DISCLAIMER & PRIVACY POLICY - ARDENT MARKETING, LLC

Last Updated: August 14, 2026

This Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (“Agreement”) applies to websites and online services owned or operated by Ardent Marketing, LLC, including MLMDetective.com, ArdentMktg.com, TheTruthAboutGLP1.com, and other websites that link to this Agreement (collectively, the “Sites”).

Throughout this Agreement, “Ardent Marketing,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Ardent Marketing, LLC. “You” and “your” refer to visitors and users of the Sites.

By accessing or using a Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Agreement and agree to its applicable terms.

PART I — TERMS OF USE

1. PURPOSE OF THE SITES

Ardent Marketing operates informational, educational, research, marketing, and consumer-oriented websites.

MLM Detective provides research, analysis, commentary, reports, ratings, opinions, and other information concerning multi-level marketing companies, direct-selling organizations, business opportunities, products, compensation plans, management, litigation, regulatory matters, distributor earnings, and related subjects.

Content may be based on publicly available information, company-provided materials, government records, court records, regulatory filings, income disclosure statements, news reports, academic research, third-party databases, user submissions, and other sources we consider relevant.

2. IMPORTANT MLM DETECTIVE DISCLAIMER

MLM Detective is an independent research and informational service.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, MLM Detective and Ardent Marketing are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, employed by, or acting on behalf of any company, organization, product, distributor, executive, or individual discussed on the Site.

Company names, product names, logos, trademarks, and service marks referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification, reporting, commentary, criticism, comparison, and educational purposes.

Our inclusion or discussion of a company does not imply endorsement of that company, nor does criticism of a company imply that every participant, distributor, employee, executive, or customer has had the same experience.

3. EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION — NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

Information provided through the Sites is intended for general informational and educational purposes.

Nothing on the Sites constitutes legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, medical, or other professional advice.

MLM Detective reports and other materials are intended to assist readers in conducting their own research and evaluating business opportunities.

They should not be considered a recommendation to join, avoid, invest in, purchase from, sell for, or otherwise participate in any company or opportunity.

You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence and, where appropriate, consulting qualified professional advisers before making financial, business, legal, medical, investment, or other consequential decisions.

4. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

We make reasonable efforts to obtain and present information we believe to be useful and reliable. However, information can be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, disputed, subsequently corrected, or subject to differing interpretations.

Accordingly, we do not guarantee that any information presented on the Sites is complete, current, or error-free.

Companies may change compensation plans, prices, policies, management, products, income disclosures, financial circumstances, or business practices after a report is prepared.

Public records and third-party databases may also contain errors or omissions.

Where appropriate, our content may contain a combination of:

  • objectively verifiable facts;

  • information attributed to third-party sources;

  • estimates or calculations;

  • analysis and interpretation; and

  • opinions or conclusions.

Readers should consider these distinctions when evaluating our content.

5. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Ardent Marketing may use artificial intelligence and other automated technologies to assist with research, organization, analysis, summarization, drafting, comparison, and preparation of content.

ChatMLM uses AI and can make mistakes. Verify anything important before acting on it. Your question is sent to an AI service to generate the answer, so please don't type in personal details about yourself or anyone else. We may keep questions for up to 90 days to improve our research, without any information identifying who asked.

The use of artificial intelligence does not eliminate the reader’s responsibility to independently evaluate important information and conduct appropriate due diligence before making business, financial, investment, health, or other consequential decisions.

The Sites also make available an interactive research assistant ("ChatMLM"). Answers produced by ChatMLM are generated by artificial intelligence and may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. ChatMLM does not provide legal, financial, investment, tax, medical, or other professional advice, and its answers should be independently verified before being relied upon for any consequential decision.

6. INCOME AND EARNINGS INFORMATION

Any earnings figures, income disclosures, compensation examples, distributor statistics, projections, averages, medians, percentages, or similar information presented on the Sites should be considered in context.

Past results do not guarantee future performance.

Individual results may vary substantially based upon numerous factors, including experience, ability, effort, expenses, market conditions, recruiting activity, sales volume, geographic location, company policies, and changes to compensation plans.

When MLM Detective analyzes company income disclosures or other earnings information, calculations or conclusions may differ from those presented by the company itself because of differences in methodology, assumptions, terminology, or interpretation.

Users should review the underlying source materials whenever possible.

7. THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION AND LINKS

The Sites may contain information originating from or links to third-party websites, government agencies, court systems, news organizations, academic publications, social media platforms, company websites, regulatory agencies, and other sources.

A link or reference does not constitute an endorsement.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, security, products, services, or privacy practices.

Your use of third-party websites is governed by their respective terms and policies.

