Terms of use
Read this before acting on anything you see on any ActSmall site. We try to be careful, but the data the map shows is not a substitute for qualified local advice.
ActSmall is informational only. It is not medical, first-aid, treatment, or engineering advice; not legal, insurance, navigation, or maritime safety advice; not beekeeping, pest-management, or pollinator-allergy medical advice. For drinking water or a fire or any incident, ask qualified people in your community — not this site.
- The content is educational and informational, not professional advice. It is general; your local conditions, water sources, materials, climate, and regulations are not.
- The content is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
- Use is at your own risk. You are solely responsible for assessing the suitability and safety of any practice for your situation, for any harm to people, animals, property, or the environment, and for the safety of anything you or others consume.
- Where this site mentions specific numbers (distances, depths, retention times, removal percentages, dosage figures, set-back distances, etc.) they are common starting figures from published field literature. They are not guarantees, design specifications, or substitutes for site-specific assessment by qualified people.
- Comply with local laws and regulations. Many jurisdictions regulate greywater handling, runoff, well setbacks, constructed wetlands, beekeeping, controlled burns, pesticide application, marine harvesting, and food handling. Check with your local authorities before acting.
- For anything beyond a small, contained learning project, get review from qualified local professionals — public-health, water, sanitation, civil or environmental engineering, beekeeping inspectors, fire authorities, marine biologists, agronomists, etc.
- Links to third-party organisations (WHO, CDC, USGS, NASA FIRMS, FAO, IUCN, etc.) are for convenience only. ActSmall does not control, endorse, or take responsibility for their content.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, the project, contributors, and maintainers disclaim all liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or anything done based on it.
If any part of these terms is unacceptable to you, please do not use the content.
