Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the BriefArq platform by architects (“you”, “user”) and, indirectly, by their end clients. By creating an account or accessing the service, you agree to these terms.

1. Who we are

BriefArq is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], CNPJ [CNPJ], headquartered at [ADDRESS].

2. Service description

BriefArq is a SaaS platform that automates the early commercial cycle for architects: AI-assisted briefing capture, fee suggestions, and commercial proposal generation. The AI-generated fee suggestion is an estimate based on contextual data — it does not constitute binding professional advice, and the final decision on fees charged always rests with the architect.

3. Registration and account

To use BriefArq you must create an account with a valid email and confirm your address. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity on your account.

4. Plans and billing

BriefArq offers the Starter, Pro, and Escritório plans, billed monthly via credit card processed by Stripe. New accounts are entitled to a 14-day trial with no card required. You may cancel your subscription at any time, self-service, from your account settings. Cancellation stops future charges; there is no pro-rated refund for the period already paid, unless required by law.

5. Acceptable use

By using BriefArq, you agree not to:

• Use the platform for illegal or fraudulent purposes;
• Attempt to access other users’ data without authorization;
• Reverse-engineer, copy, or resell the platform;
• Overload the infrastructure with abusive automated use (scraping, bots);
• Send illegal, offensive, or deceptive content to your end clients through the platform.

6. Data you and your clients enter

You are responsible for ensuring you have a legal basis to collect and enter your end clients’ data on the platform (name, contact, briefing answers, reference images). BriefArq acts as a processor of that data under our Privacy Policy.

7. Intellectual property

BriefArq, its brand, design, and technology are the exclusive property of [COMPANY LEGAL NAME]. You retain ownership of the content you enter on the platform (briefings, proposals, text), granting BriefArq only the license needed to operate the service.

8. Limitation of liability

BriefArq is provided “as is”. We do not guarantee that AI-generated suggestions (fee, proposal content) are error-free or suitable for every context — it is up to the architect to review and validate before sharing with the client. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages arising from use of the platform, including lost business or fees.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with prior notice whenever reasonably possible. You may close your account at any time from your settings.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms periodically. Material changes will be communicated by email or a notice on the platform with reasonable notice before taking effect.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The courts of [CITY/STATE] have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes, to the exclusion of any other, however privileged.
