Create legible, rights-cleared assets
Use original or licensed images and retain permission records. Keep important text out of images when it can be written as accessible module text, and make embedded text large enough for smaller screens.
Do not show content, endorsements, awards, or brand relationships you cannot substantiate.
Follow current content restrictions
- Avoid unsupported superlatives and guarantees.
- Do not include prohibited pricing, promotion, urgency, or contact language.
- Keep reviews and endorsements within current rules.
- Use accurate product comparisons.
- Ensure claims match the book and detail-page metadata.
