l) Educational Licenses, Accreditation, and State Sanction.
The IPMC does not claim to be a college or university nor does it claim accreditation from any 501 bodies, state, or federal government agency or body. The IPMC is not a 501c3 organization and never has claimed to be a tax free or charitable entity. The IPMC may engage in business with charitable organizations or form alliances with charities that operate under 501 but the IPMC operates as a responsible, growing, proprietary, growth oriented, and profit oriented association and company. The IPMC is an independent authority similar to other American Associations. The IPMC grants Certifications, certifications, marks, designations, and charters much like hundreds of other legal educational and recognition institutes or associations in the United States. The IPMC strictly follows the criteria of the Ibanez decision in the United States. We encourage all members and certified members to meet all requirements for education, experience, testing, ethics, and continuing education. The IPMC licenses its marks and logos to others. The marks are generally licensed to individuals. The IPMC will license the IPMC and other marks and logos to companies, universities, or other uses upon the consent of its board. The IPMC outsourses to other companies for training and education that is provided online. The IPMC does not collect money for the courses, provide the service, teach the class, enter into a contract with the student. THe company providing the education and training is simply using our site as a distribution point. THe IPMC may receive a referral fee, rebate, revenue share, or other payments for providing the website that afforded the sale of the service to the customer. In sum, you accept that we are not responsible for the performance of any education or training contract. We do not hold any of your private information that you submitted to the training, course, or education provider although directory infomation may be exchanged. This information is limited to email address, phone number, name, employer, educational degrees and background.

As project management is a relatively new field, it is impossible for any association to have been in this field for any significant length of time. With this in mind, new and growing fields of study and practice should be given the opportunity to grow and flourish without government interference. IPMC claims no government sanction or alliance. IPMC has formed legal relationships with professors, college organizations, university groups and independent training associations and facilities. As accreditation is generally not operated by any government body, The IPMC is self governing and our members and certified members are self governing through our regulations, ethics, and continuing education, and standards much like lawyers, accountants, or financial planners.

The IPMC is not in the business of accreditation of colleges universities or schools. Call the AACSB if you desire accreditation or call the Department of Education.

Any member that knowingly uses our marks and designations without paying is subject to compensatory and punitive damages as well as any other legal damages and is subject to the jurisdiction and venue of the US District Courts of the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Therefore, the IPMC has provided the same degree of protection to the public as any undergraduate college as to information provided and verification. The IPMC accepts no liability as to the skill and expertise of a member or certified member. These members are operating independently of our group and have been awarded membership and certification purely based on their submissions to us that have assured us that they have met the standards that the IPMC requires. If a member is in fact not qualified, the general public has a duty to notify the IPMC as to the certified members skill and the IPMC can have a hearing or review and notify the member of certified member as to the review.
