Description of Services
ChemeNova provides AI-driven specialty chemical formulation intelligence software. Our core Service, IntelliForm™, enables users to:
- Submit natural-language or structured formulation briefs describing desired chemical blend performance, industry vertical, and certification requirements
- Receive AI-generated formulation recommendations from a 5-model AI council using Bayesian Gaussian Process optimization, NSGA-III multi-objective optimization, and QSAR molecular modeling
- Access carbon footprint assessments (ISO 14067), ecotoxicity pre-screening (ChemBERTa), and regulatory compliance pre-screening for up to 8 certification standards including COSMOS, NATRUE, ECOCERT, and ICH Q8
- Request pilot batch manufacturing through our ChemRich Global manufacturing partnership
- Access research publications, open-source code, and technical documentation
IntelliForm Outputs are formulation intelligence tools for professional chemists and industry experts — not final certified product specifications, regulatory submissions, or safety determinations. All Outputs must be validated by qualified professionals before commercial use. See Section 11 for full disclaimer.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Services at any time with reasonable notice. We will not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.

IntelliForm™ Specific Terms
Nature of Outputs
IntelliForm Outputs are AI-generated formulation recommendations based on computational modeling, published chemical databases (PubChem, ChEMBL, ECOTOX), and our proprietary QSAR and optimization models. Outputs are provided for professional informational and research purposes only and do not constitute:
- Final certified product specifications, regulatory submissions, or safety certifications
- Legal, regulatory, or compliance advice for any specific jurisdiction
- Medical, pharmaceutical, food safety, or toxicological opinions
- Guarantees of commercial performance, stability, or efficacy of any formulated product
Your Formulation Data
- You retain ownership of formulation briefs and inputs you submit to IntelliForm
- By submitting inputs, you grant ChemeNova a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process your inputs for the sole purpose of generating Outputs for you
- You represent and warrant that your formulation inputs do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
- You are responsible for ensuring that your use of IntelliForm Outputs complies with applicable laws, including chemical regulations in your jurisdiction
Pilot Batch Requests
- Submitting a pilot batch manufacturing request through IntelliForm routes your request to ChemRich Global for commercial fulfillment
- Pilot batch manufacturing is governed by a separate agreement between you and ChemRich Global / Snow White Products, Inc.
- ChemeNova's no-cost reformulation guarantee applies to reformulation of the IntelliForm-generated blend for the same performance targets — it does not cover raw material costs, lab fees charged by ChemRich, or regulatory submission costs
Rate Limits & Fair Use
- Free access is subject to session limits, which may be updated at our discretion with notice
- Automated access, API polling, or scripted batch use of the free interface without an Enterprise Agreement is prohibited

Manufacturing Services
ChemeNova operates as a technology and formulation intelligence company. Pilot batch manufacturing services (50–200 kg batches, NJ/NY/PA) are provided by ChemRich Global, a division of Snow White Products, Inc., as an independent manufacturing partner.
- ChemeNova's role in manufacturing is limited to formulation intelligence generation and referral of your request to ChemRich Global
- ChemRich Global's manufacturing, pricing, quality, delivery, and warranty terms are governed by a separate agreement between you and ChemRich Global
- ChemeNova makes no warranties regarding the manufacturing services performed by ChemRich Global
- The no-cost reformulation guarantee offered through ChemeNova applies to generating a revised IntelliForm formulation if a ChemRich pilot batch fails to meet the agreed certification criteria — it does not alter the manufacturing contract between you and ChemRich Global
- You are responsible for obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals, safety data sheets, and compliance documentation for any manufactured products in your jurisdiction
Payment & Subscriptions
Free access to IntelliForm is provided at no charge, subject to session limits. Enterprise API access and other paid features, if offered, are subject to the following terms:

- Failure to pay amounts owed may result in suspension or termination of access
Manufacturing pilot batch payments are made directly to ChemRich Global and are not ChemeNova transactions. ChemeNova does not collect or process payments for manufacturing services.
