Disclose the relationship
Place a clear, hard-to-miss disclosure with the endorsement—not behind a profile link, at the end of a long caption, or only on a separate disclosure page. Use plain language appropriate to the channel. In video, disclose in the video as well as the description when practical. Each new promotional context needs its own clear disclosure.
“I’m a Relay partner and may earn a commission if you buy through this link.”
“Paid referral relationship with Foster Business Works.”
“Ad” or “Sponsored” may work when prominent and unambiguous.
Truthful claims and testimonials
Use approved descriptions and limitations. Do not claim an outcome that Foster Business Works or Plainly Prepared cannot substantiate. Do not make medical, legal, tax, financial, safety, revenue, ranking, or guaranteed-result claims. Testimonials must be genuine, permissioned, representative or properly qualified, and never purchased or fabricated.
Email, text, calls, and outreach
Commercial email must use accurate sender and subject information, identify the commercial nature when required, include a valid physical postal address, provide a working opt-out, and honor opt-outs promptly. These obligations also apply to business-to-business email. Partners may not send spam, use scraped or purchased lists without a lawful basis, evade suppression lists, unlawfully text or call, use artificial or prerecorded voices, robocall, spoof caller ID, or disregard consent, calling-time, recording, or do-not-call requirements.
Search, domains, coupons, and trademarks
Do not bid on Foster Business Works, Plainly Prepared, Relay, product names, or confusing variations as paid-search keywords without written approval. Do not register confusing domains or handles, impersonate the businesses, overwrite legitimate attribution, inject cookies, use adware, publish unauthorized coupon codes, or represent expired offers as current.
Customer dignity and privacy
Promote only where the recommendation is relevant. Do not exploit grief, illness, aging, housing instability, financial stress, or other vulnerable circumstances. Collect the minimum information needed for an expected referral, secure it, and do not retain, sell, or repurpose it.
