Notice For Disclosure (FTC Guidelines)

In an effort to be transparent with our customers and followers, it is important that all Ambassadors and influencers disclose information regarding the gifted item(s) involved in the collaboration. All Ambassadors and influencers agree to use best efforts to comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advertising guidelines.

When publishing content online, including mobile and social media platforms (e.g. posting on Instagram, posting using mobile device), about Tasty Tie’s products or services, Ambassadors and influencers must clearly disclose his/her “material connection” with Tasty Tie. Such disclosures must be clear and in close proximity to any statements that Ambassadors and influencers make about Tasty Tie or Tasty Tie’s products and services. Ambassadors and influencers’ statements, including those made online, must reflect their truthful opinions and experiences.

DO’s and DON’Ts when posting online:

DO:

Properly disclose the material connection between the Ambassador/Influencer and Tasty Tie (example: add #tastytie #teether #babyboy #babyboygift #babygift #babyregistry).
For blog postings, please disclose that your post is sponsored or gifted by Tasty Tie (examples: “Tasty Tie sent me these beautiful items”)

DON'T:

Don’t use words or phrases that may lead your readers to believe the Tasty Tie items were purchased (example: do not use “I just purchased these items”).
Don’t conceal the material disclosures required by the FTC on your post, blog, or on other online platforms (such disclosures, such as hashtags, must be in close proximity to the product or service being advertised).

(a) Calculation of Commissions. Commissions shall be calculated by the Company in good faith at a rate (the “Rate”) per each valid purchase, as determined by the Company, via the Link (each, a “Click” and, collectively, the “Clicks”) that results in a sale of the Company’s products or services.

If no subsequent Commissions are to be paid to the Brand Ambassador, an invoice will be sent to the Brand Ambassador for the amount of the charge-back.

(iii) Following termination of the Agreement by the Company for a material breach pursuant to Section 3 thereof, the Brand Ambassador will forfeit any Commissions for the last 90 days after the date of the Brand Ambassador's material breach.

(iiii) This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until either party terminates this Agreement by providing 10-days written notice to the other party or pursuant to below.

Tasty Tie may also terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice if the Brand Ambassador breaches this Agreement or is found guilty of a crime or, in the opinion of Tasty Tie, Ambassador has engaged in unethical or immoral conduct, conduct that may otherwise disparage Tasty Tie's reputation, conduct in contravention of the Brand Ambassador Terms & Conditions or conduct that otherwise violates this Agreement.
