Content Creation and Usage
By creating, posting, sharing, or otherwise submitting any content— including but not limited to photos, videos, text, reviews, captions, audio, graphics, and other media — (collectively, “Content”) in connection with the Ambassador Program, you hereby grant Brella Holdings, including its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, successors, and assigns, a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, transferable, and sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, adapt, edit, modify, create derivative works of, and publicly perform such Content in any manner and on any media platform now known or later developed.

Brand Representation
You agree to represent the Bright Girl brand in a manner that aligns with our tone, values, and community standards. If provided, you agree to follow any official Brand Ambassador Guidelines, content templates, or aesthetic references issued by Brella Holdings.
FTC Compliance & Disclosures
As a Brand Ambassador, you agree to clearly and conspicuously disclose your relationship with Bright Girl in all promotional content in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guidelines and any applicable advertising laws or regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, any posts, videos, images, or reviews shared on social media, blogs, websites, or any other platform.
You must prominently state that your content is sponsored and that you are acting as a Brand Ambassador. Acceptable forms of disclosure include hashtags such as #ad, #sponsored, or #brightgirlambassador, which must appear at the beginning of the post caption or in a location that is easily noticeable to viewers. Merely tagging the brand is not sufficient under FTC guidelines.
If you received free products, gifts, services, or any form of compensation (monetary or otherwise) in connection with your promotion of our Product, this must also be explicitly disclosed in your content. Disclosures must be made in the same medium as the endorsement and not buried in a string of hashtags or hidden behind a "see more" link. You understand and agree that:
- Any content that fails to include the required disclosures is subject to immediate removal upon request by Brella Holdings.
- You will not receive compensation, bonuses, or rewards for any non-compliant posts.
- Repeated or material non-compliance may result in termination of your participation in the Program.
- You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Brella Holdings and its affiliates, employees, and partners from any claims, penalties, or liabilities arising from your failure to adhere to FTC guidelines or any applicable laws.
- It is your responsibility to remain informed of and comply with all current disclosure rules and regulations issued by the FTC and applicable jurisdictions.
Prohibited Conduct
As a Brand Ambassador for Brella Holdings, you agree that all content you create and share in connection with the Program must uphold the values and image of the brand.

- Impersonation or Misrepresentation: Content that impersonates any person or entity or misrepresents your affiliation with any person or entity, including Brella Holdings. This includes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) generated content.
- Failure to Gather Consent: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CONSENT OF ALL INDIVIDUALS FEATURED IN YOUR CONTENT.
