SECTION 01.00 // LEGAL BINDING CONTRACT CO Art. 1

§ 01 Acceptance, Parties & Sovereign Swiss Jurisdiction

1.1. Contractual Scope. This legally binding agreement ("Agreement", "Charter") is entered into by and between Airecmark Intelligence AG, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Swiss Confederation with registered seat in Zürich (CHE-491.204.819, hereinafter "Airecmark"), and any legal person, enterprise entity, researcher, or automated agent system ("User", "Licensee") executing queries against, scraping, embedding, or consuming Airecmark’s benchmark indices, model telemetry data, or scoring interfaces.

1.2. Consent by Telemetry Execution. Under Article 1 et seq. of the Swiss Federal Code of Obligations (Obligationenrecht, SR 220), invoking any HTTP GET/POST endpoint, initializing a gRPC telemetry connection, or rendering Airecmark scoring assets constitutes unconditional acceptance of this Charter. If you act on behalf of a corporate model vendor (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta AI, Mistral), you represent and warrant that you hold statutory authority to bind said entity.

Statutory Reference Note (OR Art. 1 para. 2)
"Der Vertrag ist zustande gekommen, wenn die Parteien übereinstimmende gegenseitige Willenserklärungen ausgetauscht haben." Explicit digital invocation of API keys or public benchmark tables constitutes bilateral will under Zurich Commercial jurisprudence.
SECTION 02.00 // INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & DATA TIERING URG Art. 2

§ 02 Benchmark Index & Telemetry Intellectual Property

2.1. Database & Sui Generis Protection. The compilation of LLM evaluation vectors, deterministic latency traces, context window loss surfaces, and compute cost indices published via Airecmark constitutes protected intellectual creation under the Swiss Federal Act on Copyright and Neighboring Rights (Urheberrechtsgesetz, URG).

2.2. Bifurcated Licensing Architecture:

  • Open Research Tier (CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0): Aggregated public benchmark ranks, throughput metrics, and leaderboard snapshots may be cited in academic literature, peer-reviewed preprints, and non-commercial research repositories provided explicit provenance attribution is rendered.
  • Proprietary Telemetry & Micro-Traces (Commercial Reserve): Raw Firecracker microVM execution logs, per-token latency percentiles (p50/p90/p99), synthetic stress vectors, and programmatic streaming endpoints are strictly proprietary and require an active Enterprise Evaluation License.

SECTION 03.00 // THE CITATION MANDATE RFC-88 SPEC

§ 03 Fair Citation, Media & Vendor Attribution Rules

3.1. The Airecmark Citation Mandate. Any model developer, research laboratory, or media outlet citing Airecmark benchmark scores in marketing collateral, investor pitch decks, social media statements, or technical blog posts MUST adhere to deterministic transparency requirements:

Mandatory Field 01
Evaluation Snapshot Date
Must state the exact ISO-8601 evaluation timestamp (e.g., 2026-10-14T09:30Z).
Mandatory Field 02
Merkle Verification Hash
Full or 12-char truncated SHA-256 commit hash of the benchmark run cluster.
Mandatory Field 03
Batch & Temperature Hyperparameters
Declared temperature, top_p, and context length used during evaluation.
Mandatory Field 04
Relative Cluster Positioning
Cherry-picking single sub-evaluations without publishing the full composite score is prohibited.

3.2. Automated License Verification Verification Endpoint. Model vendors may verify their attribution compliance and obtain a verifiable badge using our public verification endpoint:

BASH // CURL CITATION VERIFICATION 200 OK STATUS
curl -X GET "https://api.airecmark.ch/v1/license/verify?hash=0x9f4a82b1c8&vendor=anthropic" \

SECTION 04.00 // BENCHMARK GAMING & ANTI-SYBIL StGB Art. 143

§ 04 Anti-Manipulation, Sybil & Benchmark Gaming Penalties

4.1. Prohibited Activities. Users and vendors are strictly enjoined from engaging in any behavior calculated to artificially manipulate, pollute, or game Airecmark deterministic testing pipelines:

