Section XI: Registration Agreement
The Terms and Conditions agreement must be renewed for the 2015-2016
registration renewal. Applications may be submitted to CFP Board before Terms
and Conditions agreements are completed.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF REGISTRATION FOR CFP BOARD-REGISTERED
PROGRAMS
It is understood and agreed that:
1. Authorization. This Registration Terms and Conditions Agreement (“Agreement”) is between the
Registered Program and Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards., Inc., a Colorado nonprofit
corporation (“CFP Board”). Upon acceptance of the Initial Registration or Registration Renewal
Application (“Application”) by CFP Board and subject to these Terms and Conditions of Registration
(“terms”), CFP Board grants a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, revocable license to use the CFP® Marks (as defined below) solely in connection with the
promotion of and the conduct of educational services in the United States. No other rights are
granted except those explicitly granted herein.
2. Term. Upon satisfactory completion of program application materials for CFP Board review, the
registration period will be for a period of twenty-four (24) months and must be renewed biennially.
This Terms and Conditions agreement shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years from the
date of signature. Registration may be revoked by CFP Board for failure to adhere to the Criteria
for Registration of a Financial Planning Curriculum with CFP Board, as revised from time to time,
or any other designated policies and procedures of CFP Board. Any changes made to the program
as described in the Application must be approved by CFP Board. Substantial changes, including
but not limited to changes in location or methods of delivery, may constitute a separate program
and as such may require additional registration. This registration does not extend to partners,
affiliates or other departments of the institution providing the registered program. Any program
created or developed in conjunction with a third party curriculum provider or in partnership with
another institution(s) is considered a new program and must be submitted for additional registration.
3. Term of Use. Permission to use the CFP® Marks, defined here as solely CFP®, CERTIFIED
FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® applies only for the registration
period, as defined by CFP Board. At the end of such registration period, if the registration is not
renewed, the registration expires; all rights to use the CFP® Marks terminate. CFP Board may
terminate any rights the Registered Program has in the use of the CFP® Marks if the Registered
Program fails to maintain current registration status or if the Registered Program violates any
requirement for registration.
4. Restrictions on Use. Without limiting the other terms and restrictions set forth in these Terms,
unless otherwise approved by CFP Board in writing, the Registered Program and its authorized
20
agents (directors or staff) will not, directly or indirectly, (i) use the CFP ® Marks in conjunction with
the promotion and/or provision of any services, or in any other way, outside the United States unless
cross-border requirements have been met, (ii) use the CFP® Marks in conjunction with the sale or
distribution of any tangible goods, (iii) certify individuals to use the CFP ® Marks, (iv) use the CFP®
Marks in a manner that implies another individual or company is qualified or permitted to use the
CFP® Marks, or (v) use the CFP® Marks in violation of CFP Board’s policies and procedures, which
are incorporated herein by reference.
The CFP® Marks may only be used by representatives of the Registered Program to describe,
advertise or promote the Registered Program. The CFP® Marks may not be used by authorized
agents of the Registered Program for any other purposes.
5. Quality Control. The nature and content of all advertising, promotional or other uses of the CFP®
Marks, and educational services associated therewith, will conform to the requirements and policies
specified by CFP Board (as modified from time to time) and must be approved by CFP Board. CFP
Board has the absolute right to monitor the manner in which the CFP® Marks are used and the
quality of educational services associated therewith. CFP Board retains, at all times, the right to
withdraw its approval of the use of the CFP® Marks if the quality, content, accuracy, or other
characteristics of any of the educational services associated therewith ceases to be acceptable or
otherwise is not in accordance with certain requirements and policies defined by CFP Board.
6. Protection of the CFP® Marks. CFP Board shall have the sole right to file applications to register,
and to obtain registrations for, the CFP® Marks with any governmental or non-governmental
organization. Registered Programs agree to cooperate fully with CFP Board in filling such
applications and obtaining such registrations, including providing CFP Board with specimens of use
of the CFP® Marks and executing any documents requested by CFP Board, or in protecting,
enforcing and defending the CFP® Marks. A representative of the Registered Program will notify
CFP Board in writing of any infringement, imitations, claims or other problems with respect to the
CFP® Marks which may arise or otherwise come to the attention of the Registered Program. CFP
Board shall have the sole right, but not the obligation, to take any action on account of any such
infringement, imitation, claim or problem. The Registered Program will not institute any suit or take
any other action on account of such infringements, imitations, claims or problems without the prior
express written consent of CFP Board.
7. Ownership; Goodwill. The right to use the marks of CFP Board is limited to those rights to use the
CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® marks and does not
extend to any other marks of CFP Board. Any goodwill attaching to the trademarks of CFP Board
as a result of the Registered Program’s use of the CFP® Marks will inure to the benefit of CFP
Board. The Registered Program will be conducted in a way that does not adversely affect CFP
Board’s reputation or goodwill. The CFP® Marks will only be displayed or used as permitted in these
Terms and the Reference Guide for the CFP® Certification Marks, CFP Board-Registered Program
Version(as updated from time to time). The right to use the CFP® Marks does not grant right, title or
21
interest in or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade name of CFP Board. The Registered
Program agrees not to: (i) challenge CFP Board as the sole, absolute or exclusive owner of all right,
title and interest and to the CFP® Marks and the goodwill associated therewith, (ii) challenge the
validity, control or use of any mark owned by CFP Board, (iii) register, use, adopt, or promote any
mark that in CFP Board’s estimation is confusingly similar to any mark owned by CFP Board, (iv)
take or encourage any action which would impair the rights of CFP Board in and to the CFP® Marks
or any goodwill associated therewith, or (v) infringe the CFP® Marks or any other marks owned by
CFP Board.
