Operator. This website and related services are operated by Sharmarke Mohamud, professionally known as Marké, doing business as MARKÉ Consulting Group (“MCG,” “Marké,” “we,” “us,” or “Operator”). References to “Marké” mean the individual operator and MCG as a trade name, not a separate registered entity unless stated in a signed written agreement.
Not legal advice. Not a law firm. Nothing on this site creates an attorney–client relationship, provides legal advice, or guarantees academic, admission, career, or commercial outcomes. You are solely responsible for your decisions and results.

MCG offers selective advising, educational materials, brand/media intensives (e.g. MarkTernship), and related consulting. Acceptance is discretionary and not guaranteed. Scope, fees, deliverables, and timelines are confirmed only in a written confirmation, invoice, NDA, or agreement issued by Operator.

2.3 No professional licenses implied

Fees are as stated at checkout or in writing. Digital materials are generally non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law. Retainers and programs may have separate written refund or termination terms. Active client capacity may be limited; Operator may decline or end engagements that exceed capacity or violate these Terms.

2.6 Intellectual property

Site content, frameworks, outlines, branding, copy, and materials are owned by Sharmarke Mohamud / MARKÉ Consulting Group or licensors. Purchase grants a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license for your own use only. You may not resell, republish, share publicly, reverse engineer for competing products, or claim authorship of MCG materials without prior written consent.

2.7 Name, likeness & brand

The names “Marké,” “MARKÉ Consulting Group,” “MarkTernship,” “CiteSafe,” and the name and likeness of Sharmarke Mohamud are protected. You may not use them to imply endorsement, partnership, or employment without written permission.

Non-public client discussions and materials are treated as confidential by Operator, except: (a) information already public; (b) disclosure required by law; (c) disclosure to service providers under confidentiality; (d) as needed to enforce rights or defend claims. You agree not to publicly disclose proprietary MCG methods without permission. Separate NDAs control when signed.

2.9 Third-party links & tools

Stripe, form providers, social platforms, and other third parties have their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services. Brand names mentioned for identification are property of their owners; no affiliation is claimed unless stated in writing.

2.10 Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPERATOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR THAT RESULTS WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

2.11 Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHARMARKE MOHAMUD, MARKÉ, AND MCG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS; LOST DATA; LOST OPPORTUNITY; ACADEMIC SANCTIONS; OR REPUTATIONAL HARM, ARISING FROM THE SITE OR SERVICES—EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OPERATOR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SITE OR SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO MCG FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) IF YOU PAID NOTHING.

2.12 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sharmarke Mohamud, Marké, MCG, and their agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of the site or services; (b) your content or materials; (c) your violation of these Terms or law; (d) your academic, professional, or commercial decisions.

2.13 Termination

We may refuse service, remove access, or terminate engagement for abuse, non-payment, dishonesty, or material breach. Provisions that by nature should survive (IP, liability limits, indemnity, confidentiality) survive termination.

2.14 Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Exclusive venue for disputes shall be state or federal courts located in Virginia, unless Operator elects another forum permitted by law. You waive jury trial to the extent permitted. Optional good-faith negotiation for 30 days before filing is encouraged.

2.15 Changes

We may update this page. The “Last updated” date will change. Continued use after posting constitutes acceptance of the updated version for future use. Material changes to paid engagements already under a signed writing are governed by that writing unless you agree otherwise.

2.16 Severability & entire agreement

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. These Terms plus any signed written agreement or invoice terms constitute the entire agreement regarding the site and general use; a signed client agreement controls over this page for that engagement if there is a conflict.

2.17 No waiver

Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
