Terms of Service

Last updated: October 23, 2026

These terms govern your purchase and use of BriefBot ("the Product"), sold by the developer of this website ("we", "us"). By buying or using the Product you agree to them. Plain-language summary first, details after.

Short version: you pay once, you download a zip, the code is MIT-licensed so it's yours to keep, fork, and ship. It's software you run yourself — no warranty, and if it's not for you there's a refund window (up to 60 days). That's the whole deal.

1. What you're buying

BriefBot is a digital download: a self-hosted, MIT-licensed Python application together with example configurations, a GitHub Actions workflow, a quick-start guide, and a validation report. After checkout you get instant access to the download. No account is created and no service is hosted by us.

2. License

The source code is licensed under the MIT License. That means you may use, copy, modify, merge, and distribute it — including commercially, including as part of your own product — provided the copyright and permission notice are included. Your purchase buys the packaged kit, future updates to it, and support by email; it does not add restrictions to (or remove any from) the MIT License.

3. Delivery and access

Delivery is immediate: a download link is provided upon successful payment, processed by Creem (our Merchant of Record).
If the download fails or the link expires, email us and we'll re-issue it.
We may update the kit (fixes, new example configs). Updates, when offered, go to the email used at checkout.

4. Refunds

The Product is buyer-friendly: if it's not for you, request a refund within the checkout window — up to 60 days from purchase via Creem — and we'll process it without fuss. Since the code is MIT-licensed and already in your hands, we rely on your honesty: please don't buy, fork, and refund in the same breath. Full details are on the Refund Policy page.

5. No warranty

The Product is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. You are running software against third-party websites and APIs; their availability, formats, and terms can change at any time and are outside our control.

6. Your responsibilities when running it

You run BriefBot on your own infrastructure (your machine, your server, or your GitHub account). You are responsible for what it fetches, sends, and stores.
Respect the terms of service of the sources you configure (RSS feeds, websites, APIs) and the laws that apply to you, including any data-protection obligations for the channels you deliver to.
Keep your own secrets (API keys, bot tokens, SMTP credentials) safe; they never need to be — and never should be — shared with us.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Product. Our total aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Product ($19 at launch pricing).

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the Product evolves. The version on this page applies to purchases made after its "Last updated" date; earlier purchases remain governed by the terms shown at their time of purchase.

Governing law: the laws of the seller's principal place of residence, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
