Advertising Policy

Diverse Health Hub accepts advertising on the Diverse Health Hub website and e-newsletters from third parties ("Advertisers"), which may include third party banners, badges, contextual advertising and content created or provided by an Advertiser (collectively referred to as "Advertisements" or "Advertising"). In addition, as used in this policy, the terms "Advertising" and "Advertisements" include third party banners, modules, links, microsites, native advertisements and other content provided by or on behalf of Advertisers. The Advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and objectivity of their Advertising. The following guidelines have been established by Diverse Health Hub to govern various aspects of Advertising on properties within Diverse Health Hub, which include websites and e-newsletters.

The guidelines in this policy govern issues like acceptance of Advertisements by Diverse Health Hub, how Advertisements are displayed on Diverse Health Hub Properties, and the removal of Advertisements from the Diverse Health Hub website or e-newsletters. Diverse Health Hub has sole and absolute discretion with respect to interpretation and enforcement of this policy and all other issues associated with Advertising with Diverse Health Hub. Diverse Health Hub may change this policy at any time in its sole discretion by posting a revised policy to the applicable Diverse Health Hub Property.

1.    Diverse Health Hub clearly distinguishes ads from editorial content.

2.    Editorial content sponsored by an advertiser is subject to Diverse Health Hub editorial policy and is reviewed by our editorial staff and medical advisers.

3.    Diverse Health Hub has sole discretion for determining the types of Advertising that will be accepted and displayed on the Diverse Health Hub website or in e-newsletters, and under no circumstances will Diverse  Health Hub’s acceptance of any Advertisement be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised or for the company that advertises, manufactures, distributes, or promotes the products or services.

4.    There are certain categories of Advertisements that Diverse Health Hub will not knowingly permit on the Diverse Health Hub website or in e-newsletters at any time. These categories include but are not limited to the following:

  • fraudulent, deceptive, illicit, misleading or offensive material

  • material that misrepresents, ridicules, discriminates (real or implied) or attacks an individual or group on the basis of age, national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or any other status deemed inappropriate for Diverse Health Hub

  • tobacco use of any kind

  • the simulation of news or an emergency

5.    Diverse Health Hub recognizes and maintains a distinct separation between Advertising and Diverse Health Hub editorial content. All Advertising on the Diverse Health Hub website or in e-newsletters will be clearly and unambiguously identified.

6.    A click on an Advertisement may only link the end user to the Advertiser's site or to relevant sponsored content area on a Diverse Health Hub Property.

7.    Diverse Health Hub reserves the right to decide at any time in its sole discretion whether it will accept, reject, cancel, or remove Advertising from the Diverse Health Hub website or e-newsletters. Diverse Health Hub cannot provide any assurances that Advertisements will perform without error on all platforms, including websites and mobile applications.

8.    It is the Advertiser's responsibility to comply with all domestic and foreign laws and regulations applicable to its Advertising on the Diverse Health Hub website and e-newsletters (and to include all legally required legends, disclosures and statements in such Advertising), including without limitation the current FDA guidelines for Direct to Physician (DTP) and Direct to Consumer (DTC) advertising. Diverse Health Hub will not monitor compliance with such laws and regulations. However, Diverse Health Hub reserves the right to review all Advertising for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and, if Diverse Health Hub becomes aware of any breach or potential breach of any applicable law or regulation or of these guidelines, Diverse Health Hub may remove the Advertising from the Diverse Health Hub website or e-newsletters.

9.    No Advertising on the Diverse Health Hub website or e-newsletters shall include any pixels, tags, flash containers or any other type of information collection software code (any such pixel, tag, code or device a "Pixel") or shall place any beacons, cookies or other information collection devices on the browsers of users of Diverse Health Hub content unless expressly approved in writing by Diverse Health Hub.
