Affiliates are prohibited from targeting any advertising campaigns to the countries listed above, or from mentioning them in any way in their promotional materials.
2. The principle of truthfulness in advertising materials
2.1. In branded promotional materials, only what is true is communicated; there is no promise of what is obviously not true.
2.2. All promotional materials should be aimed at promoting only those goods and services that are provided under the Stockity brand and/or its duly authorized representatives and/or counterparties (if any). If the Company foregoes certain products, Affiliates must disable all advertising media (stop all advertising campaigns) containing information about them no later than the recommended date, which will be indicated in a newsletter sent to Affiliates.
2.3. All advertising materials promoting Stockity's branded mobile applications and web pages (hosted under the domain names stockity.id, stockity.com, stockity.org, stockity.net, etc.) must be truthful and clear. This implies a balance in the presentation of Stockity Trading Platform products that allows users to evaluate not only the benefits of using Stockity Trading Platform products, but also the risks associated with them.
2.4. In all branded promotional materials, Affiliates are required to provide the user with the information that knowledge, time, and experience are necessary to achieve earnings, and that there is always a risk of losing part or all of their invested capital.
2.5. In all promotional materials, Affiliates must use only up-to-date promotions and bonus offers that are currently available to the user.
2.6. Since Stockity is an online platform for over-the-counter financial instruments, Affiliates must present the Stockity Trading Platform's products in this vein through branded advertising. Use of the Stockity brand in the context of gambling, betting, or similar is not allowed.
3. Risk Warning
3.1. In accordance with the positioning of the Stockity brand, in all branded and some other advertising materials, Affiliates are required to add a disclaimer warning that trading incurs the risk of loss of capital. This ensures that the user understands that potential earnings are directly related to their level of training and are not random.
3.2. The disclaimer can be presented in different ways (while still clearly conveying the warning specified in clause 3.1), but it must be present in all formats of branded promotional materials: videos, banners, blogs, affiliate sites, the main page, emails, landing pages, and so on.
Detailed rules on how to place disclaimers are specified in clause 10, "Special conditions."
3.3. The font size of the warning may be smaller than the font size of the main advertising message, but it must be readable and noticeable.
Recommendations: the risk warning should be clear and should not blend in with the background or be masked in any way or hidden among images - the risk warning should be clearly readable and attract the attention of the visitor.
3.4. Risk statements can be presented in two forms: short and long. Short message example:
"Operations with OTC financial instruments are associated with significant risks."
Long message example:
"Risk Warning. Before starting to trade on the platform, the Client needs to analyze their financial capabilities and familiarize themselves with the terms of the agreement on the provision of services on the site."
