Provider Sponsorship Terms

1. Sponsored Placement

A paid sponsorship can place an eligible provider above non-sponsored provider listings for the applicable search or category. Every paid result must display a clear Sponsored label directly on the listing.

2. No Issuer Endorsement

Payment does not create or imply endorsement, recommendation, authorization, certification, accreditation, approval, partnership, or affiliation by Med-Cert Pro, the American Heart Association, National Registry, a government agency, licensing authority, or any credential issuer.

3. Provider Claims

Provider represents that business name, locations, programs, URLs, authorization statements, availability claims, pricing, and other submitted information are accurate and not misleading. Claims of issuer authorization may require documentary verification before publication.

4. Trademarks and Logos

Provider may not require Med-Cert Pro to use third-party logos or marks unless Provider demonstrates authority for that use and Med-Cert Pro approves it in writing. Med-Cert Pro may use text-only issuer references when legally permitted.

5. Ranking

Sponsored providers sort before organic providers. Among sponsored results, Med-Cert Pro may use sponsorship tier/priority, geographic relevance, course compatibility, data completeness, safety, and quality controls. Among organic results, Med-Cert Pro may use geographic relevance, credential compatibility, verified information, availability data, and similar objective factors.

6. User Choice

Users remain responsible for confirming that a provider/course satisfies issuer, employer, licensing, or regulatory requirements before purchase or attendance.

7. Advertising Disclosure

Sponsored status must remain conspicuous and cannot be hidden, abbreviated into ambiguous wording, or contradicted by nearby copy.

8. Removal

Med-Cert Pro may suspend or remove misleading, inaccurate, infringing, unsafe, outdated, or policy-violating listings. Payment does not guarantee publication where a listing fails review.

9. Fees / Term

Pricing, placement period, cancellation, refund policy, taxes, impressions/click terms if used, and renewal must be specified in the Provider Order Form.

10. Orders, cancellation and refunds

An accepted order identifies the provider, authorized contact, approved markets, tier, placement period, price, tax, renewal and any campaign-specific commitments. Automatic renewal applies only if disclosed and accepted. Unless the order or applicable law states otherwise, cancellation prevents future renewal and does not refund placement already delivered. If Med-Cert Pro ends a compliant paid placement for its own convenience or cannot provide it, the provider may receive a pro-rata refund or agreed credit for undelivered prepaid placement. A policy violation may result in removal; any refund then follows the order and applicable law. No minimum impressions, leads, ranking within a tier, sales or credential acceptance are guaranteed.

11. Liability, disputes and contact

The Terms of Service govern applicable liability limits, non-waivable protections, Louisiana law and courts unless a signed order expressly changes them. Use [email protected] for legal notices and [email protected] for listing issues. Submitted materials remain the provider's; the provider licenses their display only as needed for the accepted placement and related administration.

Published sponsorship tiers

Unless a written agreement states otherwise, Med-Cert Pro may publish the following annual sponsorship tiers: Directory Listing (free after review), Local Sponsor ($199/year for one approved market), Regional Sponsor ($399/year for up to three approved markets), and Premier Sponsor ($699/year for up to eight approved markets). Med-Cert Pro may change future pricing prospectively, but an already accepted paid term is governed by the pricing and service period shown in the applicable order, invoice, or written agreement.

Paid placement is advertising placement only. It does not represent credential-issuer approval, course accreditation, government endorsement, AHA endorsement, National Registry endorsement, or a guarantee that a course will satisfy a user’s renewal requirements.

Sponsorship invoices and analytics

Med-Cert Pro may issue its own invoices and paid receipts for sponsorship purchases where Med-Cert Pro is the merchant of record. Sponsor analytics may include listing impressions, profile opens, website clicks, contact actions, and market-level performance. Med-Cert Pro does not use private credential-document contents to target sponsorship placement.
