Public Legal Terms and Disclosures
Website terms applicable to GMI programs, marks, claims, and public materials
These public terms protect visitors, partners, candidates, providers, and GMI by clarifying authorized use, development-stage descriptions, public claims, and reporting pathways.
Development-stage disclosure
Some GMI standards, assessments, credentials, REP pathways, directories, operating workflows, pilots, and verification tools may be in planning, prototype, pilot, or development status until formally approved and launched.
Marks and program identifiers
GMI, MBOK®, IMPACT, related names, logos, and program identifiers may not be used to imply sponsorship, certification, approval, partnership, provider status, or endorsement without written authorization.
Credential and REP claims
No person or organization may claim GMI certification, credential status, REP approval, CEU eligibility, or authorized education-provider status unless GMI has formally granted and documented that status.
Use of public materials
Public summaries may be referenced for informational purposes, but visitors may not alter, repackage, sell, misrepresent, or use GMI materials to create unauthorized training, credentialing, assessment, or partnership claims.
Reporting misuse
Concerns about misuse of GMI marks, false credential claims, unauthorized REP claims, partner misrepresentation, privacy, accessibility, ethics, or public materials may be submitted through the concern-reporting channel.
Updates and reliance
GMI may update website content, policies, disclosures, program descriptions, and development-stage information. Visitors should rely only on current written authorization for claims of approval, affiliation, or credential status.
