Summary

What these terms govern. These Terms of Service form a legally binding agreement between you and Smadi, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company. They apply any time you access or use the Smadi Platform, including smadi.tv, creator.smadi.tv, media.smadi.tv, and associated mobile apps.

Key points. You must be at least 18 to create an account (or 13-17 with parental consent). Subscription is US $6.99/month. Smadis are in-Platform utility tokens — not currency, not securities, not redeemable for cash. You retain ownership of content you create; Smadi retains ownership of the Platform itself. You agree not to upload prohibited content, circumvent access controls, or manipulate the Smadis economy.

Disputes. Disputes are governed by Georgia, USA law and resolved first through negotiation, then mediation, then binding arbitration in Atlanta. Class actions are waived where permitted by law. Rights under EU, UK, and other applicable consumer protection law are not waived.

Ce que ces conditions régissent. Ces Conditions d'utilisation constituent un accord juridiquement contraignant entre vous et Smadi, LLC, une société à responsabilité limitée de Géorgie. Elles s'appliquent chaque fois que vous accédez à ou utilisez la plateforme Smadi.

Points clés. Vous devez avoir au moins 18 ans pour créer un compte (ou 13-17 avec consentement parental). L'abonnement coûte 6,99 USD/mois. Les Smadis sont des jetons d'utilité internes à la plateforme — pas une monnaie, pas des titres, non remboursables en espèces. Vous conservez la propriété du contenu que vous créez ; Smadi conserve la propriété de la plateforme elle-même.

Litiges. Les litiges sont régis par le droit de la Géorgie, États-Unis, et résolus d'abord par la négociation, puis la médiation, puis l'arbitrage contraignant à Atlanta. Les actions collectives sont renoncées là où la loi le permet. Les droits des consommateurs en UE, au Royaume-Uni, et sous d'autres législations applicables ne sont pas renoncés.

Puntos clave. Debes tener al menos 18 años para crear una cuenta (o 13-17 con consentimiento parental). La suscripción cuesta USD $6.99/mes. Los Smadis son tokens de utilidad internos — no son moneda, no son valores, no son canjeables por efectivo. Mantienes la propiedad del contenido que creas; Smadi mantiene la propiedad de la plataforma.

Disputas. Las disputas se rigen por la ley de Georgia, EE.UU., y se resuelven primero mediante negociación, luego mediación, luego arbitraje vinculante en Atlanta. Las demandas colectivas son renunciadas donde lo permite la ley. Los derechos del consumidor bajo la UE, el Reino Unido y otras leyes aplicables no son renunciados.

Litígios. Os litígios são regidos pela lei da Geórgia, EUA, e resolvidos primeiro por negociação, depois mediação, depois arbitragem vinculativa em Atlanta. As ações coletivas são renunciadas onde a lei o permite. Os direitos do consumidor ao abrigo da UE, Reino Unido e outras leis aplicáveis não são renunciados.

ما تنظمه هذه الشروط. تشكّل شروط الخدمة هذه اتفاقاً ملزماً قانوناً بينك وبين Smadi, LLC، وهي شركة جورجيا ذات مسؤولية محدودة. تنطبق عليك في كل مرة تصل فيها إلى منصة سمادي أو تستخدمها.

النقاط الرئيسية. يجب أن يكون عمرك 18 عاماً على الأقل لإنشاء حساب (أو 13-17 بموافقة الوالدين). الاشتراك 6.99 دولار أمريكي/شهرياً. السمادي هي رموز استخدام داخلية — ليست عملة، ليست أوراقاً مالية، ليست قابلة للاستبدال بالنقد. تحتفظ بملكية المحتوى الذي تبتكره؛ يحتفظ سمادي بملكية المنصة نفسها.

النزاعات. تخضع النزاعات لقانون ولاية جورجيا الأمريكية وتُحل أولاً عبر التفاوض، ثم الوساطة، ثم التحكيم الملزم في أتلانتا. يُتنازَل عن الدعاوى الجماعية حيثما يسمح القانون. لا يُتنازَل عن حقوق المستهلك في الاتحاد الأوروبي والمملكة المتحدة والقوانين الأخرى المعمول بها.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Smadi grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include any right to:

  • sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise commercially exploit the Platform or any Content;

  • scrape, data-mine, or otherwise systematically extract data from the Platform without Smadi's prior written consent; or
  • use the Platform in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair Smadi's servers or networks.

