An Earnings Disclaimer Maybe Required for Your Website Business

The requirements for an earnings disclaimer for your website are dependent on the type of products and/or services you offer. The Federal Trade Commission has specific guidelines about using endorsements, testimonials, advertising, and selling money-making opportunities on your website.

Most, if not all websites need a website terms and conditions and privacy policy. However, websites that offer money-making opportunities, financial advice, investment advice, and other similar services are normally required to have a professionally drafted earnings disclaimer.

And, recently, the Federal Trade Commission’s division of consumer protection has expanded their requirements for those websites selling work-at-home and other money-making business opportunities.

Building trust and being compliant with your website does not take much effort if done right. Having common sense, educating yourself on regulations for your type of Internet business, and using an attorney-drafted earnings disclaimer go a long way towards protecting yourself.
