    I work in marketing, we are allowed to promise things we intend to do as marketing features as legally there is no reasonable expectation that marketing assets are truthful.

    The need for truth only happens during the sales process (SLAs, POCs etc)

      What country is that the case in?

      I haven’t the faintest idea what my own country’s rules are to be fair, but i certainly hope lying about features in product showcases and advertisements isn’t legal, because that would be crazy :-(

        usa. but also most countries. it has to be this way. Otherwise you get stuff like

        “Drink SportzDrank - it’s refreshing”

        and then someone isn’t refreshed and they start a court case…
