The Rules of Advertising on
the Awake In Philly Website

The Awake In Philly Community Education Group was founded to provide an informational, supportive, and advocacy resource to the sleep community.

To accomplish this goal, Awake In Philly intends to network with the healthcare, sleep disorder, and business communities to draw knowledge; information; research; other content, including illustrations, pictures, and other media; and experience. The networking will also allow for support, whether financial or contributory, such as printing, donations of equipment, or items to meet other needs.

Awake In Philly is a member of several ad banner programs, which allows selected ad banners to be displayed on this site. The ad banners, when used for purchases, provide small financial rewards, usually pennies per purchase, which helps defray the costs of providing this forum.

To generate additional revenue, Awake In Philly may also sell advertising, sponsorships, and content to outside companies who desire to address the members of the sleep community.

Despite the need for this revenue, Awake In Philly has established these six (6) principles with regard to advertisements and content:

  1. Awake In Philly determines site content and maintains sole and absolute discretion.
  2. Awake In Philly will not be unduly influenced nor intimidated by advertisers, sponsors, professional associations, or others in presenting any information and/or support material, or in its advertising policy.
  3. All advertisements must be for lawful products, as determined by any laws established in the jurisdiction in which Awake In Philly operates.
  4. Awake In Philly has the right to reject any advertisement in its sole and absolute discretion. Reasons for rejection could including that Awake In Philly believes the advertisement to be fraudulent, objectionable, or unfit to the community served by the support group.
  5. Awake In Philly does not endorse any product that promotes or advertises.
  6. Advertising will not be accepted for alcohol, gambling, pornography, tobacco, or other products deemed unacceptable by the sole and absolute discretion of Awake In Philly.
