Ads and Partnership

Funding Sources

Since its launch, NutriClinic has worked commercially with relevant organisations and companies on advertising, partnerships and sponsorships in order to provide trustworthy nutrition information. These advertisements and commercial partnerships help NutriClinic offer health content free of charge to the public. Advertising in sponsored content is clearly labelled, and the NutriClinic team keeps full editorial control over that content.

Advertising Policy

NutriClinic applies the guidelines below to the forms of advertising we accept on our platform from third parties (Advertisers). The term “advertising” in this policy covers third-party banners, logos, content created for advertisers, and sponsored content. Advertisers are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information in their advertising materials. The following guidelines apply to advertising across all NutriClinic platforms, including the website and mobile apps:

1. The form of advertising or partnership for a product or service is determined according to NutriClinic policy.
2. NutriClinic will not knowingly accept partnerships or advertising for products or services that provide inaccurate or poorly prepared information. Products and materials that NutriClinic does not allow to be advertised are:
   • products that are illegal or harmful in NutriClinic's judgement.
   • products that are ineffective or harmful in NutriClinic's judgement.
   • material considered discriminatory or misrepresentative of any individual or group based on nationality, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, or any other grouping NutriClinic deems inappropriate
   • pornographic or pornography-related material
   • material that exaggerates a product's benefits without a clear scientific basis
   • material promoting alcohol or tobacco products
   • material relating to bladed weapons, firearms, or dangerous projectiles, including fireworks
   • material that directly or indirectly promotes violence, including “Mature” video games
   • material containing strobe lights (flashing light)
   • material that simulates a computer program or that an average user would perceive as a computer program.
3. NutriClinic always separates advertising from NutriClinic editorial content. Advertising on the NutriClinic platform may be labelled “Sponsored by”, “Advertisement”, or a similar term indicating that the content is sponsored or provided by or on behalf of the Advertiser.
4. NutriClinic will feature partner products in NutriClinic Catering or NutriClinic Market according to the product categories recommended by NutriClinic nutritionists.
5. Links or buttons on a partner product or advertisement only link users to the relevant partner, advertiser or sponsored-article site on the NutriClinic platform.
6. NutriClinic has its own policies on accepting, rejecting, cancelling, or removing partnerships or advertising from the NutriClinic platform. NutriClinic cannot guarantee that advertising will appear without errors on the NutriClinic platform, including the website and mobile apps.
7. Advertisers are responsible for complying with all applicable advertising laws and rules on the NutriClinic platform, including advertising of supplements, catering or supplementary foods aimed at nutritionists or directly at consumers. NutriClinic may review any partnership or advertisement to ensure it complies with rules and laws. If a violation is found, NutriClinic may remove the advertisement or end the partnership.
