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

The offers made here apply
to membership only. Distinction and Designations
are contingent upon education, experience,
ethics agreement, prior or future testing,
and continued education and good standing.
Naturally, a person must pay for membership
before applying for certification, distinction,
designation, or fellow status.
Acceptance is made when
candidates have paid and the money has been
deposited. There is no guarantee of certification
as a MPM Master Project Manager or PME Project
Manager E-Business. Your money will be returned
(excluding the processing fee of $25 dollars)
if you cannot, will not, or are incapable
of satisfying the standards and qualifications
of certification.
With regard to certification,
AAPRMA certifications, charters, and licenses
are awarded on a yearly basis contingent
upon a members good standing. Good standing
implies that a member and certified individual
is paid up in full as to his or her balance,
abiding by the ethics agreement, has completed
the continuing education, and all statements
as to education, ethics, experience, credentials,
certificates, and degrees earned are true
and correct. If a member or certified member
MPM Master Project Manager or PME Project
Manager E-Business., or Fellow of the AAPRMA
has not paid his or her dues and licensing
fees, the AAPRMA may request the charter,
certificate, and license from the x-member
and the member who is not in good standing
shall cease from using any of the AAPRMA symbols,
marks, logos, designations, fellow status,
distinctions, service marks, trademarks,
and copyrights. 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.
The AAPRMA does not guarantee
safe delivery of any products, certificates,
or letters. The AAPRMA will deliver what you
have paid full consideration for within
a reasonable time. Upon notification, the
AAPRMA will make an effort to track you letter,
certificates, or other information that
was sent to you. We will guarantee that
you receive a certificate with your name
on it as long as you provide a save delivery
place 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
AAPRMA to process your request for certification
or membership. Any liability for false information
submitted falls upon the candidate who has
misled the AAPRMA. The AAPRMA 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 AAPRMA 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
AAPRMA 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 AAPRMA does
not guarantee the character, skill, experience,
education, ethics, or references of a member
or certified member of our group. The AAPRMA
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 AAPRMA 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 AAPRMA has provided the same
degree of protection to the public as any
undergraduate college as to information
provided and verification. The AAPRMA 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 AAPRMA requires. If
a member is in fact not qualified, the general
public has a duty to notify the AAPRMA as
to the certified members skill and the AAPRMA
can have a hearing or review and notify
the member of certified member as to the
review.
The AAPRMA has formal and
informal alliances. The AAPRMA has hundreds
of members and the bylaws and charter allow:
"AAPRMA has 1000 Charter Members".
