BBB Code of Advertising indicates:

1. Basic Principles of the Code
1.1 The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.
1.2 Advertisements which are untrue, misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, falsely disparaging of competitors, or insincere offers to sell, shall not be used.
1.3 An advertisement as a whole may be misleading by implication, although every sentence separately considered may be literally true.
1.4 Misrepresentation may result not only from direct statements, but by omitting or obscuring a material fact.

32. Business Name or Trade Style
32.1 Business names or trade styles must not contain words that would mislead consumers either directly or by implication.
32.1.1 For example, a business name or trade style can use the words “factory” or “manufacturer” where:
? The advertiser actually owns and operates or directly and completely controls the manufacturing facility that produces the advertised products; or
? The term would not likely mislead consumers in the specific context in which it is used.
32.1.2 Similarly, a business name can use the term “wholesale” or “wholesaler” where:
? The advertiser actually owns and operates or directly and completely controls a wholesale or distribution facility which primarily sells products to retailers for resale; or
? The term would not likely mislead consumers in the specific context in which it is used.