  • Prompt Memorization & Canary Infiltration: Training model weights against Airecmark test datasets identified with cryptographic canary strings (e.g., airecmark-canary-uuid4-2026).
  • Model Weight Swapping: Dynamically serving quantized or alternative high-tier weights exclusively when requests originate from known Airecmark test runner ASN IP blocks.
  • Distributed Denial & Sybil Voting: Flooding community review clusters or Firecracker microVM testrunners with synthetic telemetry or automated vote farming.
warning Liquidated Damages Under Swiss Law

Violation of Section 4.1 triggers an automatic statutory penalty of CHF 100,000 per identified infraction, alongside immediate revocation of all commercial API keys and mandatory publication of the fraudulent run in the public Airecmark Disqualification Register.

SECTION 05.00 // SCRAPING SLAS & API QUOTAS INGRESS LIMITS

§ 05 Programmatic API Quotas & Acceptable Scraping Limits

5.1. Statutory Ingress Matrix. Automated scrapers, spiders, and programmatic client libraries must respect the following deterministic access boundaries:

Tier Class Rate Quota Allowed Protocol Commercial Use Violation Handling
Public Anonymous 60 req / min REST HTTP/2 Prohibited 429 HTTP + 24h IP Jail
Academic Research 300 req / min REST / GraphQL Attribution Required Token Throttle
Enterprise Dedicated 10,000+ req / min gRPC / Kafka Stream Custom SLA Escalation

All scrapers must declare an informative User-Agent string containing contact email and entity identity. Anonymous scrapers disguising headers to bypass cloudflare ingress will be summarily blacklisted.

SECTION 06.00 // COMMERCIAL EMBEDS & AFFILIATIONS FIREWALL GUARANTEE

§ 06 Commercial Licensing, Enterprise Embeds & White-Labeling

6.1. Neutrality Firewall (Zero Paid Positioning). Airecmark adheres to an immutable engineering firewall: commercial sponsorships, affiliate referral integrations (including PartnerStack links), or enterprise data feed subscriptions SHALL NEVER influence, alter, reweight, or inflate any model’s benchmark score, Elo rating, or comparative ranking position.

6.2. Cryptographic Badge Embeds. White-labeled benchmark badges displayed on third-party documentation pages must utilize Airecmark’s official signed SVG web components with cryptographic hash parameters. Static or unlinked score representations are prohibited without prior written commercial consent.

SECTION 07.00 // LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CO Art. 100

§ 07 Disclaimer of Warranties & Empirical Liability Cap

7.1. "As-Is" Empirical Telemetry. AI benchmark scores reflect point-in-time, deterministic automated executions inside standardized Firecracker microVM isolated runners. Performance characteristics (tokens per second, latency distributions, output hallucinations) can vary based on inference hosting conditions, model weight quantizations, and cloud regional load. Airecmark disclaims all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular algorithmic purpose, or continuous operational availability.

7.2. Statutory Cap Under Swiss Law (CO Art. 100). To the fullest extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law, Airecmark’s aggregate financial liability for any claim arising under this Charter shall be strictly capped at the total amount paid by Licensee to Airecmark in the three (3) calendar months preceding the actionable event, or CHF 500, whichever is lesser. In no event shall Airecmark be liable for lost inference profits, indirect damages, or synthetic hallucination liabilities.

SECTION 08.00 // DISPUTE RESOLUTION & JURISDICTION SWISS ZPO

§ 08 Swiss Dispute Resolution & Zurich Commercial Arbitration

8.1. Substantive Swiss Law. This Charter and all disputes arising out of or related to benchmark data, API queries, or intellectual property rights shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of Switzerland, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

8.2. Jurisdiction Venue. All disputes shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of the Canton of Zurich (Handelsgericht des Kantons Zürich). Airecmark reserves the right to initiate legal proceedings against Users before courts of their domicile or sovereign jurisdiction.
