Version 1.0 — in force since 1 November 2026.
These terms apply from their entry into force and do not operate retroactively.
The French version prevails. This translation is provided for information and is not a separate legal instrument.
Preamble
These terms of use (the “Terms”) govern access to the measurement service available at mcp.neomundi.org (the “Service”), published by Neomundi Recherche.
The Service is made available free of charge, on authorisation, and as part of a scientific qualification programme. It is not a commercial product, and nothing here is to be read as an offer of professional services.
Being free and scientific removes neither the Publisher’s obligations nor all liability.
Article 1 — Publisher
Neomundi Recherche, an association governed by the French law of 1 July 1901 RNA number: W563015824 Registered office: 29 rue Tronchet, 75008 Paris, France Publication director: Sébastien FAVRE Contact: form at https://neomundi.org/contact
Hosting of the Service: Infomaniak Network SA, Rue Eugène-Marziano 25, 1227 Les Acacias (GE), Switzerland.
Article 2 — Purpose
These Terms set out the conditions under which the Publisher makes the Service available to an authorised Participant, and the resulting mutual obligations.
The Service transmits an already-performed AI execution — or a generation to be observed — to a measurement infrastructure, and returns measured signals together with their metrological context.
Article 3 — Definitions
“Participant”: a person or organisation expressly authorised by the Publisher to access the Service as part of a pilot.
“Connector”: the software component exposing the Service over the MCP protocol. It computes no signal.
“Measurement instrument”: the infrastructure that produces the signals. It is distinct from the Connector and is not published by these Terms.
“Submitted content”: the prompt, the observed system’s response, context excerpts and documents transmitted by the Participant.
“Signal”: an indicator produced by the measurement instrument.
“Measurement”: the set of signals and metadata returned for one submission.
“Measurement version”: a version identifier attached to a Measurement, determining its comparability with other Measurements.
Article 4 — Scope and acceptance
These Terms apply to any access to the Service.
Access requires the Publisher’s prior authorisation. There is no open sign-up and no self-service account creation.
Acceptance of these Terms is collected by an explicit written act, prior to the issuing of access.
The Participant declares in writing that it accepts a specific version of these Terms, identified by its version number and by the SHA-256 fingerprint of its text. The Publisher records that acceptance — signatory identity, date, version and fingerprint accepted, acceptance method — and issues the access credential only afterwards.
Neither silence, nor absence of reply, nor mere use of the Service constitutes acceptance.
A substantial change to these Terms calls for a fresh acceptance: the earlier acceptance covered a different text, and its fingerprint evidences that.
Where these Terms conflict with a signed participation agreement, the latter prevails.
Article 5 — Intended audience
The Service is intended for researchers, institutions, organisations and professionals taking part in a pilot authorised by the Publisher.
Since access is issued only on prior authorisation and after written acceptance, no access opens by merely viewing the Service or its public listing.
Article 6 — Access and credentials
Access is granted by the Publisher in the form of a technical credential.
The Participant is responsible for keeping that credential confidential and for any use made of it, and informs the Publisher without delay of any suspected disclosure.
A limitation stated plainly. At this stage the Service does not individualise access: it can neither attribute a call to a particular Participant nor suspend one Participant in isolation. Suspension is therefore necessarily collective (Article 13). This limitation is technical, known, and must not be presented otherwise.
Article 7 — Description of the Service
The Service exposes a single tool, allowing an execution to be submitted and a Measurement returned.
What the Service does not do — to be read as a limitation, not as a forthcoming feature:
- it computes no signal: the Connector transmits and returns;
- it retains no Measurement and offers no history: each submission is independent;
- it produces no export, no report, no longitudinal tracking;
- it offers no plan, no tier and no contractual quota.
The Publisher does not warrant the future availability of any feature, whether in production or not.
Article 8 — Nature of measurements and results
Results are observations and contextualised signals relative to a defined protocol. They in no case constitute a certification, a verdict, an approval, or a warranty of compliance, security, stability, factuality or lawfulness of the observed system.
The Service does not warrant that an observed system is accurate in all circumstances, free from bias, stable over time, compliant with any regulation, or suitable to ground a high-impact decision.
A measurement is not an execution permission.
8.1 Measured, unmeasured, degraded, unavailable
The Service explicitly distinguishes a measured signal from an unmeasured one, and names the cause of each non-measurement. A decision reached without any check having been performed is flagged as such.
An absence of measurement is never presented as a favourable result.
8.2 Comparability
Each Measurement is tied to a measurement version. Two Measurements produced under diverging versions are not comparable, and the Service says so. The Participant refrains from building a series or a trend from Measurements that are not comparable.
8.3 Unmodelled fields
The Service may return fields it does not model. These are named as such, and are neither interpreted nor discarded.
8.4 Evolving methods
Calculation methods, thresholds and protocols may change. A change affecting comparability is reflected in the measurement version.
