Terms of use
This document covers use of the site llmoptimizationfrance.com and the lever-case contact channel of Levertrace Lab. The site is informational: it publishes research notes on which optimisation levers appear to change how large language models describe French businesses. The lab sells no visibility services, no advertising and no brand diagnostics.
1. Use of the site
What is published on llmoptimizationfrance.com reflects, in good faith, the lab's observations at the time of publication. Each note describes a before-and-after lever test under stated conditions — it is not legal, regulatory or commercial advice, and it is not a verdict on any company, source or model. Decisions you base on the site's content remain at your own risk.
Industrial harvesting of the site's content is not permitted, nor is republishing long extracts without attribution. Linking and quoting with a stated source is, as a rule, fine.
2. Lever-case form
Sending a lever case is not an offer, a contract or a promise from either side. It is simply a structured way to share a business type, the optimisation change you made, the sources that changed and the model wording before and after. Levertrace Lab reads a case when the source trail is public enough to allow a before-and-after reading. The submission on its own creates no right to a particular reply, a response time or a piece of research.
A case may be set aside if its subject falls outside the lab's scope, if current capacity does not allow it, or if there is too little public evidence to compare. Setting a case aside is not a judgement on your business.
3. Liability
For use of the site, liability is limited to the fullest extent the applicable law allows. The lab's materials describe how optimisation levers appear in model wording, which turns on factors no one fully controls: model updates, third-party source policy, browsing access, source crawling delays, regional settings and time. No guarantee is given that any lever will move how a model names, echoes, conflicts over or omits a business. Liability is not excluded for wilful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence, or any other case the law does not allow to be excluded.
4. Applicable law and jurisdiction
French law applies, with jurisdiction of the courts at the operator's place of residence, unless consumer-protection legislation imposes a different jurisdiction in the user's favour.
5. Changes to these terms
These terms are revised as the working model evolves. The "Updated" date at the top marks the version in force. Changes that concern only the site are reflected here.
