  1. Intellectual Property. The CACAP designations, certificate formats, and accreditation framework are exclusive intellectual property of the Centre for Asian Construction Arbitration and Mediation Professionals. All materials are protected and do not derive from or replicate the credentials of any other body.
  2. Scope of Accreditation. Accreditation is specific to the training course completed and the discipline assessed. It does not confer any qualification, certification, or professional standing attributable to any other institution or body.
  3. Basis of Award. Accreditation is awarded at the discretion of the President of CACAP on the recommendation of course instructors, having regard to performance in assessed practical sessions and demonstration of exemplary competence.
  4. Panel Eligibility. Accredited practitioners are eligible for inclusion on the relevant CACAP Accredited Panel, subject to the Centre's discretion and any additional criteria that may be established.
  5. Use of Designation. Accredited practitioners may use their CACAP designation in professional materials, including business cards, letterheads, and biographical information. The designation must be reproduced accurately and not altered, abbreviated, or modified without the Centre's prior written consent.
  6. Revocation. The Centre reserves the right to revoke accreditation in circumstances of professional misconduct, misrepresentation of qualifications, breach of these terms, or conduct that brings the Centre into disrepute.
  7. Continuing Obligations. The Centre may in due course introduce continuing professional development requirements as a condition of maintaining accredited status. Practitioners will be given reasonable notice of any such requirements.
