  • @-vermelding van het merk is niet voldoende

⚠ Penalties for non-compliance

Klachten worden behandeld door de Reclame Code Commissie. Beslissingen zijn openbaar en kunnen leiden tot reputatieschade en reclame-stops. De ACM (Autoriteit Consument & Markt) kan ook bestuurlijke boetes opleggen voor misleidende reclame.
