l)
Educational Licenses, Accreditation, and State Sanction.
The ICECC 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 ICECC is not a 501c3
organization and never has claimed to be a tax free or charitable entity. The
ICECC may engage in business with charitable organizations or form alliances with
charities that operate under 501 but the ICECC operates as a responsible, growing,
proprietary, growth oriented, and profit oriented association and company. The
ICECC is an independent authority similar to other American Associations. The
ICECC grants certificates, certifications, marks, designations, and charters much
like hundreds of other legal educational and recognition institutes or associations
in the United States. The ICECC 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 ICECC licenses its marks and logos to others. The marks are generally licensed
to individuals. The ICECC will license the CEC and other marks and logos to companies,
universities, or other uses upon the consent of its board. The ICECC outsourses
to other companies for training and education that is provided online. The ICECC
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 ICECC 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 e-commerce 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. ICECC claims no government sanction or alliance. ICECC
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 ICECC 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 ICECC 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.

for your award.
You are responsible for submitting
correct information as to you name, address, certificates desired, experience,
credit card info, email address and other pertinent information that will allow
the ICECC to process your request for certification or membership. Any liability
for false information submitted falls upon the candidate who has misled the ICECC.
The ICECC awards and licenses to use the registered marks are furnished to members
who claim and state that they do indeed satisfy all of the standards and requirements
that the ICECC has. These standards are to improve and recognize those who make
a commitment to knowledge and education in the field of e-commerce. IF the candidate
has sent information to us, we assume that Title 18 of the mail fraud statues
apply to this and the submitter is supplying accurate information. Based on the
information provided, we can easily determine if the candidate is dedicated to
pursuing a career in e-commerce and Internet commerce and will follow the ICECC
continuing education and ethics guidelines.
All contract
disputes will be held to the jurisdiction and venue of the federal courts of the
eastern district of Louisiana.
Additionally, the ICECC
does not guarantee the character, skill, experience, education, ethics, or references
of a member or certified member of our group. The ICECC grants membership to anyone
who is for the innovation and progress of the e-commerce and Internet industry.
Certified members have all submitted application information with their electronic
signature that assures the ICECC that all education, ethics, testing, experience,
references, talents, or skills are correct to the best of the knowledge of the
applicant or candidate or submitter. Therefore, the ICECC has provided the same
degree of protection to the public as any undergraduate college as to information
provided and verification. The ICECC 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 ICECC requires. If a member is in fact not qualified, the general public
has a duty to notify the ICECC as to the certified members skill and the ICECC
can have a hearing or review and notify the member of certified member as to the
review.
The ICECC has formal and informal
alliances. The ICECC has hundreds of members and
the bylaws and charter allow: "ICECC has
1000 Charter Members". The ICECC has been
endorsed by the American E-Commerce Association
and is in full alliance with the ICECC until stated
otherwise.
