Terms of Service

Last updated: September 17, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Make A Brief, available at makeabrief.com (“Make A Brief,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. The Services

Make A Brief provides tools that allow users to submit content, including YouTube links, transcripts, documents, and other text or source material, and generate formatted briefs and related content from that material.

Generated briefs may be used for purposes such as email, websites, printing, publishing, and other lawful uses.

The Services may change over time, including the features, templates, formats, pricing, and technologies used to provide them.

2. Your Content and Your Rights

You retain ownership of the content you submit to Make A Brief (“Your Content”).

You are responsible for ensuring that you have all rights, permissions, licenses, or other legal authority necessary to submit Your Content to the Services and to use the resulting generated content.

Generated Content

You retain ownership of the generated content/briefs and may use, publish, reproduce, distribute, and commercially exploit them, provided you have the necessary rights to the source material.

Make A Brief does not claim ownership of your generated briefs.

Because the Services use automated and AI-assisted processing, generated content may contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or unintended wording. You are responsible for reviewing generated content before publishing, distributing, or relying on it.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Services only for lawful purposes.

You may not use the Services to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Infringe or violate another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Submit content that you do not have the right to use or process.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services, another user's information, or our systems.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Services or their underlying infrastructure.
• Circumvent, disable, or attempt to bypass usage limits, payment requirements, credit requirements, security controls, or other technical restrictions.
• Use automated methods to abuse, overload, scrape, or disrupt the Services in a manner that is not authorized by us.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying mechanisms of the Services, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms or are using the Services in a way that creates security, legal, or operational risks.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Make A Brief.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

5. Purchases, Pricing, and Paid Brief Credits

Make A Brief currently offers paid brief credits on a pay-per-use basis.

Current pricing is:

• $2 — One Brief
• $8 — Five Briefs

The five-brief purchase represents a 20% savings compared with purchasing five individual briefs.

Prices may change in the future. Any applicable price will be displayed before you complete a purchase.

Paid Credits

A successful purchase provides the following number of paid brief credits:

• A $2 purchase provides 1 paid brief credit.
• An $8 purchase provides 5 paid brief credits.

One paid credit is used for one successfully generated paid brief.

Starting the generation process does not by itself consume a credit. A credit is intended to be deducted only when a usable paid brief has been successfully generated.

If a technical failure prevents a usable brief from being generated, the corresponding credit should not be deducted.

Paid credits are maintained on our server and are associated with the applicable purchase record rather than being stored solely in your browser or on a particular device.

Stripe Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe.

When you complete a paid checkout, Stripe may provide Make A Brief with information associated with the transaction, including the email address used during checkout, purchase details, payment status, and transaction-related identifiers.

We use this information to associate the purchase with the applicable Make A Brief purchase and credit record, administer purchased credits, provide customer support, verify purchases, prevent fraud or abuse, and provide access to purchased credits.

Make A Brief does not store full payment-card numbers or security codes.

6. Credit Access and Recovery

Your purchased credits are associated with the applicable purchase record and are not permanently tied to the browser or device used to make the purchase.

If you use another browser or device, you may request access to your purchased credits by providing the email address associated with the purchase.

Make A Brief may send a secure access or recovery email to that purchase email address.

Recovery links are single-use and expire after 30 minutes. The link must be successfully redeemed to verify access to the applicable purchased credits.

Entering an email address by itself does not create credits, transfer credits, or entitle a person to credits. Access is granted only after the applicable purchase and ownership verification requirements are satisfied.

If you no longer have access to the email address used for a purchase, customer support may request transaction-related information or other information reasonably necessary to verify ownership of the purchase before assisting with credit access.

Credit recovery and use of existing purchased credits do not create a new charge. A customer using or recovering existing paid credits will not be charged again merely because they access those credits from another browser or device.

7. Use of Paid Credits

Each successfully generated paid brief consumes one paid credit.

Credits are not consumed merely by opening the Services, entering content, previewing the generation process, or starting a generation.

If a generation fails before a usable brief is produced because of a technical problem, Make A Brief will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the failed attempt does not consume the customer's paid credit.

Credits may not be sold, resold, transferred, or exchanged for cash except where required by applicable law.

