Products that are unavailable should not be advertised unless the advertiser can meet the resulting demand. Testimonials must be genuine and based on personal experiences over a reasonable time.


The use of third-party content, intellectual property, or personal data requires prior consent, licenses, or authorization. Advertisements should never portray women as sex objects, and the use of children should be relevant and safe.
