The FTC points out that “when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product” it is imperative that such a connection is “fully disclosed.” We strongly encourage our Ambassadors to adhere to the FTC’s rules. We also reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any non-compliant Ambassadors.
