How affiliate links work
When no student has listed a book on UniBookTrade, its book page, reading-list result or module reading list may also link to external retailers for the same ISBN. We always offer an alert for when a student lists a copy first; retailer links come second. Books with a copy for sale on UniBookTrade do not show these links. Retailer links are advertising and are marked Ad before you follow them.
If you follow an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase,UniBookTrade may receive a commission from the retailer or its affiliate network. The retailer pays that commission; we do not add an affiliate fee to the retailer's checkout price.
Amazon Associates
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
UniBookTrade takes part in the Amazon Associates programme. When an Amazon link appears, it is an affiliate link: if you buy through it, UniBookTrade may earn a commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you.
Our Amazon links are link-only. They go to the exact ISBN on Amazon.co.uk (or an Amazon search for that ISBN when it has no 10-digit equivalent). We do not show Amazon prices or say whether Amazon has a copy in stock. Amazon confirms the current price, seller, condition and delivery on its own website. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
How retailer options are selected and ordered
- Priced offers are included only when the retailer's approved data identifies the same valid ISBN as the UniBookTrade book page. We do not treat a similar title or another edition as a match.
- New and used books, and books available now, on backorder, or for preorder, are identified separately where the retailer supplies that information.
- Comparable offers are ordered by availability and the provider-supplied book price plus standard shipping where that figure is known. Other charges can still apply at retailer checkout. A link without approved price data is shown only as an option to check the retailer and is not described as the cheapest offer.
- The commission rate does not determine the order of retailer options.
Coverage and changing information
Our retailer coverage is not exhaustive. We show only participating retailers for which we have an authorised link or data source. Prices, delivery charges, condition, availability, promotions, and delivery estimates can change after our stated check time. Please verify the ISBN, edition, total price, and delivery estimate on the retailer's website before ordering.
Purchases from external retailers
An external retailer—not UniBookTrade—is responsible for its product information, checkout, payment, fulfilment, customer service, returns, and refunds. UniBookTrade buyer protection and our returns policy apply only to purchases completed directly onUniBookTrade. An external purchase is governed by that retailer's terms and privacy policy.
Privacy and measurement
We measure retailer-option views and clicks in aggregate so we can evaluate whether the comparison is useful. Our dedicated comparison records contain the event type, ISBN, retailer, placement, number of offers where relevant, and time. They do not contain an account ID, session ID, IP address, user agent, or referrer. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
