Advertising law for claims
The Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008 (BPRs) and the CAP Code apply, and we meet the consumer standard too.
- Evidence before claims (CAP rule 3.7). Omissions can mislead too.
- No superlatives or unsourced comparisons: no "best", "most advanced", "only", "leading" (CAP rules 3.32 to 3.34; BPRs regulation 4).
- The deadline never moves (CAP rule 8.17.4.e).
- Counters only from billing: a wrong seats-left figure misleads even when caused by error (CAP rule 3.31; ASA ruling, Uppholdings Ltd, 22 November 2023).
- No "was" price (CM13).
- Affiliates label "Ad": "Ad" at the start ("#Ad" on X). "Affiliate" on its own, "#collab", or a line at the end is not enough. Maktura cannot hand this responsibility to the partner (ASA affiliate marketing advice, 22 March 2023).
