Last Updated: January 23, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you") and Starso ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the BriefMap mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

2. Description of Service

BriefMap is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application that uses artificial intelligence to process, summarize, and transform publicly available audio and visual content submitted by users. The Service utilizes various third-party cloud infrastructure and AI model providers to deliver its functionality.

3. Accounts and User Responsibilities

3.1 Access Methods

The Service may be accessed as a guest ("Guest Mode") or by authenticating via supported third-party providers (e.g., Apple Sign-In).

  • Guest Mode: Usage is tracked via an anonymous identifier tied to your device. Clearing your device data or changing devices may result in the loss of access to your history and free trial credits.
  • Authenticated Accounts: Using Apple Sign-In allows you to persist your history and Pro Subscription across devices. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple account.

3.2 User Representations

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

  • You have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Terms;
  • You are not under the age of 13;
  • You have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to submit any content (URLs, video, audio) to the Service for processing;
  • Your use of the Service will not violate any applicable law or regulation, or the Terms of Service of any third-party platform from which content is sourced.

4. Subscriptions, Fees, and Payment

4.1 Subscription Plans

The Service acts as a "Freemium" service. We may offer a limited free trial or free tier. Continued access to advanced features (e.g., generous usage limits, extended duration processing) requires a paid subscription ("Pro Subscription").

4.2 Billing and Cancellation

Subscriptions are managed and billed through the platform provider (e.g., Apple App Store). All payments are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective platform. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your platform account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term.

ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR THE STORE POLICY.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

5.1 Service Content

Unless otherwise indicated, the Service is our proprietary property and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics on the Service (collectively, the "Content") are owned or controlled by us or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws.

5.2 Generated Output

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the rights of any third-party content owners, we hereby assign to you all right, title, and interest in and to the specific summaries and audio files generated by the Service at your request ("Output"). You are solely responsible for your use of the Output and for ensuring such use does not infringe upon the rights of the original content creators.

6. Usage Limits and Prohibited Activities

Pro Subscriptions include a generous usage limit designed to cover the needs of heavy individual users. We reserve the right to throttle, suspend, or terminate accounts that exhibit unusual or excessive usage patterns (e.g., automated bulk processing, sharing accounts) that strain our infrastructure or exceed these reasonable limits.

You may not access or use the Service for any purpose other than that for which we make the Service available. The Service may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by us.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND OUR SERVICES WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICE'S CONTENT, THE OUTPUT GENERATED BY AI MODELS (WHICH MAY CONTAIN ERRORS OR "HALLUCINATIONS"), OR THE CONTENT OF ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO THE SERVICE.

8. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of the Service; (2) breach of these Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Terms; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (5) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Service.

10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and defined following the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Binding Arbitration: Any dispute arising from the relationships between the Parties to this contract shall be determined by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
