By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

⸻

2. Eligibility

Brief is not intended for children under 13. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under the age required to consent to digital services in your jurisdiction, you must use the Service with the permission of a parent or guardian.

3. Your Account

— You register and sign in using a phone number, verified through a one-time code sent by our authentication provider.

— You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it.

— You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.

— You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

⸻

4. What the Service Does

Brief is a video-discovery and indexing service. You tell us your interests, moods, preferences, and desired viewing time, and Brief assembles a personalized feed of short-form videos discovered and indexed from various third-party platforms. To do this, the Service:

— collects and processes the interests, preferences, prompts, and other inputs you provide;

— curates, filters, ranks, re-orders, moderates, and personalizes indexed third-party video content on your behalf, including automated content moderation and AI-assisted classification, transcription, and scoring;

— selects which videos to include in, and exclude from, your feed; and

— may temporarily cache, format-shift, or index links to third-party videos to deliver them to you effectively.

Brief acts strictly as an intermediary discovery layer. We do not create or permanently host the underlying videos, and all videos remain the property of their respective creators and originating platforms.

⸻

5. Your Authorization of Curation, Filtering, and Personalization

By using the Service, you expressly authorize, request, and consent to Brief performing the curation, filtering, ranking, moderation, personalization, caching, and delivery activities described in Section 4 and throughout these Terms — including the use of your interests, preferences, prompts, likes, and engagement signals to select and order content for you.

You acknowledge and agree that:

— These activities are the core function you are asking Brief to perform on your behalf;

— Automated systems (including AI models and content-moderation systems) make selection, filtering, and ordering decisions, and these systems are not perfect and may include, exclude, or mis-classify content;

— You may withdraw this authorization at any time by discontinuing use of the Service and, where applicable, deleting your account; and

— You will not hold Brief liable for the results of curation or filtering carried out at your request, except as required by applicable law.

6. Your Responsibility for the Content You Watch

You are solely responsible for the videos you choose to view, play, and interact with on the Service.

— The videos are third-party content that Brief surfaces but does not produce, endorse, verify, or guarantee.

— Automated curation and moderation are aids, not guarantees. Despite our moderation efforts, content that is inaccurate, offensive, objectionable, or otherwise unwanted may appear in your feed.

— The decision to watch, continue watching, act on, or rely upon any video is yours alone. You are responsible for exercising your own judgment about the content you consume.

— If you encounter content you believe is harmful, illegal, or violates these Terms, you should stop viewing it and report it to us through the in-app reporting tools or at help@yourbrief.com.

— Brief does not provide medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice, and no video surfaced through the Service should be treated as such.

You agree not to:

— use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;

— attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, overload, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure;

— use the Service to infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of others; or

— resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or its content without our written permission.

We may suspend or terminate your access for any violation of these Terms.

8. Third-Party Content and Services

The Service relies on and displays content and services indexed from third-party platforms. Your use of that content may also be subject to those third parties' own terms. We are not responsible for third-party content, terms, or practices, and we make no warranties regarding them.

The Service — including its software, design, and branding — is owned by Brief and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party videos remain the property of their respective owners.

⸻

10. Copyright & DMCA Policy

Brief respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Because we act as a search and discovery platform, if you believe that content indexed and surfaced by Brief infringes your copyright, please submit a written notice to our designated Copyright Agent at help@yourbrief.com containing the required DMCA information. We will promptly remove or disable access to the indexed links upon receipt of a valid notice.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Arbitration Agreement: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be determined by binding arbitration in California before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver: YOU AND BRIEF AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