4.2 Content Access Tiers

The Platform operates three content access tiers:

  • Free Tier (AVOD): Advertising-supported access to designated free-tier Content. No subscription payment is required. Advertising will be displayed during Content playback.
  • Subscriber Tier: Full catalogue access with reduced or eliminated advertising, monthly Smadis allocation, and additional platform features, subject to payment of the applicable Subscription fee.
  • Smadi Select: Premium Content designated by Smadi's editorial team as Smadi Select titles, accessible by redeeming Smadis at the tier price designated by Smadi (Standard: 20 Smadis / Featured: 50 Smadis / Premiere: 100 Smadis).

Smadi reserves the right to modify Content tier designations at any time at its sole discretion.

4.3 No Ownership Interest

Your use of the Platform does not grant you any ownership interest in the Platform, any Content, or any Intellectual Property Rights held by Smadi or its licensors. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by Smadi.

4.4 Geographic Availability

Certain Content may not be available in all geographic territories due to licensing restrictions, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. Smadi may geo-fence or restrict access to Content in specific jurisdictions without notice. The use of virtual private networks (VPNs) or other means to circumvent geographic access restrictions is prohibited and may result in account suspension.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

5.1 Subscription Plans

Smadi offers a monthly Subscription plan at the rate of USD $6.99 per month. Subscription pricing is subject to change upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the User's registered email address. Continued use of the Platform following a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

5.2 Billing and Payment

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly recurring basis through Smadi's payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Smadi to charge your designated payment method on a recurring monthly basis until your Subscription is cancelled. All payments are in United States Dollars (USD). You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, or charges imposed by your jurisdiction.

5.3 Free Trial

Smadi may, at its discretion, offer a free trial period to new Subscribers. Details of any free trial, including duration and eligible features, will be presented at the time of Subscription sign-up. At the conclusion of any free trial, your Subscription will automatically convert to a paid Subscription unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period.

5.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your Subscription at any time by accessing your account settings or by contacting Smadi at support@smadi.tv. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds will be issued for partial Subscription periods, except where required by applicable law. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to Subscriber-tier Content until the end of the current billing period, after which your account will revert to the free tier.

5.5 Payment Disputes

If you believe a charge to your account is incorrect, you must notify Smadi in writing at support@smadi.tv within thirty (30) days of the charge appearing on your billing statement. Smadi will investigate and, if the charge is determined to be erroneous, will issue a credit or refund as appropriate. Initiating a chargeback through your financial institution without first contacting Smadi may result in suspension of your account pending resolution.

5.6 Annual Subscription Option

Smadi may offer an annual Subscription plan at a discounted rate. Annual Subscription fees are charged in full at the time of purchase and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Annual Subscribers may cancel at any time, but will not receive a prorated refund for unused months.

6. Smadis Utility Token System

6.1 Nature of Smadis

Smadis are in-Platform utility tokens issued by Smadi for use exclusively within the Platform. Smadis are not currency, are not legal tender, are not a financial instrument, are not a security, and are not an investment. Smadis confer no ownership interest in Smadi, LLC, or any affiliated entity. Smadis carry no expectation of profit, appreciation, or return, and create no investor-issuer relationship of any kind. Nothing in these Terms or in Smadi's marketing materials should be construed as an offer or solicitation to purchase a security.

6.2 Acquisition of Smadis

Smadis may be acquired in the following ways:

  • through direct purchase from Smadi in designated pack sizes, as listed on the Platform at the time of purchase;
  • as part of a monthly Subscriber allocation (currently fifty (50) Smadis per month, subject to change); or
  • through promotional grants made by Smadi at its discretion.

Smadis purchased or received as part of a Subscription are subject to the rollover cap described in Section 6.4.

6.3 Permitted Uses of Smadis

Smadis may be used solely for the following purposes within the Platform:

  • Unlocking Smadi Select Content at the designated tier price;
  • Tipping Creators directly as a gesture of appreciation for their Content;
  • Accessing designated social or interactive features of the Platform that require Smadis as described at the time of the relevant feature's availability.

