New HostGator TOS Reflect Stricter Enforcement of FTC Laws for Affiliates
Below is an overview of the changes made: |
1: Section 5 paragraph 2 - HostGator expressly requires you to disclose that there is a "material connection" between you and HostGator any time you offer an endorsement or testimonial on our services, in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission guidance as outlined at http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus71-ftcs-revised-endorsement-guideswhat-people-are-asking.pdf. Such disclosure should be clear and prominent, meaning close to the endorsement or testimonial. Please review these FTC Guides (please remember these are simply guides and not legal advice, we recommend consulting legal advice on these issues) to assist you with these requirements: http://ftc.gov/os/2009/10/091005endorsementguidesfnnotice.pdf http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus71-ftcs-revised-endorsement-guideswhat-people-are-asking http://business.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/bus41-dot-com-disclosures-information-about-online-advertising.pdf Please note: You should obtain legal advice on how to fully comply with these responsibilities in your specific situation. |
