Affiliate Disclosure

How This Website Makes Money

HowToLaw.co.nz operates as an affiliate marketing platform for international dating services. This means we earn commissions when visitors click on our links and sign up for the dating platforms we recommend.

Specifically, we partner with five dating platforms:

• SakuraDate - https://sakuradate.com
• NaomiDate - https://naomidate.com
• MagnoliaDate - https://magnoliadate.com
• AsiaFlame - https://asiaflame.com
• ShantiDate - https://shantidate.com

All external links on our website include a tracking parameter (utm_netw=howtolaw.co.nz) that identifies referrals from our site. When you click these links and create an account or make a purchase on one of these platforms, we may receive a commission from that platform.

This commission-based model allows us to provide all of our content-including detailed reviews, cultural guides, dating advice, and safety tips-completely free to our visitors. You never pay us directly, and using our links does not increase the price you pay to the dating platforms.

What We Do (And Don't) Provide

To ensure complete transparency about our role, here's exactly what we offer and what we don't:

HowToLaw.co.nz is an informational resource and affiliate marketing site-not a marriage agency, dating service, or international marriage broker.

Are Our Reviews Influenced by Commissions?

This is an important question, and we want to address it directly. Yes, we earn commissions from the platforms we review. However, we are committed to maintaining honest, balanced, and useful reviews for several reasons:

Our Review Methodology:

• We prioritize accuracy and user value. Our goal is to provide information that genuinely helps you make informed decisions. If our reviews become misleading or unhelpful, we lose credibility and traffic-harming our long-term business.
• We include both positives and negatives. Each review discusses pros and cons of the platforms, including pricing concerns, feature limitations, and potential drawbacks.
• Platform selection is based on legitimacy and reputation. We only partner with dating platforms that have established track records, proper security measures, and reasonable user policies.
• We disclose relationships clearly. On every review page and throughout the site, we make our affiliate relationships transparent.

While we cannot claim to be completely unbiased-our business model creates an inherent incentive to recommend the platforms we partner with-we strive to provide honest assessments that reflect real strengths and weaknesses. We encourage you to read reviews from multiple sources and conduct your own research before making any decisions.

Important: No Guarantees of Relationships or Results

Success in international dating depends entirely on individual circumstances, including:

• Your personal qualities, communication skills, and relationship readiness
• The effort and time you invest in building connections
• Compatibility with potential partners
• Cultural understanding and mutual respect
• Legal and practical factors (visas, immigration, distance)
• Luck and timing

Some people find meaningful relationships through online dating platforms; others do not. We provide information to help you navigate the process, but we cannot and do not promise any specific results.

Realistic expectations are essential. International dating can be rewarding, but it also involves challenges, risks, and no guarantees. Approach it with patience, caution, and a clear understanding that outcomes vary widely.

Your Responsibility: Do Your Due Diligence

While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, you are ultimately responsible for your own decisions and safety when using international dating platforms. We strongly encourage you to:

• Research platforms independently. Don't rely solely on our reviews-read feedback from other users, check independent review sites, and search for any complaints or concerns.
• Read terms and conditions carefully. Understand the pricing, cancellation policies, refund procedures, and privacy practices of any platform before signing up.
• Verify legitimacy and security. Check that platforms use encryption, have clear privacy policies, and follow industry best practices for data protection.
• Be cautious with financial information. Never send money to individuals you meet online, and protect your payment details when purchasing credits or subscriptions.
• Report suspicious activity. If you encounter scams, fake profiles, or concerning behavior, report it to the platform immediately and consider reporting to relevant authorities.
• Consult professionals when needed. For legal questions (visas, marriage laws, international regulations), immigration matters, or other specialized concerns, seek advice from qualified attorneys or licensed consultants.

Your safety and informed decision-making are your responsibility. We provide information to help, but we cannot protect you from all risks or guarantee the actions of third-party platforms or individuals you meet through them.

Platforms May Change Policies or Pricing

The dating platforms we review and recommend-SakuraDate, NaomiDate, MagnoliaDate, AsiaFlame, and ShantiDate-are independent businesses that operate separately from HowToLaw.co.nz. These platforms may change their features, pricing, terms of service, or business practices at any time without notice to us.

We are not responsible for:

• Changes to platform features, pricing, or policies
• The quality of services provided by these platforms
• Disputes between users and dating platforms
• Technical issues, outages, or security breaches on partner sites
• The accuracy of information on partner platforms
• The behavior or authenticity of profiles on these platforms

We make reasonable efforts to keep our reviews and information current, but you should always verify details directly with the platform before signing up or making any financial commitments.

If you encounter inaccurate information on our site, please contact us so we can update it.
