Testimonial Context, Substantiation, and Disclosures
Customer testimonials can communicate advertising claims, so the underlying experience must be honest and the conveyed claim must not be misleading.
FTC guidance says a bare "results may vary" or "results not typical" statement does not by itself fix an exceptional-results claim. Advertisers generally need substantiation and clear context about the performance consumers can expect.
Material connections such as payment or free products may also require clear disclosure. The relevant wording and placement depend on the medium and facts.
Our generator creates an editable starting point for testimonial context and compensation disclosure. It does not test substantiation, determine generally expected performance, or certify compliance with FTC guidance.
Testimonial Disclaimer FAQ
Common questions about testimonial disclaimers
Testimonials must not create a misleading impression. A disclosure can add relevant context or identify compensation, but wording alone does not cure an unsupported or misleading advertising claim.
FTC guidance says phrases such as "results may vary" or "results not typical" are not enough by themselves. If an endorsement communicates an exceptional result, advertisers generally need substantiation and a clear disclosure of the performance consumers can generally expect.
You should verify that an endorsement reflects the endorser’s honest experience and that the advertising claim it communicates is substantiated. For exceptional results, consult current FTC guidance and qualified counsel about generally expected performance disclosures.
A payment, free product, or other incentive can be a material connection that requires clear disclosure under FTC guidance. Check the current guidance for your facts, medium, and audience rather than relying on a generic template alone.
