FOR GROWN-UPS

Terms of Service

Last updated October 26, 2026

These Terms govern Small Mighty Words, including our website, game and related services, operated by Storyfaire LLC, an Oregon limited liability company. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.

Adult accounts and players

Account holders must be adults who can enter into this agreement. If you create a player profile for a child, you must be their parent, legal guardian or have their parent’s or legal guardian’s authorization to manage their use; any legally required parental consent must still come from the appropriate parent or guardian. Supervise play and purchases, use an appropriate nickname and keep account credentials and the parent PIN private.

You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account. Contact support@storyfaire.com if you suspect unauthorized access. A parent PIN protects the grown-up area on a device; it is separate from your account password.

Free and paid content

Free accounts include the first 10 words in Paris. Other content may require an unlock or purchase. Where purchases are available, the checkout or app store shows the applicable price, taxes, included content and payment terms before you pay.

The all-cities bundle, when offered, includes the 15 cities identified in that offer. It does not include future episodes, future cities, merchandise or other future releases unless the offer expressly says so. Coming Soon content is not a promise of a release date.

Purchase restoration depends on the store and account used for the purchase. Refund requests are subject to the applicable store or payment-provider process and your statutory rights. Closing an SMW account does not automatically request a refund or cancel a separately managed store subscription. Nothing in these Terms limits a refund or other remedy you are entitled to by law.

Payments and platform access

Current city and all-cities offers are one-time purchases, not recurring subscriptions. Prices, currency, taxes and included content shown at checkout govern your order. The bundle covers the 15 current cities, not every future SMW release. Do not make a purchase unless you are authorized to use the payment method. Saved payment methods are handled by the payment provider when authorized.

Use the same SMW parent account on supported platforms to access linked progress and entitlements. Availability and purchase restoration can depend on the platform, store account, app version and account linking. An Apple or Google store account is not itself an SMW account. Contact support if a completed purchase is missing. For website billing issues, contact us; for store purchases, use the store’s refund or restoration process where applicable. Mandatory consumer cancellation and refund rights remain available.

Progress, rewards and availability

Points, streak bonuses and earned unlocks are game features, not money or transferable property. Referral rewards, when available, follow the program’s displayed rules. We may reject fraudulent, duplicate or manipulated claims.

We work to save progress reliably, but connectivity problems, device storage limits and clearing browser data can interrupt synchronization. Keep unsynced progress on your device until it has been saved to your account. Features may differ across platforms or be unavailable during maintenance.

Invite friends and earn levels

Adults can share their family invitation link. Each new friend who creates and verifies a parent account through that link earns the inviting family one level credit. The credit automatically unlocks the next unowned level in city order. Purchased and previously earned levels are skipped. No purchase or lesson completion is required. Multiple qualifying friends can earn multiple levels, up to all 15 current cities. Any unused credits remain on the family account, have no cash value, and do not promise access to future content. Existing accounts, self-invitations, repeat accounts and email aliases do not qualify. Rewards belong to the shared SMW family account. Share only with people who would welcome your invitation.

Using Small Mighty Words

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive right to use the service and content you can access for its intended educational and entertainment purposes. Storyfaire LLC and its licensors retain rights in the game, characters, artwork, videos, music, software and branding.

Do not redistribute or sell our content, copy the service for commercial use, bypass access controls, manipulate scores or referrals, access another family’s information, disrupt the service or use it unlawfully. These restrictions do not remove rights that applicable law gives you.

Community and player names

Use a non-identifying public game name. Do not impersonate others, include personal contact details in player names, harass people, or use offensive or unlawful names or content. We may remove or change inappropriate names and restrict abusive community activity. Public names, avatars and scores can be visible and searchable within available community features. Demo competitors are simulated, not real people.

You retain rights in information you submit. You give us permission to host, process and display it only as needed to provide the requested service and described community features, subject to our Privacy Policy. This is not a transfer of ownership in your content.

Your information and communications

Our Privacy Policy explains how parent and player information is handled. Personal-data processing remains subject to applicable law and any required separate consent. Accepting these Terms does not authorize session recording, marketing or collection of children’s information where additional permission is required. Creating a free account also includes SMW game news and goodies by email, as disclosed at signup. You can unsubscribe from marketing without losing your account.

Learning reports describe recorded game activity. They are not a medical, developmental or educational diagnosis, and we do not guarantee a particular learning outcome.

Closing or suspending an account

You can request account deletion in account settings. An email confirmation starts a 30-day cancellation window. After that window, the family account and associated cloud player data are removed according to our Privacy Policy. Contact support for help or a separate player-data request.

We may restrict or suspend access to address fraud, security risks, unlawful activity or material violations of these Terms. Where appropriate, we will explain the reason and give you a way to contact us. Any required refunds and consumer rights remain unaffected.

Beta features and external services

Beta features may contain errors or change as we test them. Reporting a bug does not guarantee a particular fix or release date. Beta status does not remove your consumer or privacy rights. Links to Gnoomies merchandise, social platforms or other services lead to separate offerings; a city purchase does not buy merchandise or third-party services.

Service changes and responsibility

We may correct errors, update lessons and improve or change features. We will give notice of material changes where required by law. Except for commitments we expressly make and protections required by law, the service is provided as available without a promise that it will always be uninterrupted or error-free.

To the extent permitted by law, Storyfaire LLC is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service. This does not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded, including liability for fraud, intentional wrongdoing or other mandatory consumer protections.

Disputes, updates and contact

Please contact us first so we can try to resolve a problem. These Terms are governed by Oregon law, except where mandatory laws where you live provide additional protections. Nothing here removes your right to bring a claim in a court or forum available under applicable law.

We may update these Terms and will provide notice of material changes where required. Contact Storyfaire LLC, 5020 NE M L King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR 97211, United States, or email support@storyfaire.com with “Small Mighty Words” in the subject.
