miss (i.e., easily noticeable) and easily understandable by ordinary consumers, including in all of 

the following ways: 

 A. In any communication that is solely visual or solely audible, the disclosure 

must be made through the same means through which the communication is presented. In any 

communication made through both visual and audible means, such as a television advertisement, 

the disclosure must be presented simultaneously in both the visual and audible portions of the 

communication even if the representation requiring the disclosure is made in only one means; 

 B. A visual disclosure, by its size, contrast, location, the length of time it 

appears, and other characteristics, must stand out from any accompanying text or other visual 

elements so that it is easily noticed, read, and understood;

streaming video, must be delivered in a volume, speed, and cadence sufficient for ordinary 

consumers to easily hear and understand it; 

Case: 5:19-cv-00788-KBB Doc #: 11 Filed: 04/30/19 3 of 34. PageID #: 239

as children, the elderly, or the terminally ill, “ordinary consumers” includes reasonable members 

of that group.
