This Code of Conduct also binds all users of Mobucks to take all necessary steps to ensure that nothing is or will be contained in the advertisement content and related products and services which might make its transmission illegal or actionable for any reason as per any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and guidelines in effect provided by the respective countries from time to time.

We support responsible advertising and marketing communications. As new practices and technologies evolve, we may review and revise and extend the scope of this Code of Conduct to assure its usefulness and relevance in a dynamic legal, social and technological environment.

  • where the offer involves no obligation whatsoever; or

3.11.      Substantiation

              Descriptions, claims or illustrations relating to verifiable facts in marketing communications should be capable of substantiation. Such substantiation should be available so that evidence can be produced without delay and upon request to the relevant regulatory and self-regulatory organisations responsible for the implementation of the Code.

             Marketing communications should be clearly distinguishable as such and should be so presented that it is readily recognisable as an advertisement. The product or service, and where applicable, the advertiser must be readily identifiable.

             Marketing communications should not portray or refer to any persons, whether in a private or a public capacity, unless prior permission has been obtained; nor should marketing communications without prior permission depict or refer to any person's property in a way likely to convey the impression of a personal endorsement of the product or organisation involved.

             Marketing communications should not make unjustifiable use of the name, initials, logo and/or trademarks of another firm, company or institution.

3.18.      Imitation

            Marketing communications should not imitate those of another advertiser in any way likely to mislead or confuse the consumer, for example through the general layout, text, slogan, visual treatment, music or sound effects.

             Where an advertiser has established a distinctive marketing communications campaign in one or more countries, other advertisers should not imitate that campaign in other countries where the advertiser who originated the campaign may operate, thereby preventing the extension of the campaign to those countries within a reasonable period of time.

3.19.      Safety and health

             Marketing communications should not, without justification on educational or social grounds, contain any visual portrayal or any description of potentially dangerous practices, or situations which show a disregard for safety or health, as defined by local national standards. Instructions for use should include appropriate safety warnings and, where necessary, disclaimers. Children should be shown to be under adult supervision whenever a product or an activity involves a safety risk.

             Information provided with the product should include proper directions for use and full instructions covering health and safety aspects whenever necessary. Such health and safety warnings should be made clear by the use of pictures, text or a combination of both.

3.20.      Children and young people

             Special care should be taken in marketing communications directed to or featuring children or young people. The following provisions apply to marketing communications addressed to children and young people as defined in national laws and regulations relevant to such communications.

  • Such communications should not undermine positive social behaviour, lifestyles and attitudes;

 

  • Products unsuitable for children or young people should not be advertised in media targeted to them, and advertisements directed to children or young people should not be inserted in media where the editorial matter is unsuitable for them.

             Material unsuitable for children should be clearly identified as such.

Applicable laws and industry best practice need to be adhered to for collection of personal details of children. Under a certain age as defined under local law (the age of 12 in some jurisdictions), children's personal details might not be obtained without the explicit and verifiable consent of the parent or guardian. The marketing communications need to be appropriate for the age of the child and allowed as per local regulation for what the type of use for which the consent of the child's parent / guardian is obtained, is concerned. Collected details shall not be shared with third party providers, unless separate explicit consent is provided by the parent or guardian.

Inexperience and credulity

Marketing communications should not exploit inexperience or credulity, with particular regard to the following areas:

When demonstrating a product's performance and use, marketing communications should not:

  • minimise the degree of skill or understate the age level generally required to assemble or operate products;

  • exaggerate the true size, value, nature, durability and performance of the product;

  • fail to disclose information about the need for additional purchases, such as accessories, or individual items in a collection or series, required to produce the result shown or described.

While the use of fantasy is appropriate for younger as well as older children, it should not make it difficult for them to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Avoidance of harm

Marketing communications should not contain any statement or visual treatment that could have the effect of harming children or young people mentally, morally or physically. Children and young people should not be portrayed in unsafe situations or engaging in actions harmful to themselves or others, or be encouraged to engage in potentially hazardous activities or behaviour.

Social values

Marketing communications should not suggest that possession or use of the promoted product will give a child or young person physical, psychological or social advantages over other children or young people, or that not possessing the product will have the opposite effect.

Marketing communications should not undermine the authority, responsibility, judgment or tastes of parents, having regard to relevant social and cultural values.

Marketing communications should not include any direct appeal to children and young people to persuade their parents or other adults to buy products for them.

Prices should not be presented in such a way as to lead children and young people to an unrealistic perception of the cost or value of the product, for example by minimising them. Marketing communications should not imply that the product being promoted is immediately within the reach of every family budget.

Marketing communications which invite children and young people to contact the advertiser should encourage them to obtain the permission of a parent or other appropriate adult if any cost, including that of a communication, is involved.

3.21.      Data protection and privacy

             When collecting personal data from individuals, care should be taken to respect and protect their privacy. All data to be collected would be for the use of behavioural sequencing and profiling in order to ensure more targeted delivery of advertisements.

Security of processing

             Adequate security measures should be in place, having regard to the sensitivity of the information, in order to prevent unauthorised access to, or disclosure of, the personal data.

Privacy policy

Those who collect data in connection with marketing communication activities should have a privacy policy, the terms of which should be readily available to consumers, and should provide a clear statement if any collection or processing of data is taking place, whether it is self-evident or not.

Cross-border transactions

Particular care should be taken to maintain the data protection rights of the consumer when personal data is transferred from the country in which they are collected to another country.

When data processing is conducted in another country, all reasonable steps should be taken to ensure that adequate security measures are in place and that the data protection principles set out in this code are respected.

3.22.      Transparency on cost of communication

Where the cost to consumers of accessing a message or communicating with the advertiser is higher than the standard cost e.g. "premium rate" this cost should be made clear to consumers, expressed either as "cost per minute" or as "cost per message". When this information is provided on-line, consumers should be clearly informed at the time when they are about to access the message or online service.

Where a communication involves such a cost, the consumer should not be kept waiting for an unreasonably long time in order to achieve the purpose of the communication and calls should not be charged until the consumer can begin to fulfil that purpose.

 

3.23.      Unsolicited products and undisclosed costs

Marketing communications which solicit a response constituting an order for which payment will be required (e.g. an entry in a publication) should make this unambiguously clear.

Marketing communications soliciting orders should not be presented in a form which might be mistaken for an invoice, or otherwise falsely suggest that payment is due.

3.24.      Environmental responsibility

Marketing communications should not appear to condone or encourage actions which contravene the law, self-regulatory codes or generally accepted standards of environmentally responsible behaviour.

3.25.      Responsibility

These general rules on responsibility apply to all forms of marketing communications.

Responsibility for the observance of the rules of conduct laid down in this Code of Conduct rests with users whose products are the subject of the marketing communications.  Users who publish, transmit, deliver or distribute marketing communications, should exercise due care in the acceptance of them and their presentation to the public.

The advertising company have overall responsibility for the marketing communications of their products.

Users should exercise due care and diligence in the preparation of marketing communications contained in the campaign brief and creative, which should operate in such a way as to enable advertisers to fulfil their responsibilities.

Individuals employed by users who take part in the planning, creation, publication or transmission of a marketing communication are responsible, for ensuring that the rules of this Code of Conduct are observed and should act accordingly.

The fact that the content or form of a marketing communication may originate wholly or in part from other sources does not justify non-observance of this Code of Conduct.

3.26.      Sanctions

3.26.1.           If it is found that a user has breached this Code of Conduct, apart from the requirement for the user to remedy the breach, possible sanctions that may be imposed on a user are:
