Using Third-Party Advertising Tools on a Website in Vermont

Based on the provided context documents, there are no specific requirements or restrictions on using third-party advertising tools on a website in Vermont. However, if you plan to use third-party advertising tools on your website, it is recommended to ensure that the advertisements comply with Vermont’s advertising regulations [1.1].

Vermont Advertising Regulations

Vermont has regulations on advertising in general, such as restrictions on advertising for tax purposes [1.1], prohibition of outdoor advertising [3.1], and penalties for advertising littering streets and highways [5.1]. If the advertisements are aimed at a buying market located primarily outside the State of Vermont but may incidentally be seen or heard in Vermont, they should have as their subject coverage and premiums approved for use in Vermont or clearly indicate “Not approved for sale in the State of Vermont” [VTCR 21-020-002 § 16].

Use of the Internet or Third Party Portal

If you are using a third-party portal to conduct or help facilitate your offering, the third-party portal must register with the Commissioner by filing a certificate of good standing issued by the Vermont Secretary of State within thirty (30) days of the filing indicating the third party portal is an entity formed under the laws of any State or Territory of the United States or the District of Columbia and authorized to transact business within Vermont [2.1].

Vermont Small Business Offerings

If you are conducting an intrastate offering, you are exempt from the requirements of 9 V.S.A. §§ 5301 and 5504 if the offer or sale of the security is conducted in accordance with the filing requirements of this section and section (c)(3) below. The issuer of the security must be an entity formed under the laws of the State of Vermont and registered with the Vermont Secretary of State. The offering must only be made to residents of Vermont, and the offering must meet all other requirements of the federal exemption for intrastate offerings pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 77 c(a)(11) [2.2].

In summary, there are no specific requirements or restrictions on using third-party advertising tools on a website in Vermont, but it is recommended to ensure that the advertisements comply with Vermont’s advertising regulations. Additionally, if you are using a third-party portal to conduct or help facilitate your offering, the third-party portal must register with the Commissioner. If you are conducting an intrastate offering, you are exempt from the requirements of 9 V.S.A. §§ 5301 and 5504 if the offer or sale of the security is conducted in accordance with the filing requirements of this section and section (c)(3) below.
