Terms & Disclaimer

Last updated: January 2026

This website is not a standard corporate blog. It is a collection of field notes, observations, and professional opinions derived from my career in supply chain management. By accessing this site, you agree to the following terms.

1. No Professional Advice (The “Use Your Brain” Clause)

The content provided in the “Audit Diaries” and other articles is for informational purposes only. It represents my personal observations and professional experience.

  • Not Legal/Financial Advice: Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, or investment advice.
  • Context Matters: Supply chain solutions are highly context-dependent. What works for a German automotive supplier may destroy a consumer electronics startup.
  • Your Responsibility: I am not liable for any business decisions, losses, or damages you incur based on the information provided here. You are responsible for your own due diligence.

2. No Client Relationship

Reading this website, subscribing to the newsletter, or sending an email does not create a consultant-client relationship.

A professional relationship is established only after a formal engagement letter is signed and a retainer is paid. Until then, you are a reader, not a client.

3. Intellectual Property

The insights, methodologies, and frameworks (e.g., “Supply Chain Minimalist” concepts) shared here are my intellectual property.

  • You may: Share links to my articles with proper attribution.
  • You may not: Copy, reproduce, or republish full articles or reports without my comprehensive written consent.
  • Plagiarism: I take the protection of my work seriously. If you use my content for your commercial training or consulting materials without license, I will take action.

4. The “Inner Circle” & Communications

I reserve the right to curate my community.

  • Inquiries: I ignore generic, mass-mailed inquiries. See the Work With Me page for protocol.
  • Comments/Interaction: I maintain a zero-tolerance policy for spam or unprofessional conduct in any public channels associated with this brand.

5. Governing Law

Any disputes arising from the use of this website shall be governed by the laws of [Your Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Proceed with caution. Verify everything.
