Ad Review
In June of 2016, BBB contacted this business regarding the advertising on the www.proofreadanywhere.com website. BBB asked the business to substantiate or alter statements made claiming: "Free 7-Day Intro Course". BBB Code of Advertising indicates that:
"14. "Free"
14.1 An advertiser may use the word "free" in advertising whenever the advertiser is offering an unconditional gift. If receipt of the "free" product or service is conditional on a purchase:
14.1.1 The advertiser must clearly and conspicuously disclose this condition with the "free" offer (not simply by placing an asterisk or symbol next to "free" and referring to the condition(s) in a footnote); and
14.1.2 The advertiser must not have increased the normal price of the product or service to be purchased nor reduced its quantity or quality.
14.6 Whenever such an offer is made advertisers must make clear at the outset all the terms and conditions of the offer."
BBB asked the business to substantiate or alter statements made claiming: "'As Featured In' Logos, such as Business Insider, Fortune, Real Ways To Earn, Money Savings Mom, The Penny Hoarder, Journal of Court Reporting".
BBB Code of Advertising indicates:
"The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any claims or offers made before publication or broadcast and, upon request, present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or the Better Business Bureau.
Advertisements which are untrue, misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, falsely disparaging of competitors, or insincere offers to sell, shall not be used.
An advertisement as a whole may be misleading although every sentence separately considered is literally true. Misrepresentation may result not only from direct statements but by omitting or obscuring a material fact."
To date, the business has not replied to this request or altered the statements in question.
