Prior to submitting your resource to Thinkswap’s database, ‘Thinkswap Genius’ will analyse your work to determine what it’s about. In doing so, relevant ‘tags’ will be generated allowing other users to find other closely related resources. You would be surprised how many times the same subject/assessment is examined across different universities. This means that you will have access to a wide variety of resources you may not have known about otherwise.

Thinkswap is aimed at providing a platform whereby uni students can exchange learning material, with the purpose of improving their education, whilst also rewarding students for their hard work and time spent in creating that work. We at Thinkswap believe that students should be making money from past study notes and assignments that they are proud of and have worked so hard to produce.

Exchange credits can be purchased through any valid PayPal account. To register for PayPal, click the following link: http://www.paypal.com.au/au

‘Think energy’ is a new and efficient way of organising relevant information based on the activity surrounding resources on Thinkswap. In essence, it allows the best content to flow to the top of categories and the home page, allowing users to find those resources that are best reviewed, most purchased and overall considered most useful.

Any uploaded document will have to be approved by Thinkswap before any exchange credits are issued. If your document meets the product type, description and Thinkswap's terms and conditions exchange credits will be applied in 24 hours. This time period is subject to change during certain periods.

Thinkswap takes great care to ensure that all resources within the database are accurately reflected in terms of their description, content, title, and that the title matches the content and category. If you feel that you have purchased a resource that is not accurately described, and if we feel you have a strong case, we will refund you 100% of the purchase price. It is important to note that Thinkswap does not guarantee the quality of any resource and will not refund any money if the resource has been accurately described but is not up to your standard in terms of quality. In this case however, you can reflect your opinion and views by reviewing the resource.

All checked out resources can be viewed in ‘My Library’ under the ‘My Account’ tab. Resources will only be viewable online, to logged in users. Thinkswap’s online document viewer will allow you to print watermarked copies, however copy and paste functions will not be available. Please note that resources cannot be manually downloaded or emailed.

We take your privacy very seriously. In short, we will not disclose your information to any third party unless you have given us permission to do so. For further information, please read our Privacy Policy.

Exchange Credits form the currency of the Thinkswap marketplace. Depending on the resource uploaded, you will receive a certain number of exchange credits:

* Unit of Study outline/Subject Guide (0 exchange credits)
* Past Exam Paper (without solutions) (1 exchange credits)
* Past Exam Paper (with solutions) (3 exchange credits)
* Study Notes ( must be authored by you and cover at least half the topics in the semester) (3 exchange credits)
* Assignment (5 exchange credits)

Exchange credits received for uploading can then be exchanged for equivalent documents on the Thinkswap database.

Alternatively, Exchange Credits can be purchased directly, allowing you to access your chosen resource instantly:

* 1 credit = $5AUD
* 5 credits = $15AUD
* 15 credits = $25AUD

All documents uploaded to Thinkswap must be in PDF format. Any document created in Microsoft office (on any other processing package) can easily be converted to PDF by simply changing the ‘Save as’ file type to PDF or XPS.

Thinkswap will accept any handwritten content that has been scanned so long as it is in PDF format. Please however ensure that content is legible prior to uploading.

Yes, it is legal to buy and sell academic content for the vast majority of University students. Subject to your University’s intellectual property policies, if you have created any academic content, you are generally considered to have copyright ownership in that work (as long as you are not a University employee). Accordingly, unless you transfer copyright in writing to another party (e.g. your University), you own and will be entitled to submit your University work for sale - so go for it! It is also permissible to download and buy academic content from other students; the key is how you use it. Thinkswap suggests you use whatever you purchase as a resource tool only to help you complete your course. Keep in mind that Thinkswap bears no liability for users caught infringing upon the copyright of other authors or University plagiarism policies.
