By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use this website.

Website Information Only
The information on this website is provided for general informational and business purposes only.

Website content is not professional advice, legal advice, regulatory advice, engineering advice, certification advice, cybersecurity advice, medical advice, financial advice, or a substitute for advice based on your organization’s specific facts and circumstances.

You should not rely on website content as the sole basis for making business, legal, regulatory, certification, quality, engineering, safety, compliance, cybersecurity, operational, or financial decisions.

No Client Relationship Created by Website Use
Your use of this website, submission of a contact form, or communication with ASFM through the website does not create a client, consultant-client, advisor-client, auditor-client, fiduciary, legal, or professional relationship.

Any consulting, auditing, training, technical writing, regulatory-support, project-management, or advisory services provided by ASFM are subject to a separate written agreement accepted by ASFM.

No Guarantee of Certification, Approval, Compliance, or Results
ASFM may provide consulting, training, auditing support, gap assessments, technical writing, management-system support, regulatory-support services, and related business services.

ASFM is not a certification body, accreditation body, registrar, notified body, government agency, regulator, or law firm unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

ASFM does not guarantee:

Certification under ISO, AS, NADCAP, FAA, EASA, FDA, or any other standard or regulatory framework;
Regulatory approval, regulatory acceptance, or government acceptance;
Successful audit results;
Qualification by a customer, regulator, registrar, accreditation body, certification body, prime contractor, or supplier approval program;
Business growth, contract awards, market access, revenue, profit, cost savings, or operational outcomes;
Complete elimination of legal, regulatory, quality, operational, cybersecurity, business, or compliance risk.

Any results depend on many factors outside ASFM’s control, including your organization’s systems, processes, personnel, documentation, implementation, resources, management commitment, certification body, regulator, customer requirements, supplier requirements, and applicable laws, regulations, or standards.

No Legal or Regulatory Advice
ASFM may provide business, quality, management-system, auditing, training, technical writing, and regulatory-support services. However, website content is not legal advice and should not be treated as legal advice.

You should consult qualified legal counsel, regulatory counsel, certification bodies, registrars, government agencies, or appropriate professionals for advice specific to your situation.
