GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS
Look and Feel of Advertisements:
* Ads must have a distinct border to clearly identify where the page ends, and ad begins.
* The advertiser must be clearly identified in the ad unit and must be at least 11 point size font if text or clearly legible logo.
* Ads must not mimic news headlines in design, tone, third person sentence structure, or topic.
* Ads must follow proper grammar conventions.
* Ads must not contain low quality images: no low resolution, poorly lit, grainy, stretched images, and no images that look like amateur photography.
* Ads must not mention the user's specific age. Age ranges need to be at least 3 years inclusive (e.g., 35+ is ok, or 40-42 is ok).
Accuracy of Information:
* Ads must comply with all applicable FTC guidelines and other applicable laws, rules and regulations (including without limitation industry-endorsed, self-regulatory principles or guidelines).
* If containing free offers and discounts, ads must disclose within the ad all material terms and conditions relating to the free offer or special discount and provide within the ad simple access to all the detailed information pertaining to the method of qualifying for the free offer.
* If referring to local services or products, ads must clearly disclose the advertiser's location BY CITY AND STATE.
* Ads must not contain or imply inaccurate or unpermitted affiliation or endorsement, including but not limited to any affiliation with jdsavage.com.
* If "Free" is used in the ad, but the product requires Shipping & Handling fees, the ad must state it. For example: "plus Shipping and Handling fees".
* Weight Loss or other Health Related Ads may only include FDA approved claims of efficacy for a Weight Loss Ad that states "I lost x pounds". It must contain a disclaimer such as "results not typical; individual results may vary".
* Ads must not be deceptive, misleading, or unfair or promote false or misleading claims or include any information that you know is false or misleading. For example, no deceptive pricing, no "bait and switch" advertising, no claim that "everyone wins" and no implication that the mere act of clicking a button is sufficient to win or suggests the user was specially selected to receive a prize.
* Ads must not make any claim about a product or service (e.g., "guaranteed" results for wrinkle remover) unless it has been substantiated through research or surveys, and that support is made publicly available by you online (e.g., your profile page or third party link from the ad).
* Ads must not use superlatives relating to products or services that may be misleading, confusing or unsubstantiated (e.g., "most popular band on this web site"). Ads may use general terms that a consumer understands are advertising "puffery" and not scientifically proven fact (e.g., "best in the world" or "hardest hitting rock band").
* Ads must not inaccurately state or imply approval or endorsement by any government or quasi-government entity. |
