Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: 24th March 2025

Welcome to Mallon Associates International Limited. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our certification system and our website. By accessing or using any part of our services (“Services”), including browsing the site, registering for a voucher, or completing a certification, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which governs how we collect and handle your personal information.

1. Overview of Services

Mallon Associates International Limited (“Mallon Associates”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) offers a certification platform that enables individuals to:

  • Register for a voucher using their legal name and email address.
  • Complete an online assessment using a secure, proctored testing system.
  • Receive a digital certificate and badge upon successful completion.
  • Access a verification portal to validate their certification.

2. Eligibility and Registration

To register for a voucher, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age or have appropriate consent.
  • Provide a valid email address and the full legal name to appear on your certificate. These details are binding and cannot be changed unless you contact support@mallon.associates with proof of legal name change (e.g., deed poll, marriage certificate) or updated email documentation.

If you are purchasing a voucher for someone else, you must provide their name and email at the time of purchase — not your own. In so doing, you confirm that you have obtained their consent to share this information with us.

3. Test Conditions and Conduct

To uphold the integrity of the certification process, you agree to:

  • Take the test in full-screen mode.
  • Share your screen for the entire test duration for monitoring purposes.
  • Complete the test without assistance or unauthorized materials.
  • Refrain from sharing, distributing, or disclosing any test content, questions, or answers to others.

Violation of these rules may result in disqualification, revocation of your certification, and/or a ban from future participation.

4. Certification, Badge, and Verification

If you pass the assessment:

  • You will receive a digital certificate via email, valid for 24 months from the date of issue.
  • You will receive a certification badge (in image format) that may be displayed on your website or personal profile.
  • Certification validity can be verified through our verification portal using the certificate ID and the registered email address.

5. Data and Privacy

When using our Services, you provide personal data such as your name and email address. This data is used to deliver and administer the certification process.

We may share your data with carefully selected third parties solely for the purpose of providing the Services. This includes:

  • Payment processing (e.g., Stripe)
  • Testing platforms (e.g., TestInvite)
  • The certification organisation (e.g., 3Forge if taking the 3Forge Dashboard Creator Certification)

We and the relevant certification organisation may also use your name and email for limited marketing purposes, including notifying you about new certifications, training opportunities, or updates to the program. You can opt out of such communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

For full details, please refer to our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
