The FTC has a new rule, slated to take effect March 1, that will impact disclosures when marketing work-at-home opportunities, for instance, sellers will have to provide:
• the seller’s identifying information;
• whether the seller makes a claim about the purchaser’s likely earnings (and, if the seller checks the “yes” box, the seller must provide information supporting any such claims);
• whether the seller, its affiliates or key personnel have been involved in certain legal actions (and, if yes, a separate list of those actions);
• whether the seller has a cancellation or refund policy (and, if yes, a separate document stating the material terms of such policies); and
• a list of persons who bought the business opportunity within the previous three years.
