Who runs this. Under what rules. On what law.

§1Publisher (mentions légales)

In accordance with Article 6-III-1 of the French LCEN law (Loi pour la Confiance dans l'Économie Numérique, 21 June 2004):

§2Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel Inc., a US company.

§3Fictional concept

This entire site describes a service that does not exist. There is no portal infrastructure. There are no interdimensional crossings. There is no Pier C. The Meridian/9 Oversight Board is a fictional governance entity. Dr. Iris Vall is a fictional character. The 7 destinations are imaginary. The white paper, journal, glossary and pricing tiers are all part of the design study.

The site is a publicly available concept exercise, not commercial communication. Nothing on it constitutes an offer, a contract, financial advice, regulated information, or an invitation to invest, travel, or contract anything.

§4Intellectual property

All original content on the site — text, layout, design system, illustrations, source code — is the property of the publisher and is protected by French and international copyright (Code de la propriété intellectuelle, Berne Convention).

The exception is the brand kit. The following materials may be downloaded and reproduced under the usage rules published on the press kit page (clearspace, palette, no rotation, no recolouring):

• Wordmark variants (dark, light, stacked).
• The brand mark (the small portal circle).
• Colour palette HEX values.
• Typography references (the fonts themselves are licensed under their own open licences — see §6).

No other reuse, reproduction, redistribution, scraping, modification, or translation of the rest of the site is authorised without prior written permission.

§7No warranty & limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is", as a personal creative exercise. The publisher makes no guarantee of availability, accuracy, freshness, completeness, or fitness for any purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the publisher disclaims any liability for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use, inability to use, or reliance on any content of the site.

This clause does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded under French law (in particular, gross negligence and intentional fault).

§9Applicable law & jurisdiction

These terms are governed by French law.

Any dispute arising from the use of the site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the French courts, after a good-faith attempt at amicable resolution between the parties.
