Terms of Service

Last updated: July 7, 2026 Effective: June 16, 2026 Status: Reviewed by counsel (April 2026; arbitration provision §11, Copyright complaints §12, and the business address §14 reviewed June 2026).

Plain-language summary

By using Brin, you agree to these terms. The short version:

  • Brin is a productivity tool. It is not a licensed professional. John, the AI features, and any suggestions Brin gives you are not legal, medical, financial, tax, or investment advice.
  • You are responsible for what you do with Brin's output. Always use your own judgment.
  • Brin is provided "as is" with no warranties. Our total liability to you is capped at what you paid us in the last twelve months (or US$100 if you paid nothing).
  • You own the content you create in Brin. We do not claim any rights to your tasks, notes, or knowledge base.
  • Don't use Brin for anything illegal or harmful.
  • Disputes are resolved by individual arbitration, not class actions. You can opt out within 30 days of accepting.

The rest of this document states the above more formally.

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "user") and Brin Solutions ("Brin," "we," "us," or "our"). By installing, accessing, or using Brin, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Brin.

If you are using Brin on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Brin Solutions is a United States company. Your use of Brin, including any payment, is a transaction with a U.S.-based company and is governed by these Terms.

2. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Brin on hardware you own or control, for your own business or personal productivity purposes.

You may not:

  • Resell, sublicense, rent, or lease Brin or access to it
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble Brin except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law
  • Remove any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices
  • Use Brin to build a competing product
  • Use Brin in a way that violates any law, regulation, or third-party right

3. Your account and your data

  • Your account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Brin login, the device you install it on, and the API keys you configure.
  • Your data. You own the tasks, notes, knowledge base entries, projects, and other content you create in Brin. We do not claim any ownership or license over your content beyond what is strictly necessary to operate the features you use.
  • Local storage. Brin stores your data locally on your device. Backing up your device is your responsibility.
  • API keys. You are responsible for paying any fees charged by AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI) for your use of their APIs through Brin. We are not a party to your relationship with those providers.

4. AI features and output disclaimer

Brin integrates with third-party AI providers (including Anthropic Claude and OpenAI) to power features such as John (the Chief of Staff), voice mode, planning, knowledge base extraction, and task suggestions. You acknowledge and agree:

  1. AI output is generated by a language model. It may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or entirely fabricated ("hallucinated"). Similar prompts may produce different answers at different times.

  2. Brin is not a licensed professional. Nothing Brin, John, or any AI feature produces constitutes:

    • Legal advice
    • Medical or health advice
    • Financial, investment, tax, or accounting advice
    • Psychological or therapeutic advice
    • Advice from any other licensed profession

    If you need professional advice, consult a qualified human professional licensed in your jurisdiction.

  3. Human-in-the-loop required. You are responsible for independently reviewing, validating, and deciding whether to act on any output Brin produces. Do not execute irreversible actions (financial transactions, sending messages, publishing content, etc.) based solely on Brin's suggestions without your own review.

  4. You are responsible for consequences. Any decision you make after using Brin is your decision. We are not responsible for outcomes that result from following (or not following) Brin's output.

  5. Third-party provider terms apply. Your use of Anthropic's and OpenAI's APIs through Brin is also governed by their own terms of service and usage policies. You agree not to use Brin to generate content that violates those policies (see Section 5).

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Brin, directly or indirectly, to:

  • Violate any law, regulation, or third-party right
  • Generate or distribute content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or infringing
  • Generate sexual content involving minors, or content that sexualizes real people without consent
  • Generate content intended to deceive, defraud, or manipulate people (e.g., phishing, impersonation, disinformation)
  • Generate weapons, malware, or instructions for causing physical harm
  • Circumvent AI provider safety systems or rate limits
  • Collect or process personal information about third parties without a lawful basis
  • Reverse-engineer the prompts, weights, or training data of the underlying AI models
  • Interfere with Brin's operation or security

We may suspend or terminate your license if we reasonably believe you have violated this Section.

6. No warranty

Brin IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT Brin WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT ITS OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. WE DO NOT WARRANT ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS OR PRODUCTIVITY OUTCOMES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the excluded warranties apply only to the minimum extent required by law.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • No indirect damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

  • Liability cap. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF Brin WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR Brin IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$100.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) and even if any limited remedy fails its essential purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Brin Solutions, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, liability, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law or third-party right, (c) your misuse of AI features (including prompts or content you submit), or (d) content you create or share using Brin.

9. Termination

  • By you. You may stop using Brin at any time by uninstalling it and deleting its data folder.
  • By us. We may suspend or terminate your license at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, or if we must do so to comply with law.
  • Effect of termination. Sections 3 (your data), 4 (AI disclaimer), 6 (no warranty), 7 (liability), 8 (indemnification), 11 (governing law), and any other section that by its nature should survive will survive termination.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date and bump the LEGAL_POLICY_VERSION constant inside the application so you are prompted to re-accept. For material changes, we will also notify you through the application or by email where we have one.

Your continued use of Brin after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

  • Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. For users in the Philippines, the laws of the Republic of the Philippines apply concurrently to the extent required by Philippine mandatory law.
  • Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or filing any claim, you agree to email privacy@brinsolutions.com describing the dispute in reasonable detail. We will respond in good faith within 30 days. Many disputes can be resolved this way.
  • Binding individual arbitration. Except for the carve-outs below, you and Brin Solutions agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or Brin will be resolved by FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, not in court, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for a dispute between businesses, its Commercial Arbitration Rules) then in effect. If AAA is unavailable, the parties will select a comparable provider such as JAMS. The arbitrator decides all issues, except that a court decides the enforceability of this arbitration provision and the class-action waiver. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Class-action waiver. You and Brin agree that each may bring claims only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any class or representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a given claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the rest of this Section still applies.
  • Carve-outs. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
  • Arbitration fees. For a consumer dispute, Brin Solutions will pay the arbitration fees required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules beyond the consumer's initial filing fee.
  • Location. Arbitration will be conducted by document submission or video where the rules allow. Any in-person hearing will be held in the county where you reside, or as the rules otherwise require.
  • 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing privacy@brinsolutions.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
  • Court matters. For any dispute not subject to arbitration (including enforcement of the arbitration provision or the carve-outs above), you and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, except where Philippine mandatory law requires otherwise, in which case the courts of the Philippines will have concurrent jurisdiction.
  • Philippines users. Where Philippine mandatory law gives a consumer a non-waivable right to local courts, this arbitration provision applies only to the extent that law permits.

12. Copyright complaints

Brin Solutions respects intellectual property rights. If you believe content handled through Brin infringes your copyright, email privacy@brinsolutions.com with: identification of the work; identification and location of the material you believe infringes; your contact information; and a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized. We will review valid reports and remove or disable infringing material where appropriate, and may suspend or terminate users who repeatedly infringe.

13. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and AI Disclosure, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Brin.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Notices. We may give you notice through the application or to any contact address you have given us. You may give us notice at privacy@brinsolutions.com.
  • Independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, agency, or joint venture between you and us.
