Affiliate Disclaimer

How affiliate links work

An affiliate link includes tracking information that allows a retailer or service provider to recognise a referred purchase. If you follow one of these links and complete a qualifying transaction, Volleybond may receive a commission. You do not pay Volleybond for using the link. Prices, availability and the retailer’s terms can still change independently.

Where a commercial relationship could affect how a reader understands a recommendation, we aim to identify it clearly in the relevant article or near the link. This page provides the fuller policy; it is not intended to replace article-level disclosure.

Amazon Associates Programme

Volleybond.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated Amazon sites. Qualifying purchases made through eligible Amazon links may generate a commission for Volleybond.

Other affiliate programmes

Volleybond may also work with sports retailers, equipment brands, ticket providers, streaming services or other relevant partners. Not every external or product link is an affiliate link. When a link is monetised or content is commercially supported, we aim to disclose that relationship in language readers can readily notice and understand.

How commercial links relate to our coverage

A commission does not purchase a favourable review or guarantee inclusion. Gear coverage should explain the basis of its judgement, which may include technical specifications, documented user experience, player feedback, comparison with similar products or direct testing where that has actually taken place. We will not describe a product as personally tested unless it was.

Products supplied for review, sponsorships and other material relationships should be disclosed separately. Recommendations may change as products, prices and evidence change.

Purchases, suitability and third-party services

Equipment fit is personal. A shoe, knee pad or training product that suits one player may not suit another player’s body, role, court surface or level of play. Our coverage is general information and cannot guarantee individual fit, comfort, performance or injury prevention.

Purchases are completed with the third-party seller, not Volleybond. Questions about payment, stock, packaging, delivery, returns, warranties and customer service should be directed to the retailer or manufacturer named in the transaction.

Questions about a disclosure

If a commercial relationship is unclear, or you have a question about how a product was assessed, contact us and include the URL of the relevant article.
