Sponsored Content Policy

Last Updated: 1st March 2026

 

Modely is an independent global editorial platform covering fashion, beauty, performance, retail intelligence, design, and brand culture.
This Sponsored Content Policy explains how we handle paid, partner, and brand-submitted content while maintaining editorial integrity.

 

1. Editorial Independence

Modely maintains full editorial control over all content published on the platform.

Payment for sponsored content does not guarantee:

  • publication

  • specific editorial positioning

  • favorable coverage

All sponsored submissions are subject to editorial review for quality, relevance, accuracy, and alignment with our standards.

 

2. Disclosure & Transparency

In accordance with international advertising and media transparency standards:

Sponsored content will be clearly labeled using terms such as:

  • Sponsored

  • Partner

  • Brand Feature

  • Paid Collaboration

This ensures readers can distinguish between independent editorial content and paid placements.

 

3. Content Standards

Sponsored content must:

  • be accurate and not misleading

  • comply with applicable advertising laws and regulations

  • avoid exaggerated or unsubstantiated claims

  • provide genuine informational or editorial value

We do not publish:

  • low-quality promotional articles

  • keyword-stuffed SEO content

  • misleading product claims

  • prohibited or regulated product promotions where applicable

 

4. Editorial Review & Modifications

Modely reserves the right to:

  • edit content for tone, clarity, formatting, and SEO

  • modify headlines and structure

  • add internal references or contextual information

  • reject submissions that do not meet our standards

All edits are made to maintain consistency with our editorial voice.

 

5. Backlinks & SEO

Sponsored content may include brand references and contextual links.

However:

  • links must be relevant and non-spammy

  • excessive or manipulative linking is not permitted

  • Modely does not guarantee search engine rankings, traffic, or SEO outcomes

We follow best practices to maintain platform credibility and long-term search visibility.

 

6. Image & Media Requirements

Brands and contributors must:

  • provide only licensed or original media

  • confirm rights for all submitted visuals

  • avoid copyrighted material without permission

Modely is not responsible for unauthorized media submitted by third parties.

 

7. Prohibited Sponsored Content

We do not accept sponsored content that promotes:

  • illegal products or services

  • deceptive financial schemes

  • unverified health or medical claims

  • hate speech, discrimination, or harmful ideologies

  • adult or restricted content where prohibited by platform standards

 

8. Payment Terms

Sponsored content agreements and invoicing are managed by Casmir on behalf of Modely.

Unless otherwise agreed:

  • all sponsored content payments are non-refundable once editorial review or publication has begun

  • deliverables, timelines, and placement details will be defined at the time of purchase

 

9. Content Longevity

Sponsored content is published as part of Modely’s permanent editorial archive.

We reserve the right to:

  • update formatting

  • add disclosure labels

  • remove content for legal or policy reasons

 

10. Global Compliance

Modely operates as a global publication.

Sponsors are responsible for ensuring that their content complies with:

  • advertising regulations

  • intellectual property laws

  • consumer protection standards

in their respective jurisdictions.

 

11. No Endorsement

Publication of sponsored content does not constitute:

Readers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence.
