Terms of Use & Limits of Liability

iAlacarte is a technological infrastructure for the semantic and nutritional processing of menus. Analyses, computations (Kcal, macronutrients, glycemic indices) and food-and-wine pairing suggestions are provided strictly for informational and educational purposes.

Data generated by the assistant in no case constitutes medical advice, a clinical diagnosis, a personalized dietary prescription or an absolute safety guarantee regarding the actual composition of the dishes served.

The user expressly acknowledges that technologies based on Artificial Intelligence and language analysis models, although anchored in the iAlacarte platform on strict institutional databases — ANSES/CIQUAL, FAO/INFOODS, USDA FoodData Central, RecipeNLG — carry a residual risk of interpretation, omission or semantic error commonly known as “hallucination”.

The publisher of the iAlacarte platform makes all reasonable efforts to minimize this risk (deterministic intelligent-analysis architecture anchored to the actual menu, safety guardrails, multi-source cross-checking). However, the publisher cannot be held liable for inaccuracies, omissions, approximations or decisions made by the user or the consumer on the basis of the AI Maitre d'Hotel responses.

Automatic detection of ingredients, allergens and nutritional values is performed on the basis of the menu provided by the venue (PDF, photos, recipe sheets) and industry culinary standards. However, the head chef remains sovereign in the kitchen.

Occasional discrepancies may occur: last-minute ingredient substitution, change of supplier, stock shortage, addition of spices, binders or cooking auxiliaries not mentioned on the original menu, seasonal variations, or cross-contamination in the kitchen.

The end consumer is the sole judge of the severity of their dietary constraints. In case of severe food allergy, serious medical condition (anaphylaxis, celiac disease, kidney failure, insulin-dependent diabetes, etc.) or any other vital dietary requirement, the consumer has a mandatory, non-negotiable obligation.

Absent this direct disclosure to staff, neither the publisher of iAlacarte nor the partner venue can be held responsible for any health consequences.
