Effective / Last updated: August 26, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by JLS Consulting Group, LLC (“JLS,” “we,” “us”). Please read them carefully.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
2. Use of the website
This website is provided for general business and informational purposes. You may view, browse, and print pages for your own internal, non-commercial reference, and you may contact us through the contact form with accurate information about yourself and your organization.
3. Informational nature of website content
All content on this website — descriptions of certification frameworks, services, methodology, partners, and timelines — is informational and general in nature. It is not legal advice, regulatory advice, or engagement-specific guidance, and it does not create a consultant–client relationship. Nothing on this website is an offer or commitment to perform services; services are provided only under a separate written agreement.
4. No guarantee of certification or regulatory outcome
Information presented on this website does not itself constitute certification, regulatory approval, authorization, accreditation, or endorsement of any product, service, or organization. Certification and authorization decisions are made by independent laboratories, assessors, and government authorities, not by JLS. We do not guarantee that any product will obtain a particular certification, achieve a particular authorization, pass a particular assessment, or meet a particular timeline.
5. Intellectual property
The website and its content — including text, graphics, illustrations, layout, and the JLS Consulting Group name and logo — are owned by JLS or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Framework names, program names, and third-party marks referenced on this website belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only; their use does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
6. Permitted and prohibited use
You agree not to:
- Copy, republish, resell, or redistribute website content without our written consent.
- Use the website for any unlawful, deceptive, or infringing purpose.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, its infrastructure, or any connected system, or to interfere with its normal operation.
- Use automated scraping, harvesting, or bulk-submission tools, or submit spam, malware, or false information through the contact form.
- Remove or obscure any proprietary notices on the website.
7. Third-party websites and links
The website contains links to third-party sites and embedded third-party content, such as LinkedIn profiles and Google Maps. We do not control and are not responsible for those sites or their content, availability, or practices. Following such links is at your own risk and subject to the third party’s terms.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or currency of content. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure, or error free. Certification requirements change; content may become outdated.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, JLS Consulting Group, LLC and its members, officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost business, lost data, or certification or procurement outcomes, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this website — whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JLS Consulting Group, LLC and its members, officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of your use of the website or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
11. Changes to the website and these Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website at any time without notice, and we may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the effective date above will be revised. Your continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Maryland have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the website.
