IAM does not vouch for your qualifications as a mediator or your compliance with these requirements but only informs the public of your assertions of qualifications and compliance so that they may make more informed choices. Since IAM is unable to verify your information or monitor your practice, IAM and the public rely upon your truthfulness and integrity.
IAM considers the submission of this form along with payment of your certification as your acceptance of these understandings.
