Common use of CERTIFICATION REVIEW Clause in Contracts

CERTIFICATION REVIEW. 5.1 Upon receipt of Your Application for a Project, GBCI will initiate its review, which includes review of the Application, and all accompanying documentation You submit therewith to determine if the Project is eligible for Certification (and if so, the appropriate level of Certification to be conferred). During a review, GBCI may request additional documentation, resubmission of calculations and any other information or factors that GBCI deems relevant, including, at GBCI’s discretion, a site visit to confirm the accuracy of the documentation which You will allow, provided GBCI has given You advance notice and made a reasonable attempt to conform to Your schedule. GBCI will use all reasonable efforts to meet any review timelines set forth in the Certification Guidebook (each, a “Review Timeline”); however, such Review Timelines are estimates only. The failure of GBCI to meet any Review Timeline will not be considered a material breach of this Agreement and You will not be entitled to any refund of any portion of any Fees paid by You under this Agreement as a result of such failure, provided, however, You will be accorded additional time to respond to GBCI commensurate with any delay related to GBCI’s failure to meet a Review Timeline. 5.2 While some certifications are valid continuously once achieved, other certifications are valid only for a definite number of years. Please consult the Certification Guidebook to ensure that You are aware of any necessary recertification. Failure to maintain certification will cause the Project’s certification to expire and the Project will either be listed as having expired certification within the Project Directory (defined below) or be removed from the Project Directory at the discretion of GBCI. 5.3 You recognize and acknowledge that the Program, while regulated by specific policies and standards, also requires discretion and judgment. The decision whether to grant or deny Certification to a Project will be made in the discretion of GBCI, acting reasonably, based on GBCI’s interpretation of the Standard), the sufficiency of the submitted Project Information (defined below), the results of any necessary on-site visits, and any other information that GBCI deems relevant.
