hey there. these terms are the agreement between you and us about how you can use what we make. we've kept them readable and short — but they're still a legal document. grab a coffee, it won't take long.
we're thesmallmediacompany s.r.l., an italian company in milan (via martiri oscuri 16, 20125 — vat IT13876460968). we make content, ai experiences, and tools to help people realign with themselves.
these terms cover our website, our content (books, podcasts, videos, articles), the "talk to the creator" ai voice, and our newsletter. by using any of them, you agree to these terms. if you're outside the eu, your local laws may give you extra rights — we respect those too.
you must be at least 18. our work is made for adults. if you're younger, come back when you're older — we'll still be here.
everything we create is protected by copyright. "thesmallmediacompany" and our logo are our trademarks.
read, watch, and listen for personal use; share links to our content; quote small portions with attribution; use our tools as intended; learn, grow, transform.
copy, reproduce, sell, or redistribute our content; create derivative works without permission; remove copyright notices; use our content to train ai models; impersonate us or our ai; or create misleading deepfakes from our materials.
if you send us a message, feedback, or an idea: you keep ownership, and you give us permission to use it to run and improve what we do. ideas you share voluntarily aren't confidential — we might independently build something similar — but we always appreciate the input. please don't send sensitive personal information.
it's an ai — the creator's voice, cloned, not the creator live. it's built to reflect you back to yourself. a few honest limits: it's not a therapist, doctor, or lawyer, it's not a replacement for professional help, and it's not infallible (it can be wrong). use it for reflection and exploration, not for critical decisions. don't try to break it, don't use it for anything illegal, and don't share other people's personal information in it. conversations are ephemeral — see our privacy policy.
we'll often send you elsewhere — to buy a book (amazon and other retailers), to listen (podcast apps, youtube), or to tools we build on. once you leave our site, that relationship is between you and them: their terms and policies apply. we choose partners carefully and we'll help where we can, but we can't guarantee their uptime, fix their mistakes, or refund their failures. we're your advocate, not your insurer.
don't use our services to break laws, harass anyone, spread malware, spam, impersonate others, scrape or data-mine, interfere with our systems, violate anyone's rights, or promote hate. basically: if you wouldn't do it in real life, don't do it here.
our services are provided "as is." we do our best, but we can't promise uninterrupted or error-free service, ai responses are not always perfect, external links may break, and results vary from person to person. to the maximum extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and we're not responsible for decisions you make based on our content. nothing here limits rights you have under mandatory law.
your data matters. how we handle it is in our privacy policy and cookie policy.
we may update these terms. for significant changes we'll flag it on the site; the "last updated" date above tells you which version you're reading. continued use after an update means you accept it.
these terms are governed by italian law, and disputes go to the courts of milan — except where your local law requires otherwise. before anyone calls a lawyer: email us at dpo@thesmallmediacompany.com and we'll genuinely try to sort it out. eu residents can also use the eu online dispute resolution platform.
