Successful candidates will be granted certification as a
CHT by HTCC, and are permitted to use the "CHT"
and "Certified Hand Therapist " trademarks ("Marks")
as long as you maintain valid certification with HTCC, including
compliance with all HTCC standards, policies and procedures
as they may be amended. The "CHT" and "Certified
Hand Therapist " trademarks are owned by HTCC, and HTCC
has the sole right to control the use of the Marks. However,
with continued certification and compliance, HTCC will permit
you to use the Marks. Permitted uses of the Marks include:
- displaying the Certificate issued by HTCC granting CHT
status;
- stating that you are a "Certified Hand Therapist™,"
a "CHT," or otherwise indicating that you are
certified by HTCC;
- using the Marks on your business cards and stationery;
- using the Marks in yellow page advertisements for your
services as a certified hand therapist;
- using the Marks on other promotional materials, provided
that the materials are reviewed and approved in advance
by HTCC.
If you have any questions regarding proper use of the Marks,
and for all uses of the Marks other than on business cards,
stationery, and yellow page advertisements, submit a sample
of the proposed use to HTCC for review. HTCC reserves the
right to control the quality of all promotional materials
on which the Marks are used. The Marks may not be used in
any manner which implies that you have any relationship with
HTCC other than as a certificant, or in any other manner which
is in conflict with HTCC philosophy or principles as expressed
in HTCC’s standards, policies and procedures. From time
to time, HTCC may ask you to provide to HTCC a sample of stationary,
business cards, or other promotional materials so that HTCC
can determine whether the Marks are being used in the manner
which complies with this Agreement. If you fail to comply
with the permitted use of the Marks, or if you fail to maintain
valid certification with HTCC, you will no longer have the
right to use the Marks in any manner, and may not distribute
any materials containing the Marks that you may already have
prepared. HTCC shall be the final judge as to whether any
use of the Marks is consistent with HTCC’s standards,
policies and procedures.
Your employer is permitted to use the Marks to advertise
your services as a certified hand therapist provided that
the advertisements are truthful and not misleading. CHTs and
their employers are not permitted to use HTCC’s "hands"
logo; this logo is for HTCC’s organizational use only.
