Endorsements
SAHI is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations requiring clear and accurate advertising messages, Endorsements and testimonials when communicating with the public, including the disclosure of all material connections between an SAHI marketing promotion using any Page and a User’s participation in that promotion. This Policy is intended to provide guidelines essential to ensuring compliance with those laws and regulations. Therefore, this Policy applies to all SAHI employees, independent contractors, agents (including anyone speaking, writing, blogging, posting on any Platform, or otherwise generally endorsing SAHI products or services), and any other individual or entity engaged in promotional endorsement activities on behalf of SAHI, whether they are engaged by SAHI directly or through an agency, representative of an agency. This Policy applies irrespective of the forum in which the Endorsement or testimonial is being made, written or verbal, including, but not limited to, television commercials, print advertisements, websites, blogs, mobile applications, Platforms in general or any other form of media which may be used to advertise.

Endorsers are responsible for their opinions, comments and content made in Posts and may be held personally liable for any commentary deemed to be defamatory, libelous, obscene, or an infringement on the proprietary rights of SAHI or any third party; therefore Endorsers should be mindful of this potential liability when disseminating opinions, comments and content through Posts. In addition, Endorsers should at all times be aware that Posts may remain public or may be archived so that such Posts may be stored and retrievable, indefinitely.

With respect to statements or other claims made in advertising messages or promotional communications about SAHI and/or its products or services, Endorsers must adhere to the following general standards and disclosure requirements:

General Standards
Endorsers may only make statements that reflect their honest opinions, finding, beliefs or experiences. Endorsers may not make statements about experiences with a product not personally used, examined or evaluated.

Endorsements by organizations must reflect the collective judgment of the organization.

Endorsers may not make deceptive, misleading or untruthful claims about SAHI’s products or services.

Endorsers may not make any claims about SAHI’s products or services that are not substantiated.

Endorsers may not engage in any communication that is defamatory or infringes upon the intellectual property or privacy and publicity rights of others.

Endorsers may not use any intellectual property of SAHI in their Endorsement without the prior written consent of SAHI in each instance, and such use must be in accordance with the specific guidelines provided by SAHI.

Endorsers may not make any comments or Posts that in any way promotes unsafe or dangerous activities.

Endorsers may not make any comments or Posts that violate applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations.

Endorsers that are also employees of SAHI must adhere to all employee guidelines found in the employee handbook, specifically including the “Social Media & Networking” section.

Endorsers may have access to or directly or indirectly be exposed to information of a proprietary and confidential nature about SAHI (including without limitation its business operations and activities, strategic plans and financial information). Endorsers shall keep confidential and not disclose any such information.

Disclosure Requirements
Endorsers must clearly and conspicuously disclose any “material connections” to SAHI in all advertising, promotional and Endorsement related communications concerning SAHI and/or its products or services.

A “material connection” is one that is not reasonably expected by the audience or not readily apparent from the context of the communication that may affect the weight or credibility a reasonable consumer would give to the communications or messages made by the Endorser.

Such connections may be found in the form of:

Receiving consideration (i.e. monetary compensation, including fees or commissions; gift cards; event access; prizes; free or discounted products or services) provided by SAHI (or any of its agents acting on its behalf) to the Endorser;

A relationship between SAHI and the Endorser (such as employment or contractual relationships); or

Potential consideration gained through a promotion, contest, or sweepstakes for which participation is conditioned upon an Endorsement.

Some examples of adequate material connection disclosures may be as follows:

I received [product] from SAHI as a gift;

[Thanks to][Courtesy of] SAHI , I was given [product];

SAHI sent me [product] to try;

This post is a paid advertisement for SAHI ;

I am an employee of SAHI ; or

Tagging an Endorsement on any Platform with a hash tag that discloses the material connection of the Endorsement to SAHI or a specific promotion or contest; possible acceptable examples may include #SAHIGIVEAWAY #SAHICONTENTALERT, etc.

The above are only examples of disclosures which may be adequate. Variations of those examples may also be adequate depending on the context. The key is to disclose that there is a relationship between SAHI and the Endorser which a reasonable consumer reading the Endorsement may not have realized (e.g. an employment relationship, a paid advertiser relationship, or related to a promotion or contest advertised by SAHI).

Disclosures need to be made in a clear and conspicuous manner. This generally means the disclosure cannot be buried inside a hyperlink or at the very bottom of a long Post. Rather, disclosures generally should occur in close proximity to where the Endorsement was made and in a similar size, font and color.

Endorsers who post their own opinions, comments, content or recommendations about SAHI, and/or its products or services, must disclose that their views do not necessarily represent those of SAHI.
