Brand Ambassador Terms & Conditions

Welcome to The Spoiled Mama Family! We are so happy to have you as a part of this Ambassador Program for this collaboration. 

The Spoiled Mama Brand Ambassador Program partners with pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, Mama, beauty, skincare, and lifestyle creators who want to share thoughtful products and authentic content with their communities.

To begin our collaboration, please let us know the item(s) you would like to feature. Upon receiving your order, you will have two (2) weeks from the confirmed delivery date to shoot and post on your Instagram feed you provided during registration. Each gifted package requires at least one permanent social media post featuring the product(s) received. Any additional features on your blog, vlog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. is up to your (influencer) discretion but greatly appreciated. All links and images need to be sent to our email. For our records and to ensure your qualification for future collaborations, we ask that you send the images and links to your feature TOGETHER after you have posted. If you have any questions regarding the following guidelines, please let us know.

Notice For Disclosure (FTC Guidelines)

In an effort to be transparent with our customers and followers, it is important that all Ambassadors and influencers disclose information regarding the gifted item(s) involved in the collaboration. All Ambassadors and influencers agree to use best efforts to comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advertising guidelines.

When publishing content online, including mobile and social media platforms (e.g. posting on Instagram, posting using mobile device), about The Spoiled Mama’s products or services, Ambassadors and influencers must clearly disclose his/her “material connection” with The Spoiled Mama. Such disclosures must be clear and in close proximity to any statements that Ambassadors and influencers make about The Spoiled Mama or The Spoiled Mama’s products and services. Ambassadors and influencers’ statements, including those made online, must reflect their truthful opinions and experiences.

DO’s and DON’Ts when posting online:

DO:

  • Properly and conspicuously disclose the material connection between the Ambassador/Influencer and The Spoiled Mama. Disclosures must clearly identify The Spoiled Mama as the source of the gifted product or other material connection. Examples include “Gifted by The Spoiled Mama,” “The Spoiled Mama gifted me this product,” #GiftedbyTheSpoiledMama, #ad, or #SponsoredbyTheSpoiledMama, as applicable. A disclosure such as “#gifted” standing alone should not be relied upon where it does not clearly identify the brand relationship.
  • For blog postings, please disclose that your post is sponsored or gifted by The Spoiled Mama (examples: “The Spoiled Mama sent me these beautiful items”)

DON'T:

  • Don’t use words or phrases that may lead your readers to believe the The Spoiled Mama items were purchased (example: do not use “I just purchased these items”).
  • Don’t conceal the material disclosures required by the FTC on your post, blog, or on other online platforms (such disclosures, such as hashtags, must be in close proximity to the product or service being advertised).

Questions

If you have any questions about proper FTC disclosures, you can always email us.


For All Blog Posts:

As previously stated, blog posts are not required but we truly appreciate if you would like to feature us on your blog. Once you (the “Ambassador”) have finalized the content and are ready to publish for The Spoiled Mama, all such content or materials related to the Collaboration must be properly tagged, labeled, or identified and must credit The Spoiled Mama for any post, sharing, or publication relating to this Collaboration.

- Ambassador agrees to and covenants that Ambassador shall not at any time make, publish, or communicate to any person or entity or in any public forum any defamatory, maliciously false, denigrating, or disparaging remarks, comments, or statements concerning The Spoiled Mama or The Spoiled Mama’s employees, agents, representatives, officers, directors, properties, affiliates, investors, and other associated third parties, now or in the future, unless compelled by court order, legal proceeding, or otherwise required by law.

- At this time, The Spoiled Mama does not provide monetary compensation for collaborations. However, The Spoiled Mama works with ShareASale, an affiliate program, to provide influencers with affiliate links that allow them to earn commission. To sign up, please click here. You will need a PayPal account in order to receive commissions. If you have any additional questions after signing up, please contact us for more information.

- Photos and videos are not required to be taken professionally but please take into consideration the following when shooting:

  • High resolution photos are more likely to be shared.
  • We love a good selfie but please make sure the photo is high resolution and that your The Spoiled Mama product is clearly showcased.
  • We are looking for photos/videos where the featured item is clearly shown in a styled look- preferably with your belly showing. Our customers particularly love these shots as they are able to see how to style the item with items they may have already in their beauty regime.
  • Images that are more curated towards our brand’s theme are more likely to be featured on our social media & email platforms. For example: styled flatlays, monthly inspirations, day in the life, action photos, daily mom life, bloopers, photos with your family, birth stories, what’s in your hospital bag, before and after with your The Spoiled Mama items, gender reveals, baby showers and maternity photos, etc.

