Use of the NITC Certification Mark

Guidelines for Use of the Mark

NITC Certified individuals may display the NITC certification mark on letterheads, business cards or anywhere the name and address of the business appears to highlight NITC Certification.

The certification mark may not be revised or altered in any way. It must be displayed in the same form as produced by NITC and cannot be reproduced unless such reproduction is identical to the certification mark provided by NITC.

The NITC certification mark may be displayed as a decal on the door or window of a business, on the cab of a delivery truck, or on the window of a personal vehicle.

The NITC certification mark may not be used in any manner that detracts from the high ideals of NITC or from the values, particularly certification values, espoused by NITC. Also, the mark may not be used in any manner which would tend to imply a connection, endorsement, or sponsorship between NITC and the company displaying it.

No person gains any rights whatsoever in the logo or its use; it remains the property of NITC. NITC reserves the right in its sole discretion to require the certification mark’s removal from any location or thing NITC feels does not comply with these guidelines, or which could or does discredit NITC. Use of the NITC certification mark is forbidden if your NITC Certification has expired.

Persons granted permission to use NITC's certification mark are required to become conversant with the NITC rules and guidelines for use and must execute approved agreements setting forth NITC's rules and guidelines for use.

NITC retains the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend or revoke any person’s permission to use its certification mark. In most circumstances, once NITC learns that a person is misusing the certification mark, NITC will provide the person with notice and a reasonable opportunity to comply with their rules and guidelines. However, NITC retains the right to suspend or revoke privileges without notice and an opportunity to correct, particularly when the violation is of a gross nature and more immediate action is necessary to stop misuse.

Actions by NITC to suspend or revoke use of the certification mark will be communicated in writing to the person whose privileges are being suspended or revoked and to all other persons affected by the decision. NITC may also announce its proceedings on its website and/or any other of its publications. Should any person continue to use NITC's certification mark after notice of suspension or revocation, NITC shall seek full equitable and/or legal remedies through a court of competent authority."

NITC retains the right, at its sole discretion, to permit, suspend, or revoke any person’s permission to use its certification mark.
