Functional Medicine Connection Advertising Policy
Last Updated: 1-30-2024
Functional Medicine Connection was established with the objective of empowering patients with information and content to support their health and well-being. To facilitate this mission and address the costs associated with providing valuable content, Functional Medicine Connection accepts and displays advertisements on our website.
In addition to advertisement revenue, Functional Medicine Connection may receive funding from sponsored content and engage in various arrangements with third parties, such as affiliate programs. It is important to note that under all circumstances, we uphold the principle that no external entity can influence, edit, or dictate the content we provide to our users.
Advertising Selection Functional Medicine Connection is the exclusive authority for determining the acceptance and display of advertisements on our website. We reserve the right to reject, cancel, or remove advertisements at our discretion. The placement and timing of advertisements and sponsored content are also solely determined by Functional Medicine Connection.
Identification of Ads and Sponsored Content We are committed to maintaining a distinct and clear separation between editorial content, advertisements, and sponsored content. Every effort is made to ensure that users can readily identify each category of content. If any advertiser or sponsor fails to provide content that clearly identifies its nature as advertising or sponsored content, Functional Medicine Connection will use reasonable efforts to reject or request revisions. We do not take responsibility for the content on an advertiser’s or sponsor’s website.
Advertising Restrictions Functional Medicine Connection will not knowingly accept any advertisement or sponsored content that is factually inaccurate or misleading. We do not accept advertisements related to alcohol, firearms, ammunition, fireworks, gambling, pornography, tobacco, or any other illegal product or service. Advertisements must clearly identify the advertiser, and any content that could be misconstrued as editorial must be explicitly labeled as an advertisement.
Sponsored Content Sponsored content may be featured on our website. While subject to our editorial policy and typically reviewed by our editorial staff, Functional Medicine Connection cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy of sponsored content. We make every effort to clearly label such content using phrases like “sponsored by our partners,” “sponsored by,” “from our sponsor,” or “brought to you by.”
Compliance with Laws All advertisers must adhere to applicable laws and regulations, including those related to pharmaceutical advertising. In the case of pharmaceutical advertising, compliance must strictly follow guidelines, including FDA regulations. Functional Medicine Connection does not assume an obligation to monitor advertiser compliance with laws and regulations but requires adherence to applicable legal standards.
