PostScript accepts advertising on the PostScript Network from third parties ("Advertisers"), which may include third party banners, badges, contextual advertising and content created or provided by an Advertiser (collectively referred to as "Advertisements" or "Advertising"). In addition, as used in this policy, the terms "Advertising" and "Advertisements" include third party banners, modules, links, microsites, native advertisements and other content provided by or on behalf of Advertisers. The Advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and objectivity of their Advertising. The following guidelines have been established by PostScript to govern various aspects of Advertising on properties within the PostScript Network (each a "PostScript Property"), which include websites and mobile applications directed to consumers, which we refer to in this Policy as the "PostScript Consumer Properties," and websites and mobile applications directed to healthcare professionals, which we refer to as the "PostScript Professional Properties."
The guidelines in this policy govern issues like acceptance of Advertisements by PostScript, how Advertisements are displayed on the PostScript Network, and the removal of Advertisements from the PostScript Network. PostScript has sole and absolute discretion with respect to interpretation and enforcement of this policy and all other issues associated with Advertising on the PostScript Network. PostScript may change this policy at any time in its sole discretion by posting a revised policy to the applicable PostScript Property.
1. PostScript has sole discretion for determining the types of Advertising that will be accepted and displayed on the PostScript Network, and under no circumstances will PostScript's acceptance of any Advertisement be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised or for the company that advertises, manufactures, distributes, or promotes the products or services.
2. PostScript will not knowingly accept Advertising that, in PostScript's opinion, is not factually accurate and in good taste.
3. There are certain categories of Advertisements that PostScript will not knowingly permit on the PostScript Network at any time. These categories include but are not limited to the following:
4. PostScript recognizes and maintains a distinct separation between Advertising and PostScript's editorial content. All Advertising on the PostScript Network will be clearly and unambiguously identified. PostScript will not allow any Advertising on the PostScript Network that is not identified with the label of "Advertisement", "From Our Advertiser", "Information From Industry" or a similar designation indicating that the Advertising is being provided by or on behalf of an Advertiser.
5. A click on an Advertisement may only link the end user to the Advertiser's site or to relevant sponsored content area on a PostScript Property.
6. PostScript retains the exclusive right to determine how any and all search results for specific information by keyword or topic are displayed on a PostScript Property based on PostScript delivered search results. Content listed in search results is displayed with its source, e.g., "PostScript News" or "Journal Article." If Advertising appears in the search results, it is labeled as such. In addition, PostScript provides a separate area on the search results page of certain PostScript Consumer Properties which only display Advertising.
7. As described in the "Ads by Google" hyper link in the Ads by Google section on applicable PostScript Consumer Properties Search pages, these "Ads by Google" are Advertisements that have been purchased by companies that want to have links to their websites appear adjacent to search results in response to specific terms.
8. PostScript reserves the right to decide at any time in its sole discretion whether it will accept, reject, cancel, or remove Advertising from the PostScript Network. PostScript cannot provide any assurances that Advertisements will perform without error on all platforms, including websites and mobile applications.
9. It is the Advertiser's responsibility to comply with all domestic and foreign laws and regulations applicable to its Advertising within the PostScript Network (and to include all legally required legends, disclosures and statements in such Advertising), including without limitation the current FDA guidelines for Direct to Physician (DTP) and Direct to Consumer (DTC) advertising. PostScript will not monitor compliance with such laws and regulations. However, PostScript reserves the right to review all Advertising for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and, if PostScript becomes aware of any breach or potential breach of any applicable law or regulation or of these guidelines, PostScript may remove the Advertising from the PostScript Network.
10. No Advertising on the PostScript Network shall include any pixels, tags, flash containers or any other type of information collection software code (any such pixel, tag, code or device a "Pixel") or shall place any beacons, cookies or other information collection devices on the browsers of users of the PostScript Network unless expressly approved in writing by PostScript. If PostScript approves the inclusion of a Pixel in an advertisement, then unless and only to the extent that such approval contains an express exception, (i) Advertiser may not use such Pixel to collect any personally-identifiable information (PII) with respect to any PostScript user, (ii) no such Pixel can be flash or object based, (iii) the Pixel can be blocked and any cookie placed can be deleted by user browser settings, (iv) Advertiser will not link any non-PII that it collects to any PII that it may have from any other source and (v) Advertiser will not update any existing profile or create any profile in its database based on any data collected on the PostScript site, including the fact that someone is a PostScript user or any information derived from the information in the referring URL.