8. Revocation of Right to Use. CFP Board has the absolute and unrestricted right to revoke, at its
sole discretion, any rights the Registered Program has to the CFP® Marks if CFP Board, in its sole
discretion, determines that the Registered Program has misused the CFP® Marks or is otherwise in
violation of any CFP Board policy with respect to the CFP® Marks or the Registered Program’s
activities. It is further understood and agreed that any violation of CFP Board’s policies is likely to
cause irreparable harm, and the Registered Program will immediately stop using the CFP® Marks
or change the manner in which they are used, whichever CFP Board requests. To the extent
necessary, the Registered Program consents to the entry of injunctive relief to halt any violation of
CFP Board’s policies with respect to the CFP® Marks.
9. Indemnification. Neither CFP Board nor its directors, officers, employees and others acting on its
behalf shall be liable to the Registered Program for any actions taken or omitted in an official
capacity or in the scope of employment, except to the extent that such actions or omissions
constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence, and the Registered Program hereby releases CFP
Board and the persons identified above from any liability for any such actions or omissions. The
Registered Program further covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless CFP
Board and its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims,
demands, judgments, awards and expenses related thereto (including court costs and reasonable
fees of attorneys and other professionals) brought or threatened by any third parties arising out of:
(i) any breach by the Registered Program of its Application or these Terms, (ii) any failure by the
Registered Program or its authorized agents to comply with applicable laws, (iii) the services
provided by the Registered Program, (iv) any unauthorized representation, warranty, agreement or
the like, express or implied, made by the Registered Program or its authorized agents to or with any
third party with respect to any acts or omissions (including statements, representations or
warranties not authorized by CFP Board), or (v) acts or omissions taken by the Registered Program
in connection with the use of the CFP® Marks. Notwithstanding the above, CFP Board expressly
reserves the right to retain separate counsel to participate in the defense or settlement of any such
claims.
10. Limitation of Liability. To the extent not prohibited by law, in no event will CFP Board be liable for
any direct, indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages, including without
limitation attorney’s fees, loss of business revenue, profits or other economic advantage, however
caused, regardless of the theory of liability, arising out of or related to the use or the inability to use
any of the CFP Board’s marks, including without limitation the implementation of the forms of
22
discipline, even if CFP Board has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will
CFP Board’s liability under this declaration and agreement, whether in contract, tort (including
negligence and defamation) or otherwise, exceed the amount the Registered Program paid in
application fees. Liabilities shall be limited and excluded, even if the remedy fails of its essential
purpose.
11. Miscellaneous.
a. Integration. The Application, these Terms, and the documents incorporated herein by reference
constitute the complete Agreement and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
representations and warranties. CFP Board reserves the right to make modifications to the binding
Terms of this contract upon notification to the Registered Program. No modification by the
Registered Program to these Terms shall be binding upon CFP Board unless in writing and signed
by CFP Board.
b. Assignment. The Registered Program, directors or staff, will not assign or transfer any rights or
obligations under these Terms. Any assignment or delegation by the Registered Program or its
authorized agents of these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder shall be null and void. CFP
Board may assign its rights herein, without my prior consent.
c. Relationship. The Registered Program’s relationship with CFP Board is that of a licensee granted
the right to use the CFP® Marks and in no way does the relationship constitute an independent
contractor, partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency or employment relationship.
d. Interpretation. These Terms, which the Registered Program understands are binding upon it in
consideration of CFP Board processing its Application, shall be interpreted in such a manner as to
aid in effectuating the purposes and business of CFP Board. No third party private right of action
shall be permitted against CFP Board for acts or omissions taken by CFP Board in the furtherance
of its purposes and business or in connection with these Terms. Failure of CFP Board to insist on
strict performance of the provisions contained herein does not prevent CFP Board from later
enforcing its rights under these Terms.
e. Enforcement; Survival. If the Registered Program does not stop using the CFP® Marks
immediately upon termination, or otherwise violates the provisions of these Terms, such conduct
will be considered exceptional and the Registered Program will pay any expenses, including, but
not limited to, attorney’s fees, which CFP Board may incur while enforcing this provision. Upon
termination of the right to use the CFP® Marks, obligations under paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
of these Terms will remain in effect.
f.
Choice of Law; Forum. These Terms and any action relating thereto shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia and controlling U.S.
federal law. No choice of law rules of any jurisdiction will apply. The Registered Program will not
bring any action arising from or relating to these Terms except in a court of appropriate subject
matter jurisdiction in the District of Columbia, and the Registered Program expressly consents to
personal jurisdiction and proper venue by and in such court.
g. Headings; Severability. The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are for convenience of
23
reference only and are without substantive significance. In the event that any provision of these
Terms shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such validity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision and these Terms shall be interpreted
and construed as if such term or provision, to the extent the same shall have been held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, had never been contained herein.
