Terms of Service

Effective March 6, 2026

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SMRY website, application, and services (collectively, the "Service") operated by SMRY ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes.

The Service

SMRY is a personal reading tool. When you provide a URL, the Service processes the content for your personal reading and may generate AI-powered summaries for your use. The Service may also enable text-to-speech playback and provide other reading-related features.

Content availability depends on the source and may vary. We do not guarantee access to any particular content.

AI-generated summaries, highlights, and other outputs are provided for informational purposes only and may contain inaccuracies. You should verify any information obtained through the Service before relying on it.

Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for your use of the Service and for any URLs you submit. You represent that you will use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to access content that you are not authorized to access
  • Reproduce, distribute, or publicly display content obtained through the Service in violation of applicable copyright or other intellectual property laws
  • Use the Service for any commercial purpose involving the redistribution of third-party content without authorization
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks connected to the Service
  • Use automated means to access the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable use or imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure
  • Use the Service to collect or harvest personal information about other users

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

Third-Party Content

The Service retrieves and displays content from third-party websites. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, including its accuracy, completeness, legality, or appropriateness.

Third-party content may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Your use of such content is subject to any restrictions imposed by the content owner. Please refer to the original source for applicable terms, copyright notices, and licensing information.

The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial reading and research purposes. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of any content accessed through the Service complies with applicable law and the rights of third parties.

Copyright & DMCA Policy

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content accessible through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Your DMCA takedown notice must include:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  • Identification of the material on the Service that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to locate it
  • Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email)
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
  • Your physical or electronic signature

Send DMCA notices to:

SMRY DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@smry.ai

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notification, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.

Counter-notification. If you believe that material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA Agent. Your counter-notification must include: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the material that was removed and its prior location; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and (4) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district and will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notification.

Repeat infringers. We maintain a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, in appropriate circumstances.

Technical measures. We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect their copyrighted works, as defined under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

Publisher opt-out. If you are a content publisher and wish to prevent the Service from accessing your content, you may contact us at publishers@smry.ai and we will honor your request.

Accounts & Subscriptions

Some features of the Service require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

We offer paid subscription plans that provide access to additional features. Paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings.

We reserve the right to modify pricing with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect your current billing period.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; that any content will be accessible, accurate, or complete; or that defects will be corrected. You use the Service at your own risk.

We make no representations or warranties regarding the availability, accuracy, or completeness of any third-party content accessed through the Service. We do not warrant that your use of the Service will not infringe the rights of third parties.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SMRY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or fifty US dollars (US$50), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SMRY and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SMRY regarding the Service.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.

Children. The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, do not use the Service.
