MaxGroup Business Solutions

Press Release Policy

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU USE OUR SERVICES

 

Must Meet Overall Policies
MaxGroup Media does a thorough review of all press releases (PRs) before distribution, but only to ensure these are newsworthy and meet the specified editorial guidelines in terms of style, structure, and format as recommended by the Associated Press. All PRs submitted must have content that shares real newsworthy information and must not be promotional or misleading, or market any product or service directly or indirectly.

 

PRs should not promote a business model or practice that is deemed as unacceptable or is not in accordance with MaxGroup Media’a overall marketing and business policies. The decision whether a PR meets the accepted industry standards will be taken at the sole discretion of our experts.

 

All claims made in client PR’s are the sole responsibility of the client as a third party content provider and are not asserted or guaranteed by MaxGroup Business Solutions or MaxGroup Media.  Syndicating a PR to our network does not indicate that MaxGroup Media has fact-checked the information.

No Spam
Using spam phrases is not allowed in PRs. Please don’t use common advertisement and promotional words and phrases like 'Click here’ or ‘Great business opportunity’ and the likes. Avoid using exclamation marks and caps on specific words with an intent to promote your products and/ or services. 

No Content that Intends to Harm
PRs must not contain any content that is intended to harm the reputation of an individual, group, or company. The tone and tenor of the content must not incite, promote, or express hatred and must steer clear of bigotry, racism, or unjustified violence. The releases must not include "hate speech", be it directed at an individual or a group, depending upon the membership within some classes, which include but are not limited to, language, religious affiliation, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or sex.

   

Legal
It is the responsibility of the company to make sure the information used in the PR is accurate and current to substantiate any professional claims. All PRs referencing legal action or criminal matters must be backed by appropriate documents duly referenced and attested by appropriate authorities.

   

Client Approval
All PR’s once completed by our staff will be submitted to the client via email with a request to edit, alter, or correct any information that is incorrect.  The client will have that opportunity to make such corrections and resubmit to MaxGroup Media.  This process will be used as many times as possible until the client replies via email with an “I AGREE” statement of responsibility attesting to the fact that the client agrees to be held solely responsible for all of the content and any and all resulting consequences of the FINAL APPROVED PRESS RELEASE.

Acceptance Terms
By your submission of any draft of a PR, or if being interviewed for your convenience to provide the information for a PR, you agree to abide by all the terms, conditions, policies, procedures, and guidelines stated on this document. MaxGroup Media may amend these terms and conditions from time to time and you will be duly notified.

You are solely responsible for taking all precautions necessary to protect yourself and your systems from viruses, worms and damaging content. MaxGroup Media disclaims any responsibility for any harm resulting from use of such websites and web pages.
 

MaxGroup Media requests others to respect its intellectual property rights just as it respects the intellectual property rights of others.
