Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of ecgdc.com and any related pages, downloads and content (together, the “Website”), operated by Elizarov Consulting Group (“ECG”, “we”, “us” or “our”), with offices at 321 Ballenger Center Dr, Suite 125, Frederick, MD 21703, USA.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website. If you use the Website on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

The Website provides general information about ECG, our capabilities, the industries we serve, our partners and how to contact us. It is intended for business audiences, including commercial organizations, nonprofits, educational institutions and government agencies.

The Website is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18.

Content on the Website, including descriptions of our services, case studies, insights and our Capabilities Statement, is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, procurement, technical or other professional advice, and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances.

Browsing the Website, contacting us, or scheduling a Discovery Session does not create a consulting, advisory or other client relationship with ECG. Any engagement for our services will be governed exclusively by a separate written agreement signed by both parties, and in the event of a conflict, that agreement prevails over these Terms.

When you contact us by email, phone or through any request on the Website, you agree to provide accurate and current information. Please do not send confidential, proprietary, classified, controlled unclassified (CUI) or export-controlled information through the Website or by unsolicited email.

Information you share before a written agreement is in place is not treated as confidential unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. Discovery Sessions are offered at our discretion, and we may decline or reschedule any request. How we handle personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Website describes our experience supporting government, defense and public-sector clients. References to government agencies, programs, contract vehicles or regulations are for descriptive purposes only and do not imply endorsement of ECG by any government entity.

Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer, a bid, a proposal or a binding representation regarding pricing, availability, certifications or eligibility for any specific procurement. Any such representation will be made only in formal proposal documents or agreements.

You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict the use of the Website by, anyone else. In particular, you agree not to:

• —attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers or any connected systems;
• —introduce viruses, malware or any other harmful code, or interfere with the Website’s operation or security;
• —use automated means such as bots, scrapers or crawlers to copy or harvest content or contact details, except for standard search engine indexing;
• —impersonate ECG, our team members or any other person, or misrepresent your affiliation with any organization;
• —use the Website to send unsolicited marketing or any unlawful, misleading or offensive material.

The Website and its content, including text, graphics, illustrations, the ECG name, lion emblem, logos, design, page layout and downloadable materials such as our Capabilities Statement, are owned by or licensed to ECG and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

You may view, download and print content from the Website for your own internal, non-commercial evaluation of ECG’s services, provided you keep all copyright and proprietary notices intact. You may share our Capabilities Statement in unmodified form for procurement or partnering evaluation. Any other reproduction, modification, distribution or commercial use requires our prior written consent.

Names and logos of partners, clients and other organizations that appear on the Website are trademarks of their respective owners. Their display reflects a working, partnering or industry relationship and does not imply that those organizations sponsor or endorse ECG or the Website, beyond what is expressly stated.

The Website contains links to third-party websites and services, including our profiles on Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of third-party sites, and your use of them is subject to their own terms.

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies, including Google Tag Manager and related analytics tools, to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve it. By continuing to use the Website, you acknowledge this use as described in our Cookies Policy and Privacy Policy, which form part of these Terms.

The Website and all content are provided “as is” and “as available”. While we aim to keep information accurate and up to date, we make no warranties or representations, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, reliability or availability of the Website, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Website at any time without notice, and we do not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ECG and its officers, employees, partners and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, contracts or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Website or reliance on its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ECG and its officers, employees, partners and agents from any claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Website.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Website will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Maryland, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, our services or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact Elizarov Consulting Group at 321 Ballenger Center Dr, Suite 125, Frederick, MD 21703, USA, by phone at 240-720-3090, or by email at Info@ecgdc.com.
