Yourwellness Advertising Policy
The following guidelines have been established by us to govern various aspects of Advertising on Yourwellness.
For these purposes, "Advertising, Advertisements and Adverts" include but are not restricted to banners, badges, contextual Advertising, Sponsored Content, and Promotions. The guidelines in this policy govern issues like acceptance of Advertisements and Promotions by us, how Advertisements and Promotions are displayed on the Site, and the removal of Advertisements and Promotions from the Site. Whilst third party (sponsor influenced) content must adhere to this Advertising Policy, labelling of Sponsored Content is governed by our sponsor policy.
Yourwellness holds sole and absolute discretion with respect to interpretation and enforcement of this policy and all other issues associated with Advertising on the Site. We may change this policy at any time at our sole discretion by posting a revised policy to the Site.
We have sole discretion for determining the types of Advertising that will be accepted and displayed on the Site and in our magazine, and under no circumstances will our acceptance of any Advertisement be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised or for the company that manufactures, distributes, or promotes the products or services.
We will not accept Advertising that, in our opinion, is not factually accurate and in good taste.
There are certain categories of advertisements that Yourwellness will not permit on the website or in the magazine under any circumstances. These categories include but are not limited to the following:
-
Illegal or objectionable products

Fraudulent, deceptive, illicit, misleading or offensive material

Advertisers must only offer products or services that are readily available for purchase at the advertised price (with noted tax and delivery fees). The Advertising must also clearly identify the advertiser. Any Advertising that could be misconstrued as editorial content by Yourwellness will be clearly labelled by us as Advertising.
We recognise and maintain a distinct separation between advertising and sponsored content and editorial and decision-making content. All Advertising, promotional, sponsored or marketing content on the Site will be clearly and unambiguously identified. We will not allow any Advertising on the Site that is not identified with the label of "Advert" or "Advertisement."
Clicking on the ad unit will link you to an advertiser's site, to relevant information on the Site, or to a Sponsor's Resource Centre on the Site. Sponsored Resource Centres are labelled as being sponsored and the name of the sponsoring entity is displayed.
See our sponsor policy for more information about how we label information from our Sponsors and the steps we take to help you understand the differences between our content and Sponsored content.
We retain the exclusive right to determine how any and all search results for specific information by keyword or topic are displayed on the Site. The search results are not influenced based on monetary incentives provided by Advertisers or Sponsors. Content listed in search results is displayed with its source e.g. "News." If Sponsored Content appears in the search results, it is labelled as "Sponsor" so that users can make informed decisions about the content they wish to view. In addition, we provide a separate area on the search results page labelled "Sponsors" in which sponsors and advertisers may purchase space to list their content or advertising. See our sponsor policy for more information.
We reserve the right to reject, cancel, or remove at any time any Advertising from the Site for any reason and will provide prompt notice to the advertiser upon rejection, cancellation, or removal of any Advertising, together with an explanation following the rejection, cancellation, or removal. We also reserve the right to determine the appropriate placement of the Advertising on the Site.
It is the Advertiser's responsibility to comply with all applicable domestic and foreign laws, including applicable laws and regulations of regulatory bodies. However, we reserve the right to review all Advertising for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and, if we become aware of any breach or potential breach of any applicable law or regulation or of these guidelines, we may remove the Advertising.
No Advertising will be allowed on the Site that could injure the good name or reputation of Yourwellness.
