TRIP is a trademark of IRMI and our rights to this mark are protected under
the law. When you register for the TRIP program in the TRIP Learning Center,
you agree to all the terms and conditions enumerated below. If you complete the
TRIP core curriculum within 60 months of beginning it, you receive a revocable,
non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the TRIP
trademark. All of the following terms and conditions apply to your
certification and use of the TRIP mark.
-
Immediately upon completion of the TRIP five-part core curriculum, you
are licensed to publish and announce that you are a holder of the
Transportation Risk and Insurance Professional certification and to display
the TRIP trademark in conjunction with your name for a period of 12
months.
-
You may renew your license to use the TRIP certification for additional
12-month periods by completing at least 6 hours of TRIP 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 TRIP 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 Doe,
TRIP).

Your display of the TRIP certification on LinkedIn should be in the
“Licenses and Certifications” section of your profile. It is to be worded
as follows: TRIP—Transportation Risk and Insurance Professional.

Your display/mention of the TRIP certification in a résumé, biography,
or similar document should be either simply as “TRIP” or
“TRIP—Transportation Risk and Insurance Professional” (without the quotes
for either one).

Whenever the TRIP mark is displayed in a typeface larger than 12 points,
place the trademark symbol ™ in superscript to the right of the mark.
-
In the event you fail to comply with any provisions of these Terms and
Conditions of Use, IRMI revokes your license as provided for herein, or you
fail to renew your certification by completing the required CE courses,
your license to use the TRIP mark will be immediately revoked and you shall
immediately discontinue using the TRIP trademark, destroy any business
cards or other printed materials showing the TRIP mark, and cease claiming
to be a holder of the Transportation Risk and Insurance Professional
certification.
-
In the event your license to use the TRIP certification expires because
you fail to renew it by completing the required CE courses, you must
complete the core curriculum to again earn the right to use the TRIP
certification.
