Partner Disclosure

Last updated August 2026

Short version

Some optional links on this site — refinancing, insurance quotes, and independent vehicle service contracts — are partner links. If you use one, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. It never changes your Deal Score, your findings, or what we tell you to do.

Where partner links appear

Partner links only show up after your review, in the "Next steps to save money" section, and below our dealer-fee and buying guides. They are always labelled, always open in a new tab, and are never mixed into your findings or your negotiation script.

How we choose partners

We suggest a category only when your own numbers make it relevant — for example, refinancing when the quoted APR looks high or the financing was arranged by the dealership. Commission amounts are not an input to any score, ranking, warning, or recommendation on this site.

What we never do

We do not sell your personal information, and we never hand your contact details or your uploaded documents to a dealership or a partner without asking you first. Clicks on partner links are counted anonymously — offer, page, and time only.

Estimates, not promises

Refinancing, insurance, and coverage pricing depend on your credit, your state, and the company you choose. Anything we describe is an estimate to check, not a guaranteed saving.

Before You Sign provides educational estimates only. It is not a law firm, lender, dealership, or financial adviser.
