Affiliate Disclosure

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that contain tracking codes. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. This is a common practice that helps websites like ours provide free content while generating revenue to cover operating costs.

Important: Using our affiliate links doesn't cost you anything extra. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's website.

Our Affiliate Partners

CribNectar participates in several affiliate programs, including:

• Amazon Associates Program: We earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on our site.
• Other Retail Partners: We may have affiliate relationships with other online retailers that sell student and home products.
• Service Providers: Occasionally, we may recommend services (software, subscriptions, etc.) and earn commissions from sign-ups.

We will always disclose our affiliate relationships clearly on pages where affiliate links are present.

Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations

Here's how we maintain our commitment to honest recommendations:

• AI Curation: Our AI analyzes product specifications, customer reviews, and suitability factors for student needs and budgets.
• Student Focus: Products are selected based on their relevance to student living situations and space constraints.
• Honest Reviews: We share both pros and cons of products, including any limitations or drawbacks.
• Student-Focused: Every recommendation is evaluated based on student budgets, space constraints, and practical needs.
• Regular Updates: We regularly review and update our recommendations based on new products, price changes, and user feedback.
