✦ 1. What you're agreeing to
These terms govern your use of the Brief browser extension (the "Extension") and this website. By installing or using the Extension, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use it. Brief is open-source software; your use of the source code is also governed by its open-source license (MIT), available in the project repository.
✦ 2. What Brief is
Brief lets you capture a bug or idea, as a screen plus voice recording, an annotated screenshot, or a typed note, and saves it locally on your machine as a "brief." You then hand that brief to your own coding agent, which files a ticket in your own tracker. Brief is a capture-and-handoff tool; it does not itself file tickets, and it requires a separate coding agent (which you provide) to do anything useful with a brief.
✦ 3. You bring your own agent and tracker
Brief does not include, control, or take responsibility for the coding agent or issue tracker you use with it. When you export a brief and hand it to your agent:
- › Your agent reads the brief and acts on it. Brief has no control over what your agent does, what it files, or where.
- › Your use of that agent and tracker is subject to their terms and privacy policies, not ours.
- › You are responsible for reviewing what gets filed, and for any content you capture and choose to pass on.
✦ 4. Acceptable use
Use Brief lawfully. Don't use it to capture or distribute content you have no right to, to violate anyone's privacy, or to break the terms of the websites you're recording. Only record screens and audio you're entitled to record. You are solely responsible for what you capture.
✦ 5. No warranty
Brief is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that it will be error free, uninterrupted, or that transcription, capture, or any ticket your agent files will be accurate or complete. Voice transcription in particular relies on your browser's speech recognition and can be imperfect.
✦ 6. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors of Brief are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, work, or tickets, arising out of or related to your use of the Extension. That includes anything your own coding agent or tracker does with a brief. Brief is free software; you use it at your own risk.
✦ 7. Changes
We may update the Extension and these terms over time. If a future optional cloud-hosted version is offered, it will carry its own terms (and, where it involves payment, separate terms of sale). Those will be presented separately and won't change the terms for the free, local Extension described here. Material changes to these terms will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
✦ 8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [your jurisdiction, fill in before publishing], without regard to conflict of laws rules. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
