A defined technical engagement.

Supplier and notices

Connector Readiness Lab is a trading style used by an independent sole proprietor operating from South Africa. Enquiries, privacy requests, complaints and legal notices may be sent to tebogokolodi2323@gmail.com.

The full legal identity, physical contracting address, service address and invoice particulars are disclosed in the written transaction record before acceptance or payment. If applicable law requires earlier or additional disclosure, that requirement prevails.

The US$495 standard scope

US$495 is the standard fee for one remote MCP readiness review: one named connector or marketplace path; up to two named client or fallback paths; up to 20 agreed cases; a dated report, requirements matrix and evidence index; fix acceptance checks; and one agreed re-test within 30 days. The exact target, versions, identity, permissions, environment, cases and exclusions appear in the engagement schedule.

The fee is not a promise that every target is suitable. A different or unsafe scope requires a revised written quote. Implementation, penetration testing, legal or compliance certification, marketplace submission, continuous monitoring, and guaranteed approval are excluded.

Agreement, price and payment

• The enquiry and initial fit assessment are free.
• The standard payment schedule is US$247.50 after written acceptance and US$247.50 on delivery.
• Payment is requested only through a genuine PayPal goods-and-services invoice. No payment is collected on this site.
• The delivery target begins after the accepted schedule, cleared first payment and agreed safe access are all ready.
• No additional work or fee is authorized by silence. Changed scope requires written approval.
• Tax treatment and invoice currency are confirmed in the transaction record; no VAT is represented as charged unless the invoice lawfully states it.

Buyer responsibilities and authorization

The buyer must have authority to engage us and authorize every target, account, endpoint, identity and test. The buyer supplies accurate versions, safe test access, permitted windows, named contacts and stop conditions. No third-party system is tested merely because it is public. Testing stops if authority is disputed, the boundary is unclear, unexpected sensitive data appears, or material production impact is possible.

The detailed rules are in the engagement and authorization framework.

Confidentiality

Each party must use the other’s confidential information only for the engagement, protect it with reasonable care, and disclose it only to people or service providers who need it and are bound to protect it. Information already public, independently developed, lawfully received from another source, or required to be disclosed by law is excluded. A separate mutual NDA can be signed before detailed private architecture or access information is shared.

Intellectual property

After full payment, the buyer may use, copy and share the final report and buyer-specific findings for its internal business and the named submission path. The buyer keeps ownership of its systems, data and materials. Connector Readiness Lab retains its pre-existing methods, templates, taxonomies, tools and general know-how. Customer names, private findings, raw evidence and identifiable test data are not published, sold, or added to public profiles without separate written permission.

Quality, correction and re-test

The service is performed with reasonable care and skill and is limited to the accepted snapshot. A material omission from the accepted scope reported within five business days will be corrected without an extra fee. One agreed re-test is included within 30 days; new versions, identities, clients, requirements or boundaries are new scope.

No warranty is given that a platform will accept a submission, that an integration is universally compatible, secure or defect-free, or that a result remains current after the recorded test window.

Cancellation and refunds

Mandatory rights under applicable consumer and electronic-transactions law always prevail. Before work begins, a buyer may cancel and receive amounts paid less only lawful, reasonable and actually applicable charges. After work begins, completed authorized work and unavoidable committed costs may be charged, with the unused balance refunded. If the engagement resulted from direct marketing or qualifies for a statutory cooling-off right, the buyer may exercise that right within the applicable period without losing any non-waivable protection.

If we cancel because we cannot safely or lawfully perform the agreed work, the unused amount is refunded. Payment-provider disputes do not replace the written complaints process.

Liability boundary

Testing can identify observations only within the accepted cases and environment. To the maximum extent lawful, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss. Our aggregate contractual liability is intended to be limited to the fees paid for the affected engagement. This limit does not apply where law prohibits it, including liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, or to fraud, wilful misconduct or misuse of confidential information. A South African attorney should review enforceability before material customer volume.

Brand and independence

“MCP” and “Model Context Protocol” are used descriptively to identify the protocol being reviewed. Connector Readiness Lab is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or presented as the protocol owner, a certification authority, or a marketplace. Third-party names and marks remain their owners’ property. A formal South African and target-market trademark clearance remains required before expanding or registering the brand.

Law and disputes

The engagement schedule is intended to be governed by South African law, subject to mandatory consumer rights and any jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be excluded. A complaint should first be sent to the notice email so the parties can try to resolve it in writing. Nothing removes a person’s right to approach a regulator, consumer body or court with jurisdiction.