8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Except for third-party materials, trademarks, quotations, public records, and other materials used pursuant to applicable law, the Sites and their original content—including reports, ratings, analysis, text, graphics, designs, databases, software, and branding—are owned by or licensed to

Ardent Marketing and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may access and print reasonable portions of the Sites for your own personal, noncommercial use.

You may not systematically copy, scrape, reproduce, republish, sell, license, distribute, create a competing database from, or commercially exploit substantial portions of our original content without written permission.

Nothing in this provision is intended to restrict rights that cannot legally be restricted, including applicable rights of fair use.

9. PROHIBITED USE

You may not use the Sites to:

  • violate applicable law;

  • interfere with Site security or operation;

  • introduce malware or malicious code;

  • attempt unauthorized access to systems or data;

  • impersonate another person;

  • harass or threaten others;

  • systematically scrape or harvest Site content or personal information without authorization;

  • use automated systems in a manner that materially burdens or disrupts the Sites; or

  • reproduce substantial portions of our proprietary research for commercial purposes without permission.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the Sites, our users, our rights, or third parties.

10. NO WARRANTY

THE SITES AND THEIR CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARDENT MARKETING DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AND AVAILABILITY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ARDENT MARKETING, ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR RELIANCE UPON, THE SITES OR THEIR CONTENT.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED UPON INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITES.

Where applicable law does not permit certain exclusions or limitations, those exclusions or limitations shall apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ardent Marketing, its owners, employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the Sites, violation of this Agreement, or infringement of another person’s rights.

13. CORRECTIONS, RESPONSES, AND RIGHT OF REPLY

Ardent Marketing and MLM Detective strive to publish information that is accurate, fair, and supported by credible sources. Because our reports and other content may rely upon public records, company disclosures, third-party information, calculations, estimates, historical information, and other sources, errors, omissions, or outdated information may occasionally occur.

Requesting a Correction

If you believe that information published by MLM Detective is materially inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or outdated, you may submit a correction request through our designated corrections page:

https://www.mlmdetective.com/corrections

Correction requests should identify the specific statement or information being disputed, explain why the information is believed to be incorrect, and, whenever possible, include documentation or other credible evidence supporting the requested correction.

Our Review

We will make a reasonable good-faith effort to review substantive correction requests.

Submission of a correction request does not guarantee that content will be changed or removed. We reserve editorial discretion to determine whether a correction, clarification, update, notation, additional context, or no change is appropriate based upon the available evidence.

We may contact the person or organization submitting the request for additional information or documentation.

When we determine that a material factual error has occurred, we may correct or update the information. Depending upon the circumstances, we may also identify that a correction or material update has been made.

Responses and Differing Views

Companies, executives, distributors, individuals, and organizations discussed in MLM Detective content may submit information explaining their position or disputing our analysis.

When appropriate, we may incorporate, summarize, quote, link to, or otherwise acknowledge a substantive response so that readers have access to relevant differing information or perspectives.

Providing an opportunity to respond does not require MLM Detective to adopt, endorse, or publish a response in its entirety.

Facts, Analysis, and Opinion

A disagreement with our analysis, interpretation, rating, methodology, conclusion, or opinion does not necessarily constitute a factual error.

MLM Detective may decline to alter content when the dispute concerns a reasonable interpretation of accurately reported facts, an analytical conclusion, an estimate, a methodology, or an expression of opinion rather than a demonstrably incorrect factual statement.

Updated Information

Information concerning companies and business opportunities can change over time. A statement that was accurate when published does not necessarily become erroneous because circumstances later changed.

Where appropriate, we may update reports or other content to reflect significant new information without treating the original information as an error.

No Waiver

Our willingness to review correction requests, publish responses, update information, or communicate with persons or organizations discussed on the Site does not constitute an admission of liability, wrongdoing, inaccuracy, or legal obligation.

We reserve the right to correct, clarify, update, supplement, or remove content at any time when we believe doing so improves the accuracy, fairness, usefulness, or reliability of the Site.

14. CHANGES TO SITE CONTENT

We may modify, correct, update, remove, or supplement Site content at any time.

We may also revise this Agreement periodically. The “Last Updated” date will identify the most recent version.

Your continued use of the Sites following publication of revised terms constitutes acceptance of those terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

15. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement and your use of the Sites shall be governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

To the extent a dispute is not required to be resolved through arbitration as described below, you consent to jurisdiction and venue in the appropriate state or federal courts located in Hinds County, Mississippi, to the extent permitted by law.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you and Ardent Marketing agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days after written notice of the dispute.

Except where prohibited by law or where injunctive relief is appropriate, unresolved disputes arising from this Agreement or use of the Sites shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the rules applicable to the dispute.

