i4influence and the client believe in following industry best practices, including full, fair and effective disclosures of material facts relating to your relationship with Client in accordance with the government legislations. As such, we require that all bloggers, influencers and similar persons (“Influencer” or “You”) adhere to the guidelines set forth below (the “Guidelines”).

Registration and Representation 

(1) A “Registration” refers to the submission of the online form for either influencers or businesses, whereby the influencer or business is submitting their details to request project proposals from i4influence

(2) By Registering, you are agreeing that i4influence may represent you in order to find suitable contracts or projects for you to work on – providing you with proposals of potential opportunities

(3) Registration does NOT mean that i4influence will make any agreements without your approval or on your behalf without your knowledge. All proposals and opportunities will be subject to confirmation from you, by either of the below methods of confirmation:

(3.a) an agreement in writing via email

(3.b) an email proposal with acceptance in writing via email

(3.c) an online form to confirm your acceptance of a proposal

Engagement

In exchange for certain compensation, products and/or experiences, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, i4influence engages Influencer to perform, and Influencer agrees to perform, the services specified on one or more Term Sheets entered by Influencer and i4influence (the “Services”) for the fees and compensation set forth in the Term Sheet. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Influencer will perform the Services at its own expense and using its own resources and equipment.

Fees and Payments

(1) Most projects are ‘Free’ for influencers. This means that all fees will be acquired from the business/party that is making payment in return for an influencer marketing campaign, making it free for influencers for such projects. We will not request any fees from the influencer directly, unless otherwise agreed prior to project confirmation.

(2) Our services are bespoke, so in cases of unique projects, any fees that apply to you will be made clear in writing during our project proposal phase before we agree on any project.

(3) Payments made by businesses will include a fixed fee or percentage fee, based on the overall project costs. These fees will be taken by i4influence in return for the service(s) provided. All payments will be made to i4influence directly, as the acting agent and representative of the influencer for a specific project. Any changes to payment terms must be confirmed in writing by i4influence.

(4) In some cases a deposit may be required. The deposit amount will be detailed in the project proposal.

(5) All payments are non-refundable

Respect Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual Property is the group of legal rights to works that people create or invent. Intellectual property rights typically include copyright, trademark, and trade secret rights, as well as the right to use someone’s name, likeness, image, or voice. Examples include photographs, videos, music (including song lyrics), trademarks/logos (e.g. Nike), brand names or brand packaging (e.g. Coca-Cola, McDonald’s), personal names/likenesses (including celebrities’ names/likenesses), quotes and writings. You should never post or share any content including these elements without obtaining written permission to do so from the third party who owns the rights, as this would constitute a violation or infringement of their intellectual property.

This Means:

1. You should not post or share any works that You do not own or have a proper license to use or have not been authorized by Client for usage.
2. You should get permission from any third parties featured in photos and other content that You post – for example, a signed release, waiver, or other form of written permission from those third parties – even if You took the photo yourself, know the individuals involved and/or obtained verbal consent.
3. If You are unsure about a work, particularly in instances where a work includes a third-party’s trademark/logo (e.g. a Coke can or Louis Vuitton bag), or music, film or television clips, or a celebrity’s name, photo or image, you should check with Client before using the work. A good rule of thumb is, if in doubt, do not post it.

Disclose Your Connection to Client

As set forth in the Terms, when blogging or posted about Client or Client’s products or services, you must clearly disclose your “material connections” with Client, (i.e. the fact that your post is “sponsored by Client”) and include any hashtags requested by i4influence or Client (such as #ad or #sponsored). “Material connections” may be defined as any connection between an Influencer and a marketer that could affect the credibility consumers give to that Influencer’s statements. Important examples of “material connections” include consideration (i.e., benefits or incentives such as monetary compensation, loaner products, free products or services, in-kind gifts, or special access privileges) provided by a marketer to a You. Note that while i4influence and/or Client may provide recommendations and options for disclosures, neither i4influence nor Client will be responsible for any failure by You to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998 or any failure by You to obtain all third-party clearances and permissions with respect to content You post.

Maintain Clear and Prominent Disclosure

 

The above disclosure should be made near any statements that You make about Client or Client’s products. This disclosure should be clear and prominent enough for consumers to view it when they are reading your posts. This means that the disclosure should not be buried behind links or in terms and conditions (or in similar documents). In addition, the consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link to view the disclosure. Please note that this disclosure is required regardless of any space limitations of the medium (e.g., Twitter), where the disclosure can be made via hashtags, such as #sponsored, #paid or #ad (preferably at the beginning of the tweet).

Give Your Honest and Truthful Opinions

 

Your statements should always reflect your honest and truthful opinions and actual experiences. If a statement is not your opinion, but rather something that Client has asked You to say, this fact should be made clear to readers.

Only Make Factual Statements That Are Truthful and Can Be Verified

Only make a factual statement about Client or Client’s product/service’s characteristics or quality which You know for certain is true and can be verified. For example, do not make statements about the performance of a product unless You have support for such claims. Remember that even if You do not expressly state a fact, it may be implied, and these Guidelines apply to both express and implied messages.

Do Not Send E-mail Messages on Client’s Behalf Unless Expressly Requested To Do So

 

Unless expressly requested to do so by Client, You are not permitted to send any e-mails on Client’s behalf, nor will Client provide You any compensation if You send any emails on its behalf.

Comply with other policies and laws

 

You should comply with the terms, conditions, guidelines and policies of any service that You use and all applicable laws. For instance, if a service says it may not be used for commercial purposes, then You should not promote Client or Client’s products or services on such a site.

Protect Your Personal Information

 

Protect your privacy by keeping in mind that your posts are public. Don’t share personal or sensitive information about You or your family that You may not want to make available to the public.

Respect Others’ Privacy

 

Do not include personal information about any third party that has not been voluntarily made available by them for You to share in your posts. This includes any information that may make it possible for someone to reasonably identify another person.

(b) i4influence believes in full transparency and in full, fair and effective disclosures of material facts relating to Influencers’ relationship with i4influence. Because Influencer has a relationship with i4influence as an Influencer, in accordance with Data Protection Act 1998, Influencer will include a disclaimer with all Client-Related Content Influencer shares publicly stating that Influencer has a material connection to the Client and was compensated or otherwise incentivised to post the Client-Related Content. i4influence and Client reserve the right to specify the form and content of such disclaimers. Notwithstanding the termination provisions set forth in Section 7, i4influence reserves the right to immediately terminate these Terms if Influencer fails to make social media or other disclosures in the manner set forth in the Data Protection Act 1998 and/or as instructed by i4influence, which failure shall be deemed a material breach of the Terms that is not capable of cure. 
 i4influence and Client shall have the right to inspect and/or approve the topics and content of blogs and/or social media posts and other Client-Related Content prior to posting by Influencer and to request revisions if such materials are not approved, such request to be made to Influencer within two (2) business days of Influencer’s submission of such materials. Influencer agrees to submit revised materials within two (2) day(s) of receiving a request for revision from i4influence.

Should any provisions of these Terms be held by a court of law to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by the other party.

These Terms may only be changed by mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the parties in writing.
