1. Definitions

• "Service" refers to the NovoMCP platform, including all tools, APIs, resources, MCP Apps, and enterprise connectors accessible at ai.novomcp.com.
• "User" refers to any individual or entity that accesses or uses the Service.
• "Organization" refers to the entity under which one or more Users are grouped for billing and access control.
• "API Key" refers to the unique authentication credential (prefixed nmcp_) issued to a User.
• "Credit" refers to the unit of value used to measure Service usage, where 1 credit = $1.00 USD.
• "Tools" refers to the molecular intelligence functions exposed via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the Organization you represent.

The Service is currently invite-only. Access is granted at our sole discretion through admin-issued API keys.

3. Accounts and API Keys

3.1 Account Creation

Accounts are created by NovoMCP administrators. Each User receives an API key associated with an Organization. You are responsible for providing accurate account information.

3.2 API Key Security

Your API key is confidential. You are responsible for:

• Keeping your API key secure and not sharing it with unauthorized parties
• All activity that occurs under your API key
• Notifying us immediately at ari@novoquantnexus.com if you suspect unauthorized use

3.3 Key Revocation

We reserve the right to revoke any API key at any time for violation of these Terms, suspected abuse, or for any other reason at our discretion.

4. Subscription Tiers and Credits

4.1 Tiers

The Service is offered across four subscription tiers, each with different tool access, credit allotments, and rate limits:

4.2 Credits

Each tool invocation consumes a defined number of credits based on its computational complexity. Credit costs range from 0 (status checks) to 100 (GPU-intensive structure prediction). The current credit menu is available in our documentation.

4.3 Credit Renewal

Included credits renew automatically on the 1st of each calendar month. Unused credits do not roll over. For paid tiers, usage beyond included credits incurs overage charges at the applicable rate. Free tier Users are blocked when credits are exhausted.

4.4 Shadow Billing

During the beta period, credit usage is tracked but not charged. Users can view their usage and the value they are receiving. We reserve the right to begin charging for usage upon reasonable advance notice.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You shall not:

• Use the Service to design, synthesize, or facilitate the production of controlled substances, chemical weapons, or any substance intended to cause harm
• Circumvent rate limits, authentication, or access controls
• Share, resell, or sublicense your API key or access to the Service
• Use automated scripts to excessively or abusively call the Service beyond your tier limits