- Once you have your photos/videos, feel free to crop and edit as you see fit. We ask that you send all of your photos & videos unfiltered or without any overlays. If your pictures are selected for a feature on one of our social media platforms, please know that we may filter the photo/video to match with our brand aesthetic.

Once your feature is ready to go, you can choose from any of the following categories that link to The Spoiled Mama to include. If you would like to solely link the homepage and item itself, that would be great! If you would like to include solely the item link, that is also great. We want to make sure that you as the ambassador have options when blogging as it is no longer a requirement for this one time collaboration.

Ambassador retains any copyright Ambassador may own in Ambassador Content. In consideration of participation in the Program and/or receipt of gifted products, Ambassador grants to The Spoiled Mama, its parent companies, affiliates, successors, assigns, licensees, advertising partners, agencies, contractors, distributors, retailers, service providers, and other persons or entities acting on The Spoiled Mama’s behalf (collectively, the “Licensed Parties”) a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, copy, publish, display, perform, distribute, transmit, host, store, archive, advertise, promote, commercialize, create derivative works from, and otherwise exploit Ambassador Content, in whole or in part, in any media or format now known or later developed, for advertising, marketing, promotional, commercial, public relations, educational, editorial, social media, e-commerce, retail, and other brand-related purposes.

Ambassador expressly authorizes the Licensed Parties to capture, save, download, reproduce, preserve, crop, resize, reformat, retouch, color-correct, edit, excerpt, caption, subtitle, dub, translate, combine with other materials, add or remove music or audio where legally permitted, add text, graphics, logos, calls-to-action or other brand elements, create still images or excerpts from video, create derivative works, and otherwise modify or adapt Ambassador Content, provided that such use does not materially misrepresent Ambassador’s actual statements or experience with the product.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Licensed Parties may use Ambassador Content on or in The Spoiled Mama websites, product and collection pages, blogs, emails, SMS/MMS marketing, social media, organic posts, paid social media advertising, digital advertising, retargeting, display advertising, marketplace listings, retailer or distributor pages, affiliate marketing, presentations, sales materials, public relations, promotional materials, print materials, and other marketing or advertising channels. No additional approval, notice, compensation, royalty, residual, or usage fee will be owed for any use authorized by these Terms.

Ambassador grants the Licensed Parties the same perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up rights to use Ambassador’s name, social media handle, image, likeness, appearance, voice, biographical information, statements, testimonials, and other identifying elements embodied in or reasonably associated with Ambassador Content in connection with the permitted uses above. The Spoiled Mama may provide creator credit when reasonably practicable, particularly for organic social media reposts, but credit is not a condition of the license and omission of credit does not limit or terminate any rights granted under these Terms.

Ambassador represents and warrants that Ambassador owns or controls all rights necessary to grant the licenses in these Terms and that the Licensed Parties’ authorized use of Ambassador Content will not infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, music, or other proprietary right of any third party.

The foregoing license permits The Spoiled Mama to use Ambassador Content in advertisements placed through The Spoiled Mama or its advertising partners’ accounts. It does not, by itself, require Ambassador to provide login credentials or grant direct access to Ambassador’s personal social media account. Any separate technical authorization required for whitelisting, Partnership Ads, Spark Ads, or similar advertising run through Ambassador’s own account or identity may be addressed separately if requested.

All licenses, permissions, releases, representations, warranties, and usage rights granted with respect to Ambassador Content are irrevocable as to content created or published while these Terms were in effect and survive completion of the collaboration, termination of Ambassador’s participation in the Program, deletion of a post by Ambassador, or any later change to these Terms.

If no subsequent Commissions are to be paid to the Brand Ambassador, an invoice will be sent to the Brand Ambassador for the amount of the charge-back.

(iii) Following termination of the Agreement by the Company for a material breach pursuant to Section 3 thereof, the Brand Ambassador will forfeit any Commissions for the last 90 days after the date of the Brand Ambassador's material breach.

(F) The Brand Ambassador fails to submit media and/or create at least one permanent social media post per gift package sent.
