Genius Catalyst Cafe is operated by Genius Catalyst Inc., a company incorporated in the State of California, United States (registered address: 23371 Mulholland Drive #131, Woodland Hills, CA 91364).
We provide personal development and coaching resources, including online programmes, courses, and the Digital Michael AI service. Throughout these Terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Genius Catalyst Inc., and “you” refers to the individual accessing or using our Service.
For questions or support, contact us at: [email protected]
We offer the following services through the Genius Catalyst Cafe website and associated platforms:
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of our Service at any time, with or without notice.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Service. By using our Service, you confirm that you are 18 or older and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
This section applies specifically to the Digital Michael AI service. It forms part of these Terms and is incorporated by reference into our checkout agreement.
Digital Michael is an AI simulation – a digital twin of Michael Neill, trained on his work, his voice, and his philosophy. It is designed to help you think out loud, find clarity, and reconnect with your own wisdom.
Digital Michael may have surprisingly human-like conversations and help you see things differently. However, it is not Michael Neill, and it is not a licensed therapist, counsellor, psychologist, or any other regulated health or mental health professional.
Digital Michael is provided for educational and personal development purposes only. It is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.
By purchasing and using Digital Michael, you acknowledge and agree that:
Digital Michael is available 24/7 and will never have an off day. However, it cannot replace human connection, and it is not a substitute for real relationships, professional therapy, or the kind of support that comes from being truly seen by another human being.
Digital Michael is not appropriate as the sole or primary source of support in connection with:
If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please stop using this service and contact emergency services (999 / 911) or a trained professional immediately.
Each conversation with Digital Michael is separate and confidential. Your data is stored securely and used solely to enable Digital Michael to respond to you. Digital Michael does not mine your personal information to sell you things or to train unrelated AI systems.
Please be aware that:
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you will not, under any circumstances, hold Michael Neill, Genius Catalyst Inc., or any of their employees, contractors, affiliates, or assigns liable for any loss, injury, damage, cost, or expense – whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential – arising out of or in connection with your purchase of or participation in Digital Michael, in perpetuity.
Genius Catalyst Inc. makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, fitness for purpose, or results of the Digital Michael service. You use the service entirely at your own risk.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraudulent misrepresentation.
To access certain parts of our Service, you will need to create an account. You agree to:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that are found to be in breach of these Terms.
When you place an order through our Service, you warrant that you are legally entitled to make that purchase and that any payment information you provide is accurate and complete.
All prices are shown in US dollars unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and to refuse or cancel any order where a pricing error has occurred.
Payment is processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers.
Some of our services are offered on a subscription basis. By starting a subscription, you authorise us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the rate and frequency shown at the time of purchase.
Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at [email protected].
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged for the following period, but you will retain access to the service until your current period ends.
We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. We will give you reasonable advance notice of any price change, and your continued use of the subscription after the change takes effect will constitute your acceptance of the new price.
Our refund policy varies by product type. Please check the individual product page for the specific refund terms that apply to your purchase. Our standard terms are as follows:
Where the product page states different refund terms, those terms take precedence over the standard terms above.
All refunds are subject to applicable law. If you experience a technical issue that prevents you from accessing a product you have purchased, please contact us at [email protected] and we will do our best to resolve it promptly.

At Genius Catalyst Inc., we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.
This policy applies to the Genius Catalyst Cafe website (geniuscatalystcafe.com), the Genius Catalyst app (iOS and Android), the Digital Michael AI service (michaelneill.ai), the Caffeine for the Soul app, and any related services we provide.
Genius Catalyst Inc.

Genius Catalyst Inc. is the data controller for your personal data. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at the address above.
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a password (stored in encrypted form). We use this to give you access to our services, manage your purchases, and communicate with you about your account. You can also opt-in for marketing communication as well.
When you make a purchase on the Genius Catalyst Cafe website, we collect your name, email address, and billing address. Payment card details are processed directly and securely by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number. We receive a payment confirmation and a partial card reference from Stripe for order records.
We use WooCommerce to manage our shop and order history.
The Genius Catalyst app offers purchases and subscriptions through the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). When you make a purchase within the app:
Apple and Google maintain their own records of your purchases independently of us, in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
When you use Digital Michael, your conversation messages are processed to generate AI responses. Each conversation is kept separate and private — it is encrypted by your unique encryption key so no one at Genius Catalyst Inc. can read your conversations as a matter of course.
Your conversation data is stored securely and used only to enable the service to respond to you. It is not used to train unrelated AI systems, sold to third parties, or used for advertising purposes.
Please be mindful that no digital system is completely risk-free, and you share information at your own discretion. We recommend not sharing information you would not want stored (even encrypted) on a third-party server.
When you enrol in an online programme or course, we record your enrolment, progress, and completion status. This allows us to give you access to the content you have purchased and to track your progress.
If you take out a subscription, we store your subscription status, billing dates, and renewal history alongside your account. Subscriptions purchased on the website are handled by Stripe (see section 2.2). Subscriptions purchased within the Genius Catalyst app are handled by Apple or Google (see section 2.3).
When you contact us via a form or by email, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry.
The Genius Catalyst app (iOS and Android) is our standalone app for accessing Digital Michael and related services and managing your account. The app collects the same categories of personal data described in sections 2.1–2.7 above, as applicable to the actions you take within the app.
Additionally:
You can create and permanently delete your account directly from within the Genius Catalyst app (see section 8a).
Digital Michael is also accessible within the Caffeine for the Soul app (iOS and Android). When you use Digital Michael through that app, the same conversation data practices described in section 2.4 apply. No additional personal data is collected solely by that app.
Data collected through either app is also subject to the privacy practices of the Apple App Store and Google Play Store respectively. Please review their privacy policies for more information.
We collect standard website usage data — such as pages visited, time spent on site, and general location (country/region) — to understand how people use our site and improve it. This data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We may use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose.
We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and support website functionality. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others are used for analytics. You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie banner on our site or through your browser settings.
Third-party services we use (such as Stripe, YouTube/Vimeo embeds, and analytics tools) may also set their own cookies. We have no control over these.
If you are located in the UK or European Union, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
If you opt in to marketing emails, we will send you updates about our products, events, and content. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us directly.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business, and only to the extent necessary. These include:
All third-party providers are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy law and our data processing agreements.
