment, delivery, returns, refunds, warranties and order support subject to applicable law.
Relationship states
What a commercial relationship can — and cannot — change
It may change
Whether an outbound link can generate commission and which disclosure must appear before that click.
It cannot change
Product admission standards, Research interpretation, Product Intelligence, Evidence Fit, scientific claims or the meaning of collection membership.
Product information
Facts, evidence and merchant data stay distinct.
Product facts are sourced and freshness-bounded. Evidence state comes from governed TasteFromSoul Product Intelligence where an exact mapping exists. Merchant price and availability are commercial observations and may change.
Corrections
Errors should be correctable.
Incorrect product facts, stale merchant information, broken links, disclosure concerns or scientific-link inconsistencies should be reported through the TasteFromSoul contact route once the launch contact details are formally confirmed.
Pre-launch legal identity boundary
Operator details are not being invented.
Store Alpha remains pre-launch. The authorized legal/business operator identity, public business contact details, jurisdiction information and any legally required registration details must be confirmed by the operator before production commercial launch. Until then, this trust surface does not represent legal-clearance completion.
