Identifying a genuine ICC document
- Published: 03/06/2013
There are a number of documents – which are not genuine ICC documents - circulating on the Internet which make reference to, or purport to be issued by, ICC. These sometimes bear the ICC logo. This FAQ is to help you distinguish between authentic and fake ICC documents.
I have been sent a message or document which seems to be from ICC. How do I know if this is a genuine ICC document? Can I rely on it?
There are a number of documents – which are not genuine ICC documents - circulating on the Internet which make reference to, or purport to be issued by, ICC. These sometimes bear the ICC logo.
These documents are circulating without ICC's consent and without relation to any ICC work or mission, and have been the subject of ICC warnings during the past years.
Please note that ICC, its affiliates and divisions DO NOT:
- Publish “black lists”, "warning letters" or any information concerning the illegal or fraudulent behaviour of individual companies or persons.
- Award prize money or winnings or issue “prize notifications”.
- Issue notifications concerning “complaints” by individual companies or persons.
- Publish documents relating to specific cases pending before the International Court of Arbitration or other dispute resolution services on public websites. Notification of any request for arbitration to responding parties is made by the Secretariat of the International Court of Arbitration in accordance with the ICC Rules of Arbitration.
- Endorse individual contracts or parties to such contracts.
- Issue certificates or other documents endorsing or certifying specific companies.
Please also note that the only official ICC model contract addressing the confidentiality and non-circumvention obligations of intermediaries is the ICC Model Occasional Intermediary Contract (Non-Circumvention and Non-Disclosure Agreement) which is available at http://www.iccbooks.com/Product/ProductInfo.aspx?id=214. Any other contract purporting to be an ICC–endorsed Non-Circumvention, Non-Disclosure & Working Agreement (NCNDA) or an Irrevocable Master Fee Protection Agreement (IMFPAICC) is not a genuine ICC document.
Any correspondence or documents indicating the contrary have been published or sent without the knowledge or assistance of ICC and do not have its endorsement or approval.
You should not rely on such documents for your business or personal activities.
Please also note that such correspondence may contain links which lead to unsafe websites that can put at risk systems and data. Recipients should therefore take appropriate measures with respect to such messages.
ICC disclaims all responsibility for any such correspondence, documents or information and any possible prejudice caused by such communications, including by any links, viruses or other elements contained in such material.
What do I do if I receive such a document?
