ERIS is a trademark of IRMI and our rights to this mark are protected under
the law. When you register for the ERIS program in the ERIS Learning Center,
you agree to all the terms and conditions enumerated below. If you complete the
ERIS core curriculum within 60 months of beginning it, you receive a revocable,
non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the ERIS
trademark. All of the following terms and conditions apply to your
certification and use of the ERIS mark.
-
Immediately upon completion of the ERIS five-part core curriculum, you
are licensed to publish and announce that you are a holder of the Energy
Risk and Insurance Specialist certification and to display the ERIS
trademark in conjunction with your name for a period of twelve (12)
months.
-
You may renew your license to use the ERIS certification for additional
12-month periods by completing at least 6 hours of ERIS CE courses or
approved seminars/conferences prior to the end of the initial 12 month or
any subsequent 12-month license period. Your license expires on the day a
license period ends without your having completed (and, if a seminar or
conference, notified us of completion) the required renewal CE.

Your display of the ERIS certification with your name will place a comma
before the certification, followed by the certification in all capital
letters without periods or other punctuation (for example: John

place the trademark symbol ™ in superscript to the right of the mark.

your license to use the ERIS mark will be immediately revoked and you shall
immediately discontinue using the ERIS trademark, destroy any business
cards or other printed materials showing the ERIS mark, and cease claiming
to be a holder of the Energy Risk and Insurance Specialist
