Disclosure Policy
CONTRIBUTORS, INFLUENCERS & OTHER AFFILIATES SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
In order to ensure that Kushae maintains its reputation and high standards, please abide by the following guidelines when posting about or in affiliation with Kushae, our brands and our products:
1. Disclosing Your Connections:
If you receive a product for free, are given an incentive to review a product or receive any other financial or service-based compensation, always disclose that information when reviewing, discussing or endorsing Kushae, its brands or its products (positively or negatively!)
A general disclosure on your blog biography page is not enough!
NOTE: According to the FTC, any violations of these disclosure rules may result in a fine for both the contributor as well as the company.
2. Writing Your Content: The Three FTC Guidelines
Placement: Even in a time or space-constrained ad or promotion, the disclosure must be physically close to the statement or endorsement and in a font or form that stands out from the background and is easy to read or hear, as applicable.
i.The placement must be more than “#ad” or “#sponsored” or similar posting. The disclosure must be obvious to the viewing/ listening audience.
Distinction: Disclosures must be easily understood, prominent and viewable on any device, and not buried within a web page. Make sure that it’s clear even on a mobile device! For example: postings must be made above the break (i.e. before the “more” hyper link often found on social media).
Platform: Disclosure is required even for audio/video claims and endorsements in the same clear and conspicuous way as expected for written media. Written disclosures should be in a font that stands out from the background and is easy to read. Video disclosures should be on the screen long enough so that is easily read noticed and understood. Audio disclosures should be read in a way that is easy to follow so that listeners can understand, including at a volume and cadence sufficient for a reasonable consumer to hear and understand it.
REMEMBER:
An endorsement in one post followed by disclosure in the second post is NOT enough.
Each disclosure must be made in the SAME post as the endorsement—A general disclosure located on the sidebar or elsewhere on the site is inadequate.
When in doubt: always disclose!
3. Promoting Your Post:
On Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, etc., the same disclosure requirements still apply.
When in doubt, include “#promo” or “#sponsored” in your promotion post and if your space is limited, “#ad” is also acceptable.
Discussing a Product:
Do not make claims about a product that cannot be substantiated. Only make statements about your use and experience with the product.
Though you may experience multiple benefits to a given product, it is very important that you only speak to your experiences that are similar to claims that are made on either the side of the bottle or the product’s landing page on Kushae.com. Do not mention sexual performance or weight loss.
There should be no mention of curing, treating, preventing, mitigating, or treating any diseases or ailments (i.e. cancer, diabetes, or chronic pain).
