statements that reflect your honest beliefs, opinions, and experiences; and
clear and conspicuous disclosure about your connection to us in all of your promotions.
To better understand your responsibilities under the Endorsement Guides, you must review:
The FTC's Endorsement Guides: What People Are Asking (https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking).

FTC: Do you endorse things on social media? (https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/audio-video/video/advice-social-media-influencers).
You may not:
make deceptive or misleading claims about our products/services or our competitors' products or services;
make any claims about our products/services or our competitors' products/services that are not backed up by evidence;
disclose any of our confidential information;
disparage Seeking Health or our brands/products/services;
engage in any communication that is defamatory or infringes upon the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other intellectual property rights of others;
make offensive comments that have the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating or hostile environment;
post content that promotes bigotry, racism, or discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;
use ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity, or other offensive language; and
make any comments or post any content that in any way promotes unsafe activities that could lead to an unsafe situation involving Seeking Health’s consumers or other individuals.
You must adhere to:
the posted policies, guidelines, and terms of use on any platform on which you post content on behalf of Seeking Health, understanding that any these platforms' disclosure requirements about your connection to us do not necessarily satisfy FTC disclosure requirements; and
any additional guidelines provided by Seeking Health, such as product/service/brand-specific program requirements and our Promotion Policy.
You must not create fake followers or engagement on social media platforms, such as:
buying followers;
using bots to grow audience size by automating account creation, following, commenting, and liking; or
post fake sponsored content.
You shall direct potential purchasers of Seeking Health products to dedicated links provided by Seeking Health.
You shall use promotional materials supplied or approved by Seeking Health. Promotional material (emails, landers, ads, social media posts) must be consistent with Seeking Health’s branding.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, live physical events, membership programs, and external promotions are excluded from affiliate commissions.
Net revenues means the revenues left after subtracting expenses and refunds. These are determined by Seeking Health, at Seeking Health’s sole discretion, and are deducted from affiliate payment amounts. Seeking Health has a sixty (60)-Day Return Policy. Commissions will be tracked via dedicated unique links or other conversion triggers provided by Seeking Health. Each affiliate is required to obtain the conversion trigger provided in advance of the promotion, in order to enable them on their appropriate marketing channel. Commissions cannot be paid if the affiliate fails to use the conversion trigger. Commissions will be paid for revenue received net of refunds.
Affiliate Commission payments are made during the month after the month in which the commissions were earned. Payment dates are not specific and may vary. For example, for all approved conversions in the month of April, the commissions will be paid in May. Any of your end-users who return their full or partial order for a refund will cause a retraction (clawback) of that commission in your account. Because of this, it may be possible that you will have a negative balance in your account if returns are high. This is to account for lost commission based on refunds or returns (sixty (60)-Day Return Policy). The commission structure is subject to change at any time, without notice. All payment processing shall be performed by Seeking Health.
