Terms and Conditions
Clear. Binding. Non-negotiable.
By accepting these terms and conditions, you are making a commitment to uphold the highest standards of care and to abide by the principles of holistic healing.
You agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions:
-
Membership: ICAHP membership is available to holistic healing professionals, practitioners, and healers as well as businesses in the field of holistic healing, wellness and alternative medicine who share a commitment to holistic healing and meet our standards of excellence. Membership is subject to approval by ICAHP and is contingent upon adherence to our code of ethics and other requirements as outlined in our membership application materials.
-
Code of Ethics: All ICAHP members are required to abide by our Code of Ethics, which outlines the principles of holistic healing and the ethical and professional conduct expected of all members. Failure to comply with the Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action, up to and including revocation of membership.
-
Scope of Practice: ICAHP members are only authorized to provide therapies and trainings that fall within the scope of their training and competence. Members are responsible for ensuring that they maintain their knowledge and skills in their area of practice and do not provide services beyond their level of training and competence.
-
Logo Usage: The ICAHP logo may be used only by ICAHP members in good standing. Any use of the ICAHP logo, certification mark, badge, or certificate without a valid and active membership, including continued use after membership termination, may result in enforcement action, including legal remedies.
-
Membership Processing: After payment and submission of all required application materials, ICAHP will process membership applications within five (5) working days. If the application is approved, a signed digital certificate and the ICAHP Certification Mark will be included in the acceptance email and made available for download.
-
Complaints: In the event of a dispute or complaint, clients are expected to make every reasonable effort to resolve the matter directly with the training provider or practitioner. ICAHP does not act as a mediator, arbitrator, or dispute resolution body and will not intervene as a mediator in individual complaints between clients and members. This does not prevent ICAHP from reviewing matters for the purposes of ethics compliance or membership enforcement. Members remain solely responsible for handling complaints related to their services and for complying with the laws and regulations applicable in their country of residence or practice.
-
Yearly Subscriptions: Annual memberships renew on a yearly basis. If written notice of cancellation is not received by ICAHP at least ninety (90) days prior to the annual renewal date, the membership continues for the following year and the applicable annual fee becomes payable. The renewal fee will be charged via Stripe or PayPal within the ninety (90) days preceding the renewal date. ICAHP does not issue renewal reminders. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to info@icahp.org
-
Monthly Instalments: Monthly instalment payments are charged on the same calendar day of each month as the original sign-up date. By enrolling in a monthly instalment plan, the member enters into a minimum one-year membership commitment. If written notice of cancellation is not received by ICAHP at least ninety (90) days prior to the annual renewal date, the membership continues for the following year and the member remains liable for the full annual membership fee, payable through monthly instalments. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to info@icahp.org.
-
Cancellation:
Membership cancellation requests must be submitted to ICAHP in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the annual renewal date. Cancellation becomes effective at the end of the current membership term. Failure to provide timely notice results in continuation of membership for the following year, and all applicable fees remain due and payable.
Upon effective cancellation, members must remove the ICAHP logo and certification mark from all websites, materials, and representations indicating ICAHP membership.
Membership fees are non-refundable. No refunds or partial refunds will be issued for any membership fees paid or payable, including for documents or materials already provided. Refunds will be issued only in the event that ICAHP declines an application prior to acceptance.
-
Marketing Communications: ICAHP may send members communications related to their membership, including administrative updates, notices, and information relevant to ICAHP activities. Members may also receive newsletters or informational emails about ICAHP services and initiatives. ICAHP does not share member contact information with third parties. Members may opt out of non-essential communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in such communications.
-
Country Regulations: It is the duty of all members to verify and comply with the regulations of their respective countries. ICAHP does not hold any responsibility in this regard. ICAHP is an independent professional organization that is not affiliated with any country government. ICAHP affiliation is a recognition solely provided by ICAHP to its members who meet the organization's standards and requirements for certification. This recognition is not equivalent to or a substitute for government approval or endorsement.
-
Members' Responsibilities: As an ICAHP Holistic Practitioner and/or Training Provider, you must not mislead clients by offering therapies, trainings, or services for which you are not qualified. Misleading the public or clients may result in removal of ICAHP affiliation without refund. ICAHP accepts no responsibility for any services received from an ICAHP Holistic Practitioner and/or Training Provider. All members acknowledge that they have read and understood these terms and conditions and agree to abide by the Code of Ethics.
