EXHIBIT A

PARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS

These Participant Requirements are incorporated into and forms part of the Campaign Participation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning given in the Agreement. Tonies believes in full transparency and in full, fair and effective disclosures of material facts relating to your (the “Participant”) relationship with Tonies. Accordingly, Tonies requires that Participant adhere to the FTC Guides, when publishing social media posts or any other content about Tonies or any of Tonies’ products or services, or when otherwise posting or streaming about or for the benefit of Tonies or Tonies’ products or services.

  1. Clear and Prominent Disclosure of Material Connections. Participant understands that Participant’s connection with Tonies might materially affect the weight or credibility consumers give to Participant’s statement. For this reason, Participant will not post or otherwise speak about or refer to Tonies, directly or indirectly, without disclosing such connection, including the fact that Participant was afforded any consideration or received any free products or services from Tonies. Such disclosure must appear clearly and conspicuously and in close proximity to any statements Participant makes about Tonies, Tonies’ products and services, and/or similar public statements regardless of the space limitations of the medium. In particular, Participant agrees that consumer should not be required to click on, scroll down or mouse over a link in order to view the disclosure and the disclosure should appear before the “click to read more” button. If Participant is streaming, Participant should ensure that Participant both discloses in a voice over and superimpose a disclosure periodically during the stream. The specific form of any such disclosure (which may for example include the hashtags #ad or #sponsored) will either be provided to Participant, or otherwise approved by Tonies, or mutually agreed upon by Participant and Tonies, but at all times in compliance with the FTC Guides. If Participant has any questions on what it means to be in compliance, Participant can access the FTC’s FAQ here https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking.
  2. Participant’s Honest and Truthful Opinions. Participant’s statements must reflect Participant’s honest and truthful opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences. When representing that Participant uses Tonies’ products or services, Participant must be a bona fide user of such products or services at the time the statement is given. Generally, Participant should only make factual statements about Tonies or Tonies’ products or services which Participant knows to be true, and which can be verified. Moreover, Participant’s statements must not convey any express or implied representation that would be deceptive if made directly by Tonies.
  3. No Inappropriate Language or Content. Participant agrees that all social media postings and comments shall always be in good taste and free of inappropriate language and/or content. In particular, Participant understands that content may be rejected by Tonies if it:
    • Contains material that is inappropriate, indecent, obscene, hateful, tortious, defamatory, slanderous or libelous or that otherwise promotes bigotry, racism or discrimination against an individual based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age;
    • Contains material that is unlawful, in violation of or contrary to the laws or regulations of the United States or of any jurisdiction where content is created;
    • Contains information known by Participant to be false, inaccurate or misleading;
    • Contains material or content for which Participant has been compensated or granted any consideration by any third party;
    • Disparages Tonies or any other person or party; and/or
    • Contains material not consistent with the image and values of Tonies or otherwise associates Tonies or any of Tonies’ products or services with any inappropriate or controversial content that would reflect poorly upon Tonies or its products or services.
