Legal notices and disclaimers.

01 Scope of services and no professional advice

Reports, models, matrices, briefs, presentations, visuals, and other deliverables provided by ZKK Consulting LLC are business research and analysis only. We present sources, assumptions, findings, estimates, and possible considerations. Our deliverables are not legal, regulatory, medical, clinical, tax, accounting, or investment advice, and nothing on this site or in any deliverable should be relied on as such.

Where a deliverable includes strategic considerations or recommendations, those are research-supported options and trade-offs drawn from the sources and assumptions stated in that deliverable. They are not guarantees or predictions of outcome, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified licensed professional.

Nothing in any deliverable is a guarantee or prediction of funding, regulatory clearance or approval, certification, patent grant or enforceability, coverage, reimbursement, market acceptance, or financial results. Clients remain solely responsible for their own regulatory, legal, clinical, commercial, and business decisions and should obtain advice from qualified licensed professionals before acting.

02 Patent landscape research

Patent Landscape Research is strategic business and market research only. ZKK Consulting LLC is not a law firm, does not practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any other patent office, and does not provide legal advice.

A patent landscape deliverable is not a legal patentability opinion, not a validity opinion, and not a formal Freedom-to-Operate opinion. We do not determine or opine on infringement, non-infringement, patent validity, enforceability, or claim construction. Functional overlaps, competitive considerations, and potential business risks identified in a deliverable are business observations offered for discussion, not legal conclusions.

Patent research reflects the databases and published records available to us as of the report date. Applications may be unpublished, records may be incomplete, and the field changes continuously. Clients should consult qualified patent counsel for legal conclusions and determinations before relying on any patent-related finding.

03 Regulatory and standards research

Research covering FDA, FCC, and other regulatory or standards frameworks describes what publicly available regulations, guidance documents, standards, and databases say as of the report date. It is offered as research and technical consulting support.

ZKK Consulting LLC does not provide legal advice, does not issue regulatory opinions or determinations, does not certify products, and does not represent clients in regulatory, enforcement, or legal proceedings. We are not your regulatory agent or legal representative. Classification, clearance, certification, and compliance determinations rest with the relevant agencies and accredited bodies. Where a legal determination or representation is required, qualified counsel or an appropriately qualified regulatory professional should be retained.

Reimbursement, coverage, and coding research reflects publicly available sources as of the report date and is not billing or coding guidance. Coverage policies, code assignments, and payment rates change and vary by payer, site of service, and jurisdiction.

04 Illustrative content and sample deliverables

Sample deliverables published on this site, including the deliverable excerpt on the Our Work page and any sample briefs, reports, or excerpts made available for download, are independent demonstrations of format and method, not client engagements.

All companies, product names, prices, codes, counts, market sizes, percentages, revenue figures, and other data appearing in those samples are fictitious and included for illustration only. They are not client data, are not derived from any client engagement, and do not represent or refer to any real product, company, person, or transaction. Any resemblance to an actual product or company is coincidental.

Source names shown in samples illustrate the kinds of sources used in real work. The figures attributed to them in samples are invented and should not be cited or relied on for any purpose.

Where a sanitized or redacted client deliverable is published, it is published only with that client's permission and is labeled as a client engagement. Sample work is always labeled as sample work. We do not present invented engagements as real ones.

05 Projections and forward-looking statements

Market sizing, revenue models, adoption curves, pricing scenarios, and similar analyses are estimates built on stated assumptions. They are inherently uncertain and depend on inputs, methods, and conditions that may change or prove incorrect.

Assumptions and sources are documented in every deliverable so they can be reviewed and challenged. Actual results will differ, potentially materially, from any projection. No representation is made that any projected outcome will be achieved.

06 Pricing, scope, and timelines

Prices shown on this site are current published starting prices for the packages and services described, and are subject to change. The price, scope, and deliverables for a given engagement are the ones set out in that engagement's signed Statement of Work, which controls over anything published here.

Add-on pricing is expressed as a general standard rather than a fixed rate card. Custom scopes, unusually complex work, and requests that turn out to differ materially from the information provided at intake may be quoted or requoted accordingly. We tell you before work begins, not after.

Timelines are established individually with each client and recorded in the Statement of Work. This site does not publish fixed delivery times. Timelines depend on scope, add-ons, and the timely receipt of client materials.

07 No engagement or confidential relationship formed by this site

Browsing this site, submitting the intake or review form, sending an email, or booking a call does not create a consulting engagement and does not by itself create any confidentiality obligation.

Please send only a general description of your business and your question through this website. Hold anything proprietary until a mutual non-disclosure agreement is signed. We are glad to put one in place before you share anything sensitive.

An engagement begins only when a Statement of Work is signed with ZKK Consulting LLC and the deposit is received. Where a signed Master Services Agreement, Statement of Work, or non-disclosure agreement is in place, those documents govern the engagement and control over anything on this page if they conflict.

08 Referral program terms

The referral program described on this site offers a discount on a future engagement to a person or company who introduces a new client to ZKK Consulting LLC. The core terms are:

• The 15% reward applies to one future package or item, not to an entire multi-item order.
• The reward activates only after the referred client's initial and final invoices are paid in full.
• The reward expires 12 months after issuance.
• Bundles receive a maximum referral discount of 10%, in place of the 15%.
• Rewards are not transferable, have no cash value, and may not be combined with another referral reward on the same item.
• The referral must be attributable to the referrer before the referred client's Statement of Work is signed.

ZKK Consulting LLC may modify or discontinue the program at any time. Rewards already issued remain valid through their stated expiration date. Full details are on the referral program page.

09 Third-party names, marks, and sources

Any reference to a third-party company, product, standard, database, patent, or agency is for identification and commentary only. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names are the property of their respective owners. Their use does not imply affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners, in either direction.

Logos, advisor names, and client names appear on this site only where the owner has agreed to their use.

This site links to third-party services including a form handler and a payment processor. ZKK Consulting LLC does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms.

10 Client feedback

Reviews published on this site are submitted by clients, verified against real engagements, and published with permission. They describe individual experiences. They are not a guarantee or prediction of results for any other engagement.

11 Website content, accuracy, and availability

Content on this site is provided as is and may be updated or changed at any time without notice. Pricing, package contents, availability, and timelines are subject to change and are confirmed in the Statement of Work for a given engagement. Reasonable care is taken with the accuracy of this site, but no warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose is given.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ZKK Consulting LLC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or the illustrative materials published on it. This does not limit any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, and it does not affect liability under a signed engagement agreement, which is addressed in that agreement.

12 Governing law

This website and these notices are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Venue and governing law for a specific engagement are set out in the signed engagement documents for that engagement.
