Welcome to the Universitas Scholarium (the “Platform”), operated by NEXAL Systems DAO LLC. The Platform uses artificial intelligence to generate reconstructions of historical and contemporary minds (“simulacra”) for educational, research, and creative purposes. By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.
The simulacra on this Platform are AI-generated reconstructions built from the published works, documented ideas, and historical record of the individuals they represent. They are not the individuals themselves. They do not know what those individuals think today. They cannot speak for them. They are computational models of how those minds worked, not oracles of what those minds would say.
Living persons represented on the Platform have not endorsed, approved, or authorised their simulacra. The simulacra are built from publicly available published work. They are tools for understanding an approach, a method, a way of seeing — not substitutes for the individuals they represent.
The Platform makes no claim that any simulacrum’s output is accurate, complete, or representative of the views of the individual it models. Users should verify all substantive claims against primary sources.
The Platform is intended for personal, educational, and research use. Users may purchase one-off exchange packs or monthly subscriptions to access the simulacra. Each exchange consists of one message sent and one response received.
Free (“Door”) tier users receive a limited number of exchanges to evaluate the Platform. Paid tiers provide additional exchanges as described on the pricing page.
The Platform, its design, its simulacrum baselines, and its underlying architecture are the intellectual property of NEXAL Systems DAO LLC and are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
The topology and construction methodology of the simulacrum baselines are proprietary trade secrets. Users agree not to attempt to extract, reverse-engineer, or reproduce the baseline files or their internal structure.
Conversations generated between users and simulacra belong to the user. Users are free to use, quote, and share their own conversations for any purpose, including academic publication, provided they cite the Platform appropriately (see the Academic Use & Citation Policy).
You agree not to use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the service. You agree not to attempt to bypass any security measures, extract simulacrum baselines, or interfere with the proper working of the Platform.
You agree not to use the Platform to generate content that is harmful, defamatory, or that misrepresents a simulacrum’s output as the actual words or opinions of the individual it models.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. One-off exchange packs do not expire. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled at any time via the account management page. Unused exchanges from a subscription period do not carry over to the next period.
Refunds are available within 14 days of purchase if fewer than 10% of purchased exchanges have been used. To request a refund, contact evanmillner@gmail.com.
The Platform collects your email address for sign-in purposes and stores your exchange history for conversation continuity. We use a single session cookie for authentication. We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies. Full details are available in the FAQ under “Does the Universitas Scholarium collect any data that requires my consent?”
Under GDPR, you have the right to request a copy of all data held about you and the right to request its deletion. Contact evanmillner@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
The Platform is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind. The simulacra are computational reconstructions, not authoritative sources. Their output may contain errors, anachronisms, or misrepresentations. NEXAL Systems DAO LLC makes no warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
The simulacra do not provide professional advice. They are not substitutes for qualified medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other professional counsel.
NEXAL Systems DAO LLC shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the use of the Platform. This includes, but is not limited to, any errors or omissions in the output of the simulacra, or any loss or damage arising from reliance on their output.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NEXAL Systems DAO LLC, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.
NEXAL Systems DAO LLC reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. The “last modified” date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Your continued use of the Platform after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
NEXAL Systems DAO LLC may terminate your access to the Platform at any time, without prior notice, for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms or any applicable law.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought in the courts of New Zealand, and you hereby consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
