Abbott Lyon will consider such notification in good faith before taking action under this Clause.
6.3 Platform Unavailability You will not be in breach of your obligations under Clause 6.1 or 6.2 to the extent that your failure to post is directly caused by a temporary unavailability of the relevant Approved Channel that is beyond your reasonable control, provided you notify Abbott Lyon as soon as reasonably practicable and resume posting as soon as the channel becomes available.
6.4 Quality Standards All Content must meet the minimum quality and presentation standards set out in the Brand Guidelines. Abbott Lyon may notify you if Content does not meet those standards and request amendment or removal. Persistent failure to meet quality standards may result in suspension or termination in accordance with Clause 12.
7.2 Mandatory Content Requirements When creating or publishing Content, you must: (a) tag Abbott Lyon's official account (currently @abbottlyon) and include the required programme hashtags (#abbottlyon, #ALcollective) on all brand-related posts; (b) clearly and prominently disclose the commercial nature of your relationship with Abbott Lyon in every piece of Content in which you are promoting or featuring Abbott Lyon products in exchange for Rewards (including free products, Commission, or any other benefit). This disclosure must comply with the requirements of the UK Advertising Standards Authority ("ASA") and the CAP Code (see Clause 7.4 below); (c) ensure that all Content is accurate, truthful, and not misleading in relation to Abbott Lyon products, including their features, specifications, price, and availability; (d) ensure that all Content is original and either owned by you or used with the express permission of the relevant rights holder; and (e) obtain all necessary consents and model releases from any third parties who appear in your Content.
7.3 Prohibited Conduct When creating or publishing Content, or when acting in your capacity as a Member, you must not: (a) post or associate yourself with any offensive, harmful, discriminatory, defamatory, or illegal material; (b) make false or exaggerated claims about Abbott Lyon products; (c) use Content that infringes any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or data protection rights; (d) promote or prominently reference any directly competing jewellery or accessories brand within Abbott Lyon-related Content; (e) engage in derogatory, abusive, or harassing behaviour towards any individual or entity in connection with the Programme; (f) exploit, manipulate, or abuse Abbott Lyon's referral systems, rewards mechanisms, or customer service processes; (g) sell, transfer, licence, or assign your account, referral codes, rewards credits, or any rights under these Terms to any third party; or (h) publicly associate yourself, in your capacity as a Member, with content, individuals, or communities that a reasonable person would consider to be materially damaging to Abbott Lyon's brand reputation.
7.4 MANDATORY — ASA and CAP Code Compliance (Influencer Disclosure) This is a legal requirement and non-compliance may expose both you and Abbott Lyon to regulatory action by the ASA. (a) All Content in which you feature or promote Abbott Lyon products in exchange for any Reward (including free products, Commission, discounts, or any other benefit, monetary or otherwise) constitutes advertising for the purposes of the UK CAP Code and ASA guidelines on influencer marketing. (b) You must clearly and unambiguously disclose the commercial nature of such Content before any promotional text or imagery, using one of the following approved disclosures: "#ad" — at the beginning of the caption or in a clearly visible position before any promotional content; "Paid Partnership" — using the relevant native platform tool where available; or Such other equivalent disclosure as the ASA confirms from time to time is compliant. (c) Disclosures such as "#gifted", "#spon", "#collab", or "#ambassador" alone are not sufficient to satisfy this obligation. (d) You must not remove, obscure, or bury any required disclosure after a post is published. (e) You are responsible for ensuring your own compliance with all applicable advertising regulations and platform policies governing sponsored or commercial content. Abbott Lyon accepts no liability for regulatory action taken against you as a result of your failure to make the required disclosures, but Abbott Lyon may also be subject to regulatory action and you agree to cooperate fully with Abbott Lyon and any regulatory authority in the event of an investigation arising from your Content. (f) If you are unsure whether a particular piece of Content requires disclosure, you should contact [email protected] before publishing.
7.5 Content Removal Abbott Lyon reserves the right to request that you remove, amend, or edit any Content that does not comply with these Terms or the Brand Guidelines. You agree to comply with any such request within 48 hours of receiving it in writing.
8.2 Exclusions The obligations in Clause 8.1 do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of these Terms; (b) was in your possession prior to its disclosure to you by Abbott Lyon and was not subject to any pre-existing obligation of confidence; (c) is independently developed by you without reference to or use of any Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, regulation, or a court or regulatory order of competent jurisdiction, provided that you give Abbott Lyon the maximum notice reasonably practicable before making any such disclosure and cooperate with Abbott Lyon in seeking any appropriate protective order.
8.3 For the avoidance of doubt, your obligation of confidentiality does not prevent you from making any disclosure required by the ASA, CAP Code, or any other applicable law or regulatory requirement, including your obligation to disclose the commercial nature of your Content under Clause 7.4.
8.4 Consequences of Breach A breach of this Clause 8 may result in removal from the Programme and will entitle Abbott Lyon to seek injunctive relief and/or damages. Removal from the Programme shall be without prejudice to Abbott Lyon's right to pursue any other legal remedy available to it.
8.5 For the purposes of this Clause 8, "written consent" includes consent provided by email.
9.2 You Are Informed This Licence Is Perpetual and Irrevocable You acknowledge that the licence granted in Clause 9.1 will survive the termination of your membership.

If you do not wish to grant a perpetual licence over particular Content, you should contact [email protected] before creating or submitting that Content.
9.3 Retention of Ownership You retain ownership of your underlying intellectual property rights in all Content you create. The licence in Clause 9.1 does not transfer ownership of your Content to Abbott Lyon; it simply grants Abbott Lyon the rights described above.

Where Abbott Lyon is reasonably able to credit you, it will do so by reference to your social media handle, name, or username, but attribution is not guaranteed due to technical or commercial constraints.
9.5 Warranties You warrant to Abbott Lyon that: (a) you own or have all necessary rights, licences, and consents in and to all Content you create and submit under the Programme; (b) the Content does not and will not infringe any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights; (c) you have obtained all necessary model releases and permissions from any third parties who appear in your Content; and (d) the Content does not contain anything that is defamatory, obscene, offensive, or unlawful. 9.6 Indemnity for IP Breach Without prejudice to Clause 13.4, if any third party makes a claim against Abbott Lyon arising from your breach of the warranties in Clause 9.5, you agree to indemnify Abbott Lyon in accordance with Clause 13.4. 10.
