Attachment 1
Influencer Disclosure Policy
PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY AS IT ADDRESSES YOUR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR STATEMENTS YOU MAKE IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACTIVITIES THROUGH Yoke Network. This policy applies to any and all advertising activity undertaken by you through or in connection with Yoke Network, including any endorsements, testimonials, or statements you make on behalf of brands participating in the Service (“Brands”). Your failure to abide by this Influencer Disclosure Policy may result in your immediate suspension from Yoke Network. We reserve the right to update this Influencer Disclosure Policy at any time effective immediately upon posting to our website. You agree as follows: You understand that your engagement with a Brand through Yoke Network will involve a paid sponsorship, endorsement and advertisement by and for that Brand and may not be positioned as an unaffiliated critical review. You must disclose the existence and nature of your connection to any Brands you are promoting or working with by communicating that the applicable video, post, and related messaging from you about the Brand (your “Post”) is sponsored. Your disclosures must comply with the Federal Trade Commission guidelines found at https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2013/03/ftc-staff-revises-online-advertising-disclosure-guidelines.Under no circumstances should you conceal your connection with a Brand or endorse products or services that you have not actually used (you must use the product or service prior to producing content) or engage in any other misleading or deceptive practices.
Your Posts should reflect your honest opinion and you are not under any obligation to only post positive sentiment. PLEASE NOTE: The Federal Trade Commission may provide additional or changed guidance from time to time, and the disclosure requirements identified in this Influencer Disclosure Policy may be updated accordingly. It is your responsibility to understand disclosure obligations at all times. For further questions, you should consult your own attorney and/or see the Federal Trade Commission's FAQs found at https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking.Without limiting any of the foregoing, you agree to comply with the following minimum requirements for disclosure: Include a disclosure in the description box of any video you post (“Video”) that is above the fold (e.g. you do not have to click “Show More” or similar to appear); and do at least one of the following: Verbally mention that the Video is sponsored; or Include prominent on-screen text stating that the video is sponsored for a minimum of (4) seconds Your disclosure should be made at or near the beginning of the Video If the call-to-action does not appear at the beginning of the Video, the disclosure should also be made during or immediately before or after, the call-to-action. If the Video is longer than 10 minutes, you should include a final disclosure at the end of the video. Content of your disclosure: Your disclosure should make it clear that the mention or review is connected to compensation from the Brand by using language such as “this video is brought to you by” or “this post is sponsored by”. Casual references to the Brand or simply saying “thanks to [the Brand]” are not clear enough to convey the paid relationship. Your presentation of the disclosure should be at the same speed and general phrasing as the rest of the content of the video (e.g. do not bury or quickly speed through the disclosure).Other social media posts: Any social media postings sharing the video must also contain a disclosure adequate under the FTC guidelines. Appropriate Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook disclosures may include #ad or #sponsored but you are responsible for ensuring any disclosure text and the appearance of that text complies with current FTC guidelines. FAILURE TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE DISCLOSURES MAY RESULT IN LIABILITY AND FTC ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AGAINST YOU. You agree to immediately correct any deficient disclosure in a Post upon notice you by either Yoke Network or the applicable Brand. If such modifications are not possible, you agree that you will immediately remove the entire Post containing the deficient disclosure. Without limitation to any of your responsibilities in the Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Yoke Network and any applicable Brand harmless from any against any third party claims, actions, judgments, fines, or actions arising from or related to your failure to comply with this Influencer Disclosure Policy.
