The shape of the agreement.

1. What we are

CPDCollective is a private editorial project that reviews submitted continuing professional development (CPD) material and, where appropriate, issues a non-statutory editorial mark to indicate the material has been reviewed and recommended by us at the time of submission.

We are not a regulator, a qualification body, a statutory accreditor, or a government scheme. The mark is not a licence, a certification of regulatory compliance, or an endorsement by any public authority.

2. Submitting material

By submitting material to us, you confirm that:

• The material is your own, or you have the rights necessary to submit it for review.
• It is accurate to the best of your knowledge at the time you submit it.
• It is lawful, and submitting it to us does not infringe any third party's rights.

You give us permission to read, store, and process the material for the purpose of reviewing it and corresponding with you about it.

3. How review works

Every submission is read by a specialised AI reviewer trained for CPD content, with a human (us) making the final call on whether the mark is issued. Reviews reflect our editorial judgement at the time of review. We do not guarantee that a review catches every error, omission, or issue. The mark is not a certification of regulatory compliance and is not a substitute for your own quality control.

We do not promise to review everything we receive. We do promise that everyone who submits material gets a real answer.

4. No warranty

The mark is offered as-is and as-available. We do not warrant that any marked material is fit for any particular purpose, complies with any specific regulatory regime, or meets the CPD requirements of any specific professional body. Where you need CPD that satisfies a specific regulator's requirements, you must check with that regulator.

5. Using the mark

If we issue the mark for a piece of your material, you may use it on that specific course or material only, with the wording we provide. You must not:

• Apply the mark to other courses or material we have not reviewed.
• Imply the mark is a government, regulator, or statutory endorsement.
• Alter the mark itself.

Misuse of the mark triggers automatic withdrawal.

6. Withdrawing the mark

We may withdraw the mark at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to: facts about the course or provider changing, complaints reaching us that we consider material, or misuse of the mark. Withdrawal is at our editorial discretion.

7. Indemnity

If a claim is brought against CPDCollective by any third party arising from the content of a marked course, the marketing of it, or the way the mark was used by you, you agree to indemnify CPDCollective for any reasonable costs, damages, and legal fees, except to the extent that such costs arise from our own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

8. Limits of these terms

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the laws of England and Wales, including liability for fraud or for personal injury caused by negligence.

9. Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

10. Changes

We may update these terms as the project develops. The version that applies to your submission is the version published on this page at the time you submitted.