Arbitration shall ordinarily take place in Hinds County, Mississippi, unless applicable law or arbitration rules require otherwise.

To the extent permitted by law, disputes shall be resolved individually and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.

Nothing in this provision prevents either party from seeking appropriate injunctive relief relating to intellectual-property rights, unauthorized access, misuse of confidential information, or similar matters.

PART II — PRIVACY POLICY

We may collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • name;

  • email address;

  • telephone number;

  • information submitted through forms;

  • correspondence with us;

  • survey or questionnaire responses; and

  • information submitted when requesting reports or other materials

We may also automatically collect certain information when you visit our Sites, including:

  • operating system;

  • referring website;

  • pages viewed;

  • approximate geographic information;

  • date and time of visits; and

18. COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND ADVERTISING TECHNOLOGIES

The Sites may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the Sites, measure traffic and performance, understand how visitors interact with content, improve our services, measure advertising effectiveness, and deliver or evaluate advertising.

These technologies may be provided by third parties, including website-hosting, analytics, advertising, CRM, email, and marketing-service providers.

Depending upon the technology involved, these providers may receive information such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser information, pages visited, and interactions with the Sites.

You may be able to restrict cookies or similar technologies through your browser, device settings, or privacy controls made available on the Site. Restricting certain technologies may affect Site functionality.

19. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We may use information we collect to:

  • operate and improve the Sites;

  • provide requested reports, products, or services;

  • respond to inquiries;

  • communicate with users;

  • send newsletters and marketing communications where permitted;

  • analyze Site usage;

  • measure advertising and marketing effectiveness;

  • maintain security and prevent fraud;

  • comply with legal obligations; and

  • protect our legal rights.


    The Sites offer an interactive research assistant called ChatMLM. When you submit a question to ChatMLM, the text of your question is transmitted to a third-party artificial-intelligence provider that generates the response. That provider processes your question under its own terms and privacy practices.

    ChatMLM does not require you to create an account, provide your name, or provide your email address. Please do not enter personal, financial, medical, or other sensitive information about yourself or any other identifiable person into ChatMLM. Information you type into the question box is transmitted as written.

    We may retain the text of questions submitted to ChatMLM in order to understand which topics visitors are researching and to improve the accuracy and coverage of our content. Where we do so:

    • We do not store your IP address, browser or device information, or any account or session identifier alongside the question text.

    • We do not link multiple questions to a single visitor.

    • We apply automated filtering intended to remove email addresses and telephone numbers from stored question text before storage.

    • Stored question text is automatically deleted after ninety (90) days.

    Because questions are free text, automated filtering cannot guarantee that all identifying information is removed. Please do not include information you would not want retained.

    Conversations with ChatMLM are not added to any mailing list, are not connected to any report request you may submit, and are not used to contact you.

20. SERVICE PROVIDERS AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We may provide information to vendors and service providers that perform functions on our behalf, including website hosting, content delivery, customer relationship management, analytics, email delivery, artificial-intelligence and language-model services, advertising, data storage, and technical support

These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services to us.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, court orders, regulatory requirements, protect our rights or property, investigate fraud or security issues, protect the safety of users or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business.

Ardent Marketing does not sell customer lists to third parties.

21. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

If you provide your email address, we may send information you requested as well as other communications concerning Ardent Marketing, MLM Detective, or related products and services where permitted by law.

Marketing emails will provide a method for unsubscribing.

Transactional, administrative, security, or legally required communications may still be sent when appropriate.

Email systems may collect information regarding delivery, opens, clicks, and other engagement.

22. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no internet transmission, website, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information electronically at your own risk.

23. DATA RETENTION

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy.

Retention periods may vary depending upon the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

24. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

You may request that we update or correct personal information you have provided to us or ask questions concerning our privacy practices by contacting us.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link included in those communications.

Depending upon where you live, applicable law may provide additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, or certain uses or disclosures of personal information.

We will honor legally valid privacy requests as required by applicable law.

25. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY CONTROLS

Some browsers and devices provide privacy signals or “Do Not Track” settings.

Because standards and legal requirements concerning these technologies continue to evolve, our response to such signals may depend upon the technology involved and applicable law.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will endeavor to honor that requirement.

26. CHILDREN

The Sites are intended for adults.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and the Sites are not directed toward children.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

27. UNITED STATES OPERATIONS

Ardent Marketing is based in the United States, and information collected through the Sites may be stored and processed in the United States.

Users accessing the Sites from outside the United States acknowledge that privacy laws in their jurisdiction may differ from those applicable in the United States.

28. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may revise this Privacy Policy as our business, technology, services, or legal obligations change.

Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date and, where appropriate, providing additional notice.

PART III — GENERAL PROVISIONS
