Consulting Disclaimer

A legal disclaimer

TERMS OF USE & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DISCLAIMER
Effective Date: August 2026
Last Updated: August 2026
These Terms of Use and Professional Services Disclaimer (“Terms”) regulate your interaction with the website managed by Quality Solutions Consulting Group LLC (“QSCG LLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Accessing or browsing this site constitutes your acceptance of these Terms.
1. About QSCG LLC
Quality Solutions Consulting Group LLC operates as an independent consultancy specializing in management systems and auditing. Our service portfolio encompasses system consulting, implementation guidance, gap analysis, internal and second-party audits, training, risk management, interim quality leadership, and professional advisory support.
Specific project details—including deliverables, duties, costs, and unique provisions—are defined by the specific proposal, statement of work, or service agreement executed between QSCG LLC and the client.
Should these general website Terms conflict with a specific signed client agreement, the provisions of that individual agreement will remain authoritative for that specific engagement.
2. QSCG LLC Is Not a Certification Body
QSCG LLC does not function as a certification body, registrar, or accreditation entity.
We do not grant ISO, AS, or other accredited third-party certifications of conformity. QSCG LLC supports clients in building, managing, and refining their systems to prepare for external audits by independent registrars. Any final decision regarding the status of a certification lies exclusively with the relevant certification body.
Engaging QSCG LLC for consulting or audit preparation does not guarantee certification nor does it grant any entitlement to such status.
3. No Guarantee of Outcomes
QSCG LLC offers no guarantee that a client will reach or maintain certification status, pass an audit without findings, or satisfy specific regulatory or customer mandates. Our audits and assessments are snapshots based on provided data, sampling, and observations at a specific time.
Because auditing relies on sampling rather than a total review of every single record or activity, the absence of identified nonconformities during our engagement does not prove that no risks or deficiencies exist. The client’s management maintains final accountability for system compliance.
4. Independence of Decisions
Unless explicitly stated, any certification body used by a client is entirely independent of QSCG LLC. We have no influence over the findings or rulings of external auditors, registrars, or regulatory agencies. Opinions shared by QSCG LLC do not bind these third parties.
5. Client Responsibility
While QSCG LLC provides expert guidance, the ultimate responsibility for the management system’s effectiveness and design rests with the client. The client is responsible for identifying applicable laws, maintaining records, ensuring the accuracy of data shared with us, and deciding if specialized legal or engineering advice is required. Our recommendations support, but do not replace, management’s professional judgment.
6. Internal and Supplier Audits
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all audits performed by QSCG LLC are considered internal, gap assessments, or supplier audits. These are non-certification activities and should not be presented as third-party certification audits. Conclusions are limited to the specific criteria and evidence reviewed during the site visit or assessment period.
7. No Legal or Regulatory Advice
Content found on this website or within our training materials is for educational purposes and is not legal advice. QSCG LLC does not provide legal opinions regarding statutes, export controls, or privacy laws. Clients should secure qualified legal counsel for such matters.
8. Evolving Requirements
Standards and regulations undergo frequent changes. As such, information on this site may become dated. It is the responsibility of the visitor to verify the current versions of standards relevant to their business. References to specific standards do not imply that QSCG LLC owns or establishes them.
9. Third-Party Trademarks
“ISO” refers to the International Organization for Standardization. References to ISO 9001, AS9100, or other standards are used solely to identify the professional services we provide. All trademarks and logos remain the property of their respective owners. Mention of these marks does not imply an official affiliation or endorsement by those organizations.
10. General Information Only
This website provides general educational content. It should not be utilized as a substitute for professional recommendations tailored to a specific organization. Significant business or regulatory decisions should not be based solely on this general content.
11. Resource Materials
QSCG LLC may offer templates, toolkits, or guides. These must be customized and approved by the user to fit their unique operational needs. Using these resources does not automatically ensure compliance or guarantee a successful audit outcome.
12. Intellectual Property
Original website content and materials—including methodologies and templates—are the property of Quality Solutions Consulting Group LLC. These materials may not be redistributed, resold, or reproduced without express written permission or a valid product license.
13. Submission of Sensitive Data
Please do not send confidential, classified, or export-controlled information through our general contact forms without prior authorization. Submitting a form does not establish a formal confidential relationship beyond what is required by law. Confidentiality for projects is governed by specific NDAs or service agreements.
14. External Links
We may provide links to third-party sites for convenience. QSCG LLC does not control these external resources and is not responsible for their security, privacy practices, or content accuracy.
15. No Warranties
This website is provided on an “as is” basis. QSCG LLC makes no warranty that the site content is error-free or perfectly suited for every user's needs, except where expressly stated in a signed service contract.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, QSCG LLC will not be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of this website. Liability for paid services is restricted to the terms defined in the specific client engagement agreement.
17. Professional Engagements
Interacting with this site or submitting a query does not create a professional consultant-client relationship. An engagement is only established once QSCG LLC formally accepts a project through our standard contracting process.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by Maryland law, excluding conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the appropriate venues within the State of Maryland.
19. Updates
QSCG LLC reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updates are effective immediately upon posting to the website.
