Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure

We built Ice Machine Finder to make it easier to find and compare commercial ice machine rental companies. To keep the site free for the businesses that use it, we earn money in a few ways. We think you deserve to know exactly how, so here is a plain-language explanation.

Ice Machine Finder Is Free for Businesses

Browsing listings, comparing providers, using our tools, and requesting quotes is completely free for you. You never pay Ice Machine Finder to use the site or to be matched with a rental company, and no account is required.

How We Make Money

Ice Machine Finder is compensated by ice machine rental companies and partners — not by the businesses searching for one. To fulfill quote requests, we work with a partner, 360Connect, that receives requests and connects you with rental companies. Our revenue may come from:

• Referral and lead fees. When you submit a quote request, we may receive a fee — including through our partner 360Connect — for connecting you with a rental company. In most cases this is a flat fee for the introduction, not a commission on what you eventually spend.
• Featured or enhanced placement. Some providers may pay to be featured, highlighted, or given enhanced placement in certain areas of the site. Where a placement is paid, we work to label it clearly (for example, as “Featured” or “Sponsored”).
• Affiliate and partner links. Some outbound links may be affiliate or partner links. If you click one and take an action, we may earn compensation at no additional cost to you.

How This Affects — and Doesn’t Affect — Our Content

Getting compensated creates an obvious question: does it change what we say about a provider? Here is how we handle that.

Our listings are independently researched

Every company profile is researched, written, and reviewed by our team. Listings are not auto-generated, and they are not written by the providers themselves. The factual details in a listing — services, coverage area, and the like — are not for sale, and paying us does not change them.

Compensation can affect placement, not the facts

Paid arrangements may affect where or how prominently a provider appears — for example, whether it is featured. When that is the case, we aim to indicate it. Compensation does not change the accuracy of our research, and a provider cannot pay to have unfavorable factual information removed.

A listing is not an endorsement

Appearing on Ice Machine Finder — whether in a free or paid placement — is not a recommendation, guarantee, or endorsement of any provider. You should always do your own due diligence and confirm details directly with a company before signing an agreement.

No Guarantees on Pricing or Providers

Quotes come directly from the rental companies, not from us. We do not set, control, or guarantee any provider’s pricing, availability, equipment, or performance. Any cost figures or estimates on the site are for general guidance only and may differ from the quotes you receive.

Our FTC Disclosure

This page is provided in the spirit of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and advertising disclosures (16 CFR Part 255). Our goal is simple: to be upfront about our business model so you can weigh our content with full context.
