The law also regulates the list of goods that are not allowed to advertise, the nuances when concluding contracts for social advertising, the rules for displaying advertising in TV programs, TV shows and on the Internet.
Advertising is the most common marketing method and is used by almost every company on the market in one form or another. Advertising has enormous potential and can reach a vast number of people, especially in the era of the Internet and digital technologies. Since advertising sees a considerable amount of people every day, almost all states have introduced legislative measures to regulate advertising to protect potential buyers of a product or service from false information.
Any promotional material must develop in strict accordance with the law of the applicable jurisdiction (where advertising is distributing). When creating and placing advertising materials, an audit of an advertising campaign project must be especially careful always to act following the law, taking special care when creating advertising materials for children, articles aimed at promoting goods and services with potentially high risk (for example, gambling or investment services).
Failure to comply with the law on advertising can express in a series of a vast number of lawsuits against your project.