Article 9 — Participant responsibilities
The Participant is solely responsible for:
- the AI system it submits for observation;
- the right to transmit the submitted content, including where it contains third-party data;
- the legal basis for any processing of personal data involved;
- submitting only what is necessary for the measurement;
- any decision, action or omission based on a Measurement;
- effective human oversight of the systems it operates;
- how it cites or publishes a Measurement (Article 11);
- respecting third-party rights and any sector-specific requirements.
The Service verifies none of these technically. These obligations rest on the Participant’s own declaration, and the Publisher has no means of checking compliance.
Article 10 — Submitted content, transmission and retention
10.1 What the Participant warrants
The Participant warrants that it holds the rights and authorisations required to transmit the submitted content, and undertakes to include only data strictly necessary for its use case.
10.2 What the Service does with it
Submitted content is transmitted to the measurement infrastructure in order to be measured. This transmission is inherent to measuring: a response cannot be measured for coherence without being read.
The Connector retains nothing: it writes no file, logs no content and records no IP address.
Downstream:
- the prompt is never retained — only its length is;
- excerpts of the response may be retained, copied verbatim, when factuality analysis exceeds a threshold: up to five short excerpts are then stored alongside the Measurement.
Processing takes place in Switzerland, with the host named in Article 1, which also provides one of the analysis models. The other analyses run on the Publisher’s own servers.
10.3 Sensitive data
The Participant must not transmit identifying health data, professional secrets, banking, biometric or criminal-offence data, data concerning minors, classified data, or data subject to any specific sector obligation.
No technical control enforces this prohibition: it is declarative. It may be lifted by a specific written agreement and a suitable architecture.
Article 11 — Use and publication of results
The Participant may use Measurements for its own purposes and for its scientific publications.
Any publication of a Measurement:
- must not present it as a certification or a warranty of compliance;
- must state the measurement version and the declared limitations, including unmeasured signals;
- must not present as comparable Measurements that are not.
Conditions for publishing a dataset arising from a pilot are set by the participation agreement. Taking part in a pilot does not, in itself, authorise publication of its dataset.
Article 12 — Prohibited uses
The following are prohibited in particular: any unlawful use; any unauthorised access to the Publisher’s systems; any deliberate overloading of the infrastructure; introducing malicious software; attempting to extract the code or reverse-engineer it; falsifying a Measurement or any traceability object; sharing the access credential with an unauthorised third party; presenting a Measurement as a certification; reselling or making the Service available to a third party.
Article 13 — Availability, suspension and discontinuation
No service level is guaranteed. The Service is provided as is, as part of a scientific qualification programme, and may be interrupted, modified or discontinued at any time, including without notice.
The Publisher may suspend access in the event of a security risk, unlawful use, harm to the infrastructure, breach of these Terms, or an order from a competent authority.
Given the limitation stated in Article 6, a suspension is liable to affect all Participants.
Article 14 — Intellectual property
The Publisher acquires no right over the submitted content, which remains the property of the Participant or of the third parties concerned.
The Participant grants the Publisher, for the time strictly necessary to perform the measurement, the right to transmit, process and return the submitted content. This licence confers no right of commercial exploitation and no improvement use.
The measurement instrument, the Connector, the “NeoMundi” mark and the documentation remain the property of their respective holders. The Publisher exploits them under a non-exclusive licence, without transfer of ownership. These Terms effect no assignment and grant the Participant no right over those elements.
Third-party components remain governed by their respective licences.
Article 15 — Liability
The Service is provided as is, without warranty of accuracy, availability or fitness for a particular purpose.
The Participant remains solely responsible for its content, its decisions and its use of Measurements.
The Publisher shall not be liable for indirect damage, nor for a decision taken on the basis of a Measurement in contradiction with the limitations set out in Article 8.
Nothing above limits the Publisher’s liability in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct, nor where the law forbids such limitation. Absent any contrary stipulation, the parties’ liability is governed by the general law.
Article 16 — Data protection
The processing of personal data is described in the Publisher’s privacy policy, reachable from https://neomundi.org.
The verified elements specific to the Service are set out in Article 10: the prompt is not retained, excerpts of the response may be, the Connector retains nothing, and processing takes place in Switzerland.
A Participant wishing to exercise their rights, or to obtain details about a processing operation, contacts the Publisher through the contact form named in Article 1.
Article 17 — Changes to these Terms
The Publisher may amend these Terms.
Each version is identified by a version number and by the SHA-256 fingerprint of its text. A substantial change calls for a fresh acceptance under Article 4: an acceptance in force covers a determined text and remains attached to it until a fresh acceptance is collected.
A Participant who does not accept a new version ceases to use the Service, without penalty.
Article 18 — Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by French law.
Failing amicable resolution, disputes fall to the competent French courts, subject to applicable mandatory rules.
