• The FTC Guides are currently available here: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides- governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf

We may provide suggestions for appropriate means of compliance with the FTC Guides in connection with the content, however compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the Affiliate. Best practices regarding disclosure include:
• Using “#ad” at the beginning of a post; avoid unconventional slang such as “Spon” and “Advert,” and do not place the disclosure at the end of the post or after a cut line.
• Giving readers and website visitors the essential information. A disclosure such as “Ready Rocker gave me this specific code and I get a commission from your purchase” would be effective.
6.2. Your communications will all have the following attributes:
• Any representations you make in connection with Ready Rocker and its products will reflect your honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences with Ready Rocker and any products mentioned in the content, and may not contain any statements or representations about Ready Rocker that to the best of your knowledge are not true or are deceptive.

• You will not impersonate another person or pretend you are someone else when posting content.

• They cannot prominently feature trademarks, logos, copyrighted works, trade dress (such as distinctive packaging or building exteriors/interiors) or any intellectual property owned by others (including but not limited to music, product packaging, photographs, sculptures, paintings and other works of art or images, published on or in websites, television, movies or other media) other than as owned by Affiliate.
• To the best of your knowledge, the content does not defame, misrepresent, or contain disparaging remarks about other people, companies, or products.
• There will not be any content that violates any law.

We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior you will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to 0% without warning if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms.

• The FTC Guides are currently available here: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides- governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf

b. You must make clear in all content that you are being paid/compensated by Ready Rocker. We may provide suggestions for appropriate means of compliance with the FTC Guides in connection with the content, however compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the Affiliate. Best practices regarding disclosure include:
• Using “#ad” at the beginning of a post; avoid unconventional slang such as “Spon” and “Advert,” and do not place the disclosure at the end of the post or after a cut line.
• Giving readers and website visitors the essential information. A disclosure such as “Ready Rocker gave me this specific code and I get a commission from your purchase” would be effective.
6.2. Your communications will all have the following attributes:
• Any representations you make in connection with Ready Rocker and its products will reflect your honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences with Ready Rocker and any products mentioned in the content, and may not contain any statements or representations about Ready Rocker that to the best of your knowledge are not true or are deceptive. If your opinions, findings, or experiences mentioned in the content change, you are responsible for updating the content or, if that’s not possible, for promptly informing Ready Rocker of such change.
• You will not impersonate another person or pretend you are someone else when posting content.

• They cannot prominently feature trademarks, logos, copyrighted works, trade dress (such as distinctive packaging or building exteriors/interiors) or any intellectual property owned by others (including but not limited to music, product packaging, photographs, sculptures, paintings and other works of art or images, published on or in websites, television, movies or other media) other than as owned by Affiliate.
• To the best of your knowledge, the content does not defame, misrepresent, or contain disparaging remarks about other people, companies, or products.
• There will not be any content that violates any law.

We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior you will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to 0% without warning if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms.
