Terms of Service

Use Hermion well.
We'll do the same.

Last updated: July 1, 2026 · Effective immediately
Applies to hermionai.xyz, the Chrome Extension, API, and MCP integration

By accessing or using Hermion in any form — web app, Chrome Extension, API, or MCP — you agree to these terms. If you are using Hermion on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms.

1. What Hermion Provides

Hermion is an interaction intelligence platform that models the structural dynamics of interactions using a proprietary intelligence framework. It extracts mathematical signals from interaction data and produces diagnostic intelligence — conversation state, resistance patterns, investment asymmetry, risk signals, and trajectory — without reading or storing the content of your messages.

Hermion is provided in the following forms:

  • Web App — free, WhatsApp export upload, on-device classification
  • Chrome Extension — Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp Web, on-device classification
  • API — REST endpoints for developers and applications
  • MCP — Model Context Protocol integration for AI agents
  • Hermion Pro — subscription tier with extended features

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Hermion. By using Hermion, you represent that you meet this requirement. Users in jurisdictions where data protection laws impose higher age thresholds must comply with those local requirements.

3. Acceptable Use

You may use Hermion to analyse interactions you are a party to, or for which you have the consent of all parties involved. You may not use Hermion to:

  • ×Analyse interactions without the knowledge or consent of other parties where required by law
  • ×Surveil, stalk, harass, or monitor individuals without their consent
  • ×Build products that facilitate non-consensual surveillance
  • ×Circumvent or attempt to circumvent rate limits or access controls
  • ×Reverse-engineer the Hermion intelligence engine, classifier, or signal extraction pipeline
  • ×Resell API or MCP access without an explicit reseller agreement
  • ×Use Hermion for any purpose that violates applicable law

4. Chrome Extension Specific Terms

The Hermion Chrome Extension operates by reading interaction content from supported web platforms — currently Gmail, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp Web — within your active browser tab. By installing and using the Extension, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • The Extension reads message content only from the tab you have actively opened. It does not access other tabs, your browser history, or any data outside the supported platform page you are currently viewing.
  • Signal extraction runs on-device within the Extension. Message text is processed locally and never transmitted. Only extracted signals leave your device.
  • You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Extension complies with the terms of service of the underlying platform (Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp Web). Hermion does not authorise any use that violates those platforms' terms.
  • You may only analyse interactions in which you are a participant. Using the Extension to analyse interactions between other parties — without being a party yourself — is prohibited.
  • The Extension does not auto-analyse. Classification runs only when you explicitly trigger it. No background data collection occurs.

The Extension is subject to Google's Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies in addition to these terms. In the event of a conflict between these terms and Chrome Web Store policies, Chrome Web Store policies prevail with respect to Extension distribution and browser behaviour.

5. API Access & Rate Limits

Access to the Hermion API requires an API key. API usage is subject to the following rate limits, which exist to ensure fair access and platform stability:

Free Tier
Requests per minute10 rpm
Requests per day100 req/day
Max signal payload500 signals per request
Concurrent requests1
StorageNone — stateless only
Hermion Pro
Requests per minute60 rpm
Requests per day2,000 req/day
Max signal payload3,000 signals per request
Concurrent requests5
StorageEncrypted signal storage enabled

Requests exceeding these limits will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. Sustained or automated abuse of rate limits may result in key suspension. Enterprise rate limits are available by arrangement — contact us at api@hermionai.xyz.

6. MCP Integration

The Hermion MCP integration allows AI agents — including Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, Codex, and compatible MCP clients — to query Hermion's interaction intelligence layer. MCP access is subject to the same rate limits as API access based on the associated account tier.

MCP tool calls expose the following capabilities:

  • hermion_analyze — run full diagnosis on a signal payload
  • hermion_get_state — retrieve current interaction state
  • hermion_detect_risks — surface active risk signals
  • hermion_recommend_move — return the rational next move based on current state

Agents using MCP are responsible for ensuring their use of Hermion intelligence complies with this agreement and applicable law. Hermion is not responsible for decisions made by AI agents based on Hermion output.

7. Hermion Pro Subscription

Hermion Pro is a paid subscription providing extended rate limits, encrypted signal storage, full topology, projection, and dashboard features. Subscription pricing and billing terms will be published at hermionai.xyz/pro prior to launch.

Pro subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time. Upon cancellation, Pro features remain active until the end of your billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods unless required by applicable consumer protection law.

8. Intellectual Property

The Hermion intelligence engine, signal classifier, and all associated algorithms and models are proprietary to Hermion. These terms do not grant you any rights to Hermion's intellectual property beyond what is necessary to use the platform as described.

You retain all rights to your interaction data. You grant Hermion a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your signals solely to provide the service. We do not claim ownership of your data.

9. Disclaimers

Hermion is provided "as is" during its Beta period. The intelligence output — including conversation state, risk signals, projection, and recommended moves — is diagnostic, not prescriptive. Hermion models interaction dynamics; it does not predict human behaviour with certainty.

You are responsible for decisions you make based on Hermion output. Hermion is not a licensed therapist, financial adviser, legal adviser, or relationship counsellor. Do not substitute Hermion intelligence for professional advice where such advice is warranted.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Hermion shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform, including but not limited to damages for lost profits, lost data, or relationship outcomes.

Our total liability to you for any claims arising under these terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to Hermion if you violate these terms, abuse the platform, or engage in conduct that harms other users or the integrity of the service. We will provide reasonable notice where possible.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at support@hermionai.xyz. Upon termination, your stored signal data will be deleted within 30 days.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, conducted in English.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as Hermion evolves — particularly as new distribution channels, API capabilities, and Pro features launch. We will notify users of material changes via the platform and, for Pro users, by email. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance.
