Acceptable Use Policy
GoBrief is for professional creative-operations work. Don't use it for illegal content, rights infringement, abuse, or anything that threatens our users or our infrastructure.
Pre-incorporation notice. GoBrief is currently operated by Brian Kaplan as a sole proprietor in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, pending formation of GoBrief LLC (a Tennessee limited liability company). On LLC formation, the entity becomes the successor-in-interest and operator under these documents. These policies have been reviewed internally against standard SaaS and privacy patterns and will receive outside-counsel review before customer-paid engagements scale. Any material updates will be versioned here and emailed to active customers 30 days in advance.
1. What's prohibited
You may not use GoBrief (and you may not let anyone you authorize, such as partners, teammates, or vendors, use GoBrief) to:
- Store, transmit, or distribute content that is illegal in the US or in your jurisdiction.
- Infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other rights.
- Upload child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This will result in immediate termination and legal reporting.
- Distribute malware, phishing content, or anything that harms users' devices.
- Harass, threaten, dox, or defame another person.
- Impersonate another person or organization without authorization.
- Run phishing campaigns, spam, or unsolicited commercial messaging through GoBrief emails or magic links.
- Share credentials that let unauthorized people access your workspace.
- Circumvent our rate limits, quotas, security, or billing systems.
- Reverse-engineer the service, scrape it at scale, or automate interactions beyond published APIs or official rate limits. Research is fine; email security@gobrief.co to coordinate.
- Train a competing AI model on the service's outputs.
- Use the service where you're prohibited by US sanctions law (OFAC sanctioned countries or parties).
2. Enforcement
If we detect or are notified of a violation, we will generally follow a proportional escalation: written notice and an opportunity to cure (typically 7 days for non-urgent, non-illegal violations), then content removal, then temporary suspension, then termination. “Severe violations”, defined as (a) illegal content (including CSAM, content that is the subject of a valid legal order, or material that presents an imminent risk of serious harm), (b) ongoing or willful abuse, (c) active threats to the integrity, availability, or security of our infrastructure or other customers, or (d) conduct that exposes GoBrief to material legal liability , may be actioned without prior notice, with notice provided as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. We may cooperate with law enforcement when legally compelled and will push back on overbroad requests where we can.
3. Relationship to other terms
This Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated into and forms part of the Terms of Service. The liability limitations, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution, and termination provisions of the Terms of Service apply to violations of this policy. Nothing in this policy is intended to limit or enlarge those provisions.
4. Reporting abuse
If you encounter a GoBrief link or workspace that appears to violate this policy, email abuse@gobrief.co with as much detail as you can. For copyright infringement specifically, follow the process at /dmca.
5. Workspace owners are responsible
If you're the owner of a GoBrief workspace, you're responsible for what your team and your partners do inside it. That includes making sure partners have the right to upload the content they're sending you, and that the content they receive from you is licensed or owned for the purpose you're sending it for.
6. Changes
We may update this policy as abuse patterns evolve. Material updates take effect on posting but we'll email active workspace owners about substantive changes.
