EXHIBIT A BRAND CONTENT POLICY
The following Brand Content Policy applies to each Influencer who has entered into an Influencer Agreement with Brand. Terms used but not defined herein will have the definitions ascribed in the Influencer Agreement.
-
Influencers will comply with the most recent Federal Trade Commission Guides Concerning the Use of Testimonials and Endorsements in Advertising (“FTC Guides”), including any updates, additions, modifications, or supplemental guidance to the FTC Guides, in connection with their performance hereunder.
-
Originality of Content. All portions of Influencer Content must be the original creative work of the Influencer or the Influencer must be the sole owner of the Influencer Content pursuant to the Influencer Agreement.
-
Use of Quotes. Influencers should adhere to the following steps if using quotes: (a) quotes should be short; (b) Influencers should credit the source; and (c) Influencers should use the quote in the same context as when the quote was originally made. If Influencer has a question about whether they can use a quote, Influencer must ask the writer for written permission to use the quote in an email and keep the email.
-
Linking.
-
Influencers must use “no follow” links in Influencer Content.
-
Influencer may embed a hyperlink in the Influencer Content that links to the specific webpage where the third party content is located. Influencers are also responsible for not linking to sites containing content that would not be permitted under the Influencer Agreement.
-
Third Party Content. In order to avoid potential infringement of IPR, Influencers should not endorse, copy, or adopt third party content.
-
Statements About Third Parties. Influencer Content will not contain any defamatory, libelous, or slanderous material. Influencer Content will not be harassing, abusive, unlawful, tortious, threatening, harmful, pornographic, sexually explicit, obscene, patently offensive, or otherwise promote racism, bigotry, hatred, or physical harm of any kind.
-
Making Claims. Influencer Content will be true and accurate to the best of the Influencer’s knowledge and will not hold out opinion as fact. Influencer Content will not be intentionally misleading, deceptive, untrue, or fraudulent. Influencer is responsible for checking their facts before they make any claims about third parties or products.
-
Third Party Rights. Influencer Content will not violate any third party privacy right, right of publicity, or any other IPR.
-
Cheating. Cheating is prohibited, and will result in immediate action and termination without compensation.
-
No Advertising. Influencers will not, as a part of the Influencer Content produced for any Brand program advertise, market, or otherwise promote any other product or service in which Influencer or any Influencer affiliates have an ownership interest or other financial interest, directly or indirectly.
-
General. Influencer may only provide the types of Influencer Content authorized in the Program Details and such Influencer Content may only be used in the manner specified in the Influencer Agreement. Influencer may not use any music on any web property on which they are publishing content without express permission from the copyright or other rights owner(s) for Influencer’s specific intended use in each instance. Influencer must obtain any required permissions or releases where necessary. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other applicable laws, Brand has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and within Brand’s sole discretion, Influencers who infringe upon the IPR of Brand or any third party.
-
Embedded Video Players. Influencer is permitted to embed video players from third party sites in Influencer Content only through publicly available APIs that do not prohibit use by commercial entities in accordance with the API owner’s terms of service, as applicable. Influencer should not copy content and post it on a Content Platform such that Influencer hosts the content; instead, showing third party videos in video players using third party APIs ensures that the third party, and not Influencer, is hosting that content such that if the third party site removes that content from its site at the request of a copyright owner, that content will automatically be removed from the Content Platform as well, since the content is hosted on the third party’s server, and not Influencer’s server.
-
Use of Images or Other Media. An image or other multi-media element may involve layers of rights. The photographer/creator owns the copyrights in their photograph or other media (e.g., the artistic expression of their vision). A person depicted in the photograph, video, or other applicable media owns the right to control the use of their image (or, in the case of a minor, a parent or guardian may exercise control or grant permission on behalf of the minor). If a trademark or a product in its trade dress (e.g., a Coke® can) appears, the owner of the trademark may have rights in how its product or trademark is depicted. Influencers must analyze each image or other media element to be sure that they have the appropriate permission from all rights owners to use the image or media in accordance with this policy and the Influencer Agreement.
-
No Modifications to Third Party Images or Other Media. Influencer should not modify any third party images or other media in any way that would change its nature or context, unless Influencer is certain that they have the right from the copyright owner to create a derivative work. If Influencer has a question about whether they can create a derivative work, Influencer must ask the copyright owner for written permission to create the derivative work in an email and keep the email.
-
Credit and Attribution. Credit or attribution to the source of the image (e.g., Getty Images) is always necessary for a full size photograph. Credit should be used for thumbnail images where space allows. Similarly, attribution should be provided for other media according to its accompanying license terms.
-
Purchased Engagement. Influencer will be fully responsible for the fulfillment of all promises and promotions offered by Influencer.
-
Password Protection. Influencer Content will not be placed behind any login.