Make A Brief may establish reasonable technical limits to prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized use of purchased credits.

8. Refunds and Failed Transactions

Except where required by applicable law, purchases are generally final.

If a technical problem prevents a purchased brief from being successfully generated, Make A Brief may restore the applicable credit, provide an opportunity to regenerate the brief, or provide another appropriate remedy.

Refunds, credits, or other remedies for technical problems may depend on the circumstances of the transaction and the nature of the problem.

If you believe you were charged incorrectly or that your purchased credits were not properly provided, contact us at admin@makeabrief.com.

9. Subscriptions

If Make A Brief introduces subscription plans in the future, the applicable subscription terms, pricing, billing frequency, cancellation terms, and other conditions will be presented before you subscribe.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchasing individual briefs or a bundle of briefs does not create a subscription or recurring charge.

10. AI-Generated Content

Make A Brief uses automated and AI-assisted technologies to process submitted material and generate briefs.

Generated content is provided as a convenience and may not always be accurate, complete, current, or appropriate for your intended purpose.

You are responsible for reviewing generated content before relying on, publishing, distributing, or otherwise using it.

Make A Brief does not guarantee that generated content will accurately represent the source material or be free from errors.

11. Third-Party Services

Make A Brief may rely on third-party services to operate portions of the Services, including payment processing, hosting, artificial intelligence processing, email delivery, analytics, transcription, and other infrastructure.

Third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies.

Make A Brief is not responsible for the independent actions, availability, or policies of third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law.

12. Intellectual Property of Make A Brief

The Make A Brief website, software, design, branding, templates, logos, interfaces, and other materials provided by Make A Brief, excluding Your Content and generated content owned by you as described above, are owned by or licensed to Make A Brief and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

These Terms do not grant you ownership of Make A Brief's software, source code, trademarks, branding, or other proprietary materials.

13. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, comments, or other feedback about Make A Brief, you agree that we may use that feedback to improve the Services without owing you compensation, provided that doing so does not disclose confidential personal information contrary to our Privacy Policy or applicable law.

14. Service Availability

We strive to keep Make A Brief available and functioning reliably, but we do not guarantee that the Services will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

The Services may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, updates, technical problems, third-party service interruptions, internet or hosting issues, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue portions of the Services at any time.

15. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Make A Brief disclaims warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, except where such warranties cannot legally be excluded.

We do not warrant that:

• The Services will meet every user's requirements.
• The Services will always be available or uninterrupted.
• Generated content will be accurate, complete, or error-free.
• The Services will be compatible with every device, browser, platform, or third-party service.
• Any particular result will be obtained from using the Services.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Make A Brief and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Make A Brief's total liability for claims arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid to Make A Brief for the Services during the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under applicable law.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Make A Brief and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your use of the Services.
• Your Content.
• Your violation of another person's rights.
• Your failure to obtain necessary rights or permissions for source material you submit.

18. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive activity, create security or legal risks, or where otherwise reasonably necessary to protect the Services or users.

Termination does not eliminate obligations that by their nature should continue after termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, disputes, and other applicable provisions.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this document. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to Make A Brief and its operations, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

Any dispute will be handled in accordance with the dispute-resolution requirements applicable to you and Make A Brief.

21. Authorized Agent Use

You may use an AI agent or other automated assistant to interact with Make A Brief on your behalf when the agent is acting under your direction and using an authenticated account or authorized access method.

Any such use remains subject to these Terms, including all applicable pricing, credit, usage, security, and content restrictions.

You may not use an automated agent to circumvent payment requirements, credit limits, access controls, security measures, or other restrictions.

You remain responsible for actions taken through an agent operating under your authorization.

22. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains, among other things, how we handle information received from Stripe, including the email address associated with a paid purchase, and how that information may be used to administer and recover purchased credits.

The Privacy Policy also describes how information voluntarily provided for surveys or free-brief offers may be handled.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms and any policies expressly incorporated into them constitute the agreement between you and Make A Brief regarding your use of the Services and supersede prior agreements concerning the same subject matter, except where a separate written agreement expressly applies.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.
