Advertising Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2008
H.E.AL Global’s mission to link you to the lifestyle of wellness. To support this mission, we accept advertising on our HealMyBody site and sell products in our Marketplace. The purpose of this policy is to explain the types of advertising that we accept on our site and the limitations that we impose on advertising. When we speak of “advertising” or “advertisements,” we mean all forms of advertising, sponsorships and promotions for which we receive compensation.
We do not endorse products, services or companies.
H.E.A.L. Global has not evaluated the products and services advertised on our site or sold through our Marketplace. The appearance of advertisements is not a guarantee of those products, services or the companies that manufacture, distribute or promote such products or services. The fact that certain products and services are advertised on our site or sold through our Marketplace is not an endorsement of those products and services and does not influence the editorial content on our site. We clearly identify all advertising.
Our guidelines are as follows:
- "Advertisement" is used to label the most common form of advertising on our site. The content of this form of advertising is controlled by the advertiser. Ads are labeled with the word “Advertisement” in the top left-hand corner or along the left-hand side of the advertisement.
If you click on an advertisement, it will usually link to a website that’s operated by the advertiser. We have no control over the advertiser’s website or the policies on that site. You should familiarize yourself with the terms of use, privacy policies or other policies applicable to those sites before using them.
- "Sponsored by" is used to label content when an advertiser has paid for association with a tool, article or service, but the content or service is not editorially controlled or influenced by the advertiser. We identify this kind of advertising by clearly showing that the tool, content or service is "Sponsored by" the advertiser.
We do not accept certain kinds of advertisements.
To help ensure that the advertising on our site is consistent with our mission of linking you to the lifestyle of wellness, H.E.A.L. Global has adopted certain limitations on the types of advertising that we accept.

- Promotes alcohol or tobacco products
