1. Purpose

Jaipur Blossom works with influencers, content creators, brand ambassadors, and celebrities to promote our products across digital platforms including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and others.

This policy establishes the mandatory disclosure requirements for all individuals who create content promoting Jaipur Blossom in exchange for payment, products, barter, commission, or any other material benefit — in compliance with the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) Guidelines for Influencer Advertising in Digital Media (2021) and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

2. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to any individual or agency that:

• Receives payment (cash, bank transfer, UPI) for creating content featuring Jaipur Blossom products

• Receives free products, gifts, or PR packages from Jaipur Blossom

• Receives products in exchange for content (barter collaboration)

• Earns affiliate commission or referral fees linked to Jaipur Blossom sales

• Is appointed as a Brand Ambassador — paid or unpaid

• Receives invitations to events, shoots, or experiences sponsored by Jaipur Blossom

Note: This applies regardless of follower count. Whether you have 1,000 or 1,000,000 followers, ASCI disclosure requirements are the same.

3. The Core Disclosure Rule

ASCI defines a "material connection" as any relationship that could influence the content — this includes payment, free products, discounts, barter, commissions, or personal relationships with brand personnel. If a material connection exists, disclosure is mandatory — no exceptions.

4. Required Disclosure Labels by Collaboration Type

ASCI requires that the disclosure label appear in the same language as the primary content. If content is in Hindi, the disclosure must also be in Hindi (e.g., #विज्ञापन for #Ad, #प्रायोजित for #Sponsored).

5. Platform-Specific Disclosure Placement

Key rule: Disclosure must be placed where a viewer will see it before engaging with the content — not buried in hashtags, not in the comments section, and not after a 'see more' fold.

6. What Is Not Acceptable

The following disclosure practices are explicitly prohibited under ASCI guidelines and this policy:

• Not disclosing at all — even if the content appears organic or genuinely positive

• Burying disclosure in hashtags — e.g., placing #Ad as the 15th hashtag in a list of 20

• Using vague or ambiguous labels — words like 'collab', 'partner', 'thanks to', 'in association with' do not meet ASCI standards

• Disclosure only in caption when content is a video — video content requires verbal or on-screen disclosure

• Disclosing after the fold — disclosure after 'see more' is not considered upfront

• Disclosing only in Stories highlights — if the original Story had no disclosure, adding it later in a Highlight is insufficient

• Using the brand's disclosure language to mislead — e.g., posting '#Gifted' when content was actually paid

7. Content Accuracy & Brand Representation

All creators must ensure that any claims made about Jaipur Blossom products in their content are:

• Truthful and based on genuine personal experience with the product

• Not misleading regarding product quality, fit, colour, or delivery timelines

• Not making therapeutic, medical, or exaggerated benefit claims

• Consistent with the product descriptions on jaipurblossom.com

Jaipur Blossom may review content before publication and request modifications if it contains inaccurate claims. However, creators retain full editorial independence over their genuine opinions — we do not require or expect falsely positive reviews.

8. Jaipur Blossom's Obligations

As the brand engaging creators, Jaipur Blossom commits to:

• Informing all creators of ASCI disclosure requirements before the collaboration begins

• Including disclosure requirements explicitly in all collaboration briefs and agreements

• Not requesting creators to omit or minimise disclosures to make content appear more organic

• Not penalising creators for honest negative feedback about our products

• Providing creators with accurate product information to enable truthful content

9. Consequences of Non-Compliance

If a creator publishes content that violates ASCI disclosure requirements:

1. Jaipur Blossom will notify the creator and request immediate correction of the disclosure

2. The creator must correct the content within 24 hours of notification

3. Failure to correct within 24 hours will result in termination of the collaboration

4. In cases of deliberate non-disclosure, Jaipur Blossom reserves the right to recover the value of products, fees, or commissions provided

5. Repeated or deliberate violations may be reported to ASCI

ASCI complaints against creators can be filed by any member of the public at ascionline.in. Non-compliant content can result in ASCI issuing a public complaint and requiring the creator to delete or modify the content.

10. Quick Compliance Checklist for Creators

Before publishing any content featuring Jaipur Blossom, verify:

• Disclosure label is visible before any brand mention or product appearance

• Label uses approved hashtags from Section 4 of this policy

• For video content — disclosure is verbal within the first 30 seconds AND as on-screen text

• For Stories — disclosure is an on-screen text overlay, not just a caption

• Language of disclosure matches language of content

• No false or exaggerated product claims are made

• Platform's native branded content / paid partnership tool is activated where available
