5. That I shall not make any false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or deceptive representation regarding my qualifications, training, experience, competence, registration status, or professional services.
6. That I acknowledge and affirm that philosophical counselling and philosophical practice constitute a discipline of philosophical inquiry, dialogue, reflection, conceptual clarification, and value exploration, and do not constitute medical, psychiatric, psychological, legal, or other regulated professional services unless separately qualified and authorized by law.

8. That I shall refrain from any conduct constituting professional misconduct, ethical breach, conflict of interest, abuse of professional position, exploitation of clients, or any act likely to bring the Society, the NRPPI, or the profession into disrepute.
