6. Promotion Requirements and Restrictions
6.1. Our products, including Fast Bar, are food products and are subject to both federal and state regulation. In particular, there are some legal restrictions regarding communications about our products. Therefore, you agree that any communications you make, whether directly or indirectly via your website, social media (including reposts), or other medium, must adhere to the following requirements:
6.1.1. Fast Bar and L-Nutra’s products are intended for use by healthy individuals. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Communications should reinforce this and terms like “treat,” “cure,” and “prevent” must not be used. For example, the claim “treats inflammation” would be inappropriate. Express or implied references to diseases or their recognizable/characteristic symptoms and attributes are also strictly prohibited (ex: diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s). In contrast, claims using words like “support” or “helps to” to describe how Fast Bar works to support health and curb hunger would be preferable. This applies to both fasting in general, as well as Fast Bar and L-Nutra’s products.
6.1.2. Communications discussing the benefits and attributes of Fast Bar must match or be substantially similar to the following language:
• Fast Bar is the first and only bar scientifically designed with premium ingredients to nourish your body and keep it from feeling hungry so you can fast or snack on your own terms.
• Fast Bar provides an excellent source of nourishing fats from nuts*. It is a great tasting bar that contains plant-based protein. It is a non-GMO, gluten-free and made without soy and dairy, whole food nutrition bar. There are no sugar alcohols, and 0g trans-fats per serving*.
• Fast Bar is an effective addition to your intermittent fast or time-restricted eating program, giving you sustainable energy and tasty nutrients that leave you feeling satisfied.
• On-the-go, in between meals, morning or afternoon, whenever you need an energetic boost—Fast Bar is the perfect snack, flavorful and rich in nutrients to satisfy food cravings, or support your fasting goals.
*See nutrition information for fat content
6.2. All members of the Affiliate Program must comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“FTC Guides”).
6.2.1. The FTC Guides require you to always disclose clearly and conspicuously the relationship between you and L-Nutra to consumers, in an effort to be truthful and transparent. The FTC Guides are currently available here: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf.
An FAQ concerning the FTC Guides is currently available here: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. You must make clear in all content that you are being paid/compensated by L-Nutra. We may provide suggestions for appropriate means of compliance with the FTC Guides in connection with the content, however compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the Affiliate. Best practices regarding disclosure include:
• Using “#ad” at the beginning of a post; avoid unconventional slang such as “Spon” and “Advert,” and do not place the disclosure at the end of the post or after a cut line.
• Giving readers and website visitors the essential information. A disclosure such as “if you use this specific link, I may receive a small commission from your purchase” would be effective.
6.2.1. Your communications will all have the following attributes:
• Any representations you make in connection with L-Nutra and its products will reflect your honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences with L-Nutra and any products mentioned in the content, and may not contain any statements or representations about L-Nutra the to the best of your knowledge that are not true or are deceptive. If your opinions, findings, or experiences mentioned in the content change, you are responsible for updating the content or, if that’s not possible, for promptly informing L-Nutra of such change.
• You will not impersonate another person or pretend you are someone else when posting content.
• If any persons appear or are referred to in the content, you are solely responsible for obtaining a valid release from such persons, prior to posting or making content publicly available, which permits L-Nutra the right to exhibit and use the content. If any persons appearing in any content is under the age of majority in their state, country, or providence or residence, the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.
• There will not be any personally identifiable information (such as, but not limited to, license plate numbers, personal names, email addresses, or street addresses) of any person other than you. Should you include personally identifiable information about yourself in the content, you acknowledge and agree that such information will be disclosed publicly and that you are solely responsible for any consequences thereof.
• To the best of your knowledge, the content does not defame, misrepresent, or contain disparaging remarks about other people, companies, or products.
• There will not be any content that violates any law.
6.3. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions L-Nutra, Inc. or Fast Bar could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. Therefore, to protect L-Nutra’s name and prevent any damage to our goodwill, you agree to comply with the following advertising practices.
6.3.1 You will not engage in certain forms of advertising, including, but not limited to:
• Advertising commonly referred to as “spamming”
• Using unsolicited commercial email (UCE)
• Postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once
• Advertising that in any way effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address.
If it comes to our attention that you are engaging in any of these practices, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the L-Nutra, Inc. Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
6.3.2 You may use mailings to customers to promote L-Nutra, Inc. so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote L-Nutra, Inc. so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from L-Nutra, Inc.
6.3.3. Affiliates that use Fast Bar among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as FastBar.com, Fast Bar, www.Fast Bar, www.FastBar.com, ProLonFMD.com, Prolon, L-Nutra, ProLonDiet, ProLonFast, Fasting Mimicking, Fasting Mimicking Diet and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from L-Nutra, Inc.’s Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
6.3.4. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in L-Nutra, Inc.’s service).
6.3.5. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited L-Nutra, Inc.’s site (i.e., no page from our site or any L-Nutra, Inc. or FastBar.com’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop-ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of L-Nutra, Inc. site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop-ups that open Fast Bar’s site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

