  4. Truth in Advertising. Advertising should represent the product fairly and honestly, and create accurate expectations of to the product's performance.

  5. Undue Influence. Advertising must not convey the impression that possession of a product will result in more acceptance by his or her peers (i.e., owning a certain pair of sunglasses will make a child seem "cooler").

  6. Product Safety. All products included in advertising must adhere to the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) guidelines, the TMA (Toy Manufacturers Association) regulations, state and federal regulations, and must provide Laufer Media with proof of such adherence if requested.

  8. Religious Content. Advertising should not promote any religion or religious beliefs.
