Terms of use
Use Brief with authority over the code and data you connect.
These terms cover the Brief web service and local connector. Use Brief only with systems, repositories, and data you are authorized to access.
The service
Brief provides local coding-agent context, maps, workflow guidance, review checks, and optional team-cloud records. Features may evolve as the product develops. Brief is not an autonomous source of legal, security, compliance, or production-approval decisions; users remain responsible for reviewing agent output and changes. The local Brief Connector distributed as the runbrief npm package is licensed under Apache-2.0; that license does not grant access to the hosted Brief service or its APIs.
Accounts and authorization
Keep account and connector credentials secure. Do not share a connector credential outside its intended workspace. You must have permission to scan each repo, process each task or runtime record, invite each teammate, and sync each piece of team data.
Acceptable use
Do not use Brief to access systems without authorization, expose secrets or personal data, distribute malware, evade security controls, interfere with the service, or violate applicable law. Do not rely on Brief as the sole control for safety-critical or high-impact decisions.
Customer content
You retain rights in the repos, instructions, and workspace data you provide. You grant Brief only the permission needed to process that content for the service and the privacy mode you selected. Brief retains rights in its software, product design, and documentation.
Plans and billing
Founding Team Access is currently included. Brief may introduce paid plans later, but will present the price, billing interval, member quantity, renewal terms, and applicable taxes before a workspace owner authorizes checkout. No workspace is charged merely for creating a team or inviting members. If an owner later starts a paid plan, it can be managed or canceled from Settings.
Availability and warranties
Brief is provided as available without a guaranteed uptime or support SLA. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided without implied warranties. You are responsible for backups, source control, tests, reviews, deployment gates, and rollback plans for changes made with coding agents.
Ending use
You may stop using the local connector at any time and can export or delete cloud workspace data from Settings. Brief may suspend access needed to protect customers, the service, or third parties from abuse or security risk. For questions about these terms, use Brief's private request form.