6.1.1. Fast Bar and L-Nutra’s products are intended for use by healthy individuals. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Communications should reinforce this and terms like “treat,” “cure,” and “prevent” must not be used. For example, the claim “treats inflammation” would be inappropriate. Express or implied references to diseases or their recognizable/characteristic symptoms and attributes are also strictly prohibited (ex: diabetes, cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s). In contrast, claims using words like “support” or “helps to” to describe how Fast Bar works to support health and curb hunger would be preferable. This applies to both fasting in general, as well as Fast Bar and L-Nutra’s products.
6.1.2. Communications discussing the benefits and attributes of Fast Bar must match or be substantially similar to the following language:
• Fast Bar is the first and only bar scientifically designed with premium ingredients to nourish your body and keep it from feeling hungry so you can fast or snack on your own terms.
• Fast Bar provides an excellent source of nourishing fats from nuts*. It is a great tasting bar that contains plant-based protein. It is a non-GMO, gluten-free and made without soy and dairy, whole food nutrition bar. There are no sugar alcohols, and 0g trans-fats per serving*.
• Fast Bar is an effective addition to your intermittent fast or time-restricted eating program, giving you sustainable energy and tasty nutrients that leave you feeling satisfied.
• On-the-go, in between meals, morning or afternoon, whenever you need an energetic boost—Fast Bar is the perfect snack, flavorful and rich in nutrients to satisfy food cravings, or support your fasting goals.

6.2. All members of the Affiliate Program must comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“FTC Guides”).
6.2.1. The FTC Guides require you to always disclose clearly and conspicuously the relationship between you and L-Nutra to consumers, in an effort to be truthful and transparent. The FTC Guides are currently available here: https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/attachments/press-releases/ftc-publishes-final-guides-governing-endorsements-testimonials/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf.
An FAQ concerning the FTC Guides is currently available here: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking. You must make clear in all content that you are being paid/compensated by L-Nutra. We may provide suggestions for appropriate means of compliance with the FTC Guides in connection with the content, however compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the Affiliate. Best practices regarding disclosure include:
• Using “#ad” at the beginning of a post; avoid unconventional slang such as “Spon” and “Advert,” and do not place the disclosure at the end of the post or after a cut line.
• Giving readers and website visitors the essential information. A disclosure such as “if you use this specific link, I may receive a small commission from your purchase” would be effective.
6.2.1. Your communications will all have the following attributes:
• Any representations you make in connection with L-Nutra and its products will reflect your honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences with L-Nutra and any products mentioned in the content, and may not contain any statements or representations about L-Nutra the to the best of your knowledge that are not true or are deceptive. If your opinions, findings, or experiences mentioned in the content change, you are responsible for updating the content or, if that’s not possible, for promptly informing L-Nutra of such change.
• You will not impersonate another person or pretend you are someone else when posting content.
• If any persons appear or are referred to in the content, you are solely responsible for obtaining a valid release from such persons, prior to posting or making content publicly available, which permits L-Nutra the right to exhibit and use the content. If any persons appearing in any content is under the age of majority in their state, country, or providence or residence, the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.
• There will not be any personally identifiable information (such as, but not limited to, license plate numbers, personal names, email addresses, or street addresses) of any person other than you. Should you include personally identifiable information about yourself in the content, you acknowledge and agree that such information will be disclosed publicly and that you are solely responsible for any consequences thereof.
• To the best of your knowledge, the content does not defame, misrepresent, or contain disparaging remarks about other people, companies, or products.
• There will not be any content that violates any law.
6.3. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions L-Nutra, Inc. or Fast Bar could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. Therefore, to protect L-Nutra’s name and prevent any damage to our goodwill, you agree to comply with the following advertising practices.
6.3.1 You will not engage in certain forms of advertising, including, but not limited to:
• Advertising commonly referred to as “spamming”
• Using unsolicited commercial email (UCE)
• Postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once
• Advertising that in any way effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address.
If it comes to our attention that you are engaging in any of these practices, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the L-Nutra, Inc. Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
6.3.2 You may use mailings to customers to promote L-Nutra, Inc. so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote L-Nutra, Inc. so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from L-Nutra, Inc.
6.3.3. Affiliates that use Fast Bar among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as FastBar.com, Fast Bar, www.Fast Bar, www.FastBar.com, ProLonFMD.com, Prolon, L-Nutra, ProLonDiet, ProLonFast, Fasting Mimicking, Fasting Mimicking Diet and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from L-Nutra, Inc.’s Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
6.3.4. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in L-Nutra, Inc.’s service).
6.3.5.

As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop-ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of L-Nutra, Inc. site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop-ups that open Fast Bar’s site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
