⚠️ Messaging Restrictions

🚫 Violations Will Result In:
Immediate removal from the Ryse SmartShades offer
Holds on affiliate payouts
Reversal of commissions tied to non-compliant traffic
Suspension or termination from the GiddyUp Network
✅ Stay Compliant
Use non-branded, benefit-focused keywords in paid search campaigns
Do not use brand terms in URLs, domains, or ad copy
Stick strictly to approved messaging
Avoid exaggerated, guaranteed, or unverified claims
When in doubt, request approval before launch