6.4 Rollover Cap and Expiration

Smadis received as part of a monthly Subscription allocation are subject to a rollover cap of one hundred (100) Smadis. Allocated Smadis that would cause the User's balance to exceed the rollover cap upon monthly issuance are forfeited. Smadi will provide a notification five (5) days before monthly Subscriber-allocated Smadis expire. Purchased Smadis are not subject to expiration unless the User's account is terminated or deactivated.

6.5 No Redemption for Cash

Smadis have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash, transferred to another User, sold, bartered, or otherwise exchanged for value outside the Platform under any circumstances. Any purported sale or transfer of Smadis outside the Platform is null and void. Smadi will not honor any such purported transfer.

6.6 Modifications to Smadis System

Smadi reserves the right to modify the value, acquisition price, redemption rates, rollover caps, expiration terms, or any other aspect of the Smadis system at any time upon thirty (30) days' written notice to registered Users. No modification to the Smadis system shall entitle any User to any compensation or refund with respect to previously acquired Smadis, except to the extent required by applicable law.

6.7 Creator Tip Revenue

When a User tips a Creator using Smadis, the Creator receives sixty percent (60%) of the Smadis value of the tip, converted to USD at the rate of USD $0.06 per Smadi, and the Platform retains forty percent (40%). Creator tip revenue is subject to the Creator's separate payout terms as set forth in the Creator License Agreement and Creator Payout Terms. These percentages are placeholders subject to revision prior to commercial launch.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Smadi's Intellectual Property

The Platform, including its design, code, user interface, branding, trademarks (including SMADI and associated logos), software, and all Content licensed by Smadi, is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not use, copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Smadi's Intellectual Property without Smadi's prior written consent.

Content uploaded to the Platform by Creators pursuant to a valid Creator License Agreement remains the exclusive intellectual property of the Creator.

Users may not reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, sublicense, or create derivative works from Creator Content without the express written permission of the relevant Creator and, where applicable, Smadi.

7.3 User-Generated Content License

By submitting User-Generated Content to the Platform, including comments, tip messages, and profile information, you grant Smadi a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute such User-Generated Content in connection with the operation, promotion, and improvement of the Platform. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to grant this license and that your User-Generated Content does not infringe any third-party Intellectual Property Rights.

Smadi's exercise or non-exercise of this right does not constitute an endorsement of any content on the Platform and does not create any liability for Smadi with respect to content that is not removed.

Smadi's collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is governed by Smadi's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Platform, you consent to Smadi's collection and use of your personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Advertising served through the free tier of the Platform is targeted based on content context, language preference, and geographic location derived from IP address. Individual behavioral tracking for advertising purposes is not employed without explicit consent as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers and Warranties

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

14. Governing Law

These Terms and all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, without giving effect to any choice-of-law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

Smadi operates globally and acknowledges that Users in the European Union, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions may have rights under local law that cannot be waived by these Terms. Nothing in this Section 14 is intended to limit rights that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Good Faith Negotiation

In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, or validity thereof ("Dispute"), the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation. Either party may initiate this process by providing written notice to the other party describing the Dispute in reasonable detail. The parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days following such notice ("Negotiation Period").

15.2 Mediation

If the Dispute is not resolved during the Negotiation Period, the parties agree to submit the Dispute to non-binding mediation before a mutually agreed mediator in the State of Georgia before initiating arbitration. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally by the parties.

15.3 Binding Arbitration

If mediation fails to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or if a party refuses to participate in mediation, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for individual Users) or Commercial Arbitration Rules (for business Users), as applicable, in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. The arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.4 Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AGAINST SMADI. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

15.5 Small Claims

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, provided the claim qualifies under that court's jurisdictional limits and the claim is not part of a class action.

15.6 Exclusions

Nothing in this Section 15 shall prevent Smadi from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect its Intellectual Property Rights, confidential information, or other proprietary rights.

16. Miscellaneous

16.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other agreements or policies incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Smadi with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

16.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

16.3 Waiver

No failure or delay by Smadi in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
